Land Of The Dragon Riders

Chapter 13.

~~Kiza POV~~

His little brother? who could he be asking me to help save? I looked at him as he was pulling me down the hall, I couldn't swim to keep up so he felt this would be better. We arrive at a throne room, there were two thrones that sat empty and only he sat in one. I looked around to find a portrait of two young boys, only one could be seen clearly while the other was damaged. It was clear that they were both brothers, the only thing I could see was the damaged brothers' green eyes. They were beautiful, almost hypnotic. I looked at Kazan as he watched me.

"Speak," he exhaled a breath he must have been holding.

"He is lost, lost in the darkness that consumed him when our parents died. He was in so much pain that I didn't see, he hid it so well that I couldn't see it. Until it was too late." He looked down in shame, it wasn't his fault. Many of our siblings don't see that something is wrong, even if we warn them. I remember the night we lost Father, I tried to tell Akin that there was something outside but he was too tired to listen to me. This is something I can understand. 

"How long has he been gone?"

"I can't even remember the years that have passed, many years," he clenched the throne. "I should have known something was wrong, I'm his brother. I should have seen something." He lowered his head, I moved over to him and placed my head on his shoulder.

"There was nothing you could have done, all this was because he didn't want to worry you. He believed that he could fix everything by himself. But that was his mistake," I looked at the photo and sighed. "I know all about doing things alone." Kazan looked like he wanted to ask but voted against it, he was about to speak but I stopped him.

"Why are you denying the villagers the food they need to live?" I asked him and the look he gave me was something that I didn't understand, the look of confusion mixed with anger.

"Deny them? They are the ones that have hunted, tripped and enslaved water dragons. They either make them work as slaves or sell them off to the blood king," I looked at him and raged filled my eyes. I could feel my eyes change color, he was about to ask about them but stopped when something else came to his attention. He looked up when he asked.
"That friend you spoke about, the one that would try to get to you. I think he's trying to dive down here," I looked at him as my eyes widened. Looking out the window I could now feel him, I could feel his rage.

"Dragas."

~~~~Akin POV~~~~

I looked out at the ocean as Dragas continued diving into the after seeing how far he could go until he had to come back up for air. He was only hurting himself and if this keeps up, he'll wear himself out. I wanted to stop him but it would be useless, Dragas won't stop until he gets to my sister. I looked at everyone from the village, they were cowering in fear and they needed to be afraid. Dragas let out another roar as he resurfaced, his breathing was ragged and rough. He needed to take a break, Moon tried but even she couldn't get him to stop. He wasn't going to stop, he was trying more than I was. I looked up and felt like I was going to lose her, just like Father. I clenched my fists tightly, rage-filled my heart. I wasn't going to stand here and let her suffer. I started walking towards the water, the others called out to me but I didn't stop. Moon came up and lifted me onto her head, she started walking further out. Dragas watched as we came up next to him, I nodded my head and he understood. Soon after the others came over to us riding their dragons, they were ready to get her back. We started to move further out, Hook was already unable to touch the ground and was swimming out. We kept going ready to sea the length of the sea to find her but we were stopped by a wave that came up and somehow pushed even Dragas back. Back on shore, everyone in the village and we looked out to find the wave going down but to only be replaced by a dragon. But what surprised us is what came after, someone was being pulled behind the dragon. Quickly we saw it was a man, I think.
