(Dragon Wars) Lost Hope

Chapter 17: Coming For Us

I stared at the tree that was in front of me, as it seemed like that was all that it was that I had been doing the last few days, was just staring out in to the middle of no where in some woods, as I had not much of a clue as to just what else it was that I should do, as I knew that I was where it was that my father had asked me to be at, which was of course the fact that I was dead set in the center of the border between one red dragon tribe, to the next one, which of course happened to be our own tribe, that I was bordering.
I was so bored, and I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should do, as I had been sitting with the most boring dragon in the world in my eyes, which of course just so happened to be my father's best friend, Socra, as she had been staring at the same trees that I had been staring at, and any time it did in fact seem like one of us was to speak, it was a short and quite a bit of a boring sentence that it was that we both said to each other.
I knew that I was a lot to blame for that as much as she was, but if I was going to be for real with my self, there was not all too much that I really had to speak about in the very first place any ways, as we had simply been staying in this same spot for a long time, and any thing that did happen, which was never when ever there was some thing to happen, the both of us were going to see it, so there really was no real reason to talk about it in the very first place any ways, once again.
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, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts that I had in fact been thinking on long before now, as I just began to start to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, as I stared at the mist and the cold air that came out of my mouth when ever it was that I even did in fact begin to breath in the very first place any ways.
It was not more just due to the fact that it was cold, so much as it was due to the fact that it was early in the morning right at this very moment in time as well, as I began to start to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at once, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts that I had in fact been thinking on long before now, all at the exact same time as well, as I just began to start to close my eyes.
I was so tired, as I knew that I had not got to sleep all that well as of late, as a lot of that had to do with the fact that it did in fact kind of feel like I was quite a bit stressed out with all that was even going on right now in the very first place any ways, but it also kind of felt like a lot of it had to do with the fact that I did in fact that I just felt a bit empty in side, and I kind of felt like a lot of this was my fault, no matter how many times it was that some one was in fact to tell me that it wasn't.
I just wanted to wash it all away, and just get my mind, and my focus off of all of it, but it was a bit hard, when I knew that if I felt any sort of emotion, or if I felt any thing what so ever, at all right now, than I felt like Socra might go right on ahead and snitch on me to my father once again, as I had in fact kind of felt like she had always been a little bit jealous that she had not got to be the deputy of the tribe over me, since she was in fact, after all, best friends with my father.
I did my best to just try not to think on that all too much once again, as I kind of shook my head quite a bit to my self all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to get my mind, and get my focus on the thoughts that more or less had to do with the fact that I knew that it was just about time for me to rest my self for a bit, as I kind of felt like things were going to be fine, and if any thing was to happen, I was sure that Socra was going to wake me.
As I relaxed my self, and I did in fact calm my self down a bit, I then all of the sudden did in fact begin to start to get my self in to a bit of a deep state of mind, and I got my self in to my sub conscious, all at the exact same time as well, as I did in fact fall fast asleep soon after all of that was in fact all said and all done, all at the exact same time as well, once again, never the less.

I woke up, and I saw some light, as I was quite a bit lost as to just what it was that was going on, and just what it was that was going on with me right at this very moment in time as well, as I felt like I was deep in to some woods, and there should not be nearly as much light as there was right at this very moment in time, in the very first place any ways, once again, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts that I had in fact once again been thinking on long before now, as well.
I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I had been thinking on right now if I was not going to lie to my self, as it kind of seemed like I had got to this nasty smelling place in the middle of no where, as I knew that I had fallen asleep in some clean and some fresh woods, but now it smelt like where ever it was that I was at right now, smelt quite a bit musty right at this very moment in time as well, as I did my best to try to calm my self down, and get my mind off of all of that.
Where was I at right now? Had I slept so long that I had some how missed the entire war, and the entire battle, and the smell that I smelt right now happened to be the smell of fire, and the smell of ashes of many dragons that I had been with all at the exact same time as well, even though I did in fact once again start to realize that that too did not make all too much sense what so ever, at all, as I knew that I had in fact been with Socra, and there had been no other dragons around us at that time, what so ever.
If I was not in the woods right now, than where was it that I was at right at this very moment in time? I did not have a single clue if I was going to be for real with my self, as I did my best to try to calm my self down, and to try to get my mind, and to get my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to notice that my vision was now all of the sudden beginning to change.
I was starting to move back a bit from the light right at this very moment in time as well, as it kind of seemed like the light that had in fact been in front of me right at that very moment in time as well, as I now all of the sudden began to start to see that the bright light that I had in fact seen just a few moments ago, was now all of the sudden just a little bit of a crack from a long distance away, as it seemed like it was simply now all of the sudden just a little glimmer from a long ways from where I was at now.
I breathed in quite a bit to my self all at once, all at the exact same time as well, once again, 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 the rest of those other thoughts that I had in fact been having my mind on long before now, once again, as I just got my mind, and I got my focus more on the fact that it was clearly some thing as to where I was stuck under ground, or under neath some thing that was why it was that it was so hard for me to breath right now.
