As he drudged up the long hill towards the dragons in, he kept wondering why it looked so different. "Ahhh well, it's still the same old Dragon's inn.", the dog barked at that and tried to lick him in the face, but the dirty young boy slapped him down before he got a chance. As he approached the enterance to his favorite little spot behind the hill he finally figured out what was bothering him so much. One of the windows was broken, and the door was battered all to hell. The stairs were in no better shape. This worried him. He didn't like the look of it down the road, and he didn't like the look of it now, as he stared at it. Slowly, he put down his packs, and put a hand on his scabbard. The dog let out a deep throated growl. Going foward with extreme caution, the young by took his first step onto the broken board of the Inn. It gave out a great creak. It made the dog, and boy shudder. Moving foward still, but looking back every once in a while, he slowly kicked aside the two boards that were laying on the floor, that were blocking the door. "To bad, that used to be a good door to, to bad someone had to cut it in two." "KiiquE! Gelrich, if he's here hasn't cleaned house in a heck of a long time.", the boy yelled, as he pulled cobwebs from his brow. He looked at the room before him with disgust. There lie 3 skeletons, all grotesquely twisted and turned in such a way that even an amatuer scout to figure out that whoever killed them, broke there backs. "I don't know who they were, but I do know that Gelrich wasn't one of them." ********************************************************************** Please respond!
