(Dragon Wars) Lost Hope

Chapter 12: Vote On It

I blinked my eyes a few times, as it almost seemed to be like there was quite a bit of some chaos going around all around me right at this very moment in time too, which actually in reality was not the case very much to my surprise, all at the exact same time as well, as I could in fact hear a few of the dragons speaking to each other a little bit quietly, but that was about it, as it seemed like the rest of the dragons had their eyes up on to the front, as it was in fact clear that a lot of them did not have a single clue as to just what it was that was going on right at this very moment in time as well.
Maybe it was just a little bit in my head, that this was a bigger deal that I felt like it should be, as it seemed like I saw that a few of the dragons that were here seemed to be a little bit tired, as I saw that a few of them were in fact yawning, as if they were bored with just what it was that was even going on right now, in the very first place any ways, which I really felt like would not be the case, as it seemed like a lot of the dragons were excited for there being a lot of drama.
This just seemed to be boring to them how ever, and I kind of 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 once again, as it felt like there was a lot that was even going on right now, even though it really did not seem like there was all too much that was even going on right at this very moment in time any ways, as it seemed like the crowd was quite a it silent right at this very moment in time too.
I kind of shivered a bit, all at once, as I did my best to try to keep my self calm, as it was clear that most of the dragons that were here right now, were really thinking it was not that big of a deal what so ever. I felt like I should act like them, but I felt like that was a little bit hard if I was not going to lie to my self either, as that had to do with the fact of course that it was my best friend that I had in fact lost in that cave, all at the exact same time as well, as that did in fact hurt me quite a bit.
Not by any means did it mean that it was my fault what so ever, as I did my best to try to calm my self down, all at once, as I knew that as much as things might hurt right now, I knew that every thing was going to be okay for me in the end, and I needed to calm my self down never the less. I knew that I was glad for my father, and my one good friend Sola, as it felt like at this point, for stepping in for me when I needed their help for sure.
I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at once, as I did my best to try to get my mind, and to try to get my focus off of all of those other thoughts once again, either way how ever, as I then all of the sudden shook my head quite a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to go on ahead and begin to get my focus, and I got my eyes back on to the top of the cliff, which was where it was that my father Peota, and Zogan were at right at this very moment in time as well, none the less.
Zogan was staring at my father with a not all too happy look on his face right now, as of course, that was due to the fact that things had not gone the way that Zogan had wanted them to go, and now he was upset with the dragon that he felt like was to blame for it. I was glad that he was no longer angry at me right now, but still, it kind of looked like Zogan was going to fly at my father, and attack him, just as he had done earlier, none the less.
I was a little bit worried about it to, if I was not going to lie to my self either, as that was due to the fact that I knew that when it had happened to me earlier, luckily, he had been far enough away for a bunch of dragons to have seen it coming before hand, all at the exact same time as well. Now, it seemed like he was close enough to simply go in and attack my father, and my father might not see it coming at all, and he might be able to get a cheap shot on my father's soft spot.
I did my best to try to calm my self down, as I knew that it would more than likely not happen, and even if he did attack my father, than my father would be quick enough to see it coming, and he would do some thing about it, as Zogan was in fact a slow black dragon after all, all at the exact same time as well. 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, all at the exact same time too, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of the rest of those other thoughts that I had been thinking on before hand.
I blinked my eyes a few times, as I stared at Zogan for just a little bit longer, as he kept his eyes squinted on my father for quite a bit of some time, until in the end, he then all of the sudden turned his head away from my father, as I then saw that he was now starting to look back at the crowd of bored dragons that were all around him, which I felt like would make him angry to see them that way at first, none the less, as it was clear that this was important to him.
How ever, he just seemed to be blind to all of that, as he simply just went on ahead and began to speak to all of the bored dragons that were even in the crowd right at this very moment in time as well, as it seemed like he was not thinking on any thing else besides the fact that he wanted to get vengeance on a son that I was not all too sure that he even loved all too much in the very first place any ways, never the less.
I did my best to try to calm my self down, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of those other thoughts, as I was sure that was not the case, as my father had told me that there was a special bond between kin, all at the exact same time as well. I just let out quite a bit of a heavy sigh either way, as I wished that Plyma was here, so that he could clear the air, and he could be the one to admit that he was in fact the one who was in the wrong for just what it was that he had done.
