The Transient's Detail
Chapter 21: 20: Quickly
Previous Chapter Next ChapterCan't write much.
Currently ducked behind an overturned table after being disarmed. My crossbow is nothing more than ashes right now..
I found Dog-Ears Pink.
Followed his trail after receiving another letter today: Sugarlump lead me right to him.
Currently in the Library. Twilight has gone away for some reason. No time to ponder it.
Confronted Dog-Ears Pink. He's the dragon, the purple one with the green spines. Told me that I was making moves on his lady and that I had better stop if I knew what was good for me. Told him that I would not be threatened by a child and planned to tell his caretaker.
He has fire breath and tried to singe me. I responded by brandishing my crossbow to intimidate him. That didn't work because he has a slingshot. Can't see through one of my eyes now after taking a hit to it and the crossbow was caught in the dragon fire, so now it's gone.
He currently has me pinned down behind the table I overturned for cover. I can hear him telling me to come out and face him like a man. He knows I have the advantage: That I'd grab him by the tail and swing him like a flail if he comes around my cover, but I can't stand up without taking more fire (projectile or literal).
Negotiation has failed. He says this is now a matter of honor. Apparently believes himself to be a champion fighting for her. Cannot get across the point that I don't want her. This only made him mad that I was insulting her. There is no winning with my words here.
Please, Twilight, get back soon. I don’t know how long I can duck behind this table and expect him not to come up with a plan to smoke me out.
