(Dragon Wars) Lost Hope

Chapter 6: Dead Corpse

I blinked a few times, as I let the dust settle up in the night air, all at once, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that had even happened to all of us in the very first place any ways. It had been hell to get out of that collapsing cave, as several spikes had fallen down on the ceiling above me during that time that I had even been trying to get out of there in the very first place any ways, none the less.
I had to save Aitoka several times, due to the fact that she could not get out of the way of some of the spikes. In the end how ever, luckily we all had in fact made it out okay, as I was in fact breathing quite a bit heavily to my self right now, as I could not even imagine as to just how it was that Aitoka might feel right at this very moment in time as well, none the less, as I felt quite a bit bad for just what it was that had just gone on.
Though, it wasn't really my fault at all, as I knew that it had kind of been the fault of Plyma, as it was clear that he had been trying to call the bluff of the human, and try to act like the human did not have any powers what so ever, but it was clear that he was wrong with just what it was that he had even thought, all at the exact same time as well, sadly enough, as he was now stuck in side of that cave, or for all that I knew, he could be dead right now, as some corpse some where in that cave, none the less.
I felt quite a bit guilty for it, as I felt like it had been just as much my fault as it had been his, as it was clear that neither of us had a single clue as to just what it was that we were about to run in to in there, and what it was that the powers that the humans even had in the very first place any ways, none the less, as it was in fact quite a bit scary if I was not going to lie to my self either, as to just what it was that had happened in there, in the very first place any ways, none the less.
I stared down at the ground, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should do, or just what it was that I should even say in the very first place any ways, as well, as I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at once, as I did my best to try to calm my self down, as I stared out in to just what it was that was left of the cave that we had been in not all too much longer ago, all at the exact same time as well, none the less, once again.
It was covered in rocks now, as it seemed like there was no such way in or out of the cave at this point any more, as it seemed like no matter what the case was, Plyma was going to die in that cave, unless he some how found some sort of magical lake in there that had tons of water and fish, which were the hardest animal to catch none the less, all at the exact same time as well, that would keep him alive.
Either way, no matter how it was that I was to look at it, I was fairly certain that I was not going to ever see his face ever again, as he was trapped in that cave now, all at the exact same time too, none the less. I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at once, as I then all of the sudden got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of those thoughts, as I just looked away from the cave that was in front of me, all at the exact same time too.
I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I did my best to try to calm my self down, as I then just looked over at the both of my friends that were with me, all at the exact same time too, as at first, I looked over to Sola, as I knew that she was in fact the sister of that dragon that was in that cave right now, as I saw that she seemed to have quite a bit of a blank look on her face right now, as if she seemed to feel quite a bit empty in side right now.
Unlike how I kind of felt right now, I did not see any sort of look of guilt on her face at all right at this very moment in time too, as it simply seemed like she just was not feeling any sort of emotion in side of her right at this very moment in time too, which did in fact make me feel quite a bit sick if I was not going to lie to my self either, as I knew that it was not normal for her. Though I could not blame her, as I was sure that what it was that she had just seen, had in fact traumatized her none the less.
I looked away from her, all at once, due to the fact that I now all of the sudden heard the voice of Aitoka, all at the exact same time as well, as it seemed like she was now wanting to speak finally, as I blinked my eyes a few times, and I did in fact turn my head over to just where it was that she was even at right at this very moment in time too, as I saw that she too had a guilt stricken look on her face right at this very moment as well.
It was clear that she too did in fact seem to feel a little bit empty inside as well. I was not all too sure as to just how it was that I should help either one of my friends right now, as I just shook my head, as I did my best to try to just shake off all of those thoughts, all at once, as I then did in fact begin to start to pay attention as to just what it was that Aitoka even had to say right at this very moment in time as well, as I then nodded to her, just to let her know that, none the less.
She seemed to either not have noticed, or just not cared about it at all, as she just seemed to continue to go on ahead and speak up to the both of us, all at the exact same time too. I let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at once, as I did my best to try to calm my self down, all at the exact same time as well, as I then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that she even had to say to the both of us in the very first place any ways, none the less.
