(Dragon Wars) Lost Hope

Chapter 28: Can't Be True...

I laid on the ground, as there was really not all that much that it was that I could really even do right now. I was stuck, and I was trapped right now, as I kind of hoped that the female dragon that I had just saved would come to save the day for me, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
How ever, I felt like, even if she could do as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too, that she would end up getting killed in the end, as well. I did not really want to risk it at all, and I was sure that she had got busy trying to stop some thing else, all at the exact same time too.
I kind of just let out a soft sigh, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I could even do to get my self out of this sticky situation that I had got my self in to in the very first place any ways. This was perhaps the strongest dragon of them all, and he had me held down, as I knew that there was no way that I could get my self free.
I didn't even think it was worth the time and energy in me even trying to do as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too, as I simply just let out quite a bit of a heavy sigh to my self all of the sudden. I felt like it was just best to embrace the fact that I was going to die in battle as a hero, all at the exact same time as well.
It meant that I was going to get to be able to go and join my father in where ever it was that he was at right now, in some sort of spirit and soul world, all at the exact same time too, as I kind of just began to start to close my eyes all of the sudden, as I was just ready to get it over with, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
As I had my eyes closed all of the sudden, that was when I then suddenly began to start to hear Loi begin to start to speak up to me once again, as 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 just let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self this time, all at the exact same time too, as I then began to start to open my eyes to see as to just what it was that was going on with him right now.
I had seen a very angry look on his face, all at the exact same time too, as I kind of just stared at the dragon with a bit of a blank look on my face for just a little bit longer, as it was clear that all he had wanted to do was see me look at him, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden saw him begin to crack a bit of a smile on his face all of the sudden, now that it was that he did in fact realize that I was in fact paying attention to him, all at the exact same time too.
I kind of just continued to stare at him with the same blank look that I had on my face before hand. I was not scared for just what it was that was about to come next for me. I just continued to stare at him through and through all of this, as I then did in fact begin to start to hear him continue to speak to me all of the sudden, as I did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say to me, in the very first place any ways.
*Yes! I love to see the eyes of the dragons that I kill! Why don't you try to fight back?" He said to me, all at the exact same time as well, as I kind of tilted my head over towards him, all at the exact same time as well, as I was in fact quite a bit lost on just what it was that he has even said to me in the very first place as well.
It was clear that I could not fight back, all at the exact same time too, as it was clear that he was much bigger, and he was much stronger than I was, all at the exact same time too. There was no use in me even trying what so ever, as I felt like it was not worth my time and energy to do as such a thing like that, none the less.
If I was not going to lie to my self either, I kind of felt like the fact that I was not fighting back was giving me some more time to think of some way out of this, rather than the fact that I did in fact feel like I had to speak back to the evil dragon, all at the exact same time as well. This was clearly an evil dragon, as I could tell just based off of the evil look that the dragon did in fact seem to have in his eyes, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
I kind of just stared right back in to his eyes for a little bit more time, as I could see the smirk that he had on his face, all at the exact same time as well, as I wondered if I should just stay silent for a little bit longer, all at the exact same time as well, none the less. I felt like I should do as such a thing, but for some odd reason, that was just not what it was that I ended up doing.
I simply just seemed to smile right back to the black dragon, all at the exact same time too, which I could in fact tell did in fact confuse him quite a great deal, all at the exact same time as well, none the less. As I stood there for just a little bit longer, that was when I then all of the sudden began to start to see him start to have the same angry look that he had on his face long before hand, once again.
That was when I began to start to realize that now, more than ever, would in fact be the perfect time for me to go right on ahead and start to speak back to him, all at the exact same time as well. I did in fact begin to start to do as such a thing like that, before it was that he did in fact get too angry with me, and just straight up go right on ahead and kill me, all at the exact same time as well.
The dragon then all of the sudden seemed to stop with what it was that he was doing, as he seemed to relax him self off of me, all at the exact same time too, as I thought about trying to escape, but I could still tell that even off of the fact that even if he had relaxed him self off of me, I still knew that there was no way that I could escape the hold that he did in fact have on me, all at the exact same time too.
