      Jun 10, 2022

      There once lived a dragon named Deathwing. Well, at least that’s what they called him. Deathwing was growing old, far too old for his liking. The joints of his claws ached and groaned under his ever-growing weight and his scales were beginning to los

    Nethe was already cold and tired; not being able to breath very well just made it all the worst. Why the Major thought the elves were doing something up here was beyond him. The elves had kept the peace for years and even they couldn't operate at this high altitude, for any large length of time. The rumblings that had been reported up here had to be natural.

    It would seem that he had carried his heavy pack all the way up here for nothing; but Nethe had learned long ago to always be prepared, and his pack, with all its custom weaponry and gadgets he had engineered himself, was his idea of being prepared. After all, being a magically trained gunsmith gave him a magical connection to the weapons that he made himself that only increased his abilities.

    Resting against a rock he tapped the snow from his snowshoes and looked at the towering mountains. Even being just about as high as a human could go and still breath, the peaks of the Dividing Mountains Range still seemed to rise forever; making an impossible to cross barrier between human and elvish lands. Alixia Valley behind and below him being one of the few passable paths through the mountains connecting the two halves of the continent. Which was why both humans and elves kept a strong military presence in the valley.

    It was most likely because of rumors of a new elvish commander that the Major felt the need to investigate rumblings coming from up on the higher mountains. Of course it was his luck that the Major picked him to lead a patrol up here to look around. Between the cold and altitude, bringing a bunch of people up here was just asking for someone to get killed, so Nethe decided it would be best just to come alone, he had always worked best when he didn’t have to worry about keeping others alive..

    Turning to continue his search he only took a couple of steps when he heard a change in the wind. He stopped and clapped his hands together and then hugging himself he put both hands under his armpits as if trying to warm them. He grabbed the handle of the firearm he had poking out if his pack and then in one fluid motion turned around and raised his gun at the person that had snuck up behind him just as an arrow was pointed at his face. Knowing that only elves still used bows