"We've got to go in side and search for Plyma! What will his father Zogan think if we come back with out Plyma?!" She said to the both of us, as it was clear that she was freaking out right at this very moment in time as well. I stared at her with a bit of a blank look on my face for just a little bit of some time, until I then all of the sudden began to start to notice that from the corner of my eyes none the less, I saw that there was a not all too happy look on the face of Sola for some odd reason or another, after she had brought of the name of Zogan. I always noticed it when I heard that name around her, as I had to guess that she was upset about it, due to the fact that was who it was that her mother had left her for. I could not blame her for it, as I then all of the sudden dipped my head ever lower to the ground, as I felt even more guilty than I had been before, none the less, once again. I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should do right now, but it was clear how ever, that Aitoka had in fact noticed the look that was on my face, as I then all of the sudden began to start to hear her begin to start to continue to speak, how ever, just to me mainly this time, as I did in fact begin to start to continue to listen as to just what it was that she even had to say to me once again. "Come on Himla! That's your best friend! Sola, that's your brother!"
She said to me, and then over to Sola at the last part, as I saw that once again from the corner of my eyes, that Sola still did not have an all too happy look on her face what so ever, as to just what it was that had even been said, all at the exact same time too. I was a little bit lost by it, if I was not going to lie to my self either, as I then all of the sudden turned my head over to Sola, all at the exact same time too.
I could tell that she was quite a bit angry for some odd reason or another, as if she did not actually care for our friend, and her brother, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that she had her eyes squinted at Aitoka, which Aitoka seemed a little bit lost in her own state of mind to even notice that what so ever, all at the exact same time as well, none the less, as it seemed like she had a lot going on in her head right at this very moment in time too.
I knew as to just why that was, as I knew that it was going to be damn near impossible to tell Plyma's father that his son had died in a cave collapse, all at the exact same time as well, especially after it was that his father had been a bit upset, and he had told his son to not go out and go in to the human land, all at the exact same time as well. For once I seemed to agree with what it was that his father had said, which was a rare thing for me to think on Zogan, none the less.
I blinked my eyes a few times, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time too how ever, as I instead got my focus on the fact that I knew that we had to find some sort of way to go on ahead and help my best friend, all at the exact same time too, as I knew that I did not want him to die, as of course, he was not only my best friend, but I knew that it was going to cause a lot of chaos and a lot of drama between all of the tribes, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden got my mind, and I got my focus on the thoughts that had to do with the fact that I knew that I had to go on ahead and start to search for my friend, as I then did in fact begin to start to head over to where the big rock pile was, from the cave collapse, all at the exact same time as well, as I shivered at the thought of losing my best friend too.
I wanted to almost cry, as I felt like an idiot for thinking that any of this was a good idea now, as I stared down at the ground, as soon as it was that I then all of the sudden did in fact begin to start to go on ahead and go over to where the rock pile was at, all at the exact same time as well, as I looked for a good section to dig up, in order to find some sort of way in to the cave, all at the exact same time too, all at once, once again.
As I began to start to head over to the rock pile, all at once, I was in fact quite a bit relieved to hear the paw steps of Aitoka, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that she was in fact going with me over to the rock pile, to help me go on ahead and try to dig through the rocks, all at the exact same time as well, as I felt a bit relieved to have her by my side in such a stressful situation as the one that we were even in right at this very moment in time as well, never the less.
I blinked my eyes a few times, all at the exact same time as well, as just as we seemed to be getting close to the collapsed cave entrance, all at once, I then all of the sudden heard the loud cough of Sola, as she seemed to be trying to get the both of our attentions on to her, all at the exact same time as well, none the less. I was a bit lost as to just what it was doing, and just what it was that she was even thinking right at this very moment in time any ways, but in the end, I did in fact turn my head over to her, all at the exact same time as well.
I looked at Sola right in to her eyes, as I saw that she had quite a bit of an angry look on her face for some odd reason or another, as to just what it was that she saw the both of us doing right now, all at the exact same time too. I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, as I was a little bit lost by it, all at once, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was even going on with her right at this very moment in time any ways, none the less. How ever, I did in fact saw her nod to the both of us, to let us both know that she was in fact about to go on ahead and start to speak to us, all at the exact same time too.