As I stared at him for just a bit more of some time, as he then did in fact begin to start to tilt his head a little bit over towards me, all at the exact same time as well, to let me know that at the very least, he was in fact paying attention to me right now, never the less. That was all that it kind of felt like I really needed to get my self back on track, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
As I stood there and I stared for a little bit longer, I then all of the sudden began to start to go right on ahead and begin to start to speak to him, as I felt like waiting any longer might be me pushing it a little bit too far, all at the exact same time as well. I kind of just kept the same smile that I had on my face long before now, all at once, as I then all of the sudden did in fact begin to start to speak to him, now that it was that I did in fact realize that he was in fact beginning to start to listen as to just what it was that I even had to say to him, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
"Well... I can't really fight back against you? Can I now? You do have me pinned down... So why don't you just go ahead and kill me?" I said back to him, as it felt like it was my turn this time to just kind of crack a little bit of a smirk back at him, all at the exact same time as well. It was clear that he was quite a bit surprised, and he was quite a bit lost on just what it was that I had even said to him, either way.
He kind of just stared at me with a little bit of a blank look of his own on his face right now, all at the exact same time as well, as it was clear that he was in fact quite a bit lost right now, and it was clear to me that he was in fact not all too sure as to just what it was that he should even do right now, nor was he all too sure as to just what it was that was even going on, and just what it was that I had even said to him, all at the exact same time as well.
I kind of felt like I was in fact bluffing with him, all at the exact same time as well, to try to buy my self a little bit more of some time, all at the exact same time too, so that some one big and strong might be able to notice me, and might be able to save me, all at the exact same time as well, once again, never the less.
It seemed to be working pretty well, if I was in fact going to be for real with my self, as I kept the same smile that I had on my face long before now, as I simply just seemed to continue to stare at the black dragon that was looking at me right in to my own eyes, all at the exact same time as well, for just a little bit longer, once again.
He had his head tilted a little bit towards me still, as it was clear that he was not all too sure as to just what it was that he should in fact be doing right now, all at the exact same time as well, as he then all of the sudden began to start to go right on ahead and begin to start to crack a little bit of the same smile that he had on his face not all too much longer before now, never the less, once again.
I kind of gulped all of the sudden, as I was now starting to figure that I might now be running low on time all of the sudden, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to hear him begin to start to speak back to me, all at the exact same time too, as I did my best to try to keep the exact same smile that I had on my face long before now, as I did my best to try to keep my self as strong, and as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at the exact same time as well.
LoI continued to just stare at me for some more time, as in the end, he then did in fact begin to start to go right on ahead, and he began to start to continue to speak to me either way, as I let out a little bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that I was now running out of time, all at the exact same time too, 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 in the very first place any ways, at that.
"Well... Now that you say it like that... I think that I would much rather it be a little bit more painful..." He said to me, as I kind of just stayed there and I stared at him for a little bit longer. I kind of gulped at the exact same time as well, as I was kind of having flash backs of the last battle that I had been in, all at the exact same time too, as I did in fact remember that I had in fact been held down in the last one that I had been in, none the less.
I had been cut over and over again, and in the end, I luckily had in fact felt the pain from that for several weeks on end after wards, all at the exact same time as well. I really did not have much of any other choice, as I felt like he was going to do the exact same thing that it was that the other black dragon had done in the last battle, all at the exact same time as well. Except, the only problem was, that Sola had come to save the day for me in that last one, none the less.
Who knew as to just where it was that Sola was at right now, as for all that I knew, she could be dead, as much as it was that I kind of felt like I did not want to think on any thing like that, all at the exact same time too, as I kind of just began to start to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I then began to start to see that Loi all of the sudden began to start to open his mouth over towards me, all at the exact same time too.
At first, I kind of thought that he was about to get ready to go on ahead and start to continue to speak to me, all at the exact same time as well, but I then began to start to realize that was not the case what so ever, all at the exact same time too. I began to start to realize that it might just be for the best for me as to just what it was that was about to happen right now.
I could see his mouth beginning to start to light up, as it was clear to me that he was about to burn me, all at the exact same time as well. I knew that fire was a rare straight that only the strongest of the strong of dragons had, all at the exact same time too, as I knew that he just so happened to be one of those dragons, all at the exact same time as well.
I closed my eyes, as I knew that I did not want to get blinded by the fire for sure, all at the exact same time as well, none the less. I just kind of began to start to brace for impact, all at the exact same time as well, not all too much longer after all of that was said and done. It was clear that he was not joking when he had told me that he was going to give me some thing that was in fact much more painful.
