(Dragon Wars) Lost Hope

Chapter 7: Earlier Than Expected

There we were, right in between our territory, and the territory of Plyma, and Aitoka, all at the exact same time as well, as it was quite a bit dark out already, all at the exact same time as well, as we had flown back with out any such sort of sleep what so ever, all at the exact same time as well, due to the fact that we did not want to have a run in, or another occurrence with that strange human all at the exact same time as well.
I felt worn out, as I was not all too sure how it was that Aitoka could seem to be feeling wide awake right now, as none of us had slept in nearly 2 days at this point, all at the exact same time as well, as it seemed like Aitoka seemed to have a little bit of an extra boost of adrenaline right at this very moment in time too. I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I knew as to just why it was that she was being that way right now.
She had her eyes squinted at Sola right now, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that she was not all too happy that Sola had made the end all say all decision in the end, that we should not waste our time in search of Plyma, as I knew that she was right, and I knew that we would never find him, all at the exact same time too, never the less, as I still felt quite a bit sick that I had in fact agreed to that.
Though, I then began to start to begin to remember, all at the exact same time as well, as to a bit of the reason that I had been that way, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to remember some thing that Aitoka had said to both me and Sola, which still did in fact hurt me to this point, as I felt like I should have got over it at this point, all at the exact same time as well, but it was a little bit hard for me to, none the less.
She had not even apologized for it what so ever, at that, as she seemed to act like it was perfectly fine what it was that she had said, when I knew that based off of the look of guilt on her face, all at the exact same time as well, after just what it was that she had even said in the very first place any ways, that it was clear to me, all at the exact same time too, that she had in fact meant what it was that she had said, as she must have forgot about it at this point, meaning that it was no big deal to her what so ever, and she did in fact feel that kind of way about us.
I let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at once, as I knew that as tired as I was right at this very moment in time right now, as well, I sure as hell was having a lot of some rushes of emotions, all at the exact same time as well, never the less. I knew that I needed to calm my self down, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden got my mind and my focus off of all of those thoughts, all at once, as I just seemed to stare at the both of my friends, as we stood down on the ground, to get a bit of some rest.
Perhaps this was not the best of ideas at that, none the less, due to the fact that I knew that I was so tired, I felt like I just wanted to fall asleep right now. Though I suppose it was a lot safer to fall asleep around here at that, never the less, due to the fact that I knew that we were in dragon land right at this very moment in time as well, mean while, when we had been in that cave, that had been human land, all at the exact same time too.
I blinked my eyes a few times, as I did my best to try to calm my self down as best as I possibly could, all at once, as I just shook my head, and I then looked at the both of my friends, all at once, as I could tell that there was a lot of tension that was building up in the air at this point, all at the exact same time as well, as I could see that the both of them seemed to be infuriated with each other, all at the exact same time as well, at that, as I saw that the both of them were looking at each other with their eyes squinted.
I did my best to try to calm my self down as best as I possibly could, all at once, as I then all of the sudden heard Aitoka begin to start to growl at Sola, all at the exact same time as well, which did in fact make me tilt my head at Aitoka, as if she was acting like she was not in the wrong for just what it was that she had said to the both of us at that, never the less. It kind of annoyed me, and it kind of upset me, all at the exact same time as well.
It was clear that Sola was very angry with her right now as well, too, as I was sure that was due to the fact that she too, just as I was, was thinking back on just what it was that Aitoka had even said to us, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that Sola was staring at Aitoka, all at the exact same time as well, as she had her mouth open, as I saw she had her teeth wide open, all at the exact same time as well, as it seemed like she almost was about to bite in to Aitoka.
I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should do right now, as I felt like I should step in and do some thing, as I knew that a fight was the last thing that we needed right at this very moment in time as well, as I knew that there was already enough tension in between the tribes as it was right now, as I knew that a fight between the tribes would be detrimental that never the less. I gulped quite a bit to my self all at the exact same time too.
