Dragons and Slayers (Sting x Reader)

Chapter 3: Pubs

(Y/N)'s Point of View:

18 years old now and I still have no signs of Glare. I have been picking up side jobs though. Minor things, like farming, and house cleaning. Surprisingly I got a lot of my from this over the years. I was in a nice town and was window shopping, I needed new clothes and a sword wouldn't be too bad. I past this shop dead in my tracks... It had such amazing weapons and nice armor. I looked at the sign above the door. 'Poison Rose' it said with a beautiful red rose. It was a girl warrior's dream! They had combat skirts, chest plates -With boob room!- and weapons bedazzled with glistening jewels. After about an hour going through their things I picked out a new outfit.

I wanted something easy to move in but protective. A little... sexy but still elegant. Something that fits my personality, too. I got a (F/C) under piece, with a sweet heart neck line and thin black specati straps ensuring stability. The top left my sides mainly open besides the 3 thick black straps. A black skirt that went about mid thigh. Then I had a nice (F/C) jacket that went to my ankles. I got new boots too. They were heavy duty combat boots that went a little above my ankles. The jacket had silver shoulder protectors and straps every where but I left it open. I also got a sword holder for my new sword. It was a plan black with silver braced holder. My sword was a double edge long silver blade. It was light but deathly strong. The hilt was black with a (F/C) jewel at the cross. There was a short chain attached at the end of the pommel.

I walked out of the shop adjusting my (F/C) fingerless gloves. I heard a cat call just in front of me. I looked up to see a few men waving and whistling at me. I don't pay attention to them as I shook my head and walked down the street. My stomach growled at me telling me it was empty. I looked around for a restraint or a... Ah ha a pub. I walked inside only to nearly jump out of my skin as a man gets thrown across the room right in front of me. The door slammed behind me catching everyone's attention. I blinked a few times ((awkward...)) then I walked up to the counter. The bar tender was drying off a glass and looked up, "Yes? How may I help you?"

"What you got to eat?" I asked holding my head up with my hand. "Well depends.." He began, "What do you feel like eating?"

"Anything that is eatable and that is counted as food." I replied literally. He handed me a menu. The crowd was dead silent. "I would like a salad, and... a beer would be good." I smiled handing the menu back to him. The crowd behind me went back to business after I ordered. I took a seat on the tall chair next to me as I waited for my meal. A man sat next to me. "Hey" he said coolly. "Hi" I said looking up at him into his eyes. He had slit animal like eyes like mine. I never saw that before so I grabbed his chin and examined them. I started to take notes almost in my head, Big. Dark blue. Animal like. Then I was pulled out of thought when the man said "Uh..." in confusion.

I let go of his face slowly and looked away as my face started to grow warmer, "Sorry... I just never saw anyone -but me- with slit eyes like that." The man just chuckled, "Your eyes aren't like mine though."

I looked back at him, "Mine dilate differently I guess."

"Guess so." The man said, "I'm Sting Eucliffe by the way." He held out his hand.

"I'm (Y/N)" I smiled and shook his hand. "Don't you have a last name?" Sting asked. I shook my head, "I probably do, but I never got a chance to learn it."

"What do you mean?" Sting asked.

"Well Glare -my foster mom- says she found me in the woods when I was a baby. My parents were murdered by rouge dragons and well... on the blanket I was wrapped in had my first name sewn into it and... well that was it." I explained. The bar tender dropped off my food and I paid him.

Sting didn't take his eyes off me, "I'm sorry to hear that. This is why I'm a Dragon Slayer. So that people don't have to feel that kind of pain or loss."

I laughed, "No way. You're a Dragon Slayer?" He just nodded, "Yeah..."

I laughed even more, "I am too."

"How many dragons have you killed?" He asked serious.

"Zero. Not all dragons are mean. Glare wasn't." I smiled and took a swig of my beer... I immediately spat it out. "Not too fond of beer?" He chuckled.

I shook my head and took a bit of the salad trying to get rid of the awful taste of the bitter beer. The chuckle from Sting turned into a laugh. "What's so funny?" I asked, my face burning.

"You're cute. That's all." he replied, "like... I can't quite explain."

I huffed, "gee thanks Mr. Eucliffe."

"What's up with the formality?" He asked ruffling my hair.

"I was taught to respect my elders." I said taking another bite of my salad.

"I'm only 19, (Y/N)..." Sting said scowling. "Cool, I'm 18 as of...." I paused and looked up straight thinking. "Don't tell me you don't know your birthday." Sting chuckled.

I slowly sank into my seat embarrassed, "Uh... well... I'm 18 years old and some odd days, weeks, months...." Sting just cracked up, "Oh man. I like you. You're funny." I joined in, "Thanks, I like you too. You seem cool."

He smiled and put an arm around me. His face was next to mine. I could feel his hot breath on the side of my neck. He whispered, "Do you want to join my guild?" I thought for a moment, "That depends..."

"On what?" He said having his chin rest on my shoulder pad.

"What kind of guild and the purpose." I smiled looking at him.

He filled me in on about his guild. He's the master of the guild called Sabertooth. There are several tens of members and they are one of the strongest guilds in the land. It is a legal guild meaning the Magical Council approves/appointed them. I thought, well if they have been appointed by the council they must be good. "Okay..." I thought and looked into his eyes half smiling, "I'll join."
