Dragons : The Dragon Hunt

72. The Exploration (Part 5) - Entering the Borders

(Handwritten, transferred here)

We finally crossed the rock borders hinting that we are finally entering the city borders. Knowing that we would finally see human-like figures on this particular city. We did checked the area first if there was an Agarthan that was watching us. We looked in our six and tried to observe the area for any movements, but we didn't saw nothing so we just had a move on. I finally raised my MK14 on me so I could ready myself from any danger.

"So Den, when we will arrive to the center of the city? ", Kent asked me, whispering, as I glanced at him and spoke.

"Well to be frank, I don't know when we will arrive that place ", I said, giving as sigh at Kent, he did sigh too. But he didn't complain about the this.

As so we know, we still don't know this place yet, so we kept ourselves outselves in alert to get all the information avout this new world that we had landed a while ago. We all raised pur gunsand cocked ourselves im every direction around to be alert on uknown hostiles. I was still walking with my balance, but I was still consumed by the weakmess that I had felt when I was drowning, but I still kept on myself. I was gettinga little nauseous for a moment. Then suddenly, I collapsed under my weight and landed on my both hands. My vision was blurring for a moment, as Dusty quickly came towards me, being worried. Dusty helps me to stand up by still doing the same thing ; helping me up, wrapping my left arm on the back of his neck. As he finally brought me up, he brings me into a boulder and sits me upright, my upper body leaning on the boulder.

As he sets me down and looked at me, he widens his eyes on terror and gasps loudly. I was still blinking in a long time to relieve my nausea for a little bit. My head was swinging around a little bit, as I did my best to stay on myself.

"Dennis! You're eyes! They are slits, again! ", Dusty exclaims at me, terrified, as I openee my mouth and tried to speak. As this time I literally had been panting heavily, to be honest, I don't know why I am panting, but I needed it.

"W-what? H-how? ", I stuttered, managing to spit out the words between some coughs, pants, and some groans. The question was barely like on breathing, inaudible but Dusty managed to understand it.

"I-I don't know! I-I have n-no Idea! ", Dusty stammered at me, shooking his head uneasily, knowing nothing on how to do something. Then suddenly, the other men of the gang had noticed me and Dusty and went towards us immediately. As I saw Kent ran towards us and checked me.

"What happened to Dennis? ", Kent asked Dusty worriedly, as he kneels down the ground and looks at le. As Kent finally saw my face, his face turned into sorry, but at the same time also terrified. He tried to open his mouth but he could not pronounce it properly, until he finally manage to speak the whole sentence.

"I'm.... worried to.... you.. I-I don't want you to be different from us, please", Kent's voice trembled, stuttering, stammering. He didn't release his tears from his eyes, but I know he wants to cry. I tried to open my mouth and sputter some words at the gang.

"We should... We should.. Move on.. ", I managed to say between the breaths and pants that I made. As I tried to look at Dusty for a while but a wave of pain suddenly hits me on my head. Due to the agonizing pain, I lowered my head down ans closed my eyes shut as hard as I can. I clenched my fists and squezzed it as hard as I can, after the wave ended, I signaled them that we shiuld move out now.

"Okay Den", Dusty whispered to me, still worried, as he turned to the rest of the gang and spoke, "Okay guys! Be alert as we move Dennis to a safe place! ", Dusty booms at them, as all the other men nodded at Dusty seriously and he looks at me again.