I blinked my eyes a few times, as I then all of the sudden saw Aitoka start to shake her head over towards Sola, all at once, as I saw that she looked over towards me, as if she was trying to get my side, but she eventually quickly gave up on that, as she saw that I would not budge what so ever, all at the exact same time as well, as she then all of the sudden did in fact get her eyes back on to Sola, all at the exact same time as well, as she then all of the sudden began to start to have a bit more of a relaxed look on her face, all at once, as she then all of the sudden did in fact go on ahead and nod to Sola, to let her know that she was in fact about to go on ahead and begin to start to speak to her, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
It seemed to be quite a bit clear to me, if I was not going to lie to my self either, that Sola really did not seem to want to hear as to just what it was that Aitoka even had to say to her, but Sola did in fact nod to her, all at the exact same time as well, to let her know that she was in fact paying her full attention as to just what it was that Aitoka was even about to go on ahead and say to us, all at the exact same time too.
How ever, she did in fact tilt her head a bit towards Aitoka, at that, as it was clear that she was in fact a little bit lost as to just what it was that was even going on right at this very moment in time too, as in the end, she did in fact go on ahead and start to speak to Sola, all at the exact same time too, as I too did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that Aitoka, with the angry look that she had on her face, at that, none the less, even had to say to Sola, all at the exact same time too, at that.
"Best of luck for you... I'll see you next time at the gathering..." She said to Sola, though I really did not like the tone in her voice that she had, as to just what it was that she had even said to Sola, all at the exact same time as well, as it seemed like she was being sarcastic with what it was that she had even said at that, never the less, as it seemed like she almost hoped that some thing bad was to happen to the both of us during that time, all at the exact same time too.
If I was not going to lie to my self wither, at that, never the less, this did in fact seem to be the last straw between the both of them, as I had already noticed that the both of them were not getting along what so ever, over the last few times that we had met at that, never the less. I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at once, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I possibly could, all at the exact same time too, as I got my mind, and I got my focus on the fact that I knew that soon there would be no fighting.
I doubt that we were going to be meeting up with each other, now that it was that Plyma was no longer around, as I knew that Sola did not like Aitoka what so ever, and Aitoka did not like her back either. So Aitoka would only be purely coming to meet up, to go and see me, and if I was not going to lie to my self either, I really kind of did not want to go and talk to Aitoka what so ever, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to squint my eyes at her.
Aitoka seemed to stared at Sola for just a little bit longer, all at the exact same time as well, until it was that she then all of the sudden began to start to turn her head away from her, all at once, as she then began to start to lift her self up in the air, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden saw that she was now all of the sudden beginning to start to fly back to her tribe, all at the exact same time as well, with out saying a single good bye to me, at that.
I felt like I should feel guilty about it my self, if I was not going to lie to my self either, as I felt like she might have in fact noticed that look that I had on my face over towards her, all at the exact same time as well, after just what it was that she had even said to Sola at that, none the less. How ever, I also kind of felt like, all at the exact same time as well, that she still should have at least apologized to me, if she even cared about me all at once.
If I was not going to lie to my self right now, as I seemed to just stare at her, as I watched her fly off in the distance, all at the exact same time too, I kind of felt like I was heart broken, as I was in a bit of some grief, all at the exact same time as well, as that was due to a lot of different things, as I knew that it was not just her that was making me feel this way, though I had in fact felt like I had in fact been in love with her before hand, though now, I was not all too sure if I was not going to lie to my self either, never the less.
I also was quite a bit hurt over the loss of my best friend, all at the exact same time too, as I knew that we had been with each other through thick and thin. My life seemed to all of the sudden begin to start to all of the sudden start to feel like it was beginning to all crash right in front of my eyes, all at the exact same time as well, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should, nor was I all too sure as to just what it was that I could in fact do to change all of this.
I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at once, as I felt like this must be some thing to do with the powers that the humans had, as it was now starting to make sense to me, all at once, at that none the less, all at the exact same time too. Now I was starting to begin to under stand why it was that the dragons were the ones that got the not so nice land, and why it was that we always hid from the humans. I always thought that because they were small, they were weak, but clearly I was very wrong on that.
