Chapter 4 part 2
*****
A pair of deep yellow eyes gazed out into the clearing where the elves had made their camp. A small figure worked its way to a nearby tree and began to climb, its claws finding the natural handholds in the trees trunk, the small lizard launched itself off the tree and a pair of wings unfolded from its sides. It glided to the top of the tree and perched on a branch.
The lizard turned it gaze upon the small human boy who sat next to the fair haired elf, it paused for a few moments sitting perfectly still, then jumped of the top of the tree, spread its wings and glided down towards the boy. It landed on the boys chest and looked up at him with big wide eyes, the boy recoiled in shock, so the lizard hissed menacingly.

Zanderick looked up and saw the lizard land on Rian, he started towards him, walking at a slow pace. Rian sat perfectly still after the lizard had hissed at him, not a muscle moved in his body and not a sound moved past his lips.
Zanderick stooped and pickked up the lizard, it wriggled and squirmed but gaze in after a few moments. He then started to scrath behind the lizards ear. The lizard made a strange purring noise and settled down. Peace returned to the campsite. The forest was silent, the trees stood, tall and proud, their dark green leaves moving in the breeze. The lizard looked up at Zanderick.
"He's harmless." Zanderick explained.
