Metal and Dragons

Aros was having so much fun. It was actually quite odd for him to be feeling this way. he had a large smile on his face and his focus to detail was as sharp as could be while in this form. The first hair was full of a symphony of scents and he had been following a single one for a fair amount of time now. It was a stag, a good source of meat and an even better way of getting rid of that hunting itch that was bugging him. He was used to hunting for his family and providing food on a semi-daily basis.

This island was granting him a ton of opportunities alongside new hunting grounds to challenge him he had purchased a new bow called a "Compound bow" it was rather nice looking and he couldn't pass up the opportunity to try something new. Arrow drawn set his eyes on the prize as the Stag had its face in the dirt unaware to the predator watching him. As he slowed his breathing and made sure his aim was true a knock came in the distance. It had been going for a while but it was louder here than further away. The Stag quickly looked up and began to run, but before it could get too far Aros had already released, piercing the body of the Stag right in the heart.

A rush of ecstasy hit him as always and he moved to scoop up his kill. Examining the carcass another knock came. With his curiosity peaked and a small hope for larger prey, he dragged the carcass onto a sled he had made and dragged it over to the source of the noise. Slowly and quietly he would sneak closer and closer to the noise.

OOC: You can post with the assumption that Aros is in eyesight by the time your post start.

Aros would drop his sled and come from the treeline once he saw that the person causing all the ruckus was just another person. It seemed like they were....practicing? A strange thing to do so far in the forest but not a strange concept. He tried his best not to appear threatening and spoke with his usual deep voice " I am Aros Xol'gran. I too haven't seen many people on the way out here. Though your tapping did scare some animals away." He looked at the wooden posts and the sword.

Aros had come to conclude that almost everyone here had some way of defending themselves, whether it be natural, magical, or physical. A person wielding a sword and practicing swordsmanship wasn't going to come to some great shock. It had seen a stranger in a 7/11 store. "Why do you choose to practice out here?"

He kept his eyes on his kill while speaking, Making sure the rope securing it was tight before paying attention to the strange looking person.

"Mmm it is quite alright, and yes I was able to take it down prior to it reacting to your hacking." He looked at the dummies and took note of the damage marks surrounding them. They were extensive and numerous. It brought back to the days when his father would practice with him through the use of dummies was far underused when in comparison to regular sparring. "A piece of wood won't try to kill you but an opponent will. If you wanna hack wood ho logging with the others." A small tidbit of the conversation he could remember from his younger days. Seein someone does it now made it clear why it was for the best.

"Is this how you practice your swordsmanship? By cutting up wood and faux bodies. You probably are better served finding someone to spar with. If push came to shove your opponent won't be standing still looking at you they will be trying to harm you." He picked up a turned over dummy and drove it back into the ground.

"But, I'm just a stranger in the woods." he shrugged.
