Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Water and Earth. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own DM, Coolkyoushinja and a few others do.

(Arthur, Sunday, 10:40 PM.)

There was nothing at the moment that escaped the eye of Arthur or Elma's senses. She continued to look around before Arthur dove back down and landed.

"There's no sign of any battle here… No fire, no ashes…" Elma said while Arthur continued to make sure that they weren't spotted before he turned back to the water dwelling dragon and hummed.

"I think we'd best leave and return home then… The longer we stay here, the more humans that we risk seeing us…" Arthur said before he felt his leg shake in pain.

"It's already straining my magic to make sure nobody sees us for a few minutes… I'll meet you back home." He said and flexed his wings before flapping them and throwing himself into the air and then flying back towards his and Elma's home.

Elma watched the Earth Dragon leave before she took a breath of air and dove under the water.

The spell concealing them wore off while both dragons vanished.

(At Arthur's home)

Arthur landed in his backyard while his body changed back to human. He was glad the others were asleep and nobody was near enough to see him.

"I still wonder what a dragon like him was doing here… A Chaos dragon like that on Earth? I don't even want to think about what it could mean for humanity if he's as willing to destroy humanity so easily." He muttered before he heard splashing behind him.

He watched Elma climb out of the water while she walked towards the back gate and vaulted over it before shaking herself off and grabbing a towel.

"Too cold in the lake?" He asked, Elma nodded before walking inside while Arthur followed her.

Arthur turned and fired a small flame from his finger into the fireplace, reheating the firewood and allowing the dragons to relax.

"Thank you for coming with me… I don't think I would have enjoyed myself if I looked alone… Plus it's freezing out and dragon or not, I'm happy to be home and safe in the warmth of my own home." Arthur said, Elma smiled.

"I'm glad you invited me to come…. That massive dragon still bothers me. We know nothing about him and he's stronger than both of us." Elma said, Arthur hummed and moved closer to the fire while Elma went to go and change her clothes… Her scales would have to dry before she could summon fresh clothes.

Arthur waited till Elma came back in her pajamas and sat next to him to speak.

"You know, I think he's going to come back. I've known a lot of dragons, but someone like that? I doubt he's happy to just fight us and call it a day… He left because both of us alone were a threat and we weren't worth his time, it seems…" Arthur said, he transformed and his horns poked out while his tail grew.

"You really don't like your dragon form as a human, huh?" Elma said, she felt her tail brush up against something and then looked back to see that it was Arthur's tail.

He looked back and then both shared a look and blushed before pulling their tails away.

"Sorry." Elma said, Arthur shrugged, still blushing.

"It's fine… As for me not liking my Dragon form? I do, I just don't use it often. You should know a lot of people think that dragons in human form look like cosplayers. They think your using makeup and props and such to disguise yourself as a dragon… I've seen it done before. I still question what's going to have to happen… I'm not going to try to figure out some convoluted way to go home and then tell the Chaos Dragons one of their warriors is busy destroying Earth and they need to come gets him…. I'd just get turned into dragon steak… Besides, this guy is going after humans." Arthur said.

"You plan on fighting him again?" Elma asked, Arthur nodded and smiled.

"I'd need your help to do it… But yes, I do intend on fighting him again. He's a danger to the entire human race wherever he goes and I doubt he's acting on orders… Either he's the mastermind behind some plan to bring the war to Earth. I could only assume so… or he's a pawn in a plan that's sure to end badly for everyone on Earth… Either way, I'm going to take him down… Can you help me with that?" Arthur asked, Elma nodded before both realized their tails had become tangled while they weren't paying attention.

Both groaned and went through the effort of recalling them before they turned back to the fire and started to relax.

Elma leaned her head on Arthur's shoulder and the dragon chuckled and draped an arm over her while using his magic to pull a blanket to them.

They sighed.

Author Note

Phew, another chapter done! I'm sorry for this chapter being short, I want to point out the romance is still going to be slow. Next chapter will show Arthur and Elma talking and Elma going to apply again for a job and Arthur talking to Kobaysashi about the dragon. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