I let out quite a bit of a rough and a heavy to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I got my mind and my focus off of all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to notice from the corner of my eyes, as I had been staring at the ground for quite a bit of some time at that, that Sola was staring at me right now. I was a little bit confused at first, as to just what it was that was even going on, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden lifted my head up to her, all at once.
Sola seemed to just be staring at me with a bit of a blank look on her face, that was of course until she then all of the sudden began to start to realize, all at the exact same time too, that she did in fact begin to start to have my attention on to her, all at once, as I then all of the sudden did in fact start to see her go on ahead and begin to nod to me, to let me know that she was in fact about to start to speak to me, none the less.
I blinked my eyes a few times, once again, as I then all of the sudden did in fact nod back to her, all at the exact same time too, to let her know that I was in fact paying attention as to just what it was that she was even about to say to me, all at once. Once it was that she had in fact seen me do as such a thing, she then did in fact thankfully begin to go on ahead and start to speak to me, as I did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that she even had to say, once again, at that, never the less.
"I have no clue how you can be in love with that dragon... If you want me to be for real with my self..." She said to me, as I saw that she had her eyes squinted at me, all of the sudden. I felt a bit guilty for it to, if I was not going to lie to my self either, as I really had not seen any of that coming if I was not going to lie to my self. I was in fact kind of glad how ever, that I had in fact not told her that I had been in love with her now, how ever, all at the exact same time too, as I was now not all too sure if I really was.
The fact that I still had that fact that she had said that thing about red dragons was still lingering in my mind. She was not in love with me back, as I was quite clear of at this point, as it did in fact hurt me, but I was more just upset as to just what it was that she had even said to us, all at the exact same time as well, to even be hurt by it, all at the exact same time too, as I just let out quite a bit of a rough sigh to my self, all at once, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of those thoughts once again.
I began to feel quite a bit guilty of it how ever, if I was not going to lie to my self as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to dip my head quite a bit low to the ground, as I did in fact feel like I was a bit of an idiot now, all at the exact same time as well, as to the fact that I had admitted to Sola that I was in love with that dragon, all at the exact same time too, after all that had just happened to all 3 of us during that time, all at once.
It was almost as if she thought that all of the red dragons were the same, as we very well could think the same way about the black dragons, after just what it was that Plyma had pulled off, all at the exact same time too. I knew that would for sure have torn off our friend ship if I had brought up that as well, as I was in fact quite a bit glad that I had not thought of that at the time, and neither had Sola none the less, as I knew that it would have been all over for all of us, if we were in fact to say that to her.
I knew that the black dragons easily got angry, and I knew that she would have been very angry with what it was that I had said, if I had in fact said that to her. Though I was not all too sure if it would have mattered, and if we still were friends right now in the very first place any ways. I just let out quite a bit of a heavy sigh to my self, all at once, once again, as I just seemed to stare at the dirt that was below me for quite a bit longer, all at once.
Not only did I feel like a little bit of an idiot for the fact that I had told Sola that I had been in love with her, and she had been there to witness all that had just happened, but I also now began to start to feel a little bit guilty as to the fact that I had told my father about it none the less, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that my father was in fact going to think of me when ever it was that I had told him, as to just what it was that had even happened between us, all at the exact same time as well, at that, never the less.
All of the sudden, my eyes then began to start to open wide, all at once, as I then all of the sudden began to start to remember some thing else, which was some thing a lot more important than the fact that Sola was not really friends with us any more. There was a reason as to just why it was that it was the case, as I knew that I needed to tell my father about what it was that had happened to Plyma whilst we had been in that cave the other night, all at the exact same time as well.
I knew that I had to tell him as well, as I knew that I could not hide it from him, as I knew that Aitoka was going to tell Zogan for sure as to just what it was that had even happened whilst we had been there, all at the exact same time as well, as I was now all of the sudden a bit afraid of that, none the less. I knew that it was Plyma's own fault, but I was not all too sure how many dragons were going to put the blame on me for going with him over to that place, all at the exact same time too.
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 best as I possibly could, once again, as I then all of the sudden shook my head a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden finally did in fact begin to start to lift my head back up to Sola, all at the exact same time too, as I then looked at her right in to her eyes, as I squinted my eyes as soon as it was that I had done as such a thing, all at the exact same time too.
