Chapter 7
City of Bentarin
On the eight day just as the half elf had said they came upon the city of Bentarin. They had just topped a hill could see the city before them. It had obviously been split into two parts with a wall splitting the two. The part closer to him had a small wall guarding it and then the second part had a gigantic wall rising into the sky, making it impossible to see into that part of the city. One part alone would have made it an enormous city but with both together there was no word that Mathew could think of to describe it.
"If your done gawking we can head down now", came the half elf's voice mockingly. Indignantly, Mathew replied,"Now it isn't every day that I see such a grand and enormous place." "You get used to it. Now hurry up", came the reply, the half elf already heading down the hill. Mathew had to quickly grab his bag call the dragon and run to catch up.
The dragon really needed a name. He couldn't just keep thinking of it as the dragon. He would just have to think up a suitable name. The dragon had grown larger in the last few days, and eaten much, much more. It was now slightly larger then the largest dog he had ever seen, with its head just above his waist. It ravenous eating had caused him to have to hunt much more every time they stopped. Occasionally it would catch a rabbit or squirrel all by itself, but that wasn't enough to fill its monster of a stomach. The half elf had simply laughed when Mathew mentioned the dragons over eating and told him to stop complaining and get to hunting. This was one of the longest conversations they had had on the long journey.
As the began to creep closer to the city it began to look less and less grand. The wall protecting the city was broken in areas and dirty. Very few guards patrolled the wall with only one popping up occasionally.
