Chapter 9: Imprisoned Dragon
"Damn, I am in trouble," she said, about to turn a wh its growling became more loud, sding shivers up her spine.
"You, how long have you be wandering a in my cave?" it asked sternly as she turned to face him.
"I- I don't know," she stammered, and the dragon sighed.
"You have be in here for more than a day, you are noisy," it said in a loud tone, causing her to jump.
"I'm so sorry; I'll leave right now," she said.
"Wait, you're differt; how did you get into this cave?" it inquired, and she looked at it with interest.
"A door," she replied.
"The iron door?" it inquired, and she nodded.
"I see, it's be cturies since that door appeared," It said.
"Huh? Cturies?" She mumbled and the dragon lowered its head.
"Yes, it's how long I have be here, are you afraid of me?" It asked.
"Sort of," she replied, and it laughed loudly ough that the cave shook and Nessa held onto the all beside her.
"Is it worth fearing that dragon in its currt state, Miss Notice?" She inquired.

"Nope, it cannot be brok by him, it's a he," The system replied and Nessa sighed as she slowly got closer to the dragon.
"Um... How come no one else could find the door?" Nessa asked.
"Because of them are strong ough or worthy of oping that door, I suppose I should be happy to see you, but I guess you believe I am an evil dragon that needs to be destroyed as well, don't look down on me," He yelled, and she flinched in fear.
"I won't ev think about looking down on you," She said, her eyes widing as he stared at her, and the cave began to glow along with the crystals.
"The ergy I've be ssing is yours, and it's calming," She said.
"Of course, it is," He replied.
"I took things created by your ergy, or more accurately, your life force; is there anything I can do to repay you?" She inquired.
"Wait a minute, your life force, are you dying?" She asked and it chuckled.
"Wh- What's so funny?" She yelled and it burst out laughing as she smiled nervously.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you don't ev know who I am or what I did to be imprisoned here, yet you are concerned, you are one strange being," He said, and she pouted.
"Whatever, I am leaving, I am going to break that door down if I have to," She replied.
"Wait," he said, and she came to a halt, th turned to face him as he turned away pouting and his scales were glowing a bit.
'A dragon is pouting; this is getting weirder by the minute,' she thought.
"What do you want?" she inquired.
"Tell me where you're from. You are obviously not from here, nor are you a monster; you are simply powerful, an otherworlder." She smiled slightly as he responded.
"Otherworlder, yeah, I think I understand what you mean; I came from a more modern world, Japan, and it's nice there except I didn't have much of a life; why were you imprisoned here?" She inquired.
"You can say I got into a fight and was blamed for killing a ton of people, but I don't really care because I know I didn't mean to kill anyone, I was sealed here by someone as strong as me and believe that I don't belong in the world, that I am a monster worse than the others."
"As a result, my name spread throughout the world, instilling fear, but this land you are in is my home; I was sealed here a two hundred and thirty years ago, and my being sealed here brings protection, to certain monsters, but now things are falling apart," He said and she lowered her head.
"I'm sorry, being here alone for so long, no one deserves that punishmt," she said as he looked at her with puppy eyes and she pouted, feeling strange but sorry for the dragon.
"I understand what you're going through; would you like to be my frid? I don't care what you have done in the past "She said and the dragon left staring at her.
"Are you serious? You want me to be your frid? Are you certain? Being frids with me will not be beficial to you, but you should be grateful that you had the opportunity to meet me," He stated.
"What's with the smug expression? In a momt, I will withdraw my offer." She threated, and the dragon reached out to touch her, but the chains a him shocked him, and her eyes wided as the chains squeezed him and he roared in pain as they released small bolts of lightning.
"Hey," She called out.
"Don't worry, it's happed before, it's just to make sure I stay put," He replied.
"That's torture," She remarked.
"I am a monster, and things are a little differt for monsters, despite the fact that some of them have human frids or go shopping peacefully in a place with humans, but if we do something wrong," He said, and she gnashed her teeth.
"How am I going to get out of here?" She inquired.
"You saw the door because you were probably destined to meet me, kill, I don't know but... Maybe with ough pressure, force, you will be able to op it or ev I was with you, if it ssed my presce, the door is mixed with my magic, it will op for me," He replied, and she grinned.
"Miss notice, scan the seal and tell me how to break it," she instructed.
"Got it," said the system.
[Seal is being scanned.]
[Completed scan.]
[The possibility of breaking the seal is fifty perct, but there is a big risk.]
"What risk?" Nessa questioned.
"His body will sustain serious damage, weaking him; he will take a long time to heal, and you will be unable to carry him a," Nessa sighed upon hearing the system's answer.
