Graymore is a dragon hunter

The dwarf shook his head seriously.

«The gypsies aren’t here, but the evil elves are,» he warned her.

«I didn’t know elves were evil. Everyone talks of their beauty and goodness,» Graymore gripped Maverin’s bridle more comfortably.

«Elves are all kinds, and there’s plenty more where that came from. By the way, you’ve been a nuisance to one of them. Sheret swore he’d teach you a lesson.»

«Who’s Sheret?» Graymore glanced behind him, but there was no sign of the dwarf.

«How timid he is! Isn’t he, Maverin?»

The horse cautiously roared. It certainly didn’t like the local evil spirits.

«And now, let’s go!» Graymore spurred her horse slightly, and Maverin staggered reluctantly toward the mountains beyond the treetops of the distant pines. That’s where the dragon had flown, by Graymore’s reckoning.

Rose in the Dragon’s Claws

A rainbow spread across the sky. It resembled a fairy bridge of seven colors.

«I have heard that fairies and elves travel over bridges made of rainbows,» Graymore whispered in Maverin’s ear. «They have wings, so it’s safe for them to walk across bridges, because they can’t fall down. People aren’t allowed on them without a fairies’ guide or an elf steward. The trick is that only the chosen fairies and elves can get on the bridge of the rainbow. Really, it’s curious! If some elf fell in love with me, I could travel over rainbow bridges. It would be more convenient to hunt dragons from them. By the way, do dragons have the ability to fly onto rainbow bridges?»

There were no winged figures in the rainbow. The air was pleasantly fresh after the rain. A sweet scent of roses wafted in from somewhere. Why were there roses in the middle of nowhere? There are probably rosebushes somewhere in the thickets that bloom in the spring. Roses smell especially strong after a rain. The smell of roses followed Graymore all the way, but no roses could be seen.
