A/n: A request from iiQueenBii. I wasn't able to think of a good outpost or location in the game, so this is placed in nowhere specifically. I apologize beforehand if this was a crappy piece. Love you all!!!

"Please, you must help us!" The man begged, falling to his knees.

"This is quite outlandish behavior for a dragon," Ignis said.

"Yeah, they're usually peaceful unless provoked," Noctis said. "What exactly is happening?"

"That monster keeps terrorizing the town! It won't leave us alone!" The man shouts.

"Has the dragon killed anyone?" Prompto inquired.

"N-No, but-"

"How about destroying anything?" Gladio questioned.

"Um, no..."

Noctis raised a brow. "Then, How is it terrorizing the town?"

"It flies above and taunts us with its fire and roars. The children are scared and we can't stand for this any longer!"

"We're not taking up this hunt until we've proof," Noctis stated. Just then, a loud roar was heard in the distance. The boys turned and saw a dragon heading straight for them.

The beast carried something in its mouth before swooping in and dropping it gently down

The beast carried something in its mouth before swooping in and dropping it gently down. They saw it was a young man it had dropped off. He ran over and latched onto Gladio. "You've gotta kill that damned thing! It almost ate me!"

"But she didn't," Gladio retorts, shoving the man off of him.

"How can you tell it's a 'she'?" Prompto wondered.

"The size," the shield responds.

The dragon landed just past the town limits and roared loudly. A group of townspeople charged out of town with weapons and targeted the beast. The boys ran after the deranged citizens to try and stop them from provoking such a dangerous creature.

"Hey!" Gladio yelled as a man fired a pistol at the dragon, causing her to wail in pain. The royal retinue thought she was going to attack, but she did the opposite. She took steps away from the people and hissed in warning.

While Noctis, Prompto, and Ignis dealt with the townspeople, Gladio gave his full attention to the dragon. She glared down at him, but he didn't back down. He's read countless of books about dragons and how to not provoke them. He stuck a hand out and the beast eyed him curiously. She lowered her head and just as his hand was about to make contact with her beautiful white scales, someone pulled the trigger and fired another round at the dragon. She cried out in pain and jumped away from Gladio before flying away.
