《The Immortal Dragon And Dragon Girl》Chapter - 8
Advertisement
This has been a boring couple of days.
I have been following this human for
Weeks?
Time can be hard to tell when you have lived for as long as I have.
And nothing is happening.
Sometimes wildlife attacks us.
Which I, in my great might, easily deal with.
Turning into the human verbally insulting me.
Why?
I do not know.
The human should be thankful...
But to be honest
I do not really understand anything about the human.
She is, indeed.
Peculiar.
Anyway, back to the point
These few days have been boring.
But boredom does not really bother me anymore.
Though
Somehow
Someway
I kinda
Assumed that
The human would
Entertain me
More than she already has.
...
...
Maybe I should leave?
It is not like I have a reason to stay.
I could just..
Erm...
...
I should give her a little more time before deciding
Yeah, I am the kindest after all.
Oh
Wait, what did the human say?
Something about staying for the day?
To craft?
Not that again
Those puny arrows will not even harm a fly.
#Thunk#
Oh, or maybe it would
First time I see something impressive from this, human
“Impressive human. If this was the first time meeting you, I would consider you worthy of facing me in battle”
The human responded, saying something about.
Thanking me?
I really did not care, I do not feel like listening.
The human is kind of.
Blunt?
Rude?
Impolite?
Maybe all mixed into one.
I mean, no one has ever done that.
Talked to me like that
Not even my Dragon brethren.
Even my enemies were honorable with their words
Wait
The human is aiming the bow at me
Is she seriously considering this?
Is this
A call for battle?
Has she gained a wish for death?
#Swoosh#
And it flew directly over my head.

You
Infuriating
Human
…
Well, two can play that game.
“HEY! Dont blow your flames at me! You could have killed me!”
Hehehe
It would have been a glorious death.
“I merely aimed above your head. Like some certain human did”
“Shut up! You damn well know that if I hadn't dodged, I would have had no hair right now!”
Hair?
Who cares?
“Not my problem. Only basic creatures care about hair. Glorius creatures, such as me, has no need for such filth.”
“Poo on you too. I actually really like my hair. Thank you very much. So unless you want me to rip off your scales, I will have to ask you to never do that again. ”
“Pfff, like you, human, could de-scale me”
“IF I PUT MY MIND TO IT, I CAN DO ANYTHING!”
Yeah, sure human.
…
Hmm.
Those words sounded absurd,
Yet
Somehow
They do not feel absurd.
Very interesting.
“Hey, mister dragon, I’m going to hit the bed... I mean ground, so you take watch okay?”
“Have you ever taken watch?”
“Nope! GOODNIGHT!”
And there she goes
I should stop getting surprised.
Well, I have never actually been keeping watch
I just kinda
Fly up and sleep myself.
But somehow,
I never wake up to a dead body.
Maybe her talent is luck?
The gods might have blessed this human.
I would not be surprised if it was that insulting god of chaos.
He is nothing but a pain in the ass for everyone involved.
Although, his subjects are often more fanatic, more. Chaotic.
This human does not strike me as fanatic.
Maybe crazy, yes.
But not fanatic.
Wait
Something is coming
…
Ha
Hahaha!
HAHAHAHA!
Look at that!
It’s rat people!
A very interesting race indeed.
Very social and nice
Although no one likes them-

But considering their hideous exterior and a tendency to absolutely swell in numbers, destroying any local fauna in the process.
I can understand why the lower races hate them.
But me. I find them intriguing.
Even after going through several mass extinction events.
They never die out.
Even us Dragons
Once tried to exterminate them
But to no avail.
You have to respect an enemy that will not die.
Anyway, what are they doing here?
I have never heard of rat people populating forests.
Though, that never stopped them from populating deserts, nor oceans.
Even I, have a hard time understanding that one.
Hmmmm
They are moving towards the human.
Now they are...
Dancing?
Are they seriously dancing around her?
Is this like a mating ritual?
Did rat people not have their own mates to ma-
Hmm, no.
Now they are binding the human
And carrying her away
...
The human promised something interesting
And I have to give it to her
She has not failed to deliver
This is interesting.
Let us see what happens next.

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
