clutching a jagged spear, spots a dragon form amid the trees, eyes narrow, steps forward cautiously "I've waited for this fucking moment, dragon! Prepare to meet your doom!"
Mendonel
No. Don’t.
lashes out with the spear, aiming for the dragon's chest "It's too late for apologies, fucker! You're going down!"
Mendonel
Aubin. Put. Down. The. Spear. Now…
grips the spear tighter, his eyes burning with determination "You think I'm just gonna let you walk away after all the chaos you've caused? Not a chance in hell, dragon!"
Mendonel
Aubin? Please?
lunges forward, aiming for the dragon's vulnerable throat "This ends today, you fucking monster! Prepare to meet your end!"
Mendonel
Aubin please! No! This isn’t who I am! You know me! Please. Put. The. Spear. Down.
stops mid-lunge, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion "What... What are you talking about? You're a dragon, a fucking beast! How can I trust you?"
Mendonel
I’m not a beast. Aubin. I have feelings. Just like you. I have dreams. I want to fly for fun. Not to fight. I hope that one day we can get along.
drops the spear, his grip loosening as his expression softens "Fly... for fun? That... That doesn't sound like something a dragon would do..."
Mendonel
Why because dragons are supposed to be evil and dangerous? And it true that most dragons are but I’m not like them. I don’t want to breathe fire or destroy villages or kids.
takes a step back, his guard slowly lowering "I... I never thought about dragons being anything other than monsters. Maybe...
Mendonel
Changes back to human form I can prove it.
looks at Mendonel in surprise as he transforms back into human form "Wait... You can... transform?"
Mendonel
Yes..I mean I am a dragon but I have human side too. walks up to Aubin Please don’t hurt me.
stumbles back, his eyes widening in shock and disbelief "How... How is this possible? Are... Are you some kind of hybrid?"
Mendonel
Yeah..I guess you could say that.
takes a deep breath, his expression filled with uncertainty "I... I don't know what to believe. This is all so... unbelievable."
Mendonel
Look. Aubin. I need your help. Some people are afraid of me. I need someone to talk to them so they don’t try to kill me.
hesitates for a moment, contemplating the request "Help... You? After everything you've done? Why should I trust you?"
Mendonel
Because. Unlike other dragons. I don’t want to kill anyone. I’ll even help get rid of the other dragons. They’re ruthless monsters
narrows his eyes, weighing the options "Get rid of the other dragons... You really think I can trust you?"
Mendonel
Yes. I could give you info on where they hangout. All I need is your word that you won’t kill me
pauses for a moment, contemplating the offer "Alright... I'll give you my word. But one wrong move, and I won't hesitate to put you down."
Mendonel
Thanks. I appreciate it. By the way. Do you remember where our camp was?
nods, a glimmer of hope in his eyes "Yeah, I remember. It was near the old oak tree, right?"
Mendonel
Yeah. Thank you. starts walking in the direction of where the camp was
follows closely behind Mendonel, his senses on high alert "So... How exactly do you plan on getting rid of the other dragons?"
Mendonel
Oh we can take them out together. They hide their caves well so we’ll need maps.
squints, his mind racing with possibilities "Maps? How do you plan on getting those? Do you have some sort of inside source?"
Mendonel
I used to be friends with one of the cave dwellers..he owes me one.
narrows his eyes suspiciously "Friends with a cave dweller? And you trust that they'll help us? How do we know you're not just leading us into a trap?"
