I woke up on my couch, head pounding, no, that wasn't my head, some one was pounding on my front door. opening the door chris waas standing there with a smug look on his face, "morning sleeping beauty, I should sleeping ugly! any way, I got your mail while you were gone, mind if I come in?" I steped to the side allowing him to walk inside, he handed me a bag full of letters. "hey chris, wanna beer?" he nodded as I walked to the fridge, I pulled out two cans and tossed one to him, he almost droped it, I laughed at him. "har har har wise ass! i guess you dont wanna hear about the stranger going after your dragon's reward!" nearling choking on my beer I stared him straight in the face. "who are you talking about?" "Nobody knows who this guy is, he wears a robe and hood all the time, he keeps asking people about the dragon." I felt a deep pain in the bottom of my heart, I knew i had to find this guy or warn drake, but would drake accept me back in his cave? after I left him? "tell me more about this person." "why do you wanna know al?" "just fucking tell me more about this guy!" chris backed up a bit "hey, calm down al, ok? the guy came to me before wanting a map to the cave, I know you wanted the reward, so I gave him one with a longer route to the cave, i got you one with a quick short cut, so you can kill it your self. aight bro?" I looked at him "thanks, Im going to get ready." I grabed my sword, and the new map. at the door I turned and said over my shoulder"and who ever said I wanted to kill that dragon? I'm in love with it, im sorry chris." he placed his hand on my shoulder. "I don't give a fuck man, go, get your dragon." he winked at me, i gave him a hug, and ran out the door, hoping that drake would still love me.