I stared at her with quite a bit of a blank look on my face for a bit of some time, until in the end, I did in fact nod back to her, to let her know that I was in fact paying attention as to just what it was that sh even had to say to us in the very first place any ways, as I saw that Aitoka did the same as I did, with her head tilted as well. As Sola saw the both of us do as such a thing, she did in fact go on ahead and begin to start to speak to the both of us, as we did in fact both begin to start to listen as to just what it was that she even had to say to us, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
"You did see what I saw right? That would be impossible for us to dig through all of that... Besides... Plyma is probably dead in there right now, and if he is alive... Well..." She said to the both of us, as I saw quite a bit of a dark look on her face, and in her eyes, all at the exact same time too, which was for sure not a normal thing to see from her, all at the exact same time as well, as I was quite a bit surprised as to just what itbwas that she had even said to us in the very first place any ways, and just how easy it was for her to just give up on her brother like that, all at the exact same time too, as I blinked my eyes a few times, and I got my mind, and my focus off of all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden just tilted my head over to her, just as Aitoka was doing right at this very moment in time too. I was quite a bit lost as to just what it was that she was getting at. She saw that she did not have either one of our support on what it was that she was saying, as she dipped her head a bit low to the ground, all at once. How ever, she still did in fact begin to start to continue to speak to both of us, as I did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that she even had to say to us once again, as well. "If he's alive... He would find a better way out than we would... We would never find him in there..."
I blinked my eyes a few times, as I still was quite a bit surprised that she was so easily giving up on her brother in the very first place any ways, but at the exact same time as well, I kind of felt like she was right with what it was that she had just said, as I kind of did in fact feel like there was no way that we were going to find him in that cave, as it seemed like it would take for ever for us to dig out of there, and we just did not have that kind of time.
I also did not want to risk that human coming back to us either, if I was not going to lie to my self either, as I shivered quite a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I did my best to try to calm my self down, all at once, as I knew that Plyma for sure would not be happy with what it was that we were even thinking about doing right now, if he was not know that we were in fact doing as such a thing, all at the exact same time as well.
Though, I still was not all too sure if he was alive in there, and I was not all too sure if it was worth wasting our time to even try to find out about it, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden shook my head, as I did my best to try to shake those thoughts from out of my head, all at once, as I then all of the sudden began to start to think on just what it was that I should even be trying to do right at this very moment in time as well, as I then all of the sudden looked over to Sola.
She seemed to have quite a bit of a blank look in her eyes, as it seemed like she did not seem to have any sort of emotion in her right at this very moment in time too. I wish that I could feel the same way as her right now, but sadly that was not the case, as I felt like I was over come with a whole lot of guilt right at this very moment in time too, just based off of the fact that I was in fact thinking on the fact that we should in fact leave my best friend behind, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
I once again dipped my head a bit low to the ground, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to breath in quite a bit to my self, all at once, as I got my mind, and I got my thoughts off of all of that, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to blink my eyes a few times, as I stared at the bare dirt that was on the ground that I was even looking at right at this very moment in time as well, as I felt like I could not feel any thing in side right at this very moment in time too, once again.
I shook my head, as I did my best to try to calm my self down, as I heard quite a loud hiss from not all too far away from me, all at the exact same time as well, which did in fact make me lift my head up, all at once, as I was in fact quite a bit lost as to just what it was that was even going on right at this very moment in time too, as I blinked my eyes once again, as I saw that it just so happened to be Aitoka, as it seemed like she was staring at Sola with a not so happy look on her face what so ever right now, as well, all at the exact same time too.
I felt like I could not blame Aitoka for that either, as I knew that a lot of the blame was going to be put on her, as for all that I knew, she might be cast out of the tribe, if Zogan was to find out that she had gone with him to go explore the human land, and that Plyma had not come back what so ever, all at the exact same time too, as for all that I knew, he might not believe the story, or he might get very upset that she had not even tried to go and help his son, all at the exact same time too.
I did my best to try to calm my self down, all at a once, as I did my best to try to get my mind off of all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time as well, as I got my focus on the fact that Aitoka was now all of the sudden beginning to start to speak to Sola, and as she was doing as such a thing, none the less, I did in fact hear quite a bit of a not so happy tone in her voice, all at the exact same time as well, as I blinked my eyes a few times, all at once.
I was not all too sure as to just who's side it was that I should choose in this debate, as I felt like I should just hear out what it was that the both of them had to say, before it was that I had to make my final decision, though I still was leaning more towards the side of Sola if I was not going to lie to my self either, as much as it might make me feel quite a bit guilty, all at the exact same time too, once again, as I just seemed to stare at Aitoka.