I was still quite a bit lost as to just how it was that I had even got in to the place, and in to this situation in the very first place any ways, if I was not going to lie to my self either, but I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time once again, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of that once again, as I knew that was besides the point, as I felt like I needed to some how find a way out of here, since it was in fact so hard for me to breath right now, in the very first place any ways, once again.
If there was in fact some bright light right now, in the very first place any ways, than I felt like I needed to go over to that, as I was in fact fairly certain that was the best way for me to get out, or to perhaps have to dig out, though I was not all too sure as to just why it was that I had even thought about that in the very first place any ways, if I was going to be for real with my self, and I was in fact going to be dead serious with my self, all at the exact same time too, once again.
I breathed in quite a bit to my self all at once, as I then did in fact begin to start to walk slowly, and I walked closer over to just where it was that I saw the light at right at this very moment in time, in the very first place any ways, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was going on right at this very moment in time any ways, as it seemed like I could in fact hear quite a bit of some noise as soon as it was that I did in fact seem to draw closer to the light, once again.
I did my best to try to calm my self down, as I squinted my eyes through all of the darkness that was all around me right at this very moment in time any ways, as I saw that the noise that I had heard, just so happened to be the voice of a dragon right at this very moment in time any ways, as I was quite a bit lost by it, and I was in fact quite a bit lost as to just what it was that was even going on right now in the very first place any ways, once again.
I did my best to try to calm my self down as best as I could once again, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts just as I had in fact been doing long before now, as I then instead got my mind on the fact that the dragon that I did in fact hear speaking, as it seemed like it was speaking to its self, rather than it was speaking to me right at this very moment in time any ways, once again, just so happened to seem to be a familiar dragon.
I was a bit lost as to just as to why that was in fact the case at first, until it then all of the sudden began to start to kind of hit me a bit, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to notice that what ever it was that I was staring at right now, was a purple dragon of course, which was a rare thing in it's self, but this dragon was a lot different than even the rest of those dragons, as I then began to start to realize as to just who it was that I was even staring at right at this very moment in time any ways.
The dragon that I was staring at right at this very moment in time just so happened to be the fact that it was my best friend Plyma, as I saw that due to the fact that I had good vision in the dark, that my friend clearly did not seem to have an all too happy look on his face right at this very moment in time as well, which seemed to be a normal thing for my friend for one thing, but in this case, that did not seem to be what it was that I was thinking on right now.
I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, as I had a lot of thoughts that were in fact going on through my head right at this very moment in time as well, as I knew that one of those thoughts just so happened to be of course, which was the fact that I felt like my friend was dead, though the area that I was in right at this very moment in time right now, any ways, seemed to be oddly, and it seemed to be quite a bit vaguely familiar to me, all at the exact same time as well, which I kind of felt like was a bit strange to me.
I did my best to try to calm my self down, as I began to start to remember that my friend was supposed to be dead. Where was I at right now then? Was I dead too? I felt like the best way to find out was to go on ahead and try to talk to my friend right at this very moment in time as well, as I did my best to try to calm my self down all at the exact same time as well, as I still did my best to try to clear my mind from all of the thoughts that I had in fact been thinking on before.
I seemed to just stare for just a bit longer, until I then all of the sudden began to start to think on just what it was that I was even about to go on ahead and say to him in the very first place any ways, as I was quite a bit lost by it at first, until some thing seemed to come in to my head, as to just what it was that I should even say to him, as I then all of the sudden began to start to go on right ahead and begin to start to speak to him all of the sudden, once again.
"Plyma! Where are we right now? I thought you were dead!" I yelled to him, to try to get his attention on to me, and off of what ever strange thing it was that he Was doing right at this very moment in time as well, as I seemed to see that he was digging, scratching, and he was pulling at some stuff that were near the white crack of light that was in front of the both of us right at this very moment in time as well, once again, at that.
As I seemed to just stare for a little bit longer, that was when I then all of the sudden began to start to realize as to just where it was that we were at right at this very moment in time as well, as I saw quite a few things that had seemed to be quite a bit familiar to me, all at the exact same time as well, once again, none the less. I did my best to try to calm down, as I knew that we were in the cave that we were at the night that we had seen that human.
At least it seemed like it was, as I was looking all around me, and as much as it has seemed like that night had gone by so fast to me, and it had gone by in such a blur to me, I was starting to see quite a bit of some things that did in fact seem to be quite a bit familiar to me, all at the exact same time as well, once again. I was not all too sure as to just why that was the case if I was not going to lie to my self once again, but I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time once again, as I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self once again, as I then began to start to look away from all of that.
I was just quite a bit shocked as to just where it was that I was at right at this very moment in time any ways, all at the exact same time as well, as I just 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, as I shivered all at the exact same time as well, as I had a lot of thoughts that seemed to just be taking control over my head right at this very moment in time too, that it felt like were nearly in fact impossible to control.
