Nothing.
Complete nothing.
The body fell to the ground.
With shaky legs, I got off.
Once I was on the ground, I sunk to my knees, covering my face with my hands.
The tears kept coming. How could I have committed this homicide? I was bad. I was a murderer.
No. If we were going to travel through this, we were not going to kill anything.
Then, I heard a little, tink- tink. Like a small breeze tickling pass wind chimes.
I took my face out of my hands and looked behind, to find the source of the noise. I gasped.
Blinding light.
I had to look away, in order to still be able to see.
I looked over at Syria.
She was up and walking. Towards the light.
The light didn't seem to bother her.
Wind was blowing her hair back, and the light seemed to lighten her hair.
With her hand out, she walked towards a movement in the light. Like a light shadow, that kept taking different forms.
"Syria?" I whispered.
She didn't acknowledge my voice.
She walked into the light. I could no longer see her.
Then, the light grew dimmer.
And dimmer.
And dimmer.
Till, there was no light at all.
There were two figures.
One, was a beautiful dragon. With deep blue skin, and sky blue jewels embedded into it's skin. The dragon had emerald eyes, along with deep blue spikes popping up from it's head, twisted and weaved together, as if to resemble a crown. It's wings were also a deep blue, but were embedded with diamonds. It's claws were a polished white.
And Syria was touching it. She had set a small hand on it's nose.
I got up and walked towards them.
They both acknowledged my presence.
The dragon nodded to me.
"Thank you." The serious voice had said. It sounded female...
"Your welcome..." I breathed. I was so confused.
"My name is Empress Alendro. I rule over all creatures."
"O-o-okay." I stammered. If I didn't make a good impression, I'm pretty sure Empress Alendro would make my dog bite me or something.As if she could read my thoughts, she laughed and said, "I'm only ruling over the Magical Creatures Tribe. Emperor Leo is the ruler of The Earth Inhabitants Tribe."
"Is he a lion?"
"Sadly yes. I'm afraid the stereotypes are correct.""Ok, since I am REALLY confused, can you explain everything?" Syria nodded in agreement.
Empress Alendro laughed. "Sit down humans, and I will tell you..."
