The Adventures of Rose Hood

Chapter 11: The Triumphant Return

I hunted spiders for a day and developed the egg laying skill. Now I could reproduce whenever I was interested in doing so.

"Nice, now if you could find a mate, your offspring would be even stronger."

"No potential mates though."

"Ah, right. Unlike other species, dragons can mate with any humanoids and still develop pure dragons, so all you need is to find a male you like. Just make sure they're ok with reproducing dragons."

"No humanoids would live to my point of childbearing."

"Elves. They live a long time."

I considered Dallel...

'No, can't see him as proper mate.'

"Don't know any I'd be interested in."

"Well, if you mature early, you'd also be able to bear children earlier."

"I guess, but don't like killing."

"No? How many are you on?"

"4."

"Ah, I'm on late 99900s."

"So, close."

"Yep, I was waiting for a massive subjugation group, so I could destroy all of them and mature early."

"Good idea."

"I thought so, but I'll have to act dead for a little bit."

"Sorry."

"Nah, you are good, mythics show up here quickly, and I can handle most of them."

"What if another sibling shows up?"

"Dual dungeon masters!"

"Ooh!"

"Honestly, if you weren't an adventurer, I'd ask you to join me."

"Yeah, I like humanoids. They can be so nice."

"They can, in fact, you aren't the first I let go, when I first got here, I let a few go on a contract to not reveal me. They just said something powerful was there."

"Smart."

"Yep, anyways, try on your gear. I fit it better for dragon combat, as it was crafted for catkin battle."

"Thanks."

"No problem."

"Well, I need to go."

"Be sure to visit!"

"I will. If you're ok with it, I may bring Granny."

"I'd love to meet the woman who helped you."

"Alright, cya."

We waved and I left. It was good to know my sibling was alive and well, and thanks to her help, I developed an ability that allowed me to reproduce when I got older. And if I found a proper mate, they'd be potentially stronger than me.

I got the fang and scales and left the dungeon.

"It's good to see you return."

The same guard was there.

"Was it a powerful mythic?"

I held up the fang and he gasped.

"It was a dragon?! No wonder so many died. Thank you for getting rid of it."

"No problem."

Couldn't say that Thalia was alive and well. They'd investigate me and then send a party strong enough to kill Thalia. Better that they assume the dragon was dead.
