The Weak And Helpless (Yona of the dawn)

The Blue Dragon

Me and Yona walk in as we notice a squirrel scurry around our feet and stop in front of us. "A squirrel?" I ask unbelievingly. The squirrel began to run up ahead.

"Wait!" Cried Yona. She looked at me and then down the tunnel towards the squirrel. We both took off after it. As we did we took no notice to the sound of moving rock as the entrance door slid back into it original place.

Candles lines the walls as me and Yona stopped running and began walking looking around curiously. "Qu Qu Qu Qu!" the squirrel cried. That's one weird noise coming form a squirrel. We looked around to find the squirm on the floor playing with it's tail.

"There he is." Yona cheered smiling as we both walked over to him. Yona picked him up "He's so cute!" She shrieked happily. Yona turned around "Hak, there's an animal~" Yona began but stopped as she realized Hak or anyone except me wasn't here with her.

The candles suddenly blew out. Yona put the squirrel down and he ran off. "Hak!" Yona called fear rising in her voice. "Gija!" Yona called placing her hand on the wall and walking back towards the entrance. "Yun!" Yona cried. The wall against her hand ended.

Causing Yona to almost trip. "Calm down.." I tried to reassure as Yona trembled slightly. "Are you lost?" Said a familiar voice. "I turned toward it to see the same man who had warned us not to wander holding a lit candle.

"Were you separated from your friends." he asked taking a step toward us. Yona stepped back. "Y-Yes. Do you live here?" Yona replied.

"Yes. Give me your hand." The man said raising his hand. Yona hesitated. "I will take you to them." He reassured. Yona took his hand. "Thank you." She said. The man started to walk away dragging Yona with him.

It wasn't until then did I realize that the man didn't see me. The candle light wasn't bright enough to show my small figure that hid in the shadows. I decided to go along with this and quietly followed.

"Did you not hear this place is a maze?" Asked the man as he dragged Yona along. "I'm sorry, There's someone I must find." Yona apologized. "The Blue Dragon?" The man guessed.

"Huh? Yes." Yona agrees surprised he had guessed correctly. "He is not here." The man insisted. At the end of the passage I spotted a hole that looked like it lead to a room. Yona must of seen it to because she asked. "Does someone live in the room at the end of the passage?"

The man tightened his grip on Yona. I pulled out my dagger. Something isn't right, to much tension in the air. "No one lives there. No one." The man answered.

The man lead Yona to a flight of stairs going down. "Um, Hak and the others aren't that way. Why are we going deeper?" Yona protested. The mans turned toward Yona a deadly murderous look in his eyes.

Yona's eyes widened and gasped fear sparking in her eyes. She pulled away from the man and turned around to run but the man caught her arm and began to drag her down the stairs.

"Let go! No!" Yona cried thrashing in his grip. I jumped out of the shadows and kicked the man in the side. His eyes grew and he let go of Yona. I stepped in front of Yona and raised my dagger. I didn't bother to look which one I had pulled.

"Go away!" I growled. The man grabbed my wrist and hit my wrist. I dropped my dagger. I reached out to grab an other but the man had placed down the candle he held and took my other hand as well.

I squirmed in his grip and kicked at his legs but his grip remained strong. He began to drag me down instead. "Your to troublesome even for a weak little girl." He hissed.

Yona hit the man "Let her go! Stop!" She yelled in protest. The sound of bells suddenly filled the air and an other man wearing a mask pulled the man who grasped me away from me.

The man who had tried to drag us down shakily took his candle and stepped slowly down the stairs. He trembles as he looked at the man in the mask and hurriedly ran off.

I looked at the man who had just saved me. He had a white mask that covered the top half of his noise up to the top of his head. The bottom of the mask had points on them, under and above the black dots that should of been eye holes were red thin triangles. How does he see in that thing?

On the top of his mask a white wig was attacked that fell a down to his shoulders. On the sides of his mask was horns on his left horn was a small pair of bells tied to the horn my a string. I was half temped to ask of I could touch them.

The man wore a sleeveless black robe that went down to his ankles. The ends of the coat had white fur. Under is robe as he wore a blue turtle neck that went down to his wrist. From the elbow down he had bandages wrapped around his arm but stopped at his gloved wrists.

Around his neck was a beaded necklace that was tight around his neck. An other necklace was around his neck but was much more lose and was decorated with what looked like shells.

The man looked down at me and Yona and picked up my dagger handing it to me. I placed it black onto my belt. The man took our hands and started leading us somewhere. It was silent for a while all you could really here was the light jingle for the two bells that were tied around the mans horn.

The squirrel from earlier popes out of the mans wigs and stares at us as it rests on his shoulder. It had a little smile on it's small lips. We turned around a corner to see Hak, Gija and Yun.

"Princess, May!" Hak shouted running over to us. "Where have you been!" He scolded. Yun pushed passed Hak and rushes up to us. "You idiots! You were supposed to follow us, you idiots!" Yun shouted a look of worry turning to a mixture of relief and anger.

"Sorry." Yona apologized. Gija walks over. "I'm glad you're safe." Gija said relieved. "Yes, this man saved....." Yona began but stopped at Gija stood staring unbelievingly over Yona's shoulder. I looked over my shoulder to see what had caused such a look.

The man who had saved us still stood there. "Thank you for helping us." I beamed. The man nodded his head lightly as Gija still stared.

"You..." Gija muttered but stopped as the man who helped us ran off running down a near by tunnels, the sound of bells jingling filled the air as Gija called out. "Wait!" He cried running to the tunnel and stoping shocked as he saw nothing.

"What is it?" Yun asked walking over to Gija. Gija stared at the spot the man had last stood. "That's him. He's the Blue Dragon!"
