A cockatrice problem

When Aron and Widogast (the monster hunter) met in the Golden Crown Inn in Rindael, Widogast made a deal with Aron (who is known to only go after dragons) to hunt a cockatrice, which is best described as a two-legged dragon, wyvern, or serpent-like creature with a rooster's head, so at least part of it was a dragon.

 

"Drinks on me when you bring me a cockatrice head." said Widogast.

"Only drinks?" asked Aron.

"Well, you may keep the bounty too." replied Widogast "or are you afraid of it?"

Aron: "No way, I'll get you that cockatrice head, I am not affraid of some chicken."

"Okay, deal, may luck be on your side then." said Widogast jokingly.

"Ha, where I'm going I don't need any luck." replied Aron.

 

A cockatrice was recently spotted on the border of Faldia and the Daelen near the Whispering Woods.

 

Aron's preparation included polishing his armor, and putting a special mirror coating on his shield. But when he finally reached the place where the creature was spotted, he couldn't believe his eyes, no report made mentions of the size of the beast. Trampling the fence near the path, the beast almost was the same height of a nearby tree.

 

"That dammed Widogast, he knew the size of that beast, I'm sure of it..." thought Aron. "Well, here I go..."
