(Dragon Wars) Lost Hope

Chapter 25: They Are Coming!

There we were, not just my tribe, but it seemed like there were hundreds of other tribes that were right behind me right now, when I knew that it was simply just a few other tribes, all at the exact same time as well. That was all that we needed, at least that was what it was that I had hoped, and that was what it was that I was in fact fairly certain about, all at the exact same time too, as I knew that no one was supporting Zogan and his tribe after what it was that he had done to my father, none the less.
They knew that we were coming, but I did not care, as for all that I knew that could have moved out of the place that they were staying at, as for all that I knew they could have gone to go and hide, all at the exact same time as well, which made no such sort of sense to me what so ever, as I knew that the dragons only had a small amount of land compared to the humans, all at the exact same time as well, and that it was all taken up by borders of other tribes, none the less.
The only place that they could in fact go, to try to escape us, is the one place that Zogan refused to go, because he was so scared of it, which I could not blame him for the fear, as I knew that he had lost his son there, and I too had seen all that had in fact happened at that place when I had in fact been there, all at the exact same time as well, none the less, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, as I kind of just got my mind, and my focus off of all of those other thoughts.
That was of course the fact that I knew that a part of this all happening was in fact still a bit my fault, as I had been the one that had given Plyma the idea that we should in fact go explore the land that was out side of our place, and I had no expected as to just what it was that had happened, to go on ahead and happen right after that, all at the exact same time too, never the less.
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 too, as I blinked my eyes a few times, and I then all of the sudden kind of just got my mind, and I kind of just got my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts that I had in fact been thinking on long before hand once again, as I just got my mind, and I got my eyes on just what it was around me right now, which was of course the fact that it was just a bunch of trees, as we were getting closer to Zogan's camp.
I blinked my eyes a few times to my self, all at once, as I still was a little bit hesitant about all of this for some odd reason or another, even though I was well aware that this was in fact some thing that needed to happen, all at the exact same time too, never the less, as I got my mind, and I got my focus on the fact that I was now squinting my eyes over in the direction that I knew that the tribe was even at, all at the exact same time as well, as I had been there a few times before.
Even when I had been there, I could not help but to notice the stare that I got from Zogan, all at the exact same time too, as I was fairly certain that he had been planning all of this for a very long time, none the less, as I knew that this was not some thing that had in fact just happened out of the blue, all at the exact same time too, as I knew that this was some thing that was simply just his hatred for red dragons, which made no sense, as his wife was in fact a red dragon her self, none the less.
I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at once, as I then all of the sudden began to start to get my mind, and I began to start to get my focus more or less on the fact that there was now all of the sudden a dragon that had seemed to catch up to me, all at the exact same time as well, as I quickly turned my head over to the dragon, and I saw that it just so happened to be Sola, and not Socra.
I was a bit surprised by it, as it felt like I would have thought that she would have tried to shy away from me, and the fact that she had known that I was doing my job as a leader right now, but that did not seem to be the case what so ever, as I kind of felt a bit bad for it as well, as I kind of felt like I had in fact been ignoring her, and that I had not been speaking to her as much as of late, ever sense it was that I had in fact began to take over as the leader of my tribe, never the less.
I did my best to try to hide the look of guilt from my face, all at the exact same time too, as I kind of just got my mind, and I kind of just got my focus on to the fact that more or less had to do with me needing to go on ahead and start to nod to her, in which I did, as it was clear that she had in fact come up to me, and she had in fact began to start to want to speak to me, all at the exact same time as well. I let her know that I was in fact paying attention to her, never the less, once again.
Once it was that I had in fact done as such a thing like that, that was when I then all of the sudden began to start to hear her voice, as she did in fact go right on ahead and start to speak to me, all at the exact same time as well, 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 did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that she had come over to say to me, all at the exact same time as well, none the less, at that.
"I am sorry about all of this Himla... I did not mean to do all of this... If I would have known that Zogan would have done all of this, than I would have tried to help Plyma out of the cave... I am so sorry..." She said to me, as I saw that she felt quite a bit bad, and she did in fact feel quite a bit guilty about all of this, all at the exact same time as well, which I kind of felt like made no such sort of sense to me what so ever, all at the exact same time as well, as I squinted my eyes at her, all at once, and I titled my head to her, all at the exact same time too.
I could tell for a fact that it did not make her feel any such sort of better about all of this what so ever, all at the exact same time too, 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 too, as I then all of the sudden saw her start to dip her head a bit low to the ground, all at the exact same time too, as she kept on flying right beside me in the process of doing as such a thing as she was doing, all at the exact same time too.
