(Dragon Wars) Lost Hope

Chapter 27: Fast Enough

It was chaos all around me, as I could see the scared looks on the faces of all of the black dragons from a long distance away, which I could not blame them for, as I knew that even if they had in fact been ready, and that they had in fact been expecting all of this, it still made sense to me as to the fact that they would be afraid of us, as for one thing, I knew that for a fact, that there was a lot more of us than there were them, all at the exact same time as well, which I knew made sense, as I knew that no one supported what it was that Zogan was doing any more.
I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self all at once, as for some odd reason or another, I did in fact crack a smile on my face, all at the exact same time as well, as I heard the wings of all of the other dragons that were in fact with me right now, from right behind me, all at the exact same time too, as it did in fact feel quite a bit good for me to the fact that there were in fact a lot of dragons that did in fact support me, and support what it was that I was in fact doing right now, all at the exact same time as well, once again.
As I drew closer to the place how ever, I could not make any mistake what so ever, as the dragon stood our among the rest of them, due to the fact that he was a purple dragon among a bunch of black dragons, all at the exact same time as well, as of course it just so happened to be my best friend Plyma, as I saw that he did in fact have his eyes squinted at me, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
I gulped, as I was quite a bit freaked out by it, if I was not going to lie to my self either, 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 in the mean time, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to freak out a bit, as I was fairly certain that I could not beat my friend in a 1 on 1 fight, all at the exact same time as well, if it was that he did in fact challenge me to one.
Even if I could, I was kind of scared that he was going to do the exact same thing that it was that his father had in fact done. Even though, he had in fact told me time and time again that he was nothing like his father at all, I kind of felt like I could not help but to be a little bit worried about that, and whether or not it was that he was in fact being truthful with what it was that he had said, 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 in the mean time, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that I needed to calm my self down either way, as I knew that it was far too late for me to turn back at this point, as I knew that we were not going to lose this fight at all, and that Zogan was going to be dead by the end of this, when all was in fact said and done, all at the exact same time as well, once again.
The question was, if whether or not I was going to be alive when all was said and done, all at the exact same time too. Though, I suppose, this was for the death of my father, that Zogan had done, as it had been a straight up, and it had been a blatant murder, all at the exact same time as well. Not only that, but also the fact that I knew that it just so happened to be that if I was going to die, than I would rather it be me being heroic in battle, than to me to die to an infection, or for me to die from old age, never the less.
I kind of just began to start to breath 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 too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to get my mind, and my focus on the fact that we were now at their camp, and the dragons that were around me, were now in fact swarming down to get in to a little bit of some of the action, all at the exact same time too.
I was about to do the same as the rest of them, as I did not care what dragon that it was that I did in fact start a fight with, all at the exact same time as well, once again. I just felt like I wanted to kill a dragon, which made me sick come to think of it, but I just did not care at this point, as I knew that I needed to at least get some sort of revenge for the death of my father, all at the exact same time as well, once again.
I breathed in quite a bit to my self how ever, as just as it was that I was about to head on down in to the battle, that was when I then all of the sudden began to start to hear a voice from not all too far away, as they began to start to speak my name for some odd reason or another, all at the exact same time as well, which did in fact confuse me quite a bit, if I was in fact going to be for real with my self, all at the exact same time as well, 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 in the mean time, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of the rest of that other stuff that I had been thinking on long before now, as I stared at the dragon who had in fact just said my name, as I began to start to freak out, as I noticed that it just so happened to be my best friend Plyma, all at the exact same time too, once again, none the less.
As I stared at him for a bit more time, that was when I then all of the sudden did in fact stop my self, as I then began to start to listen as to just what it was that he was even about to go on ahead and say to me, all at the exact same time as well, at that, as I drowned out all of the noise of the rest of the battle during that process, all at the exact same time too.
