"Hunting other dragons for sports is morally wrong, I do hope we all agree on this. It doesn't matter if they are criminals, it is simply wrong and barbaric. It will leave a stain on our souls!" the large Guardian spoke as he loomed over the table, several other dragons looking at him in silence as he finished his speech. "Well, I don't think anyone here would disagree with you, Mr. Arsian. You keep bringing this up, though no other dragon here has mentioned hunting anyone for sports. Is there something you are hiding, sir?" a rather petite Ridgeback said, her words holding venom and a look of suspicion was clear in her eyes. "Preposterous! Mr. Arsian would never harm another dragon! He is a lawyer, by the eleven, how could you even suggest such a thing?" another voice chimed in.

My first kill! Father has finally agreed to let me tag along on his hunts. Took him long enough... Of course, Mother still isn't on board with me going with Father. She thinks I might get hurt. I think thirteen is old enough, and I am really strong already! Even brother says my kill was excellent. Obviously I am not allowed to tell anyone about our hunts, Father could get in trouble otherwise, so I decided to just keep my experiences in this book! This time nothing really happened. The prey was already injured and I got a good shot with my bow, I hope the next hunt will be more exciting and I'm hoping to get a nice trophy from it as well!


Chaos erupted in the meeting room as accusations left the mouths of the dragons that had come together to converse about the rising crime rates in Dragonhome. "Now, now Ladies and Gentlemen. There is no need for these accusations." Silence once again fell over the seven dragons sitting around the room as the unusually large Pearlcatcher spoke up. "Apologies, sir. I must have gotten carried away." spat the Ridgeback as she slid back into her seat. "Watch your tongue. I can have you removed from the council any time." the Pearlcatcher hissed at her tone. "Mr. Unentuoja, I can assure you I am not the one that has been kidnapping those criminals and hunting them. The accusations Mrs. Hanata has made tonight were-" the Guardian began, but was promptly shut up by a gesture of the blue Pearlcatcher's paw. "Of course. I am aware that it wouldn't be you. The maneuvers that had to be performed to kidnap some of these individuals would require a smaller body and would have been impossible to be made by a Guardian like yourself. Even a Ridgeback would be too large and stocky to do this." Unentuoja said as he cracked his neck bones. "So you're saying it would have been a dragon smaller than a Ridgeback..." a small Fae spoke up, his tail flicking nervously as all eyes shifted onto him. "Yes, however, the dragon would have had to be strong enough to move quickly while carrying an unconscious dragon that is their size or even larger. So we are talking about someone smaller than a Ridgeback, but also larger than a Skydancer. Which makes the only breeds that could possibly be responsible for these crimes a Wildclaw, a Mirror or..." the blue Pearlcatcher paused, looking around the nervous faces of his subordinates.

Father has finally gotten another dragon for me to hunt! This time he allowed me to hunt it by myself, I was so excited. It was an easy one, a Spiral, but it was still fun! And quite challenging, since they are quick... But when I finally caught and killed it I felt amazing! I guess I should feel bad for doing it, at least my older sister told me so when she saw the trophy I brought home, the Spiral's horns. But these dragons aren't like us! They are evil! Criminals! Father calls them scum, I'm not too sure what the word means but I know that the creatures we hunt aren't people anymore after what they have done.

"A Pearlcatcher." the Fae finished his boss's sentence. Silence enveloped the seven dragons as they watched the Pearlcatcher's every move. A sly grin formed on the blue dragon's face as he watched the nervous eyes that were fixated on him. "Surely not." it was Mrs. Hanata that finally broke the silence with a plead, "You are not the one that has been kidnapping these criminals! You can't be! That monster has taken so many dragons to be hunted for sports. He hasn't only taken criminals either, there were innocent dragons there too that had no charges against them whatsoever!". The grin on the smaller dragon's face fell as he looked at the dark dragoness.

Father has passed away after years of battling his sickness. He has told me to continue his legacy, since Brother moved away and abandoned him. I, of course, promised I would keep the hunts going. There were still so many dragons that had to be purged for their sins. Mother wasn't happy about this. She begged me to stay with her and leave this hobby behind. The hatred in her voice when she muttered the word hobby made me shudder... It's like she was a completely different dragon for a second. I hope she will one day understand that this is something I have to do. Like my father before me and his father before him. And so will my son one day. It is the burden of my family to rid Sornieth of every single criminal.

"Innocent, huh? Sure, they may not have had any charges against them, but those filthy creatures were far from innocent. Each and every dragon I hunted was scum, they were all guilty of ruining other lives. Whether it was murder or abuse doesn't matter. They were all stains on society." the blue Pearlcatcher spat, his brown eyes full of hatred. Shock filled her eyes as she realized who her boss truly was. On the other side of the table a young Spiral carefully stood up, her gaze on the door leading outside. "No use. I locked the door when I entered. Now please, Mrs. Loika, stay seated. It is rude to stand up in the middle of a conversation." Mr. Unentuoja said with a sharp, cold voice. The Spiral lowered herself back onto the chair, but her eyes remained glued on the door. "We just talked about how unethical it is to hunt other dragons! You agreed with us, how can you be behind this?!" Mr. Arsian's voice boomed as the Pearlcatcher pulled out a set of documents. "I agreed that hunting dragons is barbaric and will taint you soul. However, the stain those criminals leave on society is greater than the stain these kills leave on my soul." Mr. Unentuoja said, the smirk returning to his face as he saw his subordinates realize what the files were.
