Bandit Chief POV
Ha. The village is ours. We had so much money now.
"Kill them all!"
I couldn't help but laugh. No one could save them. The knights were too selfish, and the other villages were too scared of us.
Just to think, a few days ago, we were worried about starving.
"Mam, please spare us."
The village leader looked at me in a pleading look.
"Why should I do that? You could give me something."
The old man wasn't that appealing, but I could help myself to his son. Upon seeing my look, they both cringed.
"You're disgusting!"
The son yelled. He was angry at me for burning his village.
"Oh, please. You weren't giving us food, why should I spare you?"
"We offered a discount even; you wanted us to give it to you for free. We need that money to live."
"Well now you won't live."
All of the sudden the screaming got louder. I turned and saw some of my men pointing at the sky.
"D-d-dragon!"
Oh crap. Screw the village I need to get out of he-

I crushed the leader and Royce leapt off of my back and started cutting down bandits. I also covered him and slashed some in half. As the bandits started to flee, I charged forward and burnt them to a crisp.
After the village was safe, the villagers looked at me in fear.
"Sir Royce? What are you doing here? Why is there a dragon?"
"I was returning from Calesen, when I saw the bandits."
"So, the dragon..."
Royce began to struggle for an excuse, but then.
"Sir Royce tamed a dragon! Incredible."
... What?
"Huh? No-"
"We must spread the word. Royce Dragon Tamer, thank you so much for you and your pet dragon!"
"Bu-"
"Take this, I hope it's enough to compensate."
"I don't need money."
"Ah, how noble. We thank you again for your great service to us."
Then they left, singing Royce's praises. He looked at me with a look that said, 'the heck just happened.'
"Let's just go."
I agreed and let him back onto my back. We flew and the people were whooping.
"I'm just worried about what everyone else will think."
I laughed.
"Mammon and my siblings will think it's hilarious."
"The king will be annoyed but accept it."
"Jalad and Dallel..."
"They'll kill me."
"Yep."

When we got closer to the gate I landed in a forest and shifted back into my catkin form.
We approached the gate and the gate guard said,
