15 Setting a Goal
Thud "huff' thud "huff" thud went the sound of dragging and fatigue in the dark hall's
two hour's of draging the two dragons the red under my right arm while Nox on my back finally got us back to the surface it should have been mid day at this time but the storm that came at the wards made the day look as if it was night.
Looking around i fully expected some form of welcome committee to be set in wait for us or at least some form of guards to look out for the red flight member's getting through the wards
but no.
looks like what ever mother and teacher are doing got them 100% sure of the victor "huff" no wonder the all lose the war at the end no planning in case things going wrong whatsoever.
At least it makes it easy for me to get to the lab cave...well as easy as dragging drake my size and broodling half of that could be, as i make my way away from the volcano down to the tree line i feel movement and stirring on my back looks like Noxarian is coming back to it.
"Mmmhhewhat wher?" Noxarian head popted to the side of my head giving me a grogi look, "well hello slept well?" upon hearing my voice Noxarian eyes gained focus that which he used to take fast look around our surroundings.
When his eyes looked to the dark stormy sky i could see fear set back in him but just as quickly as it came it went away in it's place however came something far worst.
Cold overwhelming sadness that kind that strikes away any joy and hope from anyone who would see it let alone a feel it his whole body suddenly felt to me even heavier then before as if he just wanted to lay down on the ground and stay ther forever, his head lowered almost to the point of dragging on the ground before he begin to quietly speak.
"so...it was not a dream...not a nightmare" his words came slow and his voice was cold somehow felt aged as if all live and hope have escaped him with that one realisation, he spoke it as if stating a fact but i felt he was waiting for my answer a confirmation or maybe last shard of hope for things to be otherwise.
i did not give it at first hoping that saddnes will go away any moment just like that fear hade....
...
...
...
.
"No" my answer to came as havy to him as his body was to me and upon hearing my answer he looked as if he was ready to flip of my back and just lay ther and was on his way to do so only to be stoped by my wings holding him away from the fall.
i paused just before the tree line just before some semblence of cover i left the red drake under shade of a tree turned after it i put Noxarian on the ground he looked sad and broken lost of all hope i was about to speak but he beat me to it.
"not a Nightmare...all of my broodmates are gone taken somewher to have ther minds broken... to server thos old gods." his voice was ragged almost as if he was to brake down and cry at any moment.
"to be just as empty as Nefarian was" ther was a tinch of anger in his voice.
"Not a Nightmare...i will never get to see Etrasian play pranks on Axantria ever again" this time i could see his theet show and anger take over saddnes in his voice.
but as he spoke i could feel my own anger grow at his words i knew not Noxarian broodmates but word of Etrasian's antics remainded me of Sabellion's and Onyxia's prank wars on all of our brood and how that is now gone.
"Never again get to hear Eridion's encouragements of my action!" his words now more shouted then spoken.
"Tenebrian" i feel my rage grow as magma boils in the back of my throat.
"never again get to see that reassuring Confident FOOL OF A FRIEND! he shouts out at me as if to heavens
"Nefarian" confident fool indeed...but my fool i can hear as my claws crunch the rock around me under my tightening grip.
"AND TO TOP IT ALL OF EVEN IF WE ARE TO LOOK PAST IT ALL AND RUN AWAY FROM HIR WE WILL JUST BE HUNTED OUR WHOLE LIVES!!!" this time he shouted it to the heavens.
"CRAKCCK!" gos the sound of my claws riping the rock under them in to shards and chuncks at that call to the world.
isn't it exactly how it would go after i would get away from this isle? i would run all over the world fight and gather artefacts spells and power as if dragon would horde gold i would horde power, then what hide away in some cave and then do what? wait in ther till some 40 man murderhobo party finally do me in to steal all of it?.
I would hide ther waiting the end of all things sleep ther as Onyxia get's gutted and her head smacked on Stormwinds keep's pike, hide ther as Nefarian's head makes appearance in ogrimmar, build ther as Sabellion get's lost in Drenor wait ther as god's know what fate falls down on Noxarian?
"how is this not a Nightmare..." all his ire spend Noxarian slomps down and takes deep slow breaths while watching the ground under himself fully uncering of my form towering above him.
How? how is lossing all of them not just some Nightmare?
Because only person who could have helped only want's power only cared so much for them as they could have been of use to me because that was all i want Power.
"no" hearing me speak Noxarian's head looked up at me from the dirt if only just a little
...wanted...
i look down on slomped form of my friend for first time see him as only that and not means of getting stronger and i give him my most reassuring self doubt lacking smile ever in my second life.
"This is no Nightmare No game" i see his head sway back to ground but stops as i begen to speak again.
"And that's why i am so demn happy about it" i pull my smile up even more as i see Noxarian's face rise to see my with surprise plasterd on his
"what?" was only thing he blurd out before i spoke on.
"What! what? our brothers and sisters have been taken ther minds under tentacles of some mad gods and ther servants our flight is compromised and we have no ally's what so ever to speak off other then one another the way i see it this old gods are as good as done."
Noxarian just stared at me as if i went mad
"for they missed one of the most thick headed drakes this flight has ever made a Craftsman who for love of his art risked wound or death just to get a bit of ruby's!" i can see him turn in full to watch me standing ever taller with eache word.
"A tough drake who with his rage a few short moments ago showed he cares for his brood and his demn reassuring Confident FOOL OF A FRIEND!" i could see that he was hearing to my words intently i hade his full attention now "EVEN MORE THEN HIS ART AND IF HE WAS READY TO DIE FOR A ROCK!, THEN THIS STAIN ON OUR FLIGHT AND BROODS HISTORY THINKING THEY GET TO TAKE AWAY OUR KIN GOT ANOTHER THING COMING FOR THEM!"
"THIS! is as seting up a goal on our to do list TO GET OUR BROODS! AND."
"OUR FLIGHT BACK!!!"Noxarians voice joined my no our goal is set
we are getting our live back
'hehmhahsdhme"
the two of us look to the tree line wher the red starts to stir and turn i did not needed to turn back to Noxarian to know he hade questioning look pointed to the side of my head.
"first we need to get out of this isle and he will help us with that now come help me move him we are not far from the cave"
to my words Noxarian smiply give a nod and we moved again i felt some form a system requirement get fulfilled but no message but i did not care we hade a goal now and our miss fit of a family will be save and free when we are done.
