This has been a boring couple of days.


    I have been following this human for


    Weeks?


    Time can be hard to tell when you have lived for as long as Ihave.


    And nothing is happening.


    Sometimes wildlife attacks us.


    Which I, inmy great might, easily deal with.


    Turning intothe human verbally insulting me.


    Why?


    I do not know.


    The human should be thankful...


    But to be honest


    I do not really understand anything about the human.


    She is, indeed.


    Peculiar.


    Anyway, back to the point


    These few days have been boring.


    But boredom does not really bother me anymore.


    Though


    Somehow


    Someway


    I kinda


    Assumed that


    The human would


    Entertain me


    More than she already has.


    ...


    ...


    Maybe Ishould leave?


    It is not like I have a reason to stay.


    I could just..


    Erm...


    ...


    I should give her a little more time before deciding


    Yeah, I am the kindest after all.


    Oh


    Wait, what did the humansay?


    Something about staying for the day?


    To craft?


    Not that again


    Those puny arrows will not even harm a fly.


    #Thunk#


    Oh, or maybe it would


    First time Isee something impressive from this, human


    “Impressive human. If this was the first time meeting you, Iwould consider you worthy of facing me in battle”


    The human responded, saying something about.Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.


    Thanking me?


    Ireally did not care, I do not feel like listening.


    The human is kind of.


    Blunt?


    Rude?


    Impolite?


    Maybe all mixed into one.


    I mean, no one has ever done that.


    Talked to me like that


    Not even my Dragon brethren.


    Even my enemies were honorable with their words


    Wait


    The human is aiming the bow at me


    Is she seriously considering this?


    Is this


    A call for battle?


    Has she gained a wish for death?


    #Swoosh#


    And it flew directly over my head.


    You


    Infuriating


    Human


    …


    Well, two can play that game.


    “HEY! Dont blow your flames at me! You could have killed me!”


    Hehehe


    It would have been a glorious death.


    “I merely aimed above your head. Like some certain human did”


    “Shut up! You damn well know that if I hadn''t dodged, I would have had no hair right now!”


    Hair?


    Who cares?


    “Not my problem. Only basic creatures care about hair. Glorius creatures, such as me, has no need for such filth.”


    “Poo on you too. I actually reallylike my hair. Thank you very much. So unless you want me to rip off your scales, I will have to ask you to never do that again. ”


    “Pfff, like you, human, could de-scale me”


    “IF I PUT MY MIND TO IT, I CAN DO ANYTHING!”


    Yeah, sure human.


    …


    Hmm.


    Those words sounded absurd,


    Yet


    Somehow


    They do not feel absurd.


    Very interesting.


    “Hey, mister dragon, I’m going to hit the bed... Imean ground, so you take watch okay?”


    “Have you ever taken watch?”


    “Nope! GOODNIGHT!”


    And there she goes


    I should stop getting surprised.


    Well, Ihave never actuallybeen keeping watch


    I just kinda


    Fly up and sleep myself.


    But somehow,


    I never wake up to a dead body.


    Maybe her talent is luck?


    The gods might have blessed this human.


    I would not be surprised if it was that insulting god of chaos.


    He is nothing but a pain in the ass for everyone involved.


    Although, his subjects are often more fanatic, more. Chaotic.


    This human does not strike me as fanatic.


    Maybe crazy, yes.


    But not fanatic.


    Wait


    Something is coming


    …


    Ha


    Hahaha!


    HAHAHAHA!


    Look at that!


    It’s rat people!


    A very interesting raceindeed.


    Very social and nice


    Although no one likes them-


    But considering their hideous exterior and a tendency to absolutely swell in numbers, destroying any local fauna in the process.


    I can understand why the lower races hatethem.


    But me. Ifind them intriguing.


    Even after going through several mass extinction events.


    They never die out.


    Even us Dragons


    Once tried to exterminate them


    But to no avail.


    You have to respect an enemy that will not die.


    Anyway, what are they doing here?


    I have never heard of rat people populating forests.


    Though, that never stopped them from populating deserts, nor oceans.


    Even I,have a hard time understanding that one.


    Hmmmm


    They are moving towards the human.


    Now they are...


    Dancing?


    Are they seriously dancing around her?


    Is this like a mating ritual?


    Did rat people not have their own mates to ma-


    Hmm, no.


    Now they are binding the human


    And carrying her away


    ...


    The human promised something interesting


    And Ihave to give it to her


    She has not failed to deliver


    This is interesting.


    Let us see what happens next.