That was when it then all of the sudden began to kind of start to hit me, all at the exact same time as well, as to just what it was that was even going on right now, in the very first place any ways, as I then all of the sudden kind of just got my mind, and I kind of just got my focus on the thoughts that more or less had to do with me needing to go right on ahead and start to speak back to her.
It was clear that she was kind of viewing the fact that I had not been speaking to her as much as of late, as to the fact that she felt like I was kind of blaming her for the death of my father, which I could see how in her eyes, she would think that it was her own fault, as I knew that she had been the one to step up that night, all at the exact same time as well, and to tell us that we should in fact not be going after Plyma in the cave, all at the exact same time as well.
I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, as I knew that it was not her fault what so ever, all at the exact same time too, as I kind of just more or less got my mind, and I kind of just got my focus off of all of the rest of that other stuff that I had in fact been thinking on long before now, as I then all of the sudden began to start to get my mind, and I began to start to get my focus on the fact that felt like had to do with me needing to calm her down.
She was freaked out right now, as far as I could tell, as I knew that she needed to not be that way, especially since the fact that we were about to go in to a very important battle, all at the exact same time as well, as it was kind of stressing me out my self if I was not going to lie to my self either, which I felt like I knew for a fact that I did not want that to be the case for me, since I was leading us in to war, all at the exact same time too.
I just kind of shook my head to Sola, all of the sudden, all at the exact same time as well, as I did my best to try to calm my self down in the mean time, as I then all of the sudden began to start to notice that it kind of confused her as to just what it was that I was even getting at, as it was clear to me right now, that she did in fact have her mind on a whole lot of different thoughts that seemed to not be very good thoughts what so ever, all at the exact same time too, none the less.
Once it was that I had seen her tilt her head to me, all at the exact same time as well, that was when I then all of the sudden decided that I was in fact going to go on ahead and start to speak to her, as it was clear to me that she was paying attention to me right now, as I did in fact begin to start to do as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too, as I then began to start to speak to her, as I knew that she was in fact beginning to start to listen as to just what it was that I was about to go right on ahead and start to say to her, all at the exact same time too.
"No Sola... None of this is your fault at all... This was in the making for a while... Zogan was just looking for his excuse... It's sickening to me... It is like he almost did not care about his son..." I said to her, all at the exact same time as well, as I kind of began to start to express the way that I was in fact thinking, right at this very moment in time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to get my mind, and I began to start to get my focus off of all of that other stuff that had to do with Zogan, all at the exact same time too, none the less.
I felt like Plyma had learned plenty from Zogan, as much as it was that he had been my best friend, all at the exact same time too, as I had seen the way that he had acted in that cave, all at the exact same time as well, as I kind of had already known that Plyma had a bit of an ego, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that for sure was some thing that he had got from his father, as his father felt like black dragons were all more superior than red dragons, none the less.
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 too, as I kind of just more or less got my mind, and I kind of just more or less got my focus on the thoughts that had to do with me needing to go right on ahead and start to ignore Sola, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that she was causing too much stress, and too much tension on me right now, all at the exact same time too, never the less.
Sola clearly noticed that all at the exact same time as well, as even though I had my eyes ahead of me right at this very moment in time too, I could still see the look that was on her face right now, from the corner of my eyes, 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 too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time as well.
I kind of rolled my eyes once again, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was even going on with my friend right now, all at the exact same time as well, as I kind of just more or less got my mind, and I kind of just got my focus on the fact that had to do with me needing to just keep on going on ahead, and that I needed to just leave my friend behind with the rest of the tribe, all at the exact same time as well, which I was about to speed up to do, until I then all of the sudden began to start to hear her speak to me once again, just as she had been doing long before hand.
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 too, as I once again began to start to turn my head over to her, all at the exact same time as well, as I let out quite a bit of a heavy sigh to my self, all at the exact same time too, which she thankfully did not seem to notice, due to the fact that the wind was blowing against our faces right now, all at the exact same time too, once again, none the less.
As soon as it was that I had in fact stared over to her, I did in fact begin to start to nod to her, all at the exact same time as well, to let her know that I was in fact paying attention as to just what it was that she was in fact about to go right on ahead and say to her, all at the exact same time too, even though I knew that I really did not want to hear as to just what it was that she was in fact about to go on ahead and say to me, once again, none the less.
