Diary of a Dragon Slayer- 8

Michael and I made it through the night, but Michael's horse wasn't so lucky. We found it dead when we went into the woods at sunrise. It had to be some mountain lions or coyotes that killed it. It couldn't be a dragon because the bones were left.
Michael and I put on our armor and strapped on our swords and continued east. We were heading to McGriffin. The last time I was in McGriffin was many years ago when I was dragon slaying with father. I remember that we were hired for 30 sheckels of silver. Luckily, the dragon was living in a cave, so no one in the village was hurt. It was the first dragon I slayed without any help from father.
When we finally made it to McGriffin, we noticed that the village was very crowded. At first Michael and I weren't sure why, but then we realized that the survivors of Corolet had escaped to McGriffin. There was a meeting being held at the church, when we got there. When we entered the church, Michael and I hid in the back and listened to the meeting. They were talking about how the dragons needed to be stopped before more villages were burned to the ground. Many men were saying how scared they were, and said that they wouldn't help in the fight against the beasts.
Michael and I stayed to ourselves until the pastor spotted us in the back of the church. He had recognized me from many years ago when I was hired to kill the dragon in the village. He asked us what McGriffin should do as a village. Since the dragons were east, Michael and I informed everyone to head west to McCready. We believed that with all the trained dragon slayers there, that would be the safest place. We then informed them that we will continue until we had eliminated all the dragons.
McGriffin was very pleased with Michael and I. We knew that they were relying on us to help them. The people prepared us a meal before we continued on. The turkey legs, greens, and bread were delicious. The horses that they gave us to ride from village to village was a great sign of their gratitude.
As the people McGriffin headed west, Michael and I continued east. This day is still very young, we still expect danger very soon. With our new horses, we are now able to get to each village quicker. We are now headed into unfamiliar territory. I'm still very glad that I'm not heading east alone.
