"His hair was wild and his beard was long. His clothes hung in rags about him. He had lived alone in the hills for many a long year, and the birds knew him well."
— Tales of Deltora
Ben lived alone in the Os-Mine hills for many years. During his daily drink at a pool that lay before a Dragon den, Ben saw seven creatures and screamed in disgust. He seized a stone and threw it at a small Goblin, killing her instantly. The other goblins leaped forward with their weapons raised, but he had run and disappeared into the forest.[1]
