After leaving that group of Airheads, Scarlet went to a nearby stream that was far enough for her to be comfortable with all that Dragon War business. Making a Fire, Scarlet started to clean and prepare the food for her new Little Fuzzball.
Just as things were starting to come together, Scarlet was just about to start feeding him when there was a loud commotion coming from behind her.
Scarlet had just turned, she saw Two dragons rolling out of the forest, and were entangled together in a ferocious battle with each other. What they were fighting over she didn’t know or care, but since she had a baby now, she needed to keep him away from all that.
Since she needed to keep him safe, she grabbed her stuff and was about to get out of the area. When yet, Another Dragon came flying down out of the sky landing right in front of her.
Scarlet stopped, because she didn’t have many places that she could go. Since she was now a Mother, she needed to make sure that her baby was safe and decided that waiting it out would be the better choice. The One that stopped in front of her changed into his Human form and commanded the other Two to stop. He then turned back to Scarlet, who had curiosity written all over her face.
Not being sure of what he wanted; Scarlet knew from his Energy that he was non-threatening to her for the moment. When he looked at her, though, it made her feel extremely creeped out.
He said, “Don’t be scared Little Female, they are just on edge and will not do any harm to You or Your Young.” Scarlet scoffed and replied, “I’m not scared. I just don’t want those Airheads near my Pup who is currently going hungry, because of all of you delaying his feeding.”
This surprised the Young Dragon Leader, and he watched as Scarlet went back to where she was and continued to care for her Pup. He became confused when he didn’t see her take her top off, but instead pulled something out of her bag that he didn’t recognize.
Curious, he went over and said, “What is that? I thought that you said that you were going to feed your Pup?”
Giving him a dull irritated look, she said “I am feeding my baby, as you can clearly see. So, stop bugging me and go deal with your own business.” With that said, he told the Two that were fighting to settle down and go back to camp.
As they began to head back, the Young Dragon Leader then looked back at Scarlet and said, “I took care of my people, now tell me what that is?”
Scarlet couldn’t believe this guy. She thought to herself, “He won’t just go away, and now he is not only bugging me, but making me sick because of his Potent Stench.”
Glaring at him, she gave a sharp reply, “You are making me sick with your stench! When was the last time that you bathed?”
Finishing her statement by waving her hand in front of her face to exaggerate what she was saying, she continued, “Males like you are useless to me, and you’re now not only bugging me but making me sick to my stomach. Just go away, so I can feed my Pup in peace and be on my way.”
He just smiled at her and walked into the Water to wash himself off.
It didn’t take long for him to think that he was clean enough and walked out trying to make sure he showed off his whole body. Being at Seven-two, there was a lot to show.
Since he came here in his Dragon Form and changed once he arrived, that meant he had no clothes on. Thinking that his body was impressive enough to get Scarlet’s attention, he went over to sit down as close to Scarlet as he could.
The action had the opposite effect though and Scarlet sat there thinking to herself, “This has got to be the most annoying thing he has done so far.”
He said, “My name is Josh; I am the Second Leader of the Dark Rock Dragon Clan. I would LOVE to be Your Male. I am Young, Strong, and Capable. What do you say to that? Will you be My Female?” He emphasized the word love to make himself seem less snooty, and more genuine.
Yet, all he did was make Scarlet think, “Wow, this is One stupid Male.”
Scarlet didn’t hesitate to look at him as she replied with a short but firm “NO”, then put the bottle down to burp the baby, then continued the feeding. She did all this while ignoring Young Chef Josh, but this didn’t seem to deter him.
In fact, he looked at her like she was going to be a Great Conquest and continued to try and get her attention.
When she was about at the end of her rope, there was a sudden noise coming from the Forest behind them. A Young Scrawny Male came running out covered in a Strange Flower that looked like a Rare Plant that held a Huge Number of Medical Properties.
He ran over and said, “Young Chef Josh, we have an issue. We need you back at camp immediately.”
It was only after he finished speaking that he noticed that Scarlet was sitting next to him. Bowing his head and said, “Young Chef Mate a Thousand apologies. I did not mean to interrupt.”
His actions made the Young Chef furious with him for speaking directly to His Female. He was about to make his anger known and show him why he was called the ‘Young Chef’ when Scarlet walked up to the Young Scrawny Male and asked, “Where did you find this plant?”
This act shocked both Males and the newcomer said, “This is the problem that I came to get the Young Chef for, Young Chef Mate.” Bowing his head, he continued “It’s attacking anyone that goes near it, and it is covering the entrance to the cave we need to get into.”
Again, Young Chef Josh was not happy about this Weakling talking to Scarlet but kept it in, because she was interested in something that he could give her.
So, Young Chef Josh took a commanding tone and said, “Show us what the issue is now.”
The Young Male led the way. It turned out that it was not far from where they were. So, the trip did not take long for them to reach their camp.
That was not the issue though.
