How Dan and Pedro met (Part 3)

"Why are you following me?" Dan asked as he walked around the village. He stopped at the river bank.

"I can not go back inside, I have to wait for the grown ups to finish their talks before entering."

Dan picked up a rock and made it skid on the water hitting it 13 times.

"I seem to have forgotten about the part where that's my problem, that does not give you the right to annoy me nor do I have to entertain your nonsense."

"Do you understand the reason why we even came here today?" Pedro asked.

"No... but if I had to take a guess, it would be to pamper your ego and feel better about yourself in order to cope with the little trouble in paradise your having." Dan said. He threw another rock making it skip 14 times.

"No, we came here to give you a job, do you understand how limited your options are as a human in a demon country. You would be lucky to even get a job at a stable, Do you not understand the opportunity you are being given?" Pedro asked in an irritated voice. He was scowling at Dan who did not seem to be paying attention.

"An opportunity? Doing what? Being your servant, having to endure your tantrums. Hmm... I guess I should be thankful for this opportun- OH 17 SKIPS A NEW RECORD!" Dan shouted triumphantly.

"I can do that!"

"Do it then!" Pedro picked up a pebble and threw it into the river.

SPLAAASHH!

It fell down and sank to the bottom.

"....."

"....."

"That was terrible! Look you do it like this." For a few minutes the two seemed to have set their differences aside as they enjoyed themselves.

Dan started walking again and Pedro followed him. "Hey that was fun, do you have other things like that to do?"

"Of course I do, but it's not for you!"

"What... What do you mean it's not for me?"

"Well, we play make believe in the forest as two different armies trying to conquer the other. Usually it is really violent, I'm pretty sure you would not even be able to enter the forest let alone fight with us."

Pedro stopped for a second before continuing to walk. "You guys are barbaric, but I can fight."

Dan sighed and stood before Pedro. He curled his hand into a fist and held it out in front of Pedro.

"Curl your hand into a fist." he said. Pedro did as he was told. He curled his hand into a fist and put it next to Dan's. The difference between the two fists was immense. Pedro's hand was soft and plump free of any blemishes of any kind while Dan's on the other hand, not so much.

(Authors note: See what I did there?"

His fist was like that of an adult. Hard and coarse like he had been toiling land. Pedro could see his veins throbbing. His bones were as hard as rock. His veins went all the way to his elbows bulging out of his skin.

"Do you think you can throw a punch with hands like that? Do you think you can withstand a punch from a fist like this?" Dan asked.

The expression on Pedro's face was that of exasperation. "I can do magic though."

"I don't care, leave me alone." Dan said as he flicked his hands away like he was shooing him away like a bird.

Back to the present...

Dan woke up due to the heavy vibrations he felt on the ground. He opened his eyes and looked around only to see Charlie in his dragon form. The gigantic flower in his mouth. To be honest it looked more like a very thick oak tree but it was still a flower. Charlie spat it out and threw it to the side.

He morphed back into his humanoid form. Dan smiled as he thought of the progress Charlie had made. When he had met him nearly 5 months ago he could barely stand up and was weak, but now he looked... he looked like a man. He had wide shoulders, strong forearms like Dan and a near symmetrical lean body. His body shape looked nearly similar to Dan's. If compared side by side then it was easy to see which body looked better.

Dan took a pair of pants and shirt from his inventory and gave it to the naked Charlie. Him transforming had destroyed his clothes.

"It took you 2 whole hours to kill a stationary object. Sigh... how disappointing!"

"It may be stationary but it had a great defensive system."

"Excuses! I don't care either way, this is your training, I have not seen any progress since we have started beating on this flower. It took you 2 hours on your first try and it still took you 2 hours to defeat it." Dan stood up and stretched himself. He felt his back and joints cracking.

"Let's go, we're leaving this abyss tommorow morning."

Charlie was surprised. In his eyes it seemed like Dan was actually enjoying his stay and did not want to leave. He happily walked next to Dan on their way back to the village.

It took them 2 hours as Dan was walking slowly and did not seem to be in a hurry. He yawned as he walked slowly.

When they reached the small village Dan recieved a little surprise.
