Dragon Warrior

Remember How I Said Magic?

"Hello again David." The god said leaning against a tree. I was shocked to meet the god once more "What are you doing here?" I asked him with Thane still growling beside me. He looked at Thane and chuckled "Seems like you've made a friend." I looked down at Thane and back to him while nodding.

He looked around and turned back to me "Would you mind if we... talked somewhere else?" I was a little confused at the request but shrugged it off "Sure, we can go to the house if you'd like." He shook his head "No, I think I have a better place." He said with a glint in his eye. I was about to ask him what he meant until he snapped his fingers and we were enveloped in a flash of light. The familiar dissipating feeling went through my body.

My eyes blinked a couple of times and we were inside of a house. It looked like hunting lodge with animals mounted on the walls and a fireplace. The god jumped onto the couch and put his hands behind his head. I looked around confused and looked weirdly at the god lying on the couch "So uh... what is with the hunting lodge theme?" I asked confused.

He shrugged and sat up straight "This... is where I go to get away." I was still confused "Soo... what are we doing here?" I asked only getting more confused. As if all of the amusement came out of him he sat up straight and clasped his hands together "We're here to talk about why you are... well here."

I pulled up a wooden chair and sat down listening "You are here because I need a protector." I raised my eye "I don't think I'm exactly fit to protect a god." He waved his hands and shook his head "No not me, I need you to protect something... a little bigger." At this point I was getting annoyed with the riddles.

"Ok and what the might that be?" He gestured to Thane "Have you ever seen a night fury before?" I shook my head "Well ya, but it was in a movie." He nodded "Exactly, this in itself is an entire network of universes. Your job is to protect it." I laughed for a few seconds until I saw the serious look.

"You can't be serious. First off why would you choose me and second, what do you mean by network of universes?" He took a deep breath before leaning towards me "I chose you because I saw all of the qualities of a protector and you have a likeable personality." I put my hands up "You couldn't choose...... like a veteran or someone who knows what they're doing?" He smiled "You've already build a name for yourself with your current skill, dragon warrior."

"Dragon warrior? Where did that come from?" I asked confused "That was the name given to you by those you warded off today. I was watching and I do have to say, you are an amazing warrior, better than I hoped." I wasn't sure if I should take the compliment or question him further.

"As for your other question, have you ever read a book or watched a movie?" I nodded my head "Well, all of those universes exist. Any story is real, just not where you exist." I grabbed my head trying to comprehend the info and not really fully believing it "Along with those universes there are side branches consisting of, how do I put it... fanfictions I guess you could call them."

I was happy that I was sitting because my head was starting to spin "You're not kidding are you?" I asked hoping he was joking. He shook his head "I may be a trickster but it's true and to be honest even as a god I still don't fully understand how it works. I don't think anyone really does."

"Soo, what exactly and I protecting the universe from?" I asked still trying to grasp this concept. He started to fidget with his hands "That, is a long story." I gestured around us "Well I'm not going anywhere." He nodded and took a breath.

"I assume that you have heard of Thor and Odin before right?" I nodded my head and he continued "Well while fighting in a battle against the fire giants Odin was injured causing him to go into a coma. Thor is next in line if Odin was to go down so he is now controlling Asgard."