I just laid on the ground for a few more moments, as I waited to feel the burn, all at the exact same time too, as I the seconds seemed to tick by, as it all seemed to be all so silent for me, as I wondered if I was already dead, all at the exact same time as well, never the less. I kind of just waited for a little bit longer, as all of the sudden, I felt all of the weight, and all of the pressure begin to start to get off of me, all at the exact same time as well.
I quickly began to start to open my eyes, as I quickly flew up with out any sort of hesitation, all at the exact same time as well, just to make sure that some thing like that was not going to happen again, as I then began to start to look around, to see as to just which dragon it was that had come to save me this time.
As I let looked around for just a little bit longer, all at the exact same time too, I then began to start to spot Loi, not all too much further away, all at the exact same time too. This time, it was him that was being held to the ground, as it kind of a little bit of some karma if I was going to be for real with my self, all at the exact same time as well.
I kind of just stared at just what it was that was even going on right now, with a little bit of a smile on my face, none the less. I watched Socra and Omplo, who were the 2 dragons that were holding him down right now, begin to start to scratch in to him, all at the exact same time as well. I was not all too sure as to just why it was that they did not kill him if I was going to be for real with my self.
Perhaps I was being a little bit too dark right now, as I kind of just began to start to turn my head away from all of that, all at the exact same time as well. I then began to start to look around for some more dragons that might need some help right now, all at the exact same time too. I also did in fact begin to start to speak to my self during that time, never the less.
"You got to find Zogan... This is why you came here..." I said to my self, as it looked like we were winning this battle quite a bit easily right now, all at the exact same time as well, as I did not see any red dragons that needed any sort of help at all right now. I let out a bit of a soft sigh of some relief, as I then began to start to search for the black dragon that was amongst all of the others, all at the exact same time too.
I looked around for quite a bit of some time, as it kind of seemed like the battle was dying out right now, as it looked like it was near its end already, which made quite a bit of sense, all at the exact same time too, considering the fact that we had the clear advantage in the battle, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
How ever, I just could not see Zogan any where, as I knew that the war would not end until it was that he was in fact dead, all at the exact same time as well, none the less, as I kind of just did my best to look for him, as I kind of wondered if he was perhaps hiding right now, as I felt like that would be fitting for some thing that he would do, as I felt like I could in fact see him do as such a thing like that, to leave his tribe behind, and run away from a battle, all at the exact same time too.
But, if I was going to be for real with my self as well, I was not all too sure if it was that he was even here in the very first place any ways, as I had not seen him at all, in the battle so far. I had seen several other dragons, but no one else had been any where around, such as Zogan, all at the exact same time too. Perhaps he was still healing from his wounds, or perhaps even better, he had got an infection, and he had died, and this battle might have been pointless in the very first place as well.
Though, that just did not make all too much sense to me what so ever, as I felt like we would have known if that was in fact the case, all at the exact same time too. They would not have expected us to come after them, unless it was that their leader was in fact still alive, all at the exact same time too.
I kind of just breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at once, as I knew that the real question was, as I had figured that he had in fact been alive up to this point, all at the exact same time as well, was of course the fact as to just where it was that he could be right now, as it certainly did in fact seem like he was in fact hiding right now, all at the exact same time too, almost as if he was afraid of me, none the less.
I was not that big, and I was not that strong of a dragon, so I felt like he really should not be that scared of me what so ever, all at the exact same time a well, as I kind of just shook my head a bit to my self all of the sudden, as I more or less just did my best to try to get my mind, and to try to get my focus off of all of the rest of that other stuff that I had in fact even been thinking on long before now, never the less.
I then all of the sudden just kind of began to start to notice from the corner of my eye, that once again, though the last time that it had happened, I had not seen it, what so ever, some thing was in fact coming right over to me, in my direction. For all that I knew, I felt like they could be running from the fight, or they could be going after some thing else, all at the exact same time too.
How ever, I just kind of had a little bit of this kind of feeling that it was not the case what so ever, 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, as I turned my head over to just what it was that was even coming my way right now, all at the exact same time too, once again, none the less.
As I looked over to what it was that was in fact coming at me in full speed, all at the exact same time too, I then all of the sudden began to start to realize that it just so happened to be Plyma, as I remembered the surprised look that I had on my face not all too much longer before now, that he had in fact been alive, and that he had in fact been here for this battle, all at the exact same time too, once again.
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 quickly began to dodge him, all at the exact same time as well, at the last second. Of course he was coming after me for some odd reason or another, kind of like he had done at the beginning of the battle, before it had in fact all started, all at the exact same time as well.