"Himla! You are a traitor! How could I ever be so blind to call you my friend? I can't wait to kill you!" He said to me, as I began to start to freak out on just what it was that he had even said, all at the exact same time as well, as for one thing, I kind of felt like I had betrayed him a bit, by the fact that we had not tried to make sure that he was still alive, and that we had not tried to get in to that cave what so ever, all at the exact same time as well.
But I was kind of more or less freaked out by the fact that some of the dragons that were with me right now might stop them selves, and be a little bit lost on just what it was that he had said, and that they might want to switch sides on me, all at the exact same time as well, which I knew that for a fact, that was not some thing that I wanted to happen what so ever, all at the exact same time too, once again.
I did my best to try to keep my self calm, as I kind of tilted my head, as if I did not have a clue as to just what it was that he was talking about, and I did not have a clue as to just what it was that he was getting at right now, just in the case that some of the red dragons were in fact looking over to me and him right now, which luckily enough for me, did not seem to be the case what so ever, at all, as it seemed like all of the dragons were too busy fighting to notice, or they just hated the black dragons so much at this point, that they did not care.
I did my best to just try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at the exact same time as well, as I opened my mouth to get ready to start to speak back to my old friend, all at the exact same time as well, as I wondered if I should apologize to him, or if I should tell him all of the stuff that it was that his father had been doing all this time whilst he had been gone, all at the exact same time too, though I was not all too sure if he would even listen to me right now.
I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self all at once, as I kind of just stood there and I stared at him for a little bit longer, as I then all of the sudden began to start to see some thing from the corner of my eyes that all of the sudden got my attention, as I turned my head over to it, to see that it was a red dragon, though I could not tell as to who it was at all right now, just due to the fact that they seemed to be going so fast right now.
They dragon was headed straight towards Plyma, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that Plyma too had turned his head over to the dragon, all at the exact same time as well, but by the time that he had in fact done as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time as well, it was far too late for him, all at once, as I then all of the sudden began to start to see him get slammed down to the ground, in the pile of all of the other dragon bodies that were down there.
I shook my head a bit to my self all at once, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of that, for at the very least, the time being, as I then all of the sudden began to start to get my mind on the fact that I needed to at least try to help all of the other dragons that were from the red dragon tribes right now, all at the exact same time too, as it was clear to me, as I then all of the sudden began to start to tilt my head down, all at once.
I looked around for just a few moments, as it seemed like most of the red dragons were doing great for the most part right now, as I saw that they all just so happened to be fighting against one another right now, all at the exact same time as well, and no dragon seemed to be in all too much danger at all, 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 could, all at once, as I then all of the sudden began to start to notice that there was 1 red dragon that looked to need some help right now.
It was a bit of a smaller red dragon, as it was not one from my tribe at all, but that did not matter to me all too much, as I could tell that it needed help right now, as it looked to have injured it's front right paw, and it seemed like it was stuck in a corner right now, as I saw that the black dragon that it was stuck with right now, was one of the black dragons who was sick in the head, and was enjoying all that was going on right now.
I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self all of the sudden, all at the exact same time too, as I shook my head a bit to my self all of the sudden, before I then began to start to go right on ahead and begin to start to speak to my self all of the sudden, all at once, as I knew that no one else could really hear a single word as to just what it was that I was even saying right now.
"Come on Himla... Wake up... You know what needs to be done..." I said to my self under my breath, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to speed my self up all of the sudden, 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 go right on ahead and begin to start to fly as fast as I could to help the red dragon, all at once, as I knew that she was quite a bit of a ways away, all at once.
As I drew closer to her, I saw that the big black dragon was about to swing at her, and do a very damaging blow with his claws, that I was sure was going to hurt her a lot, as she could not dodge it at all right now, due to the fact that she was in fact stuck in a corner right now, all at the exact same time as well, once again, none the less, 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 take the black dragon down to the ground, all at once.
