Our Last Hope

::39:: Cavern

"Ow..my head.." Tashi groans as he tries getting up as a sharp pain follows while he winces

"God, that fall definitely was a large one" he said while looking at his hand, which is covered in blood as he sighs

"Great, I don't have any bandages.." he says while crawling his way to a nearby flower

"This flower looks like a luckius flower, if I'm correct it absorbs blood from the injured and heals them.." he says while putting his bleeding hand on the flower

"God, where am I..?" He says as the sharp pain stops as he gets up on his feet as he looks up, the sun is shining through the hole of the boards that collapsed

"Dad..please help me go through this, I'm so scared" he says while gripping his blue moon pendant his father gave him as a light breeze follows

"Wait, the wind is coming from the cave.." he mutters as he walks towards the breeze, hearing whispers as he walks, the calming breeze seems almost wrong at this time

"Hello? Anyone here?" He says as his voice it echoes as he walks down the cavern entrance, trying to remain calm he pulls out his phone and looks at his photos, one of them was him with Theodora and a guy with cat ears as Tashi's breath slows down, as if he's calming down until he hears the sound of feet

"Hello...?" Tashi said as the steps of the feet become faster as Tashi's breath becomes quicker, he starts running back to the area he found himself in, as he gets there he tries to climb on the vines on one of the pillars but it breaks, causing him to hit the ground again

"Oh god.." he muttered as he looked behind him, he sees a three foot tall girl with pink and red hair, her dress is tattered, her eyes have purple on top and blue on bottom, but her necklace was more weird, a Chinese coin of protection, no ones seen those in for ever

"Oh goodness! Are you ok?!" She says as she runs to Tashi, looking at his wounds as she inspects every part of him that has wounds

"It's been forever since a human fell down here! I cannot believe this, you're the only one that survived the fall!" The girl says as Tashi feels his heart drop

"U-Um..I'm guessing that's a compliment...?" He says as the girl giggles

"I'm Serenity, former lord of protection!" She says while picking up Tashi like a kitten (keep in mind this girl is like, three feet tall and she can carry a 6 feet tall bab)

"Careful..! I don't wanna fall and hurt you" Tashi says as Serenity chuckles

"Nonsense! I'll be fine!" She says while walking down the narrow isle "Don't look down, don't want you to freak out!" She says as Tashi tries to not look down as his breath speeds up as Serenity starts humming something

"How long have you've been down here?" Tashi asks as Serenity smiles

"1,000 years! I awoke today when you fell!" She chirped as Tashi sighs

"Have you ever tried to climb up?" He asks as Serenity freezes

"W-Why would I climb up? They don't need me!" She says as Tashi sighs

"They do need you! More than ever!" He says while getting out of Serenity's arms as she looks away from him

"Why should I help them, after all that I've done, they no longer needed me, it's not fair.." she says as she starts to cry

"Please..I promise, we'll treat you better.." Tashi says as he gets on he knees to hug Serenity as she wails

"IT'S NOT FAIR! I DON'T UNDERSTAND!" She screams as Tashi comforts her, hugging her as well

"It's fine..don't cry..it's fine..that was in the past.." Tashi whispers as Serenity calms down, allowing to say something

"Alright...I-I'll help.." she hiccups as Tashi smiles

"Ok, now do you want me to carry you?" He says as she nods
