You know, since I met a naked guy my sanity has started to slowly put into question

I mean, I have seen some freakish stuff in my adventures, but my common sense haven't been in question every five minutes until I met him

It all started on a regular day like any other

Someone said they saw a red dragon on the mountain near the town, so the city governor send a request to check it out

It was standard procedure since a dragon could easily destroy a town depending on what kind of dragon it was

It could be a regular wyrm, the guy could be lying or it could be a real freakish dragon

Besides, it was a request to check it out and not fight it. In cases like this, they send a small team to check it out and kill it if possible or return back if it is too strong and report

So a party of the right people available at the time was formed including me

The party was made all of warriors in case we had to run or fight, but each with a different role

Since we were near the border, people of different races were more common, including me of course

We had the elf ranger Emmet, who was good ar reading tracks and had great hearing

The human Brian, who wore heavy armor and would be our shield in case we fought

The dwarf Zodiac who was tasked to carry our stuff

And me with my nose

I had worked with some of them before, since it was a human town and finding open-minded people can be hard sometimes. For previous experience, I knew that the human and the dwarf were ok. As for the elf, he was an a-s hole

And the reason I was in a human town? I was kind of tired of the muscle heads in my country. I mean, those guys only think of fighting, eating, and f-cking, sometimes at the same time

Sadly, it is not like the other countries were much better

The dwarves were either like my people or tried to scam me some coins

The elf looks down on anyone that isn't an elf

And the humans are racist as sh-t. That is why I stay near the border since they are more tolerable there

Anyway, our party went to the mountain at sunrise under the leadership of the elf and I really must say that he lived up to the elf reputation. He was soooooo annoying that I am surprised nobody slit his throat while he was asleep

I think that beside me, both the dwarf and the human were considering doing it. The way they sometimes played with their sword or ax while he talked was kind of a tale

But they never got the chance since the fucking dragon suddenly appeared

I mean, we weren't idiots, we were trying our best in finding any tracks or noise or smell while moving carefully in the woods

Sadly, we reach an open plain, and we chose to proceed

Bad idea

I don't know if he saw us, smell us or simply bad luck, but after walking for a while, he appeared from the sky and landed beside us

And we were screwed

Usually, these reports turn out to be nothing, or something blew out of proportion. Worst case, if it was a dangerous creature, we would see signs like burned stuff, big tracks, etc

And that's the problem with dragons, they are smart as sh-t and leave few tracks since the f-ckers fly

But usually you can see them for afar and run, sadly he saw us first for some reason and now we were dead

Stolen novel; please report.

What did we do? I mean, with a sudden appearance of a dragon, there are a couple of options you can do, and what we chose was......

We stared at each other for an eternity, or at least it felt like eternity

None of us dared to move, and part of me thinks that the dragon was enjoying our predicament

So be kept staring at each other until something happened

A sudden earthquake hit the mountain and the dragon started to panic

Taking advantage of the confusion, all four of us started to move. I and the elf run away from the dragon while the human and dwarf run to the dragon

Idiots I thought, but at least I was thankful since they would buy me time to run from the dragon. I am no fool, even if the four of us fight him, our chance were slim since the dragon could simply fly and throw a fire attack from above. besides, dragon scales were usually really hard to cut, so even if he didn't fly, it would be a hard fight

Running away was the best choice in my opinion. Sadly, when I looked back, I realized it wasn't

The dwarf made the best choice, running past the dragon while he was busy eating the human.  Watching it devouring the human as a snack was like a nightmare I never had, but would from then on, if I survived

The guy didn't even bought us 2 minutes, and I could see the elf cursing like a sailor about our group incompetence and stuff like that

Part of me wanted to trip the guy and save myself, but it was too risky at the time so I kept running fro my life

And what did the dragon do? I don't know if it was because he was to0 small to be considered a snack, he was tired of dwarf meat(they fight dragons more than any other race thanks to living in mountains) or he just took a fancy to us but he chased us of course and left the dwarf alone.

So we run, and we run like our lives depended on it (because it did) until we couldn't run anymore. The dragon meanwhile was running behind us while matching our speed, obviously playing around. Why do I know he was playing around? because when we tried to run to the woods or a place he didn't like, he would breathe fire or surpass us and made us run a different way

How long would you be able to do it? in our case, we gave up. I don't know for how long we run, but in the end we decided to fight. It is not like we had much choice, and if we kept running pointlessly, our chance would go from 1% to 0%

At least, if the dragon got careless, we may have been able to kill it, but running was pointless

The elf draws his bow and I took my sword while the dragon on the other side looked amused

The first one to take action was the elf. He shot an arrow to the dragon's chest and the dragon repelled like a mosquito bite. The dragon o the other hand draw some breath, and throw fire at the elf, making roasted elf "L' dragon"

To be honest, I am surprised I didn't p-ss myself there.

What did I do? I tried to run again. maybe I would slip and break my neck if I was lucky, but it was way better that dying " L' dragon" style

I pointed to my right and when the dragon turned, I run. The thing is that while running I looked back, and I realized that the dragon was looking at something

And that's when I saw for the first time the things that is slowly corroding my mind

Note: guys, do you prefer this point of view or naked man? or maybe both?? I ask because there is still a couple more to go and both are funny
