I finally had to resort to Write Or Die to actually get anything out, but now it seems to be getting a little more exciting.
Oh, and Happy Single Awareness day!
And sorry I haven't posted in like a week. I'm just really bad at blogging I suppose.
Part One
Part Two
Part Three
(Edit: I forgot the first two paragraphs yesterday)
Kelana stared in a way that seemed to ask, "Are you stupid?".
Nezinth didn't notice the expression, for he had cocked his head to the right, as if listening for something. Kelana frowned, listening as well. She heard nothing but silence however.
Suddenly Nezinth leaped at her, quick enough that she had no time to react. He tackled her to the floor just as there was a great explosion of dust and rock.
Kelana felt a blush rising to her face as the the boy covered her body with his own, shielding her from flying projectiles of lethal stones. There was a rumbling, and then another explosion.
After that there was silence.
Nezinth slowly got off of Kelana, rolling to the side and then sitting back up to see if she was okay. She was doing fine, aside from the blush that had risen to her face at the shock of having him that close to her. She laid on the floor, breathing heavy.
After nodding to himself at Kelana's unharmed condition, Nezinth stood and faced the direction of the blast. There was a moment of silence, and by then Kelana's shock was wearing off, and her curiosity was acting up. She shuddered once at the thought of Nezinth on her, even though he had been protecting her, then she sat up to see what was happening.
And somehow managed to stay conscious, though she grew light headed.
Sticking it's head through a giant hole in the wall, was a big, green dragon. Kelana's mouth dropped open wide.
A dragon! She thought to herself. I'm seeing a real dragon! Nezinth had said that he was a dragon, but she hadn't seen a lick of evidence for that.
The giant green dragon's giant pink eye focused on her, though she couldn't quite tell because Nezinth was standing in front of her.
YOU THOUGHT WE WOULD NOT KNOW? A voice suddenly pounded in her head. She cried out in pain, and dropped her head into her hands .
She felt a hand on her shoulder, and she felt the pain easing away . She looked up to see Nezinth had drawn closer to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
Leave, dragon brother, She heard Nezinth's voice in her head. This is the Mother Dragon's Temple. Do not dishonor her, He sounded like he was threatening the dragon. It seemed so funny, that a small boy should challenge a giant dragon, that she almost laughed. Almost.
He sounded confident too, which made her wonder.
SHE MUST BE DESTROYED, The voice said in her head again, but not so painfuly.
Destroyed? Me? She thought to herself Why? Her head was only beginning to clear of confusion, but the dragon was adding to it.
She is the mother dragon! She heard Nezinth arguing with the dragon. He didn't sound so confident in that statement, but he said it anyway.
THE MOTHER DRAGON? NO. SHE IS NOT, YOU FOOL, The dragon roared.
Well, at least no everybody thinks I'm the Mother Dragon, She thought to herself.
She is the Mother Dragon! Nezinth thought loud and clear again.
OH REALLY? AND JUST WHAT DOES SHE HAVE TO SAY TO THAT?
Nezinth looked at Kelana. She shook her head. "I am not the Mother Dragon." In fact, she still couldn't believe all of this was happening. Dragons? No, they couldn't be real. She decided that she simply must be delusional.
SHE MUST BE DESTROYED The green dragon roared again, and growled.
Then he shape shifted.
He turned into a human. Just like Nezinth. Just like a normal mid-thirties man. This was a dragon?
Kelana sat with her mouth agape once more. She couldn't comprehend how all of this was happening.
"Now, how would you two like to die?" The man asked, his voice still deep and large as that of the green dragon.
