Squircle sighed. "There goes a nice leisurely walk." He took out his pocket knife, and a staff he kept hidden away. He somewhat understood what the Deku was saying.
We fight. Together.
He could do that. That was one of the few things he could do.
People assume Dragons don't like humans, or 'mortals'. That is flawed. Every Dragon is trained to learn how humans think, work, and talk. They are taught how to stay in human form near other humans, as humans like that. And they are always taught how to defend themselves without magic. Squircle was trained in martial arts, but he had some good knife and staff skills.
Squircle hated being in human form, but Squircle would survive. And he would make sure everyone else did too.
Squricle ran forwards with the strange creature who was slowly becoming his companion, and fought off the animals coming at them.
As he fought with his knife, staff, and fists, he thought about the words of the great fairy once more. She mentioned a temporal anomaly. This anomaly seems to have been centered around this town, this route. This time frame. But where will it go? And how strong was the temporal anomaly that it was able to reach into another world with the Fountain of Time? Me being here alone is a big enough temporal anomaly... for it to be a mere after-affect... He thought for a few moments. I might need to memorize this day, and all that happened, so I could remember any suprises. Who knows, maybe there will be a next time.
