This journey has been hell, especially when Tina decided to GET RID OF THE FUCKING OCEAN. Now I have to walk instead; Why the hell couldn’t we keep the ocean? It would have made things easier but it’s Tina. What can you expect? Hearing those three are something else, but at least they’re entertaining. Someone would beg to differ though.
As I was walking along the bottom of the Nocean, I went a bit off road to just sit down and take a breather. But as I was enjoying my peace and quiet time, the Dragon Lord wanted to ruin that. “You finally taking a break, Fatemaker? I’m surprised, since you seem to like playing this role so much.” He suddenly said out of nowhere. Well, goodbye sweet silence. “So what? Everyone needs a break here and there. Especially when I’m on a quest to save the world from you.” I responded. “Save the world from me? I am honored, Fatemaker.” He joked. “Sure you are, horns.” I said in a sarcastic voice. “Horns? Who are you calling horns?!” He yells in a ‘How dare you’ way. “Who do you think?” “My name is not Horns, it’s Dragon Lord.” “Ok, but I like horns.” I reply and he went quiet.
For a moment, I thought I offended him and thought he was gonna send some enemies my way. I was about to apologize but he spoke first, “Whatever, call me what you want. Just don’t say it in front of people.” He finally responded back. Relieved, I smiled and nodded. “Alright, Horn!” I said happily and got up to set up camp. We continue to have a small conversation while I set up camp and after I was done. I took a well deserved sleep.
*Time-skip*
‘This is bad!’ I thought in a panic. I’ve had many battles but this one is becoming a bit too much for me. Skeletons, seawargs and coiled all around me. Too many enemies at once. How am I gonna make this?
As I swing my weapon to the nearest enemy to at least push it back from me, a skeleton suddenly grabbed my left arm. As I turn my focus to the skeleton, a seawarg appears from behind me. How did I not notice this big bastard?! Before I had anytime to react, the seawarg slashed my right side with its sharp claws. I scream out in pain and fall on my butt. The skeleton that’s still holding my arm was about to strike again, but I was quicker this time. I block his attack and was able to finish him off with a final swing. The seawarg was about to attack again, but I slice him from below to above. Catching the seawarg off guard and knocking it to its side. I rush to cover as I hold my side, trying to stop the blood as mush as I can. But the pain was so excruciating that it made it more difficult to put pressure on it. I then hear more enemies approaching me. ‘I won’t survive if I stay and fight with this injury. I have to escape!” I thought in a panic as I looked around for an escape route. I found one and I made a dash for it. I was able to escape the area and make pretty good distance from them. Unfortunately, the adrenaline was slowly leaving me. I was becoming extremely tired and there was more blood coming out of my injury. I sat down, panting from sheer exhaustion.
‘I can barely move and I’m so tired. I have to take care of this injury, if I don’t, I’ll die in my sleep from blood loss.’ I thought, but I couldn’t move my hands anymore. I just sat there, holding my right side. Then I heard a voice. “Fatemaker…are you ok?” Asked the Dragon Lord in a concerned voice, which surprised me but I was more focused on staying awake. “I’m…fine. Just a little scratch…no worries.” I assured him while panting slightly. “Oh, yeah, sure. Just a little scratch. Definitely not a giant claw injury that’s the size of your head that’s full of blood!!” He said in a very sarcastic tone, but there was a hint of worry in his voice that I caught. “Horns, please, don’t yell right now.” I cried, hoping that he would not yell anymore. “Sorry, but that is not just a simple scratch.” he apologized, “You need to bandage that quickly before it get infected or you’ll die of blood loss.” He stated.
Why is he so worried about me?
“Why do you care? You’re my enemy. I thought you were supposed to hate me and laugh when I get heavily injured.” I snapped at him. “Why are you worried about me?” I said in a much softer tone than I did before. He stayed quiet after that. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have snapped at you. It’s just this damn wound is-“ before I could finish my sentence, I suddenly felt lightheaded. I heard movement in front of me, like something was swerving, then it stopped. I wanted to look up but my eyelids were so heavy that I could barely keep them open. Then I heard footsteps coming towards me. Panic was setting in, someone found me. Are they an enemy or ally? I try to at least get up but all I can do is begin to fall on my side. As I was about to fall to the floor, an arm suddenly grabbed me before I fell. Whoever showed up saved me from further damage. The stranger sat me back down as I was before and I felt…safe. The second that feeling of relief hit me I was out like a light.
