Fire / Jungle


Jumping as Gerold pulled his foot back from a patch of grass he just stepped on, he never knew a fiery jungle existed, and he was sure he would have been better off not knowing they did. He had come from a world where this wasn’t all that plausible, but in chronoscape he supposed that sort of logic went out the window when the worlds would rip open and dump things and creatures from other worlds into it. Even he did the same, though he also went back in time as far as he knew as well.

“Gerold, this leaf with a face is teasing me...” Whining at hsi rider, Gerold was standing on one of the rocks, looking down at a small pit of fire that would hurt but with his tough skin he figured he could run through, but there was the small slime just dancing around with it's’ fireproof leaf, taunting the dragon who wouldn’t hop down to get him.

“Blow some bubbles at it, I’m a bit caught up not stepping in some fire myself... What sadistic mother nature thought this was a good idea?” He huffed, taking a tentative step forward.


Leaping easily through the fires, Seros didn't mind the flames licking at his clawed toes. The fiery jungle was actually just in his element as he hunted down the fiercely angry slime that had escaped him just a moment ago. Something that was largely due to the effeminately dressed rider on their back. The other having fallen at just the wrong time from the tree tops, screeching and making him dash over to catch the damsel.

They were quite apologetic, going into detail about how they had just stumbled through a portal into the area to find themselves lost in fog. Then the next thing they knew, there they were, falling through the ground where Seros had rescued them. Telling the other it was fine, he'd get them out of the dangerous location, but only after he caught the slime they had scared off.

Agreeing without a fight, the beautifully dressed rider clung to their new noble steed, chasing the fiery slime through the forest now. Not paying much mind as he nearly had it snatched up in his jaws now.


Lowering his body down as he stared at the slime that taunted him, as the red leaf wearing slime blew a raspberry, the earth dragon huffed, blowing a steady stream of bubbles at the slime that fell back and looked so distraught having a taste of their own slightly-too-cruel-to-be-fun medicine.

“The leaf no longer taunts me, Gerold!”

“I’m proud, please pick it up now.” Making his way over, hopping over an area still set ablaze, he turned to the sound of screeching before letting out a loud whistle to call back the fire cat that he was watching for a strange forest spirit. As he saw his snatch up the fire blub he cooed such sweet words of how he was a wonderful dragon, that deserved the praise, holding open the bag for the feline to drop it in before he sighed, just wishing this slime madness would be done already. He was curious where the person that was previously on the dragon’s back was off to, but he decided it was best not to question it.


Finally scooping the blazing slime up, the feeling of it in his mouth wasn't something Seros was very interested in feeling for long. Already on his way back towards Gerold before they needed to call, he blinked his three eyes up at the rider that patted his neck. Pausing for a moment, he wasn't sure what they wanted at first, so tried to continue, but he finally heard the soft voice asking to be let off before they went on. Making questioning noises, he shook his head, wanting to see them out of the chronoscape himself, but when he attempted to move forward again, he felt them start to slide off his back on their own.

Not wanting them to simply fall to the ground while he was moving, he gave in, letting the other go off on their own, soon disappearing back into the fog of the mysterious beyond. Sighing, he hurried to Gerold, dropping the slime in before he ran off again. The fire dragon had a sense of duty he wanted to fulfill to the strange rider, if he was fast enough, perhaps he could catch up to them before they vanished completely.
