Careful, I Might Burn You [ Pitaya x Knight ]

Back to the kingdom

Back in Dragon city, the group that had planned the raid the previous day was now helping the other inhabitants of the town, along with Wildberry they were helping to move debris and clear some areas so that people could spend the night.

Upon reaching the edge of the town Hollyberry stopped Pitaya
-You better wait here a moment, I'm going to explain to everyone what happened and then I'll came back for you-
-Oh right, it will attract a lot of attention now that they does look like a dragon-
Tarte Tatin said turning to Pitaya, they had their usual armor and all their dragon features were more visible than before, their wings, tail and horns would scare most, especially after being attacked by a dragon.
-Okay-
Pitaya stood still as Tarte Tatin began to walk

-Is something wrong Hollyberry?-
Tarte Tatin asked when she saw that Hollyberry stayed next to the dragon.
-I'm thinking about what to say, how did you explain that we brought the red dragon to their town?-
The whole way back she thought about what to say but none of the things she thought of seemed right.
-Mmh, good question, I would take it very badly if I hadn't gone with you for the lava dragon-
Tarte Tatin returned to them
The silence of both warriors was interrupted by a gasp from Pitaya.
-What happened?-
Hollyberry asked, scared.
-The Mala Sauce Tribe!-
Pitaya said before running away.
-I'll be back later!-
They shouted before getting too far away from them.
-Don’t take too long!-
Hollyberry shouted before Pitaya left completely.

-Mmph you won't have to worry about what to say anymore-
Tarte Tatin said, starting to walk again, Snapdragon, who had gotten into the warrior's coat and was resting there for the rest of the trip, only laughed at Pitaya's action.
-And how are you going to explain the little one? It even seems like you got attached-
Hollyberry asked, walking next to her friend.
-As much as I hate having a dragon with me, it may not be so bad to have great power on my side, you have Pitaya and it's going well for you-
-Haha yeah, but raise this little one well, it looks like they will get into trouble very often-
Hollyberry said, caressing the aforementioned
-Bwaa ha ha!-
-If they gets into trouble I'll left them without eating-
Tarte Tatin said seriously
-Buuu baaa!-
Snapdragon complained.

…

Pitaya landed in the middle of the Mala Sauce tribe but there didn't seem to be anyone, it was like a ghost town, which was strange since there was always at least one person outside. It didn't look that destroyed either, it had a few houses in rubble but it looked much better than dragon city.
-Hello!?-
Pitaya shouted to see if they saw or heard anyone but no one responded, even with the natural sound of the valley in the background, the town remained silent, which worried the dragon.

Luckily, the silence only lasted for a few seconds before Mala Sauce's voice was heard.
-You!!-
Mala Sauce screamed and ran from one of the houses to attack the dragon.
-Where the hell were you!? You know what happened!? You have no idea what's happening, do you!?-
Mala Sauce tried to attack them with her weapon but Pitaya dodged all her attempts, until the end when she headbutted them in the stomach.
-Ahk, Sstop!-
Pitaya flew to be out of reach
-Did the lava dragon attack?-
-Of course it attacked us! And where were you? So many years praising the great red dragon and in the end it leaves us alone when another dragon comes to attack us-
Mala Sauce said very upset.

-Hey, I wassS dying, that thing was ssstealing my energy and I had to come and kill it, I almossst died when I killed it-
Pitaya said offended
-They killed the lava dragon!?-
A friend of Mala Sauce left a nearby house
-Yeah, you're welcome by the way-
-Is it really dead? Is there no longer any threat?-
Mala Sauce asked, lowering her weapon.
-Yeah, well, there are monsterss but when I go to eat there won't be so many monsterss-
Pitaya said smiling, just thinking about the meat of the monsters in the valley made their mouth water.
-Hey! The lava dragon is dead!-
Mala Sauce shouted in the direction of the houses and the other inhabitants of the tribe quickly came out. At first they came out slowly while they checked around, but when they saw that there was nothing wrong they came out faster, filling the tribe with life and sound again.
