Alistair, Rhineas and Sanlysia had left for their journey into the kingdom. They didn't take any men with them just the three and they had Jiua above them, just in case. Jiua had been causing some troubles with the cattles. She was feeding on them so Rhineas brought her into the wood for hunting down wild animals. The villagers had told them about the wolves taking their babies and lambs sometimes. As he rode Jiua above the dense forests, Sanlysia and Alistair rode their horses beneath them tailing Jiua.
Rhineas couldn't see them from above but they could see the gigantic dragon above them. As Jiua flew a little near to the roof of the forests the trees averted and parted from each other like a crowd cleaves making way for their king. There was somethig absurd about this forests Rhineas had scoured it a few times Jiua didn't caught even a slightest trail of wolves. There was a scent more intese and redolent.
Down on the groud Alistair had seen something more horrendous. He kicked his horse and sent it to a quick gallop. He stood on the back of the horse and shouted at Rhineas warning him about a danger he had just encountered.