As soon as it was that I had done as such a thing, which was quite a bit easy for me, which was a lot to my surprise, as it kind of seemed like I was a lot stronger than it was that I had thought that I had been, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that I was not as big as that black dragon at all, what so ever, but it was no struggle at all for me to take him to the dirt, all at once, as I began to start to scratch in to the black dragon, all at once.
I continued to dig in to the black dragon, all at the exact same time too, as I heard him howl in pain, which I would normally feel bad for the dragon, and I would move him back, and let him free, but that was not the case for me this time, as I continued to dig in to the dragon, and I dodged him ever single time that he tried to shove me back, all at the exact same time too, once again, none the less.
As I continued to do that, that was when I then all of the sudden began to start to see that from the corner of my eyes, all at once, that it was clear to me that there was another dragon coming towards me, as at first I thought that it was another black dragon that had come to help him right now, all at the exact same time too, but I realized that was not the case, what so ever, as I saw that it was a red dragon.
Not only that, but it was the same red dragon that I had helped a few moments before hand, as it was clear that she was coming to help me right now, which made me let out quite a bit of a soft sigh of some sort of relief to my self all of the sudden, 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 got my eyes, and my focus on the black dragon that he nearly shoved me back, as I saw it coming easily, as I dodged it once again.
Now that it was that the red dragon that I had helped a few moments ago, was now all of the sudden on top of me right now, that was when I then all of the sudden began to start to see her begin to help me now, as she too began to start to scratch in to the black dragon, all at the exact same time as well, none the less, as I could tell that the black dragon was now all of the sudden getting weaker by each and every second, all at the exact same time too, never the less.
The black dragon began to start to put his legs up, as it was clear that he was trying his best to defend the shots as best as he possibly could, until it was that he had got some help, which I felt like was not going to be the case at all, what so ever, as I saw that all of the black dragons that were all around me right now, were all struggling them selves right now, as well as the fact that I even saw a few dead ones on the ground right now, all at the exact same time as well.
Thinking of that, that was when I then all of the sudden began to start to get my mind, and I began to start to get my focus instead, on the fact that there just so happened to be the fact that the black dragon that I had been attacking before hand, had in fact opened up his weak spot in his belly, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to crack a bit of a smile on my face, which kind of made me feel a bit sick as soon as it was that I had thought of those thoughts, all at the exact same time too.
Just as soon as it was that I had in fact thought of those thoughts, as to the fact that I had thought about killing the black dragon right then and there, that was when I then all of the sudden moved back, as I knew that I was not going to be like this black dragon, all at the exact same time as well, as I was not going to be evil at all, and I was not going to kill him, such as it was that I had felt like he was going to do with the red dragon that had helped me.
The red dragon that had helped me, all at the exact same time too, did in fact seem to notice that I had in fact moved off of the black dragon all of the sudden, as I then all of the sudden began to start to see her tilt her head a bit over towards me, all at the exact same time as well, as it was clear to me that she was just a little bit lost as to just what it was that I was even doing at first, but in the end how ever, she did in fact do the exact same thing that I had just done.
As soon as it was that we both had done that, the black dragon that we had been attacking, all at the exact same time too, then all of the sudden began to start to lift him self up, all at once, as I was at first a little bit worried that he was about to get up, and that he was in fact about to go right on ahead and attack me, all at the exact same time too, never the less.
How ever, that did not seem to be the case what so ever, luckily enough for me, as I saw that he simply began to start to limp away from us, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to go right on ahead and let him walk away, as I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to hear the red dragon that I had just helped, was now all of the sudden beginning to speak to me.
At first, I had been a little bit worried that she was going to be upset at me, due to the fact that she might have thought that I should have simply killed him, all at the exact same time too, but how ever, that did not seem to be the case at all, luckily enough for me, as I did in fact begin to 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 even about to go right on ahead and say to me, all at the exact same time too.
