I had been sitting in the wakening lands for days....just watching and tracking for signs of Wuoshi. When, suddenly, out of no where she flew down and landed in the forest. Wuoshi was awake!!!

I quietly watched her for hours while sending messages to warn others....and, more importantly, find help.
But, my warnings were of no use.... every now and then a wizard or druid would appear, and Wuoshi would quickly slay them....adding their bodies to the pile.

Humm...what was she doing though? Why a pile? Why wasn't she eating them?
And then it dawned on me....she was creating a nest of flesh to lay her eggs in!! Where they would feed once hatched and grow!! She had to be stopped!!!! But still no word of help had come....who would stop her?
More hours passed and I must have fallen asleep...because before I knew it, it was the next day....but Wuoshi was still there!!
A booming voice called out "Elf....I know you have been watching me. Come here."
It was Wuoshi!
I quickly climbed down the mountain and stood before her.

"What do you want with me elf? The only reason you are still alive is because I know of your battle with the giants....but don't assume you have free reign in these woods."
I replied quietly "Well...I heard....you had a legendary bow....I was just wondering...."
"YOU WANT MY TREASURE?!" she shouted

"You are like all adventurers! You will not have it! Do you not realize how quickly I could destroy you? A single bite, elf!!!!"

Trembling and clutching my bow I replied "I'm...I'm not afraid of you! I'm an archer of Kelethin! And I've come for the legendary Skydarkener!"
"Not afraid of me? YOU WILL BE!" she roared
Suddenly I was overtaken by fear....my elvish instincts taking control of my body and fleeing as fast as I could.
It looked like Wuoshi wasn't going to surrender her treasure without a fight....but, I couldn't do it alone!
More hours passed....and I met another archer who had taken the <Archers Vow>. It was a start, but we needed more still.

Luckily soon after word arrived of a mighty guild who had learnt of Wuoshis murderous rampage, and the nest of flesh she was creating. It was Awakened! And they were coming!!!

I quickly contacted the leader of their war band, surely two extra archers would be needed. They agreed, and soon after the <Archers Vow> officially had joined the growing battle party!

We were preparing our ambush at the giant city entrance...when suddenly shouts could be heard from the forest. Wuoshi was coming?!
It was madness!! We were all so close together!! Inside a narrow hallway!! Did they not know of Wuoshis poison breath?!
I ran out of the hallway and onto the hill outside....an archer knows better than to fight in the miasma of a dragon!!!!
Moments later Wuoshi arrived and entered the hallway. Sure enough, within seconds several of their band had fallen. But there was no time to mourn them, we were battling a dragon!!!
I followed behind Wuoshi and began shooting with my arrows. Staying out of range of her miasma.

I could hear echos of her roars and the sounds of battle bouncing off of the hallways walls....it was a mighty fight indeed!! And as I fired, I could see more adventurers fall.
But, in the end, we were victorious!! Wuoshi had been defeated!!!!!!!!

Only...when searching the body....I quickly learnt there was no Skydarkener. Wuoshi had hidden the legendary bow from me!!!! Knowing that I was after it!!!!!
So, the hunt continues. When Wuoshi awakens again, I'll be there....but next time I'll be even stronger. I won't rest until her bow is mine.
I just hope the dragon city doesn't hold this against me.
