With a smirk, I casually walk up behind the woman.

"Hello!" I say, holding up my hand as a gesture of greeting. The woman doesn't immediately react but does slowly stand up and turn towards me.

"What are you doing here?" the woman asks.

"I could ask you the same thing. I came here because of the story my family has passed down through several generations of our home being burnt down by a Dragon. Was that you?"

"Hmph, I'm not that old! ...That was my grandmother..." The Dragon exclaims, turning away with a slight blush to her face.

"I see... Then this will be quick!" I unsheath my sword and point it to the Dragon.

"Come to get revenge on me?" the Dragon asks, getting into her own battle stance.

"Naaaaah, I've just always wanted to see how stronge a Dragon really was. Wanted to see if the all the stories I heard were true."

"Trust me, they are both true and much more," she says as she lunges towards me at incredible speed. I was actually surprised by this sudden speed so I barely managed to block at the last second. I was still sent flying back a few feet.

The onesided battle pretty much continued like this for some time. My sword made no visible damage to her scales, I could barely stand the slightest bit of fire she breathed out, and most impacts would send me sliding across the ground.

My body soon gave up on me as I laid on the floor trying to catch my breath. I just managed enough strength to look over the the Dragon to see her with smile on her face. Cute~

"You had enough?" she asks walking up to me and sitting on the ground next to me.

"Yeah. Dragons are pretty cool," I answered.

"...You really weren't looking for revenge?" the Dragon asks, taking a more sullen look on her face.

"It's just an old story from a time most people don't really remember. What about you, why are you here?"

"A Dragon can't show a little interest in her family's history?" she asks, raising an eyebrow and smirking.

"Fair point. Same time tomorrow for round two?" I ask, giving the cheekiest grin I could muster. The Dragon just stares at me and then breaks out laughing.

"And why shouldn't I just claim you now that I have beaten you?" she asks, sitting on top of me with both her claws next to my head and her face close to mine.

"Because someone as powerful as you deserve someone just as strong," I answer, being well and truly honest. This seems to catch her off guard as she just sits ther looking at me with a confused and surprise look.

Her expression turns to a warm smile as she gets up and turns around. "I'll find some healing herbs then. Got to have you at you strongest."

Looks like my life has taken a much different turn than I originally thought. My ancestors are probably rolling in their graves, but hey, I get to spend more time with a strong, beautiful Dragon.