I grunted quite a bit heavily to my self, all at once, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of the thoughts that I knew were not true at all, and were in fact not reality what so ever, all at the exact same time as well, as I then just got my mind, and I got my focus on the fact that had to do with Zogan of course, as he was in fact going on ahead and beginning to speak to all of the bored dragons that were even in the clearing right at this very moment in time too, as I did my best to try to calm my self down once again, as I did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say in the very first place any ways, once again.
"Well... You can say what ever it is that you want to say... But I think that we should put a restriction on the fact that there is a bond between red and black dragons... There has been way too much drama as of late between both of the species..." He said to all of the dragons, as I saw him look over to my father at the end of just what it was that he had even said to every one in the very first place any ways, as it was clear that he was being serious with just what it was that he had even just said to all of us, and he wanted my father to know that he was in fact being dead serious with what it was that he had even said, all at the exact same time as well. 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 got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of that other stuff, as I saw them both seem to exchange a bit of some glances at each other, as it was clear that my father was not all too happy with what it was that Zogan was even trying to say right now any ways. Zogan did not seem to care at all what so ever how ever, as he then all of the sudden began to start to look away from Peota, all at the exact same time as well, once it was that it was clear that he had got his point across. He then got his eyes back on to the crowd, as he began to start to speak to all of us once again, as I once again began to start to continue to listen, as much as I did not want to hear as to just what it was that he even had to say to all of us, in the very first place any ways, none the less. "I say that the tribes should not be near each other, and we stick away from each other... That is the only way that we can have peace..."
I looked at Zogan right in to his eyes, as for once, it kind of felt like he did in fact have quite a bit of a fair point if I was not going to lie to my self either, as much as I really did not want to agree with a single word that he had even just said, all at the exact same time as well, I kind of felt like there was a little bit of some truth to it, as I knew that both of the species had been getting in to a little bit of some fights as of late, as I knew that the red and black dragons were not getting along all that well.
I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at once, as I did my best to try to stay as calm as possible, all at the exact same time as well, as I also felt like there was a lot of things that were wrong with just what it was that he had said as well how ever, as I knew that if we were to do that, than I felt like that would be more likely to start some wars, as I felt like it would be more likely to be spreading a lot of rumors among the 2 species, and there would be a lot of stuff going on, either than that.
I did my best to try to calm my self down, all at once, as I then all of the sudden began to start to shake my head a bit to my self, once again, as I did my best to try to calm my self down once again, as I knew that also meant some thing else other than that, which it would in fact mean of course, that the 2 tribes could not be able to meet each other, and it meant that I would not be able to talk to Aitoka at all what so ever, once again.
I knew that I was not all too happy with her right now, especially if what it was that she had said to Zogan was in fact true, and she had said it the way that she had said, but I still knew that it was hard for me to get over the fact that I knew that I had been in love with her, and it was going to hurt me a lot if I was in fact to let her go, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to dip my head quite a bit low once again, at the thought on all of that, as I did my best to try to calm my self down, as I then all of the sudden just shook my head quite a bit to my self, all at once, once again, never the less.
I heard a lot of voices going on all around me right now, as it was clear that what it was that Zogan had said, all at the exact same time as well, as to the fact that there were in fact a lot of red and black dragons that were in fact friends with each other, was clearly causing a lot of drama, and a lot of controversy all the exact same time as well none the less. I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time how ever, either way.
I did my best to try to ignore as to just what it was that some of the dragons were saying to each other right now, as it seemed like there were in fact a lot of dragons that were quite a bit upset by it right now, but there also seemed to be some dragons that also seemed to be agreeing on just what it was that he had said, all at the exact same time as well, as it seemed like there was a split decision between the red and the black dragons alike.
Even with the leaders, as when I looked up at the top of the cliff, I saw that a lot of them were in fact talking to each other, as I saw that they seemed to have quite serious looks on their faces as well, as it was clear that they were in fact thinking through what it was that Zogan had said, and what it was that he had more or less kind of wanted to enforce, rather than suggest, all at the exact same time as well.
I did my best to try to calm my self down either way, in the mean time, as I did my best to try to get my mind, and to try to get my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts that I had in fact been thinking on long before now, once again, as I then all of the sudden began to start to see that my father had began to start to once again step up in front of Zogan, as it was clear that he was beginning to start to speak back to Zogan, all at the exact same time as well.
