Ice Heart

The Blue Dragon Village

I decided to stay with Yona and the others for a while longer, I couldn't bring my heart to let go of the feeling, the need to protect Yona. We walked for days maybe weeks and still no sign of the blue Dragon warrior or even his Village, meanwhile Ki-Ja grow really frustrated that he couldn't be of much help to Yona. Every time we camped I stayed awake the night and trained, after a while my body got a more used to my old fighting style. I could almost jump and fight as I did before I fall of this damn Cliff. At some point I suddenly could feel some strange but familiar Aura 'is this. . .' I looked to the Mountains that were a bit away from us.

„Emi-Ri come here, we have a clue where the blue Dragon could be“

I heared Yoon yell my way, I walked over to the group and stood behind Yoon. I looked over his shoulder and for a second I could feel that he was nervous, he cleared his throat and pointed at the Map. He pointed directly at the Mountains I was looking at a moment ago, 'did I really felt his Aura?' we made our way through the mountains and arrived at a entrance into the mountains, as the others stared to go in i stopped.

„You coming?“

I heared Hak's voice and looked at him, then back at the entrance. I hasitaited for a moment but dragged my feet to move in, I wasn't comfortable with this. I hated to go in there, the dark wasn't what made me uncomfortable. The small space in there was more of a problem to me, I felt captured. I hated small spaces since . . . My hands were shaking a little as we walked in. As we walked into the Mountain I could feel the Aura of many people but it was no one there, I could feel them watching us. Suddenly standing around us where many people, some of them were wearing strange masks

"where is the blue Dragon? Give him to us now"

Ki-ja said to these people bold, I grabbed the back of my nose with two fingers and shaking my head in disbelief

"We have no I idea what you are talking about, someone with this name does not exist here"

the eldest said. We looked at each other and nod

"I'm sorry Sir, we are searching for a friend but it seems that we are in the wrong place again. Could we please rest here for a while, we have injured people with us"

Yona explained and Hak and I showed them our bandaged body's

"You can rest here, but don't move around, the ways are like a labyrinth and inexperienced people can get lost easily"

as I looked around I saw that the villagers were watching us, i had a very strange feeling in my Stomach. The deeper we got into the Mountain the more uneasy I felt, i don't like Bering trapped in a small dark space or being trapped in the first place. It brought back some horrible memories that I had almost forgotten,
We got a cave like room and I set down in a corner. My body started to tremble and I tried not to think about this memories but every time I closed my eyes for a second the pictures came back to me, I just nearly heared that the others made a plan to look for the blue Dragon

"Hey Emi-Ri, is everything alright?"

I looked up and saw that Yoon was standing in front of me with everyone else looking at me

"Yes, I'm fine"

"really? You look kind if pale"

"I said I'm fine okay"

I rised my voice a little because I didn't want them to ask or know

"fine, we want to go and look for the Blue Dragon, you want to come with us?"

I nod and walked behind them. But everywhere we go it was a dead end, we couldn't find a way or a hint that would lead us to the blue Dragon. We returned to our cave and set down again, until we realised that Yona was gone. We searched everywhere but we couldn't find her, she was gone. We took Yoon' s Map and looked everywhere we where but nothing, suddenly we could hear a sound like a small bell and around a corner came Yona. We run up to her and I was so relieved to see her unharmed, my eyes where suddenly catched by a figure standing behind Yona. It was a Man with blue cloth and wearing a Mask with some fluffy white hair in the back, his aura felt very familiar  and I had the feeling that I knew him 'his Aura feels like . . . Abi. . .but that's impossible' as soon as the Man and Ki-ja looked at each other he run away and we lost track of him. We returned to our Cave and set down, Yona and Ki-ja were sure that this man was the blue Dragon and I was sure too

"I want to look for him again, i have to talk to him"

Yona said

"okay then let's go"

Hak said but Yona stoped him

"no Hak, you stay here and rest. I can take care of this myself and I'm not alone, I have Yoon, Ki-ja and Emi-Ri with me."

I was shaking my head as the two of them were discussing this, but at the end he couldn't win against Yona. So Hak stayed behind and we four walked back to one of the dead end ways

"are you sure that here is a way?"

Yoon asked. I had a very bad feeling as Yona scanned the wall in front I f us with her hand. Suddenly the Wall opened and and stairs appeared

"What are you doing here?"

We turned around and found the Villagers standing there

"go, hurry. I will take care of them"

Ki-Ja told us and Yona and Yoon run down the stairs. I hasitaited for a while and looked in the darkness

"go!"

Ki-Ja pushed me forward and I run after Yona with a bad feeling. Thanks to my eyes it wasn't that bad, I could see quiet well in the darkness but that doesn't change the fact that I was really not much space to move down there. I followed my nose and soon found Yona and Yoon, they were standing in a cave on the ground in front of them the men with the mask and fluffy white wig. He was sitting on the floor and staring at us, I could feel that he didn't trust us and that let me be on guard.