As soon as it was that I had in fact done as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too, that was when she then did in fact begin to start to continue to speak to me all of the sudden, as I breathed in a bit of a soft sigh to my self all of the sudden, 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 too, once again.
"Thank you for that Himla! You saved me! I don't know how I can ever repay you for that!" She said to me, as it was clear to me, all at the exact same time too, that she too did in fact realize that the dragon that had in fact attacked her, did in fact have the intent on the fact that he was going to kill her, all at the exact same time as well, as I still kind of wondered as to just why it was that I had not done as such a thing my self, all at the exact same time too, none the less.
For all that I knew, that dragon could some day go back and kill a bunch more of some red dragons, all at the exact same time as well. I began to kind of breath in quite a bit heavily to my self how ever, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of the rest of that other stuff how ever, as I felt like, so long as every thing went according to plan right now, than we would not have to worry about that what so ever, as I knew that it would mean that the war would in fact be over, all at the exact same time too.
I kind of just kept it a little bit to my self for the time being, as I just kind of shook my head a little bit to my self, 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 attention on the fact that had to do with me needing to pay attention to the pretty red dragon that had in fact just spoken to me a few moments before now, all at the exact same time as well, as I then began to start to remember as to just what it was that she had even said to me in the very first place any ways, none the less.
I thought it was kind of funny that she was talking about the fact that she was asking how it was that she was going to repay me for that, though I then began to start to notice the look on her face, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to realize as to just what it was that she had even meant by what she had even said to me, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to gulp quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time too.
I knew as to just what it was that she had been getting at, all at the exact same time as well, as it kind of felt a little bit strange, and a little bit naughty to me, especially since the fact that we were in fact in the middle of a battle right now, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that several dragons had said stuff to me like that before, but I kind of just had ignored it, or I had just been too blind to really under stand as to just what it was that they had been getting at, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
I was quite a bit embarrassed if I was not going to lie to my self, all at the exact same time as well, though I did my best to try to hide it from my face, all at the exact same time too, as I knew that I had never really done any thing sexual with a dragon before, all at the exact same time too, as I had only dated a few dragons in my life, all at the exact same time too, at that, never the less, now that I did in fact kind of start to think on that a little bit more, all at the exact same time too.
As I stood there, and I stared for just a little bit longer, that was when I began to start to realize that now was not really the time to be thinking on any of that at all right now, nor was it really the time to be fantasizing about all of that, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that we were in fact in the middle of a battle right at this very moment in time too, as I knew that I needed to calm my self down right now, once again.
I stared at the dragon with quite a bit of a blank look on my face, all at once, as I felt like I should just go on ahead and act like I was blind, and I did not have a clue as to just what it was that she was getting at right now, such as it was that I always seemed to do, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to go right on ahead and start to nod to her, all at the exact same time as well, to let her know that I was about to go right on ahead and start to speak to her, all at the exact same time too.
The female dragon just seemed to stare at me with a bit of a blank look on her own face her self, for just a few moments, all at the exact same time as well. In the end how ever, she seemed to be a little bit disappointed right now how ever, which did not make all too much sense to me at all right now, what so ever, considering the fact that I knew that we could not have sex in the middle of the battle any ways, either.
How ever, in the end, the dragon then seemed to nod back to me, at the very least, to let me know that she was in fact paying attention as to just what it was that I had to say to her, all at the exact same time too, even though she was still a bit disappointed in me. I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of that other stuff that I had been thinking on long before now any ways, as I just began to start to speak back to her, all at the exact same time as well, now that it was that I did in fact begin to start to realize that she was in fact listening as to just what it was that I was even about to go right on ahead and say to her, all at the exact same time too, none the less.
