XII - So be it

I awoke in the middle of a small heap of crushed stone, still a bit dizzy, but sufficiently lucid to be intrigued to be alive. Am I alive?!? How can?! That stone should have torn me and not me, it ...I really need to answer? - Once again the voice came back to trouble my mind.- NO! Get out! Stop tormenting me! - I yelled to upset anything.A long silence succeeded that trouble, only then I noticed that all he wanted was to annoy me and I allowed it.I preferred to keep the silence, immersed in my afflictions, and remained so for a long time, until, in a thicket near mm, the noise of a branch is broken, ruined the peace of the environment. Instinctively, I turned to the bush waiting for some action, either of attack, to escape. That did not happen.Strange, I went towards where the noise came from, a bush average, and some branches bluish red, was moving without wind and had a shape reminiscent of an exotic animal. When I tried to look in it, moved it up and ran from me. What the hell is that? That was some kind of animal, which, until now, I do not know what it is, after all I never went back there.The scare made me step back and stumble in my footsteps. Taking advantage of the event, just rotate my head, saved energy, and watched the other bushes and trees, as I expected, everyone was moving like the one I played. In a way, this situation was very interesting and somewhat funny, after all those "animals" were very clumsy.I stood there, entertaining me for a long time. I seemed to see while interacting with the environment.Appeared. It did not take long for a gross investment of them, with his head against me, I escaped by a whisker, however, confused by fright, I had the same luck with what came next, as well as those who came the following, taking advantage of the situation. Long before I got to get me to straighten, then dodge the next investment.Wanting not to counterattack these exotic animals to try to tire them looked to see if they give up and would let me alone, dodging them. But they were so many and so persistent, that whoever I was just getting tired.So I gave up working on the ground and chose to fly away from them ara, however, I was struck again, those woods proved adept jumpers, being able to reach my altitude without problems, which hindered my escape attempt.No other means of getting rid me of those things and being already fatigued and hungry, I decided, then attack. Investment with the horns against the closest to me, who came to head against me too. When you reach it, I felt my whole body shudder, while I felt something shatter between my horns. When I opened my eyes and my sight defroster, saw that he had come against me sprawled on the floor, lifeless, his companions instantly stopped and started back, afraid. Taking a chance, I pulled the air to my lungs and roared as loud as I could and, in response, the herd retreated.As I saw them disappearing over the horizon, my stomach complained of hunger, especially for the sweet smell of blood that began to emanate from the strange animal at my feet. Handing me the instinct for survival and, above all, my body hungry, I bent down to the "trees-walking-that-smell-meat" if he was trying to know something at least resembling flesh. Fortunately, despite a somewhat different taste, under all those leaves, in fact, it consisted of meat.It was evening and I had enough, I began to feel the effects of fatigue, getting sleepy. I tried, then, somewhere sufficiently safe to relax and spend the night. It was not long until I enter a cave, inevitably, similar to where I lived during my first days of life. It was impossible not remind me, extinct, family and the pain of missing you. Then I fell asleep inside her, slowly shrunk in my memories.
The next day soon get more than I was used, it was still dark when I woke up and, judging by the position of several moons orbiting the planet, it was impossible to determine how long it took the early morning.Fearing being caught off guard by some animal species, preferred to stay inside the cave until dawn.So this is what I am doomed? Wander through this dull earth, like a helpless bird, alone for the rest of my life? What a cruel ... - I thought, irrelevantly.For the first time I had time to admire the artwork that I had won a gift from my brother, just before losing it to sempre.Com some twigs and leaves, which are lost in the cave, and piled up a weak puff of fire, lit a rustic fire to illuminate the cave. She was curiously beautiful, had many stalactites and stalagmites, and deeper, a small and beautiful lagoon. Leaving aside the cave for a moment, I turned to the cover, noting every detail worked well, the tying and then landed the look of the magnificent stone placed in my chest and noticed that she was like when there was Flame won the cover, now she looks like a yin-yang red and black with orange and blue circles, respectively. Flame did not tell me that and I could not even imagine how it fused my stone at him, and especially difficult to obtain in that format.
Later, just before sunrise, I decided to bathe in the pond of the cave. The water was incredibly refreshing and relaxing. I stayed there for a long time, forgetting all my worries.When the sun was high enough to heat the air, I left my home to suck some of that air, even somewhat fetid, was quite pleasant, thanks to the morning dew. The day before the bushes were on hand again, lying, apparently enjoying the sun. Even this life, which I thought would have to follow, appearing comfortable and pleasant, was not for me, it bothered me. I needed to find a way out of there.Sai then for a walk, bypassing the "animal-bushes" in order to avoid any further conflict. Just beyond the cave, found a quiet beach, impulsively, I moved the sand to the sea, sea which tasted like a few years before, with my family and other dragons, and have fun, even sea, for its allure, attracted many to death that surprise attack of "pink-animais-without-fur" Hard and painful lembraças came with those waves. Again let me travel in my memories and so stood, once again, for a long time.Once again, out of her trance, a deep pang of Perseverance sprang into my being and then looked up, gazing at the beautiful clear sky above, open, slowly, my wings, and with all the forces that could raise, boost air down throwing me to the top. I went on with a violent beating of wings until the air becomes thinner, plan for that altitude until you feel again, that strange feeling of self-sufficiency in my lungs, which was not long, and then stop once the planet's atmosphere.Abandoning the attraction that planets exert on me was more difficult than I expected, only after much effort, managed to overcome it, and once again found myself in the midst of endless black dotted with tiny lights.Beside me I had the suns that system behind, the planet where I was and others who relocated and those stars, in front of me, by far, been, and until recently, Drungsdom. Without many options, then follow the suns on the opposite side."Since I can not leave this life, so better make it worth every minute."With this in mind, hit wings toward the inevitable unknown.