I could tell that Sola was a little bit surprised, and she was in fact quite a bit confused as to just what it was that I was even doing right at this very moment in time as well, as I saw that she seemed to have moved back, as it seemed like she felt like I was perhaps angry or upset with her, which was not the case what so ever, as I knew that the rush of emotions that I had right now had nothing to do with her what so ever, right at this very moment in time as well.
I gulped a bit to my self, as I then all of the sudden did my best to get my mind and my focus off of all of the rest of the thoughts that seemed to be traveling through my mind right now, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to breath in quite a bit to my self, all at once, as I then began to start to nod to Sola, all at the exact same time too, to let her know that I was in fact about to go on ahead and start to speak to her, all at the exact same time as well.
I really did not want her to think that I was upset at all with her right now, as that simply was just not the case what so ever. I breathed in a bit of a soft sigh of relief to my self, as I then all of the sudden saw her nod to me, to let me know that she was in fact paying attention as to just what it was that I even had to say to her, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden did in fact begin to start to go on ahead and begin to speak to her, now that it was that I knew that she was in fact beginning to start to listen as to just what it was that I even had to say to her in the very first place any ways, never the less, at that.
"I don't know either Sola... Let's just get back to the tribe... I don't know what the hell I am going to tell my father, Peota..." I said to her, as I blinked my eyes a few times, as I remembered the thoughts on all of that, once again, as I then began to start to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I did my best to try to stay as calm as I possibly could, as I got my mind and my focus on to that, all at once.
I had to think of some thing, and luckily I had some time to just think to my self, all at the exact same time as well, whilst it was that we were heading back to the camp of the tribe, all at the exact same time as well, as I let out a bit of a soft sigh of relief to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I knew that I did not have to worry about it just yet. I knew that it was not our fault as to just what it was that Plyma had done, but still... I was not all too sure as to whether or not I had to take at least some of the fault for it.
I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self once again, as I then all of the sudden began to start to begin to go on ahead and do what it was that I had told Sola that we should go on ahead and begin to do in the very first place any ways, which was of course the fact that I began to start to fly up high in to the air, and I began to get ready to go on ahead and head back to camp, as I knew that it was a bit strange for me to be going back so soon.
I knew as to why, and I still could not help but to keep on thinking with a little bit of a guilty conscious, that it was in fact my fault, all at the exact same time as well. I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of the rest of the thoughts that I had been thinking on before, and I then did in fact look back over to Sola, to make sure that she had in fact heard as to just what it was that I had even said to her in the very first place any ways, never the less.
As I did in fact look back on to her, I luckily did in fact see that she was right behind me, and she was staring right at me as well, as it was clear that she did in fact want me to take the lead, which I could not blame her for, as I was sure that she really did not want the blame to be put on to her what so ever, all at once. Of course, it was all going to get put on to me, as I knew that I was not an idiot at all, and I knew that I was the deputy of the tribe, all at the exact same time as well.
I knew that I should have known better, and I had in fact known that it was a bad idea from the beginning, but for some odd reason or another, I just really had not cared all too much what so ever, once again, as I really did kind of wish that I had in fact cared now, as I realized just how big of a mistake that it was that I had even made, all at the exact same time as well, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of those thoughts, as I then just got my eyes back to what it was that was in front of me.
I knew that luckily enough, by the time it was that we got back to the camp, it was going to be completely dark, and I knew that I was not going to have to worry about speaking to any dragons until tomorrow at the very least for me, but it still did in fact stress me out quite a bit to even know that there was in fact going to have to be a lot of explaining that I was even going to have to do, all at the exact same time as well, as I shivered at just the thought of it, as I did my best to try to calm my self down, all at once.
I blinked my eyes, and I then just nodded to my self, as I got my focus instead on the thought that I knew that first we really needed to just get back to camp, as I was exhausted as it was right now, as it once again seemed to be coming back to me, now that I was up in the sky, and I was flying, as I knew that I was not flying like I normally should be, what so ever none the less, as I knew that it was going to be quite a bit of some time before it was that we were even going to camp.