"It's not a problem... I'm just trying to save as many dragons as I can..." I said to her, as I stared at her with the same blank look that I had on my face before now, as I was not all too sure as to just what else it was that I should really be doing right now any ways, as I just tried to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time, either way, never the less. She just seemed to be not all too worried that it her mind, it was clear to her that I did not have a clue as to just what it was that she had been getting at, which I was glad to of course. I kind of just blinked my eyes a few times, as I then all of the sudden began to start to try to make it more believable that I did not have a single clue as to just what it was that she had even been getting at, all at the exact same time as well, as I began to start to speak to her once again, never the less, as I could tell that she was still listening to me. "You don't have to repay me... It's just my jo-"
I began to say to her, until she then all of the sudden began to start to stop me mid sentence for some odd reason or another, which I tilted my head a bit confused as to just what it was that she was even getting at right now, none the less, as I stared at her for a little bit longer, as I saw that she looked to be quite a bit freaked out, and she looked to be quite a bit scared right now, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that she was not looking at me at all right now.
Just before I heard a single word come out of her mouth, that was when I then all of the sudden was slammed to the ground, all at once, as it was one of the worst hits that I felt like I had ever taken in my life, all at the exact same time as well, as it knocked the wind out of me for one thing, but every thing else seemed to have just gone dead silent, all at the exact same time as well, as it was clear to me that I had not managed to catch a single word as to just what it was that the female dragon had even been trying to say to me, all at the exact same time as well.
Though I felt like I could in fact get a general jist of just what it was that she was even trying to say to me, all at the exact same time too, as I began to start to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self all of the sudden, now that it felt like I was able to breath again, as I then all of the sudden began to start to turn my head over to just what it was that had even done what ever it was that they had even done to me in the very first place any ways, once again.
How ever, just as it was that it had seemed like I had turned my head around to the dragon that had done that to me, that was when I once again was slammed to the ground once again, though this time it felt like it was sticking to me, as the first time it seemed like that who ever it was that had done that to me, all at the exact same time as well, had simply just been trying to take me to the ground, all at the exact same time as well, none the less, once again.
As I did my best to try to control my breathing, I then all of the sudden began to start to stare at the dragon that was holding on to me right now, all at the exact same time too, as I just so happened to notice that it was, Loi, who just so happened to be one of the strongest dragons alive, as well as the fact that he also just so happened to be a leader of some other black dragon tribe, all at the exact same time too, none the less, as I was quite a bit shocked that Zogan still had support of some tribes, much less his own tribe, at that.
It seemed like black dragons were more evil than it was that I had first thought them to be, all at the exact same time too, as it kind of made me feel a bit sick to even be thinking on that right now, all at the exact same time too, as I really did not want to think of any dragon as being evil what so ever, at all, never the less. I just kind of did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I could, as I could practically feel the big black dragon breathing down my neck right now, as well.
As I stared at him for just a few more moments, that was when the black dragon began to start to laugh, all at the exact same time as well, as it seemed like he was now starting to let go of me all of the sudden, which I felt like he might not have realized, and he might not have meant to do on purpose. Either way, I felt like I should use this chance to fly out of the position that I was in fact stuck in right at this very moment in time too, once again, none the less.
How ever, when it was that I tried to fly out, that was when he dug even deeper in to me, and in to my scales, as I began to start to yell out a sharp bit of some pain all of the sudden, once again, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, as I really did not want to look weak to this dragon at all right now, all at the exact same time as well.
He seemed to not care a single bit any ways, as he then all of the sudden just began to start to speak to me, all at the exact same time as well, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should even be doing at all right now, as I simply just kind of tilted my head at him, as I felt like, if he was going to kill me, than he should just go on ahead and get it over with, rather than just wait for some one to come to help me right now, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
I just kind of got my mind, and I kind of got my focus off of all of the rest of that other stuff any ways, as he then began to start to continue to speak to me, all at the exact same time as well, as I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at once, as, as much as I really did not want to, I did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that the big black dragon even had to say to me, all at the exact same time as well, once again.
"Well... Well... Well... If it isn't the son of Peota! This will be fun to kill you! You think you can run away young fool? You don't know who I am? You'll never be fast enough..."
