The Last Guardian

Chapter 13

Sorry about the wierd update don't know what happened lol 😂

The first thing I heard was Trico howling. I was now seeing from a third-person point of view. I was lying in front of him on my back still unconscious. Trico was sitting in front of me howling and looking around worried. Minutes later he gently picked me up in his mouth and looked around the cage before jumping back up the way we came. Right outside the cage he dropped me lightly and waited for me to wake up but I still couldn't move. More minutes passed and he once again picked me up and this time took a left turn and went back outside. He took me near the edge but far back enough that I would have no threat of falling. This time when he put me down he took his right foot and tried to move me to wake me up but he just ended up moving me around and not waking me. Trico once again picked me up desperately looking for a place or something to spark an idea on how to wake me up. Next, he took me over to the small pool of water that I had spotted earlier and dropped me gently into the water. I was snapped back into my regular line of sight and not in the third person view. 

I got up from out of the water and wipe my face off then looked at Trico who was staring at me. 

"Hey there bud," I said smiling at him. He roared and yelped happily while jumping up and down and side to side. After he calmed down he pushed his nose into me asking me to pet him. I obliged gladly and pet him. He then picked me up by my shirt collar and threw me up into the air and I landed on his back. I told him to go back to the cage since it would be inactive and I also saw a small gap in the wall up above the gate on the far wall, opposite of where the drop down above the small beacon. When we got over there Trico jumped up and placed his two hind legs onto the wall and had his head level with the gap. I climbed his head grasping his feathers up his neck and head until I got to a stable part and I could stand but still had to crouch. 

I jumped over to the gap and gasped as I realized that I was falling down a pit to where I would meet a hard stone floor if I didn't grab the ladder that lined the one side of the wall. I quickly reached over and grabbed the ladder five steps from the floor. My hands hurt beyond belief but I had to pull the lever to let Trico through which was around the corner. I managed to raise the gate and let him through. I continued through another passage past the ladder and there was piles of dirt with multiple patches of grass on them where the stone had caved in. 

We got through the passage and came across an open area with a narrow railroad very high up that not even Trico could reach it on his forelegs and if he jumped onto it, it would collapse. On the railroad was an eye pattern in a round metal cage. The railroad went only a certain distance until it reached a point where the track was broken and would make anything that ran off and would fall into a massive pit that was too far down to see where it ended. 

Trico stopped short when he saw the eye. His heavy footsteps caused two soldiers to arise on the other side of the room. He couldn't fight back because of the eye, but the good thing was the wall was to high for the soldiers to climb up and hurt me or Trico but their magic flying symbols could still reach me and could fill and make my vision hazy and cloudy. I hurried to the left on a small path that was raised and on the other side of the trench that separated my side from theirs. Near the gate was a place where a bridge was supposed to be but it had been broken and I now had to jump across. Across the room was another raised walkway that had one ramp on each side. At the far left was a high wall that had only way up and that was by stones sticking out of the wall. 

Before the soldiers had ran over to the other part of the broken bridge I jumped across the gap and raced over to the far right ramp while the two soldiers took the left one. Behind me I had the soldiers gaining on me and Trico growling at the eye and roaring at the soldiers but was stuck in that spot until that eye was gone. I jumped onto the first row of stones then the next, at this point I was out of the soldier's reach and then I went up one more row then I was at the top of the wall. There were pillars against the far right wall that supported another space with a barrel that I could just barely see.

At the far back wall in front of me was a chain on a wire that ran from this wall all the way to above the railroad. That is how I'm getting across. I grabbed the wire and ran as fast as I could with the heavy chain in my grasp and when I got to the edge I jumped and the chain carried me over the soldiers and over to the track. I had to quickly climb the chain and get to the track and I just made it before the chain headed back. 

Once I get on the track it was a lot more narrow than it had looked before but I pushed that thought aside and hurried over to the eye and pushed it with all my might until it went off the end of the track and it fell down. Before it disappeared there was a small stone bridge that the eye fell onto and the cage broke then the eye shattered. As that happened Trico lunged down and a soldier was right below him and got crushed and it's blue mist scattered in the air. The other one grabbed a spear but could not throw it in time. It was crushed in seconds and after the mini battle he was riled up so I had to calm him down. After he was calmed down I pointed at the railroad above and he went under it to face a wall. He reared up on his hind legs, placing his forelegs on the wall, and his head was the perfect height with the tracks. 

I hopped up and ran down the narrow track that split down the middle and went straight or to the left and I had to go to the left if I wanted to let Trico through. The track came to an end with very jagged edges and a ladder leading farther down than the previous one. I gladly took the ladder this time because I was not going to make the same stupid mistake twice. Once I got to the bottom Trico was already waiting for me with his fore paws against the gate and he was ina a sitting position. I smiled at him and pulled the lever, raising the gate. After it was up I called for him and ran down the path the opposite direction of the previous area.

The next place had very large pillars, larger than all the previous ones that I had seen before. I stood before a small staircase and looked around until my gaze landed upon a huge eye in the air. It had many different wires and ropes attached to it. There were feathers and odd forms of geometry hanging around it too. Trico finally made his way over here and when he saw all the patches of grass and the large open area he began to sprint but not for more than a few seconds before he spotted the eye. He came to a quick halt and growled backing away from the eye.
