Today's #flashfiction #TheDragonAdventurer

“Peek-a-boo!”
The Lockness Monster* #quote


     Today I went out with family to lunch, and I went to the bookstore plus and am heading over to dinner. It's an active day so hopefully I won't get a whiplash of increased seizures tomorrow. I don't feel too tired so I think it'll be good.

The Dragon Adventurer


      How many human adventurers have found treasures. Gone into great dungeons or castles and surviving traps and perils? Many times these treasures belong to various creatures, monsters or otherwise. Things like dragons. Adventurers could tell tales of how they've either killed dragons or ran past them to collect treasures.
     But there's a world a bit topsy-turvy to all that. One where Roar the dragon adventurer lives. He goes into places that belong to the humans. Well, he can't exactly fight the humans as they are long dead. But their various machines still thrive on auto-pilot, protecting the treasures of their cities as they did while the humans walked.
     Roar told his friends tales of his exploits. A human adventurer may have told someone how they dueled a dragon to the death. He told his dragon friends how he fought a giant robot that humans made for defense to the bitter end. And to prove it he would show the robots motherboard in his clawed hand while holding his sword in the other.
     Dragons and other monsters in this world couldn't exactly make the machines or all the things humans had while they were alive and so they looted the city for their treasures like a human adventurer would in other worlds. During one of his first adventurers into the old human cities Roar came home with a loot of a whole bunch of a calculators all for easy use. Selling them fed him for a long time and paid for his current sword. But no matter how well an adventure goes Roar is cautious, he's heard of adventurers being caught up and dying in the parts of the automated factories...the life of an adventurer is never safe.