Once it was that I had in fact done as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too, that was when I then all of the sudden began to start to go right on ahead and begin to start to hear her begin to start to speak to me, all at the exact same time as well, as I then began to start to listen as to just what it was that she even had to say to me, all at the exact same time as well, none the less, once again.
"I am sorry for bothering you Himla... I know you are worried as it is..." She said to me, as I could once again see the same look of guilt that she had on her face long before now, all at the exact same time too, as it was clear that she had felt quite a bit bad for what it was that she was doing, all at the exact same time as well, as it was clear to me that she had in fact noticed the look that I did in fact have on my face, all at the exact same time too, once again, none the less.
I felt quite a bit bad for it, as I knew that it was only due to the fact that I felt like I was worried as it was right now, and I really did not want her to feel like she was to blame for all of this, all at the exact same time as well, but I really was just not all too sure as to just what it was that I should even do, all at the exact same time as well, none the less, as I kind of just shook my head a bit to my self, once again, as I then all of the sudden began to start to see that she was now starting to slow her self down for the rest of the tribe to catch up to her, none the less.
This time I let out quite a bit of a soft sigh to my self, as I felt bad about all that had even happened right then and there, but I also kind of knew that there was not all too much that I could have done about all of that, as I knew that I could not give her a whole speech about how none of this was her fault, as I knew that my focus did in fact need to be on the battle that we were in fact about to go right on ahead and head in to, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
I blinked my eyes a few times, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to nod a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I got my eyes, and I got my focus on the fact that I knew that I once again did not need to get off track, as I knew that I needed to continue to take the tribe over to where it was that Zogan's tribe was even at, all at the exact same time as well, so that it was that we could in fact finish the job that he had in fact started, all at the exact same time too, once again.
Once it was that I had in fact got my mind, and I had in fact got my focus on all of that, that was when I then began to start to speed up, which I felt a bit bad for the rest of the tribe for, all at the exact same time as well, as I kind of just had my mind, and I kind of just had my focus on the fact that had to do with me needing to go right on ahead and begin to start to get my focus on the fact that there was some slower dragons that were at the back, all at the exact same time too.
I just kind of felt like I could not help but to be excited as to the fact that I was going to be the one that was going to kill Zogan, all at the exact same time as well, as it kind of felt a bit twisted as to the fact that I was even thinking that kind of way, all at the exact same time as well, but I really just did not care what so ever right now, at all, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew what it was that needed to be done, and I knew that no one was going to judge me for it.
I knew that they all knew that Zogan had broke the rules, and that he had killed my father in a ruthless way in front of so many other dragons, all at the exact same time too, as I kind of just got my mind, and I kind of just got my focus more or less on to the fact that I knew had to do with me needing to go right on ahead and start to go on ahead and think on just how it was that I was on fact going to do as such a thing once I got the chance.
I knew that I really did not want to challenge him to a duel, all at the exact same time as well, as I felt like for all that I knew, the same thing that had happened to my father Peota, would in fact happen to me, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that was not at all some thing that I was in fact willing to risk what so ever, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that he had already shown enough evil in him before hand, once again.
Though, I also knew that he was a black dragon, and he might not need help against a young red dragon like me, all at the exact same time too, as I kind of felt like for all that I really knew, all at once, that I could in fact have to be dealing with the fact that he could take me down, unless it was that I used this fight to my advantage, all at the exact same time as well, which of course the first step to that was the fact that we were flying to their camp in the middle of the night.
I knew that we were going to win, so there was nothing that I needed to worry about what so ever, at all, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to get my mind, and I began to start to get my focus on that once again, that was of course until I then began to start to hear more dragon wings from right behind me, all at the exact same time as well, as it was clear that some one once again had caught up to me, to go right on ahead and speak to me, just as it was that Sola had done before.
I thought that it was Sola, all at the exact same time too, as I went on ahead and begin to start to grunt quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time too, and I then all of the sudden did in fact begin to start to go right on ahead and start to speak up to her, all at the exact same time as well, so that it was that she could in fact hear as to just what it was that I even had to say to her, all at the exact same time as well, none the less, as I wanted her to know that this was in fact serious, all at the exact same time too.
