Serpent Lake I don’t recognize who’s in my bed

They’d been going for miles and find themselves in the deserted land east of their kingdom. The scent is already weakening too much for his liking, yet he will continue until he’s got what he needs — information or the puppy itself.

He’s caught off guard by Vanity’s sudden voice drift through his ears and he looks over to her as she asks him the question. “Training I’m sure a real warrior would not consider real training.” He laughs darkly. “I’ve fought my whole life and every time it’s been to the death, so I guess you can tell what kind of training I’ve got. And I’m not dead so that has to mean something.” 

Then to answer her next question he contemplates for a moment. “I will stay just outside of their borders, along the edge and sniff around to see what I can pick up. Surely there’s a lot of information I can gain by the entrance to the valley. Since there is only one. We’ll see though.”