Based off of the look on his face too, I could tell that it seemed like he was going to say some thing that was going to make Zogan look like a fool, and get the side of the dragons that were in the clearing right now, on to him, as it was in fact quite a bit chaotic right at this very moment in time as well, if I was not going to lie to my self either, as I did my best to try to calm my self down all at once, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of the rest of all of those other thoughts that I had been thinking on before hand.
My father used his loud voice of the dragons to get the attention of the red and black dragons that were in the clearing on to him right now, as I blinked my eyes a few times, 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 got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of those other thoughts once again, as I then began to start to hear my father begin to speak to all of the dragons in a more clear voice, as I did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say to us all in the very first place any ways, none the less.
"So Zogan... What you are telling me right now, is that you want to segregate the black and the red dragons?" He said to Zogan, as I saw that he had a bit of a smirk on his face, as to just what it was that he had even said to Zogan in the very first place any ways, none the less, as it was clear that it had in fact put a bit of a shock on the face of the Zogan, all at the exact same time as well, which kind of put a bit of a smile on my own face, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
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 felt like I possibly could, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to hear the entire clearing full of dragons seemed to go dead silent, as they then began to start to clearly realize that the reality of what it was that my father had even said in the very first place any ways, never the less, as I saw a guilty look on many of the dragons who had thought that what Zogan had said was in fact correct never the less.
Zogan clearly realized the mistake in a little bit of just what it was that he had even said in the very first place any ways, as I could tell he felt like quite a bit of an idiot him self, for saying it to all of us, the way that he had even said it to us all in the very first place any ways, as I kind of just rolled my eyes as a little bit of a response, as I was not all too sure as to just what else it was that I should really do, as I did my best to try to calm my self in the mean time, once again.
It just seemed to be dead silence all around me for quite a bit of some time, all at the exact same time as well, as no one seemed to want to say a single word, as it made sense that no one wanted to step out and say any thing, as it was clear that a few dragons did in fact still agree on just what it was that Zogan had said, but they were a bit too scared to step up and speak for every one else, after just what it was that my father had even said in a response back to Zogan in the very first place any ways, once again, 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 felt like I possibly could in the mean time, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of that, as I then all of the sudden began to start to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at once, once again, as I just seemed to stare up at the tall cliff that was above us once again, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was even about to happen next, once again, never the less.
I could still feel quite a bit of some tension in the air right now, that did in fact feel like it made me feel quite a bit uncomfortable, as I still knew that this was all about me, as I was the one that had brought all of this up in the very first place any ways, even if it was that my name was no long seeming to be brought up any longer, due to the fact that Zogan did not seem to actually care for his son at all, what so ever, as this seemed to be more of a thing that he wanted to do, just as it was that my father had said.
I was not all too sure as to just why it was that Zogan could not see it the way that I saw it, as to the fact that he wanted us to be segregated from the small world that we lived in even more, when we were already segregated from the humans as it was. Though I suppose that was not our fault that we were, but still, I felt like what it was that Zogan was trying the push in fact, would in fact lead to the down fall of all of the tribes, and all of the dragons, as I felt like there would be some wars caused due to this.
I wanted to step up and say some thing, but at the exact same time as well, I really did not want my name to be brought up again, as after all, this was in fact all my fault, even if it was that I knew that it was not my fault at all, I knew that was how it was that was going to be pinned against me no matter what it was that I tried to do, so I felt it best to just stay quiet, and just not say any thing at all, what so ever, and just watch all of this play out the way that it even was going to play out in the very first place any ways, once again, never the less.
I blinked my eyes a few times, all at once, as I once again got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of those other thoughts that I had been thinking on long before now, all at once, as soon as it was that I was now all of the sudden seeing Zogan step up to the top of the cliff, just as he had done not all too much longer before hand, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that he no longer had a guilty look on his face at all, as it was now turned in to a bit more of an angry look.
I really did not want a fight to break out here, as I knew that for a fact, it would not make the ancestors all too happy with us all the exact same time as well, none the less. I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at once, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at the exact same time as well, as I just seemed to stare at the black dragon, as he no longer seemed to be staring at me thankfully enough, as he just looked down at all of the dragons that were below him right at this very moment in time too.
I did my best to try to keep my self calm, as the big black dragon did in fact begin to start to continue to speak to all of the dragons that were below him, just as he had done before, as I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, as I was still a little bit freaked out with just how it felt like things were going so far, in the very first place any ways, though I did my best to once again to try to keep my self calm, all at the exact same time too, as I then went on ahead and nodded a bit to my self, to let my self know that I was in fact paying attention to him right at this very moment in time as well.
