Tainted Water

"I see you brought help" said the wolf, keeping an close eye on Vix, every once in a while he'd bare his fangs showing his displeasure from her

earlier reaction.

She was nervous of the wolf, however Whiskey-Jack calm demeanor put her at ease, trusting his instincts of being around the huge white

wolf.

"Vix well she… well she demanded to come," he said to Tel, trying to hide his embarrassment from not being able to stop her

Keeping an eye on her for awhile, the wolf turned its head, "You've told me her name…now what is yours?"

"Sorry I forgot to introduce myself, Whiskey-Jack" he replied taking a bow, trying his best to show respect to the wolf.

"Nice to meet you both," the wolf replied, "You can call me Tel, I used to be an Alpha until these creatures appeared…so let's begin"

[Hunting Party (2/5)]

Walking away the two followed the huge white wolf, "Did you just speak to the wolf, can it even understand you?" Vix curious as to Whiskey-Jack's

ability.

"It's name is Tel.. he's going to help us hunt today" Whiskey-Jack replied with a small grin.

Following the wolf it had lead them to a riverbed, the water still running rapidly even in the cold winter air.

The current wasn't too strong to not be frozen over, what caught his eyes was the fact the water seemed to be hot with steam rising off it's surface, believing their may be a hot spring under the river.

"Careful don't touch the water" said Tel, "A creature resides in it… for other animals to return, we must first give them a safe and clean water source"

Stepping closer to get a look, he could see the water had a tint of black rather than a usual crystal clear blue. Taking another step he was certain he could see a figure in the water.

"Eeeeekkkk" a loud screech was heard as a figure shot out of the water, splashing the water everywhere, and it felt cool to the touch.

The being fell fast, landing in front of Whiskey-Jack,  with sheer force from the landing it had sent him stumbling backwards a few feet.

[Reward: 1000XP]

[Bonus XP is available for this quest]

Gathering himself, Whiskey-Jack got a better look at the creature. It looked like a long serpent, its body thick, and the head resembled that of a dragon.

"Dad told me of dragons, they roamed before all else, and the threat they posed to the God's" Whiskey-Jack couldn't help but think back to the stories his father told him when he was six year's old.

"This must be their descendant or a variant, it's body is smaller, it has no limbs or wings and it's water based," His hands beginning to shake, noticing this he steeled his resolve.

"Harder and harder situations, I need this to grow."