"What do you want? I need my focus to be on Zogan!" I said to her, all at once, as I then all of the sudden began to start to turn my head over to the dragon, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that much to my surprise, that the dragon that was in fact right with me right now was not at all Sola at all, all at the exact same time too, as it was instead my father's best friend, Socra, all at the exact same time too, as I was now all of the sudden beginning to start to feel quite a bit bad for the way that I had said things to her, all at the exact same time too, as I knew that if it had been Sola that had been the dragon that had come up to me, I still had been quite a bit rude, all at the exact same time as well, never the less. I kind of just did my best to try to keep my self as calm 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 go right on ahead and begin to start to blink my eyes a few times over to Socra, all at the exact same time too, as I really had not meant as to just what it was that I had in fact just said to her, all at the exact same time too, and the tone of the voice that I had in fact said it to her, all at the exact same time too. I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at once, as I saw that her eyes were in fact squinted on me, all at the exact same time too, which did in fact make me gulp quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time as well, 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 then all of the sudden began to start to speak to her, all at once, as a little bit of an apology, all at the exact same time too, as I knew that she was in fact listening as to just what it was that I was even about to say to her, all at the exact same time too, once again. "I'm sorry Socra... I thought that you were some one else..."
I blinked my eyes a few times, all at the exact same time as well, as I also still kind of felt quite a bit bad as to just what it was that I had in fact said to her at the end of it all, all at the exact same time as well, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, as I kind of felt like I had made a little bit of a mistake once again, as to just what it was that I had in fact said to her, all at the exact same time too.
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 too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to dip my head a little bit low to the ground, all at the exact same time as well, as to the fact that I knew that I should not be speaking to any of my tribe mates the way that I had just done, all at the exact same time as well, as I felt like she was in fact going to bring that up to me, all at the exact same time too.
I knew that I had never heard my father be that way to any of his tribe mates at all, what so ever, when ever it was that he had in fact been the leader, all at the exact same time too, as I knew that I should not be the way that I was being right now, as I knew that I had to learn from example, all at the exact same time too, as I felt quite a bit bad, and I felt quite a bit guilty as to just what it was that I had in fact done, all at the exact same time too, as I just continued to stare down at the trees that were below me.
I saw that from the corner of my eyes how ever, it did not seem to be like Socra was all too bothered with it any more, such as it was that it had kind of seemed like she had first been, all at the exact same time too, as it kind of seemed like she was now all of the sudden a little bit more under standing as to just why it was that I had in fact been the way that I had in fact been, all at the exact same time too, once again, never the less.
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 too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to go right on ahead and begin to start to see that she began to start to speak back to me, all at the exact same time as well, as I suppose that was the reason as to just why it was that she had in fact been flying over to me in the very first place any ways, once again, as I kind of just did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at the exact same time too.
I blinked my eyes a few times, all at once, as I then just seemed to stare at her, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden just began to start to go right on ahead and start to nod over to her, all at once, to let her know that I was in fact paying attention as to just what it was that she was in fact about to go right on ahead and start to say to me, all at the exact same time as well, once again, as I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time too.
I stared out in to the darkness for just a little bit longer, that was of course when she did in fact begin to start to go right on ahead and begin to start to continue to speak to me, all at the exact same time as well, as I let out quite a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I was worried that she was going to give me some stern words, all at the exact same time as well, as I did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that she even had to say to me, all at the exact same time as well.
"You are fine Himla... I am just letting you know that we are about to get to their camp... So you need to be ready for all of this... This is going to be worse than the last one, believe it or not..." She said to me, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that she clearly had a bit of a serious look on her face, all at the exact same time as well, as to just what it was that she had in fact even said to me, all at 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, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to get my mind, and I began to start to get my focus on the fact that had to do with more or less, the fact that I knew that I needed to do as to just what it was that she had said, as it was clear that it was in fact a reminder that things weren't just going to be as easy as it was that I had in fact planned.
I just still was not all too sure as to just how it was that she could say that things were going to be worse this time, all at the exact same time as well, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was worse than losing my father, all at the exact same time as well, none the less, as I knew that my father had meant every thing to me, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
Though I felt like I could not speak too soon, as I knew that none of this would end of course until Zogan was dead, as I was sure that Zogan would make it be as to just where it was that he had in fact every single dragon fight until they were all dead, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that was just the type of dragon that Zogan was, all at the exact same time as well, as it seemed like he did not value the life of dragons as much as he should, which it was clear to me.
I kind of just shook my head a bit to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could once again, as I knew that I needed to stop being as freaked out as it did in fact seem like I was right now, all at the exact same time as well, as I kind of just got my mind, and I had kind of just got my focus off of all of that other stuff, all at the exact same time as well, none the less, at that.
I blinked my eyes a few times, all at once, as I kind of just began to start to go on ahead and start to stare out in to the distance, all at the exact same time too, as I could in fact see that from not all too far away from me, all at the exact same time as well, there was in fact the camp of Zogan's tribe, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to gulp at the sight of it, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew exactly what it was that this would mean.
