The human has been amusing

Keeping me highly entertained.

I have been watching her for the past; I think two weeks? Since she left the rat’s

And she has

Acted out of my expectations.

In my glorious estimations, I thought she would flee the first chance she got

That she would be repulsed by the rats and their touchiness.

But no, she seemed to strive.

Even getting close to that one of the rat’s, I think she called it `miss rat lady´

And even after everything went bad, I have to say

She showed off some great power

Not many humans are capable of felling those ancient trees

I don't think I know of any humans that have managed that.

I, of course, could easily burn this whole forest down.

But it is fun to see something so small

Slay something so big

Reminds me of myself actually.

...

No, no way, I take that back

This human is nowhere close to my level.

It is like, watching an ant kill a spider

Yes, that is the perfect analogy.

This human is like an ant to me.

Anyhow, now that the human is safe, she has gotten very weak.

I don't think she is capable of killing any denizens of this forest at this state.

Not for a lack of trying, but she can't draw her bow

How does she expect to survive?

“Human, you are weak yo-“

“Am I not always weak to you?”

“Yes... But I mean.. Weaker than usual. How do you expect to survive?”

“What do you mean? You are already helping me”

“I am what? I would do no such thing.”

“Hehe, but you are, you kill all the wildlife that is attacking us, and I just eat what's left!”

What a, carefree way of living

How could I have not seen

Such 

Insolence

“How dare you use me, human!”

“Hey! I did not use you, I would never use a friend. I just let you do you and eat what’s left.”

Hmpf, the human has gotten better with her words

But I won't be fooled.

“From here on, I will let you deal with the wildlife. I will not lift a scale to help you.”

“You mean feather, right?”

“I mean what?”

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.

“Feather, you're a phoenix right now. Maybe you would call it a burning feather? Nah, that doesn’t roll of the tongue well, do you even have a tongue?”

...

“Wait! don’tfly away again! I need yoooo-“

“I will be nearby human. I’m just going to be far up so the denizens of this forest won't attack me. Any creature that dares face me in battle, I can do naught but fight back, it is in my nature.”

“Oooh that’s why your so uptight. So chivalrous of you, thanks for the explanation!”

...

Why did I explain something like that to the human?

Stupid human.

Let us see how you survive alone in this forest.

I will not lift a sca-

… 

Feather to help you.

----------------------------------------

This human is smarter than I give her credit.

Mind you, nowhere near my intellect

But smart enough to survive in a forest without her main weapon.

She is a very crafty human.

At first, she tried to talk to me, make me help her

But after a few hours, she recognised that I would never back out of my promise.

Then she used a very, very basic stealth spell.

Not stopping there, she cleaned herself from top to toe with her water stone.

Then she started rubbing her whole body with mud, a lot of mud.

She looks more like one of those tree people than a human at this point.

After that she kinda stayed low to the ground and moved pretty slowly,

At every sound she ducked low, hugging any nearby tree or hiding behind bushes.

Repeating this ad infinitum, she has survived for two whole days

Impressive.

But, human, how do you expect to survive without eating?

Oh, it seems she has also noticed the need to eat, if the way she is rubbing her stomach is any sign.

But I am no expert in human gestures, I never bothered with them, really.

Now she is sharpening her stick, making it very pointy

And now she is…

Sitting still?

Looks like one of those monkeys from the hátt fjall mountains, meditating to gain enlightenment.

And smelling terrible.

She seems to be very good at sitting still tho, she even blinks less and even breath less.

Hmmm

I wonder if I could do that...

Of course I could, I am a Dragon!

The mightiest of all, the slayer of everything, nothing is too hard for me

Imitating the human, I kept calm, motionless

Flames licking my body

Staying still

Hours passed

She stared into nothingness

I stared at her

Our match has started

And I shall win

I shall stay even stiller than you, human

This shall be another victory for Dragons!

Haha

I am the greatest

I am the one who stands above all!

I am-

She moved

Aha! Another victory for me, I am the-

Wait, she stabbed something?

She has thrust her spear into an unsuspecting rabbit

...

So that was what she was doing.

Have..

Have I been defeated?

She was hunting, and I did not notice?

I was out-hunted; She caught prey before me

...

Human, my honour can not allow this

I must defeat you.

I shall hunt!

I shall gather a great feast, something far greater than your measly rabbit.

I shall be back.

And overwhelm you with meat, far more than your meager body can ever hope to manage

Hahahaha!

----------------------------------------

“Hey, mister dragon, thanks for all the meat but, how am I supposed to eat this?”

“That is not my problem, human.”

“I guess, but why did you do this?”

“No reason”

“Erm, okay, sooo should we eat together? I mean, why would you hunt something and just give it to me?”

Oh no, this could be perceived as a gift.

I would never gift a human

That would be beneath me.

“You are right human. I shall dine with you. I would never bring such a great amount of meat to a mere human. This is all for me. But I shall be graceful, you may eat some of it”

“Uuhuu, sure, well thanks anyway mister dragon! You are the best!”

Hehe, I am, human

I really am.

And.

I have to say

Thanks.

I think, I like you, human

This has been fun...

…

…

No.

I mean, I don't like you

I like that you are making this fun.

Yeah, I don't like you.

No way.

You are naught but entertainment for me.

Yes.

Entertainment.
