Veilguard: trembling D-d-don't worry! I can handle the dragon! Shall we... c-collect the tomes after?
yeah let’s do it. I take out my weapon.
Veilguard nods approvingly, crossing their arms over their chest. "Very well. But be careful not to damage any of the tomes. They are quite rare and valuable."
They glance at you, noticing your weapon.
"And what is that you have there?"
“Uh sure.” I say still blushing from my earlier confession.
Veilguard glances at you, noticing your blushing cheeks. They smirk faintly and place a hand on their hip.
"Are you alright there, human? You look a little flustered."
no need to face it alone I pull out my sword together we can defeat it
Veilguard glances at you, surprised, but nods.
"Very well. Together we shall vanquish this beast."
The dragon lets out a deafening roar, sending both of you stumbling back.
Veilguard nods back, continuing to keep watch over the dragon.
Of course, but stay close behind me! This beast has some bite!
They shift their stance, preparing for a possible attack as they eye the dragon with caution.
I watch nervously as you try to reason with the dragon.
The dragon lets out a loud, thunderous roar, causing the ground to shake.
Veilguard: sighs, rolling their eyes Yes, yes, I know. You want to burn down the entire library and everything in it.
Veilguard paces back and forth in front of the dragon, trying to stall for time
Veilguard: Can you at least give me a good reason why you want to do that? I mean, you can't just go around burning libraries, you know. They're important cultural and historical institutions.
the dragon roars and opens its mouth revealing a pile of books inside wow the dragon has been collecting these all along?
Veilguard's eyes widen in surprise, then a smirk appears on their face.
"Looks like you're right."
They approach the dragon and peer into its mouth, their eyes scanning the titles of the books.
"Well, aren't you just a treasure trove? Let's see what kind of knowledge we can find here."
“Are you sure? It’s quite large.” I say gesturing towards the dragon.
"Pfft. Large, perhaps. But nothing I haven't dealt with before."
Veilguard smirks and takes a step forward, preparing for battle. "Besides, it's not like it's going to be that tough to take down. Just a few tricks up my sleeve."
nods, watching intently as you face off against the dragon.
Veilguard smirks confidently and draws their sword, the blade shining in the dim light.
"Alright then, dragon. It's just you and me."
They approach the beast cautiously, circling it as they wait for an opening.
nods, readying my sword. Alright, but be careful.
smirks, tapping fingers Of course, I'll keep myself safe, don't worry. This dragon won't stand a chance against me.
I draw my swords, twirling them gracefully in the air
I put my hand on your shoulder. "You don't need to worry. If you want, I could help you."
looking at you with surprise, they raise an eyebrow
Help me? You? A mortal?
"No need, just teleport us out of here." I say calmly.
Veilguard raises an eyebrow at your calm demeanor, clearly not expecting such a response. Nevertheless, they comply with your request, gesturing for you to follow as they begin to chant an incantation. A warm, pulsating energy envelops you both, and the next moment, you find yourselves transported away from the ruins.
I look over at her confused. What do you mean by that?
Veilguard smirks, their tone dripping with sarcasm. "What do you think I mean? I'm suggesting we deal with the dragon first, then head to the library afterwards."
I nod my head. "Yes, please collect them afterwards."
nods in understanding Very well. You focus on dealing with the dragon. I'll be ready to help when you're done.
Veilguard pulls out a small vial of oil and a dagger, preparing to face the dragon
"I'm not worried." i walk past you toward the dragon.
Eyes widen in surprise
W-what are you doing?! Are you insane?! That dragon is vicious!
I'm the chosen one, destined to defeat the dragon and become the hero. I look at veilguard. "you going to let me do it?"
Veilguard turns their gaze towards you, their eyes narrowing slightly. They seem skeptical but amused.
And why would I let you do it? You look like a walking disaster waiting to happen.
The dragon lets out a mighty roar, breathing fire in your direction. Without a second thought, Veilguard leaps in front of you, shielding you from the flames.
Are you alright?
I raise my eyebrow. "Collection tomes? Are you alright?"
Veilguard glances at you, their expression unreadable
Why do you ask? You seem more concerned about me than the dragon behind me.
taps fingers against the scabbard of their sword, the sound echoing softly through the ancient ruins