Such as the fact that I was quite a bit lost as to just how it was that I had in fact got back in to this cave my self, all at the exact same time as well, never the less, as I knew that I had been a long ways away. Not only that, but there was also the fact that I was lost as to just how it was that I had in fact got in to this cave in the very first place any ways, as I had in fact began to start to remember that the cave that I was in right now had in fact collapsed on us, and it had in fact killed Plyma.
At least, so it was that I had thought to be the case, as I looked back over to my friend, and I had my head tilted over towards him, all at the exact same time as well, as I was quite a bit lost, and I was quite a bit surprised as to just what it was that I was even looking at right at this very moment in time any ways, and also the fact as to just how it was that this had all happened to him, as I could clearly tell that my once healthy friend right now, was in fact not in the best of shape right now.
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 the rest of those other thoughts that I had in fact been thinking on long before now of course, as I just seemed to stare at the purple dragon that was in fact in front of my eyes right now any ways. I still had a lot of questions, which I felt like I did in fact need answers to soon, as I did not have a single clue as to just what it was that was even going on right at this very moment in time any ways, all at once.
I just stared at my friend for a bit more time, as I then all of the sudden began to start to hear the voice of Plyma, as he began to start to speak, which I felt like he was finally responding to just what it was that I had even said to him, and just what it was that I had even asked him a few moments before hand, once again, as I still was not all too sure about any of this, and not all too sure as to just what it was that was even going on right at this very moment in time any ways.
I breathed in quite a bit to my self, as I did my best to just try to calm my self down as much as I felt like I possibly could, as I then all of the sudden began to start to go on ahead just nod to my friend all at once, to let him know that I was in fact paying attention to him right at this very moment in time any ways, once again, as I knew that he was not paying me any sort of attention as to just what it was that I was even doing right now at all.
He simply just seemed to continue to speak to who ever it was that he felt like he wanted to speak to right at this very moment in time any ways, as I did my best to try to calm my self down, as I then began to start to hear my friend begin to continue to speak to me, as I then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say to me, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
"I can't wait til I get the hell out of here... They really did betray me huh? I will show them..." He said to him self, as I began to realize, as it was clear that he had not been speaking to me what so ever, all at the exact same time as well, as it almost seemed like he was either ignoring me, due to the fact that he was upset with me right now, as it seemed like based off of just what it was that he had in fact said, all at the exact same time too, 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.
Surely he had at the very least heard what it was that I had said right, and he might think that I was going to help him get out of the cave collapse, which I was now starting to realize that he had in fact survived, all at the exact same time as well, though I still was not all too sure as to just how it was that I had even got to this place in the very first place any ways, if I was going to be for real with my self once again, I kind of felt like it really did not matter all too much to me what so ever either way, as I just got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of those other thoughts once again.
He was alive, and that was all that mattered, as I was glad for it, even if what it was that he had said did in fact kind of hurt me quite a bit, as to the fact that he had said that us, as I was sure that he was talking about me, Sola, and Aitoka, had in fact betrayed him, as a part of me wanted to say that it was not true what so ever, but I did in fact still remember as to the fact that we had in fact given up on our friend, and we had just left him in that cave to go on ahead and die.
I felt quite a bit bad about it, if I was not going to lie to my self either, as I then all of the sudden began to start to dip my head quite a bit low to the ground, all at the exact same time as well, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts that I had in fact had my mind on long before now, as I then all of the sudden began to start to shake my head quite a bit to my self once again, as I just began to start to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, as I began to start to go on ahead and close my eyes.
I felt quite a bit bad for all of this if I was not going to lie to my self, as I was now starting to realize as to just why it was that Zogan, and Aitoka were in fact quite a bit upset at me, as I had in fact just given up on my friend, and I had not even tried to to and help him, and I had not tried to go and save him what so ever. Now he was going to get out of here, and he was going to be even more angry than he had been before, all at the exact same time as well, as I felt quite a bit sick due to all of that if I was not going to lie to my self either, once again.
I breathed in quite a bit to my self, as I did my best to just 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, as I could still hear the rattling, and the digging as to was clear to me right at this very moment in time as well, that my friend was in fact still trying to dig his way out of the cave that he was still stuck in right at this very moment in time as well.
It was starting to hit me more and more, once again, as I knew that he had not ignored me what so ever, all at the exact same time as well, as it was clear to me that I was not actually with him right at this very moment in time at all, as I knew that I could help him if needs be, but for some odd reason or another, it was clear that I could not due as such a thing at all.
What ever it was that was going on right at this very moment in time any ways, it was clear to me that I was in a dream, or I was perhaps having a vision of some thing that was going on right now any ways, as I felt like the best way for me to go and help my friend right now, was to get my self out of this dream, and I needed to go and help my friend, all at the exact same time as well, once again, as I got my mind, and I got 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.
I breathed in a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at once, as it seemed like as soon as it was that I had in fact realized that I was not actually there with my friend, all at the exact same time as well, as, as soon as it was that I had in fact opened my eyes, that was of course when it was that I then all of the sudden began to start to notice, and I began to start to realize all at once, that I was now gone, and I was now all of the sudden out of the dream that I had just been in a few moments before hand, once again.
