TL;DR - Ciphon, the volcanic forest beetle, decided to roll on over some baddies when he saw a loyal customer about to get robbed

Are you ever just minding your business and people wanna ruin your evening by raising a knife to your face? No? What do you mean that never happens to you? Well, Warez has certainly been in a similar situation countless times before and tonight is no different.

Warez would be making his way back home after getting his spoils from one long-ass fetch quest before getting held up by some unlikely visitors. Wearing hoods, dark clothing, and wielding daggers and knives it was quick to tell these guys were some kind of thieves or bandits, and all they wanted was to get some quick and easy loot by robbing someone tired after their last journey.

Meanwhile, a certain blacksmith would be making his way home after delivering various items to good-paying customers in the area. But for what was supposed to be a simple trip, Ciphon had gotten distracted seeing something out of the corner of his eye. He would see a couple of thugs trying to mug a poor innocent soul, but not wanting to get involved he would continue to press on before doing a double-take and realizing the one getting accosted was none other than his loyal customer Warez. He would see them draw their weapons in an attempt to intimidate the dragon and at that point, he would take action.

Warez backs himself into a wall giving the thieves a false sense of security and believing they have the upper hand, he stops playing around and gets ready to easily take out three people at once. But before getting the chance to stunt on them, the ground would begin to rumble while the sound of gravel being crushed gets significantly louder. What transpired next was something unexpected even by Warez's standards, which would be Ciphon rolling on through to steal the dragon’s thunder. The volcanic forest beetle took the three out with ease as one got launched into the air before crash landing, one got run over never being able to walk again, and the last one got chased down the road before getting crushed himself.

Without a word, Ciphon kept rolling on as if nothing happened leaving Warez to deal with the cleanup by taking two unconscious thieves to prison and one permanently asleep thief to the morgue. After all was said and done Warez would make his way home and on the way he would think about how he would thank Ciphon for this act in the future.
