Searching for the Dragons
(OOC: Read 'The Warning' first)
Hunter and Spider remained together throughout their journey back through the forest, but once they were out, they parted ways. Spider departed to the plain while Hunter turned towards the Mudika Camp.
Hunter ran. He had to get to the Black Dragon, she had to know. He ran for a half a day at full gallop until in the afternoon sun, a large fenced camp appeared. Panting, he ran even faster, breaking everything in his path. One of the gate gaurds saw him coming.
"What is it?" he asked his partner beside him.
"I...I think it's...yes, it's Hunter!" the other responded, opening the gate. Hunter howled his thanks and charged into the village. Villagers scattered to the sides of the streets to get out of his way as he ran blindly through the main street. He stopped when he saw a familiar face.
"Drok, where's BD?" he panted, his red eyes staring into the Glukkon's glowing orange ones.
"She's with the shaman...why? What happened, Magar?" he asked, his deep voice full of concern.
"No time to explain," he snapped and ran towards the shaman's hut. Sure enough, when he got inside, there sat the Black Dragon, talking to the shaman. She immediately turned her head at the sound of Hunter's arrival.
"Gees, Hunt, what's up? You look like you've seen a ghost!" Black Dragon said, moving towards him.
"You could say that," Hunter panted, leaning against a wall. "I just ran at full speed for an entire day to get you...I found a village on the other side of the great forest...but they are in peril, as is all of Oddworld. DragonAura sent me to bring you back with me." he continued.
Black Dragon's eyes suddenly narrowed and her tone of voice changed.
"The Goddess of Seasons sent you to me?" she said, her blood-red eyes staring into his own.
"Yes, BD...please come, we need you...I met an ally of Dragadon in the village...his name was Spider and-" he started.
"Spider?! Why didn't you say so?! Come on, we must move!" she shouted, then turned to the shaman. "Tell the rest of my group that I have gone on a very important mission in aid of DragonAura." she said before leaving the hut. She went to full size and spread her massive purple wings.
"Come, Hunter," she said, crouching on the ground for Hunter to climb on her back. He obeyed, and with one gigantic leap, Black Dragon was soring through the sky.
"Just tell me where to go," BD shouted above the wind.
Hunter pointed and Black Dragon headed towards the Great Forest.