I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of the rest of the other thoughts that I had been thinking on before, as I then instead got my mind and my focus on the fact that had to do with the fact that I knew that I did in fact need to listen as to just what it was that she even had to say back to Sola as a little bit of a response to her, once again. I blinked my eyes a few times, as I did in fact begin to start to pay attention as to just what it was that Aitoka even had to say, all at the exact same time too, as she did in fact continue to speak, and I did in fact continue to begin to start to listen as to just what it was that she even had to say, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
"Of course you would say that! I swear, all of you red dragons are the same!" She said to Sola, as I was quite a bit shocked as to just what it was that she had even said, all at the exact same time too, as my eyes then all of the sudden became quite a bit wide, all at once, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of the rest of the thoughts that I had been thinking on before, as I was quite a bit hurt as to just what it was that she had said, all at the exact same time too.
This was in fact the dragon that I was in love with, that was speaking bad about my own species, all at the exact same time too, as I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I did my best to try to calm my self down as best as I could, though the more that I began to start to think on it, the more that it did in fact upset me, and the more that it did in fact enrage me, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
I did my best to try to calm my self down, all at once, once again, but it was just too hard, as I then all of the sudden squinted my eyes at the 'black dragon' that was in front of me, all at the exact same time too, as I was not hurt what so ever any more, as I was in fact quite a bit angry as to just what it was that she had said, all at the exact same time as well. So that was how she wanted to play things, huh?!
She seemed to notice me looking at me the way that I was, all at the exact same time as well, as she then all of the sudden began to start to realize as to just what it was that she had even said, all at the exact same time as well, none the less. How ever, it was just far too late for her, as she had already made her grave mistake at this point, and there seemed to be no such sort of way of changing up what it was that she had even just said to Sola, though it seemed to be indirectly meant towards me all the exact same time as well.
Aitoka realized it, all at once, as I saw her eyes open wide and she opened her mouth as if she was about to speak, or she was about to apologize as to just what it was that she had said to both of her red dragon friends, all at the exact same time too. I honestly did not want to hear what it was that she had to even say to me if I was not going to lie to my self, as instead of the fact that I had my eyes squinted at her for any longer, I then all of the sudden looked away from her, all at the exact same time too, none the less.
I blinked my eyes a few times, as I did my best to try to think on, and try to focus on the thoughts that had to do with some thing else, but I was not going to lie. I was in fact hurt by what it was that she had said, as I waited for her to go on ahead and start to speak to both me and Sola, and apologize for what it was that she had said to us, all at the exact same time too, but that just did not seem to be the case, what so ever, all at the exact same time as well, as things seemed to be silent for a bit more time.
It upset me even more, though I tried to stay as calm as I possibly could, all at the exact same time too, as I looked over at Sola, who for some reason seemed to have a little bit of a smirk on her face, all at the exact same time as well, as to just what it was that was going on right now, as I saw that she looked over at me for just a few moments, as it seemed like she was trying to gain my support in just what it was that she was about to go on ahead and say back to Aitoka. How ever, I just felt a bit too empty in side right now, to do any thing about all of that.
I stared down at the ground for just a bit more time, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should think right now, nor was I all too sure as to just what it was that I should even do, all at the exact same time as well, as I just stared down below me for quite a bit longer. I was in a lot of pain for a lot of different reasons, as one of those was the fact that I had lost my friend, as it was not just purely based off of what it was that Aitoka had even just said to us, all at the exact same time too.
I got my mind and my focus off of all of that, all at the exact same time as well how ever, as I then instead got my focus on the fact that I now all of the sudden began to start to hear the voice of Sola, as it seemed like she was a little bit surprised as to just what it was that Aitoka had said to us, all at the exact same time too, as I could hear the shock in her voice as she did in fact begin to start to speak to Aitoka.
If I was not going to lie to my self either, I really did not want to hear what it was that Sola was going to say back to her, but I did in fact lift my head up to Sola, all at once, as I stared at her with quite a bit of a blank and an empty look on my own face, all at the exact same time too, as I saw that she was still looking at Aitoka, as she continued to go on ahead and speak to her, once again.
I stared for just a bit longer, as I was in fact paying attention as to just what it was that Sola even had to say back to Aitoka, all at the exact same time as well, as she continued to go on ahead and speak to Aitoka, as I did in fact begin to start to continue to listen as to just what it was that she even had to say back to Aitoka in the very first place any ways, none the less.
"Wow... I didn't realize you thought that way about us... Than if you think that way about us like that, why do you think we should waste our time in finding his dead corpse?"