Meaning that we were not going to be getting all too much sleep what so ever, as I then once again began to start to groan quite a bit to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I just wanted to sleep for ever, if I was not going to lie to my self. Sadly, I knew that was not a reality, and I was going to have to come back to real life, and I was going to have to pay for my terrible actions that I had made tomorrow, all at the exact same time too.
I gulped quite a bit of some spit down my throat, all at once, as I then just kept on going up in the air, as I could hear the very loud flapping of the wings of both of us, as it was clear that I was not the only one who was exhausted what so ever, all at the exact same time too, as I could tell that Sola seemed to be just as tired as I was right at this very moment in time too. I simply just did not think about any of the reason as to why, as I just kept on going back to the camp, never the less.

It was quite a bit dark out, but I could in fact see the familiar sight of the camp, all at the exact same time as well, as I felt like I just wanted to fall on to the ground, and not even get in to a cave right now, and just pass out right now, all at the exact same time as well, never the less. I knew that I had to how ever, as I knew that I would look like an idiot if dragons were to wake up tomorrow, and see that the deputy of the tribe was laying in the middle of the camp right now.
I blinked my eyes a few times, all at once, as I then began to start to dip my self low, all at the exact same time as well, as I got ready to go on ahead and land on the ground, as I knew that was what it was that you were supposed to do, if you came back to the camp late at night, none the less, as you were not supposed to wake up all of the dragons that were in the tribe, from their sleep, none the less. Especially with the fact that our wings were extra loud right now, all at the exact same time too, at that.
I nodded a bit to my self, all at once, as I then all of the sudden did in fact hit the ground, as I then all of the sudden did in fact look over to Sola, to make sure that she was okay, as I then all of the sudden nodded to her, as soon as it was that I had in fact looked over to her, just to make sure, as she then did in fact thankfully nod back over to me, to let me know that she was in fact still alive, all at the exact same time as well, which I was in fact glad for if I was not going to lie to my self either.
I let out a bit of a heavy sigh of relief to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that Sola was already going over to where it was that her den was at, on the other side of the clearing, all at the exact same time as well, where it was that her father, and the rest of her family was at, never the less, once again. I grunted quite a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I then quickly looked away from her, as soon as I saw that she was safe.
I then turned my head over to where it was that my den was at, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to walk over to it, all at the exact same time as well, as I with held my self from going up in to the air and flying, as much as I knew that I wanted to do as such a thing, due to the fact that it was going to take me a very long time to walk all that way to the other side of the clearing, to get over to that den, never the less.
I knew that I would have to get over it how ever, as I knew that I did not want to wake the tribe up, as I just shook my head, and I began to start to walk in to the middle of the camp, all at the exact same time as well, which was just where it was that my father's cave was at, as I began to start to head past it, with out any such sort of other thought, all at the exact same time too, as I kept on going over to just where it was that my cave was at, all at the exact same time as well.
Just as I was walking past my father's cave, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to hear some noise from there, that seemed to get my attention, as I then all of the sudden began to start to realize that the noise just so happened to be my father, as I saw that he was at the front of the cave, all at the exact same time as well, almost as if he had known that I was going to be back early never the less, which did in fact surprise me quite a bit, as I blinked my eyes a few times, as it almost seemed like he had known that I was coming.
For all I knew, he might have, as I knew he did in fact have some sort of strange powers at that, never the less. I got my mind and my focus off of all of those thoughts all at once how ever, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that he had his eyes squinted at me a little bit suspiciously, all at the exact same time as well, almost as if he knew what it was that was going on right now, and just what it was that had even happened at that, as I then all of the sudden saw him nod to me, all at the exact same time too, to let me know that he was in fact about to go on ahead and start to speak to me, never the less, as well.
I was still a little bit afraid, if I was not going to lie to my self, but I did in fact go on ahead and start to nod back to him, all at the exact same time too, to let him know that I was in fact paying attention to him, all at the exact same time as well, even as much as I really did not want to. Shortly after it was that he knew that I was in fact paying attention to him, he did in fact go on ahead and begin to speak, as I did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say to me, at that, none the less.
"I see that you're back earlier than expected..."
