My buisness is none of your concern, cookie.
I go where I please, in search of a thrilling battle, or anything else exciting for that matter.
[ The dragon picks their teeth, not even afraid of the men pointing weapons. ]
IMAGINE following dark enchantress cookie haHAH!
It’s laughable, no wonder he got a worse. Hopefully I’m not next on the line, not that the red dragon would stand a CHANCE against me!~
⠀
⠀[ The dragon flew off, having taken their more true form. ]
Such a stoic figure. And yet, I cannot help but feel a ssssadness within.
. . .No matter. Perhapssss I will find someone else who may spar with me.
⠀
⠀
⠀The spicelandssss, you say?
[ They had not considered going there. Perhaps it will be their next destination. ]
I suppose I could check it out. Perhaps my next opponent sssshall await me.
I shall leave you to your buisssness, sun knight.
Do take care.
⠀
⠀
⠀mmm.. a thrill seeker, aren't you?
⠀[ sheathing her blade. ]
⠀there's no place for such reckless abandon on this side of beast-yeast, dragon. i would suggest you either make for the spicelands or depart entirely.
⠀
⠀
⠀I suppose not, but you cannot blame me for being curioussss.
[ They followed her out of the cave, doing a big stretch. ]
It can be rather boring out in this world, and seeing what you cookies get up to is always interesssting.
⠀
⠀
⠀'tis none of thy concern.
⠀[ a rather matter-of-fact response. seems she isn't one for long conversation. ]
⠀[ they push past pitaya and go to regroup with their army. ]
⠀
⠀
⠀That being ssssssaid, what brings you all the way out here with those ssssssoilders?
I saw signssss of battle nearby, so I assumed there wassss trouble.
⠀
⠀
⠀[ The dragon looked almost stunned, realizing their disguise did not work so well on the beast. ]
I sssssupose I should have expected you to be smart enough to detect me, sun knight.
⠀
⠀
⠀[ The dragon smiled within the cave, both at the knight and the skull in her hand. ]
My, it seems as if you beat me to the hunt!
[ It was hard to make out their face, due to the darkness. But they hoped their disguise worked. ]
⠀
⠀
⠀[ there's the sound of a struggle before a wave of fire blasts out past pitaya. the knight emerges from deeper in the cave, holding the skull of some kind of horned beast. ]
⠀
⠀
⠀. . .Hmm.
[ They land somewhere just outside the cave entrance, away from the eyes of the other knights. ]
[ They put on a more convincing disguise, and slip by to follow the knight into the dark cave, undetected. ]
⠀
⠀
⠀[ the soldiers seem to follow the trail of the creature to a dark cave. they part in unison to allow the knight to the front. ]
⠀.. mm. stay put. i'll finish this.
⠀[ she ventures into the cave, and all goes deathly silent. ]
⠀
⠀
⠀[ Taking flight, the dragon decided to follow them. ]
[ It was not often that they chose to do something like this out of pure interest, but they kept their distance. ]
⠀
⠀
⠀[ the wandering party of armored soldiers doesn't seem to pay the dragon any mind. the tallest knight near the front, undeniably their commander, checks a map and points the soldiers in the direction the creature ran off to. ]
⠀
⠀
⠀[ Amongst the aftermath was the red dragon, who was observing the area. ]
[ There was a deep melancholy in their eyes, their tail thumping against the floor. ]
⠀
⠀
⠀[ the knight wanders the aftermath of a recent battle in the flatland, trailed by a mix of her ghostly leigons and faerie knights. ]
⠀[ seems whatever they were defending the area from ran off into the nearby marshland. ]

Smth abt how in Ovenbreak, Longan’s manipulation tells us that freedom is something Pitaya values deeply. And in Kingdom, Pitaya’s access to true freedom and control over oneself is constantly violated and stripped away…. haha…