I was a little bit lost as to just why that was in fact even the case, all at the exact same time too, as I felt like he should be upset at his father, rather than to be upset at me, all at the exact same time too, but I suppose that he had in fact been manipulated by his father all the exact same time as well, just like it was that the rest of the poor black dragons had in fact been, all at the exact same time too.
I kind of just stood there for a bit of some time, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should do at first, all at the exact same time as well, as after it was that I had dodged him, all at the exact same time as well, I then all of the sudden began to start to turn my head over to where it was that he now was right now, all at the exact same time as well, as I did in fact expect him to come after me once again, kind of like it was that he had come after me just a few moments before now, all at the exact same time too.
As I turned my head around, I saw that my best friend did in fact have his eyes squinted at me, as it did in fact surprise me quite a bit, all at the exact same time as well, as to just what it was that he was even doing right now. I was not all too sure as to just why it was that he was even so upset at me right now, when I had really done nothing wrong, and I was not the bad guy what so ever, though it kind of felt like I had been framed as the bad guy over and over again, none the less.
I kind of just did my best 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 tilt my head a bit over towards him, all at once, to let him know that I was in fact a little bit lost as to just what it was that was even going on with him right now, 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, as that did not seem to calm him down what so ever, as it kind of seemed to make him a little bit more angry, all at the exact same time as well, once again.
I still did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could either way, once again, as I then all of the sudden began to start to hear the voice of my best friend, as he then did in fact begin to start to go right on ahead and begin to start to speak to me all of the sudden, all at the exact same time as well, as I then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that my friend even had to say to me, all at the exact same time too, as I could clearly tell that there was in fact quite a bit of some anger in his voice as he did in fact begin to start to go right on ahead and continue to speak to me, none the less.
"You betrayed me! And then you started a war! You left me to die in that cave! You tried to blame my father for it all! I trusted you! How could you do this to me?" He said to me, as I could tell that he felt like I was kind of acting like I did not have a single clue as to just what it was that he was so upset at me for, all at the exact same time as well, none the less, which to be fair, I felt like it had to be some thing to do with the fact that we had left him in the cave, due to the fact that we had thought that he had been dead.
How ever, it was not my fault that the war had been started what so ever, as that was the part that did in fact confuse me quite a bit, and that was in fact the part that did in fact surprise me on just what it was that he had in fact even said to me, all at the exact same time as well, as I kind of just began to start to blink my eyes a few times all of the sudden, as I could not help but to have quite a bit of a shocked look on my face, as to just what it was that he had even said to me, 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 in the mean time, as 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, once again.
It felt like this entire time, I had been the one to take the blame for this war being started, and it was really starting to piss me off, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that my friend did not know any better, and he really did not know the real truth as to just what it was that had in fact even been going on, all at the exact same time too, but I still felt like I could not help but to be quite about angry as to just what it was that he had even said to me, all at the exact same time too.
I kind of hissed over towards my best friend, all at the exact same time too, not really due to the fact that I was upset at him, all at the exact same time as well, as it was more just due to the fact that I felt like I was tired of all of the lies that were being spread around about me, all at the exact same time as well, as it had even happened in my own tribe, all at the exact same time as well, as Sola had told me she had over heard some one saying that I too had in fact started this war on purpose, all at the exact same time as well.
That was clearly not the case what so ever how ever, as it was clear that Zogan had been the one that had been the person that had in fact started this war on purpose, all at the exact same time as well, as he had in fact been the one that had wanted all of the red dragons dead, all at the exact same time as well, as he felt like the black dragons were the superior species, and he felt like there could only be one of the dragon species that could be left alive, all at the exact same time as well, which was completely crazy, if I was going to be for real with my self, once again, never the less.
I kind of just began to start to breath in quite a bit heavy to my self all of the sudden, as I then all of the sudden began to start to shake my head a bit to my friend, all at the exact same time as well, as he then all of the sudden began to start to nod back to him, all at the exact same time as well, as I could tell that he was still very angry with me right now, all at the exact same time as well, as I felt like I should talk some sense in to him, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that he would be the key to stopping this war, none the less.
My friend kind of just tilted his head over towards me, as it was clear to me that he really did not have much of a clue as to just what it was that was even going on with me right now, all at the exact same time as well, as I could also tell that he was a little bit hurt by all of this, all at the exact same time too, which I felt like I really could not blame him for, what so ever. His father had clearly lied to him once again, as it was probably making him feel like he was going crazy at this point.
