Aemon heads back to where the cow was standing and untying him heads away from the cave to wait for Vhagar's return.

Hours pass, the sun beginning to sink low in the sky with no sign of the great beast.

As the sun starts to sink lower the sun starts to hit his eyes and Aemon startles awake. Seeing the late hour Aemon gets up from his position and taking the rope that he had tied to the rock, starts to head down the mountain with his cow.

He is about an hour into his descent when he sees Vhagars dark silhouette upon the orange sky as the sun set, heading back to her den with a sheep in hand.

Aemon watches as the dragon returns to her home, he thinks briefly about returning but after watching the dragon land at her cave, Aemon continues down the slope.

The next morning as the sun rises Aemon makes his way back up to Vhagar's cave.

This time he finds the hoary old bitch asleep in her cave, the sack of dirty clothes which he had tossed in the cave now a fresh pile of ash.

Aemon smiles as he notices the ashes in the cave and ties up the cow that he brought back up. Afterwards he goes around to the other hidden stashes of clothing to make sure that they are not burned as well. He waits until Vhagar is awake, he was not willing to face an angry Vhagar awakened from her sleep.

The clothing outside the cave appears untouched. The dragon snores for a few more hours as Aemon waits patiently, finally awaking with a jet of flame as she yawned.

Aemon waits patiently the entire time watching the cow tied to the nearby rock still blindfolded, once Vhagar wakes up he approaches the mouth of the cave. Aemon watches her carefully trying to gauge her response.

The massive green reptile merely stares at Aemon as he enters, perhaps his now familiar smell preventing a more hostile reaction.

Aemon standing at his full height and making himself seem as big as he can, turns to get the cow untied from the rock, and dragging the cow to the front of the entrance takes out his dagger and slits the cow's throat, He then pushes the thing over towards Vhagar before stepping back from it.

Vhagar reacted with hostility at the heavy sent of blood in the air, a brilliant burst of gold and green flames escaping defensively from between her teeth. Aemon managed to dive out of the way, taking cover behind a nearby rock, as the cow was roasted, the flames lancing out of the cave's mouth. The side of the rock began to melt from the intense heat, wearing down the cover enough so that Aemon's hand was scalded. Massive blisters arose on the limb as the flesh cooked.

Aemon curses to himself as the rock behind him melts from the overwhelming heat. trying to ignore the burning of his hands Aemon takes the whip out from its hiding spot, he moves his head above the rock trying to peak over to see what the dragon was doing.

Vhagar inspects the charred cow carcass for a moment, before swallowing it whole, bones splintering between her razor sharp teeth.

Aemon stands up from behind his trusty rock, he eyes Vhagar fearlessly as she devours the corpse of the cow and waits for her to finish, gripping the whip tightly despite the pain running along his palm and fingers, Aemon stands tall and ready to jump behind the cover of more rocks should she start another fire blast his way.

Vhagar returns its molten eyes to Aemon, though they were noticeably less hostile, apparently pleased with the offering.

Aemon cautiously takes a step forward, still maintaining his upright posture and gripping the whip tightly. He starts to softly whistle a tune that he used to whistle for Azuria to calm and comfort her whenever she acted up.

Vhagar gave a derisive snort at the tune, clearly more annoyed than calmed by the sound. In flash, her massive tail whipped around to slam Aemon into the side of the cave, the weight pinning him there to slowly crush the life from the headsman.

Aemon stops the tune as he is slammed against the cave wall with a loud thump, Aemon tries to bring up the whip and aims it at the dragon's tail and backside to try and get her to remove it.

The dragon's tail continues to crush him, ribs splintering under the weight as he struggled to breathe.

Aemon beats against the tail of the dragon gasping for air, as the breath leaves him images of his family and Azuria flash through his eyes like some weird picture display

Blood spews from Aemon's mouth as his ribcage is shattered into his lungs, the oppressive weight of the monster's tail forcing him to literally regurgitate his guts. After a moment, all that is left of him is a gory smear on the stone walls.

As promised it contained half a loaf of bread, half a wheel of cheese and a flagon of ale, as well as the unexpected bonus of two apples.
Up ahead, he saw a dirt track winding up the mountain.
