After a long pause, Shin looked into the eyes of the little man who trapped him. He was clad in snakeskin and weilded a small hunting knife. His green hair was shoulder-length, and seemed to blend in with the leafy surroundings.
"My my my...seems I caught me a mighty one" said the strange man. "I wonder how he tastes."
Shin grunted; cannabalism was forbidden in his religion. He glared into the stranger's eyes. As the stranger approached slowly, knife at the ready, a twig cracked. Both men looked in the direction of the twig to see a baby red dragon emerge from the woods. The strange snake-skin clad man looked at Shin, then freed him from the trap.
"One of dem things is enough food ta last for days" said the stranger with a sly grin on his face. Since Shin hadn't eaten in a while, he agreed to help the stranger in killing the small creature.
"Tell me, is the mother going to appear?" Shin asked the stranger. He shook his head.
"Nah, them things dont care about their young...they tend to eat the first two that hatch, as well as the eggs that don't hatch after 4 days." Without another word, the stranger leapt toward the dragon, and plunged the knife into it's little heart.
The dragon roared, and kicked the stranger in the gut using his tiny feet. He fell. Shin took this opportunity to forge his ice sword and slash downward. The dragon saw this coming and struck Shin with his tail. The sword still cut down on the beast, killing it, but Shin had a pretty bad gash running down his right arm. The stranger looked at him.
"You better let me have a good look at that...gashes from a red dragon's tail can be fatal. Their tails are poisonous, ya know?"

After being kicked in the groin, Sigilus was a little reluctant on helping Gyulim, but her beautiful smile and her well-shaped body kept him going anyways. After walking through multiple forest trails, they heard the roar of a baby dragon in the middle of combat. Gyulim, who never heard such a sound, grew curious. Sigilus tried to take advantage of this...
"Ya know, I could tell you a bit more about the creature that made that sound...for a...small fee," he said, and snickered. Gyulim caught it.
"Don't expect anything just yet...unless Shin is dead, you're out in the cold...speaking of which, it's too damn hot around here! Sigilus, do you have a knife or anything?"
Sigilus nodded and handed over a well-made knife with a dragon design on the hilt, and a silver blade with a gold lining on the blunt end. Gyulim took the knife, and cut off a portion of her robes so that half of her thigh was showing. At once, she began to feel cool. She stowed away the scrap fabric in a pocket inside her robes; she might need it later.
"Don't you get any ideas, Sigilus" she stated immediately. Sigilus laughed, and winked at her. He then focused his mind, and she suddenly had the urge the cut off part of the torso of her robe, revealing her belly.
She sighed.