Once again, thankfully enough, Zogan did not seem to be paying me any sort of attention at all right now, as he just went on ahead and seemed to just continue to start to speak to all of the dragons that were even below him right at this very moment in time as well, as I let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at once, as I did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say to all of the dragons in the very first place any ways, none the less.
"I would not say segregating because that's too harsh of a word... I would say it is more like the fact that we are splitting apart... The 2 species can not get along, so it is best to not cause any sort of more drama..." He said back to my father, as I was a bit surprised that the dragon had managed to keep him self calm and cool after just what it was that had just happened, and just what it was that my father had said to him in the very first place any ways, once again.
I did my best to try to keep my self as cool as I felt like I could, though I could not help but to notice that there were a lot of dragons, both of the red species, and the black species alike, that for some odd reason seemed to be agreeing on just what it was that Zogan had even said in the very first place any ways, as I felt like they were crazy for it, but then again, I did know that there had been a lot of drama between the 2 tribes as of late, all at the exact same time too.
I did my best to try to stay calm, as I kind of felt like I might just be simply thinking that way, due to the fact that I knew that for some odd reason or another, I was still in love with Aitoka, even if it was that she had in fact lied to Zogan about just what it was that had even happened to Zogan's son in the very first place any ways, whilst it was that we had been in that cave the other night, none the less.
I felt a bit hurt, if I was not going to lie to my self either, as I felt like Plyma would not be all too happy him self on just what it was that his father, and what it was that Aitoka was doing, if he was here him self right now. Though, sadly, that was not the case what so ever right at this very moment in time as well, as it seemed like this was all just based around him, and I was the center of it, as it felt like all of the blame was being put on me for some odd reason or another.
I felt sick, and I felt bad, as I then all of the sudden did in fact go right on ahead and begin to start to dip my head quite a bit low to the ground, all at the exact same time too, as a little bit of a response on just what it was that Zogan had even said in the very first place any ways, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that he was doing, and why it was that he was doing it, but I felt like, it might in fact be for the better, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
I did my best to try to stay as calm as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time, as I was not all too sure as to just what else it was that I should really be doing right at this very moment in time any ways, as I just then all of the sudden began to start to breath in a little bit of a heavy sigh to my self once again, as I then all of the sudden lifted my head back up to the top of the cliff that was in front of me right now, all at the exact same time as well, once again, never the less.
Up top, I saw was in fact my father, as I could tell that he was not all too sure as to just what it was that he should do right now, as he was clearly not all too sure as to just whether or not that this was a good idea, or if this was a bad idea or not. I felt like I could see a lot of good in it, but also a lot of bad, as I felt like one mishap might start an entire war between the species, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
Though, at the exact same time too, I also knew there had been a lot of fights, and a lot of brawls as of late between the 2 species, all at the exact same time as well, as I felt like this very well in fact could in fact be for the better, all at the exact same time too. I blinked my eyes a few times, all at once, as I kept my eyes on my father, and I then began to start to go on ahead and nod to him, as a bit of a response, as it was clear that he was putting the decision up to me, none the less.
I felt like, after what it was that had happened, it was time to get ties with Aitoka sadly, as I just dipped my head a bit low to the ground, all at once, as I still could not help but to feel a little bit hurt by it, and to feel a bit guilty by it, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that from the corner of my eyes, my father had in fact gone on ahead and begins to start to step up and finally speak a bit of his own response to all of the dragons that were even in the clearing right at this very moment in time too.
I did my best to try to stay as calm as I felt like I possibly could, though it was a bit hard, as I felt like I was in a lot of pain right now, for a lot of different reasons, as I knew that I had lost my best friend, and also a dragon that I felt like I had been in love with. I did not want to cause any more drama at all, as I then just let out quite a bit of another soft sigh to my self once again, as I got my mind, and I got my focus on my father as he did in fact begin to start to go on ahead and speak to all of the dragons that were in fact right here right at this very moment in time any ways.
I was in fact paying attention as to just what it was that my father was even about to say in the very first place any ways of course, as after not all too much longer, he did in fact begin to start to speak to all of the dragons that were even right here, and right now, all at the exact same time as well, as I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of the rest of the thoughts that I had in fact been thinking on long before now, as I did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that my father even had to say to all of the dragons that were right in the clearing right at this very moment in time any ways, never the less.
"If this is how things are going to be... And this is what you want... Than I will put it up to the leaders to go vote on it all..."
