"Well Little Man, I kind of roam where I please, my name is Jasper but my friends used to call me Bear; but I have no friends now and pretty much go where I please. This forest pleased me so I stayed."

Bear stood up and followed the man as he walked away. "I will follow you, I came across a trail a few days ago from a band of bandits that have been raiding some of the local villages. I'm not implying anything by your smaller stature my friend, but you look like you may need a companion at least to the next village."

As he walked through the woods his sharp sense of smell warned him that he was not alone in the woods, he stopped walking and sniffed the air again. "My friend it looks like we are not alone. He shouted loudly, "If you're a friend show yourself, if your not prepare yourself for my axe cuts deep." Bear then pulled his double bladed axe from his back and waited to see who would reveal themselves first.