I was scared, and I was freaked out, if I was not going to lie to my self, the more that I began to start to continue to think on it all, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that I was scared about losing a lot of friends, and the rest of the loved ones that I had left with me, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that I had in fact lost enough as it was for the time being, all at the exact same time too.
How ever, I knew that no matter what, it would not end until Zogan was dead, as I knew that I did not have much of any other choice, all at the exact same time too, as I kind of just did my best to try to keep my self as calm 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 go right on ahead and turn my head back over to Socra, all at the exact same time as well, as I wanted her to know that I was in fact taking all of this very seriously, all at the exact same time too, once again.
As I stood there for just a little bit longer, that was when I then all of the sudden began to start to nod back to her, all at the exact same time as well, to let her know that I was finally about to go right on ahead and start to speak to her, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to see her nod back to me as a bit of a response, all at the exact same time too, to let me know that she was in fact paying attention as to just what it was that I was about to say to her, none the less.
It did in fact make me feel a lot better to see her do as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time as well, if I was in fact going to be for real with my self, all at the exact same time too, as I kind of just more or less went on right ahead and begin to start to speak to her, all at the exact same time as well, now that it was that I did in fact know for a fact 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, none the less.
"Yes... I am ready Socra... This needs to be done..." I said to her, all at the exact same time as well, as I stared at her as soon as it was that I had in fact said as to just what it was that I had in fact said to her, all at the exact same time as well, once again, 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 too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to see that Socra was now all of the sudden beginning to start to turn her head away from me all of the sudden, for some odd reason or another, once again.
I was quite a bit lost by it, if I was not going to lie to my self either, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at once, as I then all of the sudden began to start to go right on ahead and begin to start to see that she nodded to who ever it was that was behind her, all at the exact same time as well, which I was once again quite a bit lost about, as I was tempted to turn my head fully around, but that would mean that I would stop us all when we were so close, which did not make all too much sense to me.
Instead, I just kind of kept my eyes mainly focused on the tribe camp that was not all too far ahead of us right at this very moment in time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to get my mind, and I then all of the sudden began to start get my focus on the fact that I was now all of the sudden beginning to start to hear a bunch of wings flapping from right behind me, all at the exact same time as well, as it was clear that there were several dragons starting to speed up to catch up to me.
I was a bit lost, and I was a bit upset at first, as to just what it was that Socra was even doing right now, as to the fact that I felt like I did not need help going in to battle what so ever right now, all at the exact same time too, as I was quite a bit upset by it, all at the exact same time as well, that was of course until I then kind of turned my head over to where it was that I heard all of the wings flapping right at this very moment in time too, as I then began to start to realize as to just what it was that was even going on right now.
It was clear to me, all at the exact same time too, that there was in fact a few dragons that were coming with me, as I saw that the dragon that was at the front of them all, was in fact Omplo, all at the exact same time too, as well as the other ones that were behind him, as I saw that they were in fact leaders of a few other red dragon tribes, all at the exact same time too, once again, never the less.
That did in fact make me feel a bit better, and I felt soothed quite a bit, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to get my eyes, and I began to start to get my focus back on to the fact that I saw that there was in fact Zogan's camp, all at the exact same time as well, and also much to my surprise, all at the exact same time as well, none the less, there were in fact a bunch of them that were in fact out right now, as they were looking around all over the place, as it was clear that they knew they were coming.
That was fine by me, as I knew that it did not surprise me what so ever, as of course Zogan should think that we would fight back against the evil stint that he had in fact pulled, all at the exact same time too, as I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I felt completely calm, as we drew closer, that was of course until I then began to start to hear the loud voice of a dragon as it was clear that he was trying to warn his tribe, all at the exact same time too, as he had some how seen us through the dark night.
How ever, the voice that I heard was oh so familiar, as it kind of made my heart stop, all at the exact same time as well, 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 then all of the sudden began to start to stop with where it was that I was flying right now, as it made sense as to how it was that this dragon could in fact see us, all at the exact same time as well.
The dragon just so happened to, none other than the voice of Plyma, as I was in so much shock, that I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should do right now, all at the exact same time as well, as I heard the wings stop from all of the dragons behind me, as it was clear that they were confused as to just what it was that I was doing, as I then all of the sudden began to start to go right on ahead and start to listen as to just what it was that Plyma even had to say, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
"The red dragons! They are coming!"
