Hunting a Dragon

23

"So, Draal's not allowed back at Trollmarket because you sparred him?" Y/n asked as You, Jim and Toby walked back to his and Toby's house. "Pretty much, wouldn't be surprised if he tried to kill me to regain his honor and go back home." Jim pointed out, you looked to the ground in thought. If that were true, why didn't he try to when Jim saved him from falling into Lava?  You were brought back to reality when Toby yelled goodbye to everyone as he went towards his house. "Oh, bye Toby!" You yelled back and waved to him, leaving you and Jim alone in the street. Jim sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, causing you to look at him in confusion. "I'm guessing you found your letter, my mom and Claire probably found theirs too." Jim said as you looked at you nervously. "Oh, yeah. I didn't read the whole thing because I only read a small bit of it at lunch." Y/n said as Jim sighed once again and began to walk back to his house. "Alright, good night, Y/n." He said and waved back lazily, leaving you alone.

That's it?

Just walk away from the fact that something massive happen and act like it was an average teenage day for an average teenager? Y/n would've yelled for him to come back, but he already closed his door. Y/n groaned in anger and fumed silently until she heard something, causing Y/n to look up and her eyes went wide. Inside of Jim's living room, was Nomura. You reacted quickly because you also saw Jim's mom in the living room, pouring herself a cup of tea as Y/n quickly dashed to Jim's porch. Y/n ducked under the window and took deep breathes to remain calm as you  This had to be the worst possible time for Nomura to pop up, Y/n sighed and began to look around, noticing that no one was around. You took a deep breath and slowly army crawled to the back of Jim's house.

"Okay, she really just won't learn. Jim could easily beat her. Jim beat Draal like it was nothing!" You mumbled under your breath, only to be interrupted when you heard a loud crash of pans and pots from inside. "It's fine, Jim fine!" You tried to reason with yourself, but even you knew Nomura wasn't like Draal. Once you made it to behind the house, Y/n peaked through the back door's window, cursing under your breath upon not seeing Normura either. "Fleshing?" Someone said in a gruff voice, causing you to yelp and turn around. It surprised Y/n that someone was behind her, but it surprised her even more as to who was behind her.

"Draal? What are you doing here?" You said as he stood with balled hands. "Wait, you're not here to kill Jim, are you?" You said with narrowed eyes, Draal rolled his eyes at the accusation. "No! I sensed the Troll-Hunter was in danger and came as fast as he could." Draal said as he shoved Y/n's out the way and looked through the small door. "Well duh! Nomura's here and-"

Upon hearing the Changeling's name, Draal dust open the door and ran into the house. Y/n ran after him and saw him run upstairs, Y/n looked into the kitchen and gasped, Jim's mom laid on the table unconscious. Y/n ran to Barabra and tried to move her away from the table, suddenly hearing loud grunted and crashing from upstairs. Y/n tried with all her might to move Barabra out from the table as she watched Nomura and Draal come fighting down from the stairs and going through the front door. Y/n set Barabra against a wall and ran out, watching with shocked eyes as Nomura and Draal fought in the front yard.

"What the-" Y/n attempted to say but the two then jumped onto the roof and continued their fighting in the back yard. Y/n ran after them and slammed open the front door. "Y/n?" Jim said from behind you, you turned and smiled nervously. "Uh, hey Jim." You said, both turning back and saw Nomura coming straight at you both. Jim got in front of you and held his sword to protect you both, but Draal beat him to the punch by using his body to block Nomura's attack and push her away from you both.

Once Nomura landed, she narrowed her eyes at Draal. "What are you doing here?!" Nomura yelled in her raspy voice. "Delivering you pain again, Nomura." Draal growled, catching both you and Jim by surprise. Draal knew Nomura? Your thoughts were cut short when Draal demanded Nomura to not touch Jim. "Suddenly you're honorable? Sorry to hear about daddy." Nomura taunted as she moved her boiling blades to clank against her teeth. "Bular always liked the way he screamed." Nomura said and chuckled a little. Draal, angered by the way Nomura spoke so disrespectfully of his father, charged at Nomura and attempted to land hits on Nomura. But Nomura was easily about to jump or dodge his attacks.