I kind of just 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 did in fact begin to start to go right on ahead and begin to speak to him, as soon as it was that he did in fact show me that he was in fact paying attention to me. I knew that he was in fact beginning to start to listen to me, all at the exact same time too, so I did in fact start to do as such a thing like that, once again.
"No... Are you crazy? We tried to help you, but Sola told me that you were dead in there... We came back and once the news broke out, your father claimed that I was a murderer and he started a war between the 2 species..." I said to him, all at the exact same time as well, as I could tell that Plyma was quite a bit surprised as to just what it was that I had even just said to him, all at the exact same time too, as it was clear to me that was for sure not the same story that his father had told him what so ever, all at the exact same time as well, as it was clear that my friend was not all too sure as to just what it was that he should even believe right now, all at the exact same time too, as I saw that he had a bit of a look of some shock on his face, all at the exact same time too, once again. I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could either way, as I then all of the sudden began to start to remember some thing else that for sure would get him on to my side, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that my friend had his head low to the ground, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to continue to go right on ahead and begin to speak to him either way, as I knew that he was in fact still listening as to just what it was that I even had to say to him still, all at the exact same time too, once again. "Your father cheated in a duel to the death, and he had another dragon pin my father down and he murdered my father! Why are you on his side?"
I stared at my friend for quite a bit of some time, as I had my eyes squinted at my friend, all at the exact same time as well, to let him know that I was in fact not all too happy with just what it was that he was even doing right now, all at the exact same time as well, and just why it was that there were still so many dragons that were on the side of Zogan right now, after all of the evil stuff that he had in fact done, 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, as I then all of the sudden began to start to see that my best friend then all of the sudden began to start to lift his head up to me, all at the exact same time too, after just what it was that I had in fact said to him, all at the exact same time as well, as it was clear that he was not all too sure as to just what it was that I had even said to him, none the less.
Every single dragon knew that it was in fact against the rules to get any sort of help in a duel, all at the exact same time too, as once it was that you were to accept the duel, all at the exact same time as well, than it meant that it was a fight to the death, one on one, until one dragon came out on top, all at the exact same time too, as I kind of just began to start to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, as I just continued to stare at him.
Plyma just seemed to be in quite a bit of a look of shock for quite a bit of some time, until I then all of the sudden began to start to see my friend begin to start to look up to the sky, all at the exact same time too, as, as soon as it felt like he had done as such a thing like that, that was when it then began to start to pour rain on us, all at the exact same time as well, as it felt like it had in fact been quite a bit of some time since it was that it had in fact just rained on us, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
It kind of just made the mood feel a little bit more dim, and it made it all feel quite a bit more grim how ever, all at the exact same time as well, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should in fact do, nor was I all too sure as to just what else it was that I should say to my friend, none the less, as I kind of felt like I had told him to truth, and now at this point, it seemed like it was up to him to decide, all at the exact same time too, as to just what it was that he wanted to believe.
My friend just continued to stare at me with a bit of a blank look on his face, for just a little bit more time, as I kind of wondered as to just what it was that he might even be thinking right now, all at the exact same time too, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was even going on still, all at the exact same time as well, none the less, as I just let the rain soak in to my scales, all at the exact same time too, as it kind of felt quite a bit relieving, if I was in fact going to be for real with my self, once again.
I quickly got my mind, and I quickly got my focus off of all of that other stuff how ever, once again, as I then all of the sudden began to start to get my mind, and I began to start to get my focus on just what it was that more or less had to do with the fact that I knew that my friend was now all of the sudden beginning to start to shake his head back over to me, 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.
I stared to my friend, as I looked at him right in to his eyes, all at the exact same time as well, as I kind of tilted my head a little bit over towards him all of the sudden, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that he was even doing right now, if I was in fact going to be for real with my self once again, as I kind of just stared at him for a little bit longer, as he then all of the sudden began to start to move back, as if he was quite a bit surprised by just what it was that I had said once again.
He looked a little bit scared, for some odd reason or another, which I was not all too sure as to just why that was that it would in fact be the case for him, as I knew that was for sure some thing never like him at all. How ever, in the end, Plyma just seemed to get over all of that, none the less, as he then did in fact begin to start to continue to speak to me, as I did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say to me in the very first place any ways, never the less.
"No! This can't be true!"
