Dragons in the Valley: Chapter Two
Reeva was doing her best to hide behind a small thicket of trees. She had left the village in the early hours of the morning, setting off just as the sun rose. It had been a beautiful day; there had been a soft mist lying gently across the lower reaches as she began her journey, which had given way to beautiful sunshine during the long trek into the depths of the valley. It was a mild day, and Reeva hadn't needed the scarf Berta had insisted she take. Still, though... she couldn't help but feel that she would have enjoyed it more if she hadn't been walking towards almost certain death. She had mused on this while she ate her lunch, a traveller's fare of dried goat meat from Winfar, the goat-herder, and a small block of cheese. Pessimistically, she hadn't packed much in the way of food; what was the point? She doubted there would be a return journey.

Dragons in the Valley
There weren't always dragons in the valley. There was nothing to draw them there; the villagers didn't farm cattle, there was very little gold to be had, and nothing at all in the way of precious gems or other treasures. What little renown they had came solely from their soap-making; a rare treat in these lands, and known only among the villages scattered around the valley. Better to have a little, and worry less, than fill the vaults with coin and bring dragon fire upon them. The rich southern lands could deal with the beasts.
