The next morning she woke early with the comforting purr of Rajiv beside her. She tentatively shook him and said, ¡°Today is the day, we are going to find those monsters.¡± Sleepily Rajiv looked at her as if begging for just a couple of minutes more. Arridian jumped out of bed and the tiger cub couldn¡¯t let her go off alone. Quickly he jumped off too and ran around her as she packed.
While the whole village was still asleep one young elf and her unusual companion sneaked out into the woods. Without a problem, the two found the tracks and followed them to a cave. There they split up and Arridian walked in seemingly lost. The three kobolds, who were scraping at the last pieces of a small meal, sat there and once they saw her she got their attention. ¡°He, he, hello?¡± She said trying to sound innocent.
One of the Kobolds then recognized her and grabbed a small spear that lay beside him. ¡°You are the one that shot us.¡± He called out. The others reacted at that with their spears at the ready. Arridian backed off a bit and the three kobolds followed. Rajiv sneaked around them and right before the kobolds attacked Arridian with their spears Rajiv jumped at them and smacked two to the ground. The third soon turned and Arridian saw her chance to throw her nets over them. With all three captured Arridian and Rajiv proudly walked back into the village.
