Honestly, Fonaar didn't know why he had to stay behind in the forest while the one known as Romeo and the older human female went on into the human settlement. Even worse he didn't know why it frustrated him that Romeo left him behind. Ever since the boy touched his wound and heal it, he felt the compulsive need to be around the boy, even though it was annoying him to no end.

With his draconic sight he could easily see Romeo and the older female walk through the settlement and into the towering building at the end and with his draconic hearing he could faintly pick up the sounds of a battle erupting from within it and it actually bother him a little bit, especially after seeing the older female dodge a projectile that came from inside.

Fonaar continues to sit at the edge of the forest and eye the human settlement with mild interest, taking in all of the activity that was going on as the humans went about their day. This wasn't the first time Fonaar has observed a settlement that belonged to men but it was his first time seeing one of this size. If it wasn't for the fact that both Romeo and the elder female made for a unique combination of hair-color he would have had a hard time keeping track of them. Usually, he would have just sniff them out, but all the different smells that the settlement provide was overloading his nostrils.

He focuses on the building that they went into for a time, taking in the structure and wondering what its main purpose was within the settlement. From the dragon's point-of-view, it seemed like the structure was used as a fortress or watchtower of some type seeing how it tower over the rest of the buildings and you could more than likely see for miles in all directions.

Which made the fact that Romeo and the female went in there all the more confusing to Fonaar. Were they part of the garrison station there? Did the building serve another purpose? All these thoughts were plaguing Fonaar's mind when a large ice spike came shooting out the side of the building, followed by a burst of fire coming out the other. Even from a distance, Fonaar could feel the magic behind both of them.

The dragon was already stalking halfway through the tall grass outside of the settlement before he realizes what he was doing. At first, Fonaar was content with just watching until the humans came back, but that burst of magic change his mind and he wanted to investigate the building even closer. While the thought of simply flying over to the building did cross his mind, on a clear day such as this, there was no chance that he could get close to the building without being spotted so he opted for the more stealthily approach.

As he closes the distance between him and the outer edges of the settlement he notices that there weren't any guards patrolling like he seen other villages belonging to non-dragons. To his surprise, he saw that there wasn't even a lookout; were the humans of this community so confident in themselves that they didn't fear attack from an outside source?

Fonaar was just about to enter an alleyway when he realizes that it would probably be best if he wasn't seen by the local populace, his experience in the past has taught him that humans don't take too kindly to dragons walking down their roads. He looks upward at the roof of the building next to him and an idea pop into his head. Leaping upward and embedding his razor sharp claws into the bricks as he landed on the wall, he soon found himself on top of the building, looking toward the fortress. With a powerful leap for his hind legs, he's soaring over the gap between him and the next building, landing with a powerful thump that causes more than a few people on the ground to stop and turn their heads toward the noise. Staying perfectly still, Fonaar waits for a few seconds before hearing the sound of footstep once again. Realizing that he had to be a little quieter about this, he decided that he would "float" his way over to the next roof, using his wings as a way to slow down his descent. It took a few attempts, and some deep scratches on more than one rooftop, but eventually he got all the way to the side of the building that Romeo went into....