I woke up with a nice breeze on my face. I could feel the warmth of the sun around me, but not on my skin. Something was shading me from the Sun. I slowly open my eyes, I look around to see where I was. I remember what happened before I passed out. Fighting, bad injury, shelter, foot steps, arms and passing out.

As I fully remember what happened, I now feel an arm that is wrapped around me. I look to right and see the last person I thought I would see next to me like this.
Dragon Lord
Right next to me…asleep.
My eyes widen in shock to see him here. Shouldn’t he be at his pyramid? Why is he here? Wait…why is his arm around me?! But not only that, his wing was around me as well!
I look down to see my right side bandaged up. Same with some other minor wounds around me. Did he do this? Why did he help me? I was gonna loose my mind if I kept asking questions like this. So instead, I gently nudged him to wake him up. ‘Holy shit, he’s tall.’ I though in amazement.
He finally wakes up after I nudged him a couple of times. He opened his eyes and looked around for a bit until his eyes landed on me. It took him a second to register that it’s me and his eyes widen in shock. We both stayed there, staring at each other. The shock leaves my body and the flood of questions barge in. But I try to keep my cool and decided to ask only a few. “Did you patch me up?” I stupidly asked, who else would it be? But I needed to make sure. It took him a couple of seconds to respond since he still a bit stunned. “Uh…yes. I bandaged your wound.” He replied. I don’t know why, but relief spread throughout my body. He looked down to his arm still wrapped around me and he instantly pulled away. I frowned a bit but I quickly put on a smile. “Well, thank you. I would’ve died if you didn’t.” I beamed, “But, if you don’t mind me asking, why did you?” I asked. That question stunned him a bit. “I…don’t know,” he said looking down to the ground, “When I saw you in so much pain. Something in me was trying to reach out to you.” He finished. I was so…I don’t even think the words shocked or stunned even compare to what I’m feeling right now. He…genuinely wanted to help me? “I couldn’t just let you die there. Even thought you would’ve most likely come back, I still had this strong feeling to save you.” He added with so much honesty in his voice. I couldn’t believe it. I smile as my face softened, “Thank you for saving me, Horns.”
He looked at me in surprise and also a bit of annoyance. “You’re…welcome.” I gave him a bright smile and sat closer to him. He was stunned but slowly put his arm and wing around me once again. We stayed there in comfortable silence for a while until I spoke first.
“You know Horns, I never hated you. I actually was really interested. Yeah I was kinda mad that you killed Butt Stallion, but I was still happy that you stayed and talked with me. You’re really funny and interesting to talk to.” I confessed. “You’re weird.” “Not as much as you.” I snapped back and he laughed. “I don’t hate you either. Actually, I’ve been trying to save everyone from Tina. Even you.” He confessed. “Save us from Tina? Why?” I mean, I could understand why. But it can’t be that bad, right? “It’s best I don’t tell you right now. But I will soon. I don’t want to ruin this.” I raise an eyebrow. “Ruin what?” I asked curiously and he looked away. It took me a second to realize what he was talking about.
He didn’t want to ruin this moment with me.
But does he mean this as a peaceful moment or more? I decided to test it. I waited for the right moment to strike. When I thought the moment was right, I leaned up and gave him a soft, long kiss on the cheek. He froze at my action. I pull away and look at him. Once he snapped out of it, he looked down, bashful. “Can you do that again?” I’ve never imagine I would hear him say that so shyly!
I smile brightly and nod. “Of course, Horns!” I wrap my arms around his neck and give him lots of kisses. He pulls me closer to him and I finally get my answer. I give him one final kiss next to his lips. I sit on his lap and lean on him. He holds me close to him, so gentle and caring. While being careful of my wound. I was gonna fall asleep until, “You need to come up with a better nickname.” He said while smirking as I laughed.
