XIII - For what?

Before long I lost track of time amidst the black void that will soon dominate me, only I was sure that long since flowed from me, because whatever he did not know if it was "day" or "night", the was tired and in periodic moments, I literally went out, surrounded by the cold embrace of intangible assets, which took on without me I could stop. So, slowly, time was running from me, boredom and lack of feeling and increasing self-sufficiency annoying me. I missed being hungry, thirsty, need to breathe... Anyway, live. Time has not robbed me just feelings, but also took away my old physicist, however, not so bad.
I grew a lot during all this time, it no longer seemed the lizard with wings that every baby dragon appears, now I filled out my neck grew, thickened and become more sinuous, forming an "s", the muscles of my developed legs, but not much, since I could not exercise them. But, in fact, the most notable changes were in my wings, tail, face and back. My wings have become almost three times the size of my body and became very powerful, due to the continuing pursuit of "fly". My sauce, I served as a rudder during the trip, had been also muscular and powerful, crystalline spikes also grown, and the middle of it, several sharp spikes sprouted. My horns grew and began to flake and become more deadly, the features of my face became more robust, explaining my gender, male and, from the spike from my eyes up to the nearest club, in my sauce, already begun to fall, became the softer, thin and gray.
Darky, as I have dubbed the "spirit" who lived inside of me, no longer haunted me since I gave up trying to kill me, seemed to be in a deep sleep, although I suspect that it was he who caused that feeling of self-sufficiency.
And time ran slowly.

Then I came to a star, actually three, one primary and the other two orbiting. Heat them flooded its gravitational field and beyond. About three planets were visible from that point where I was. One of them caught my attention because it sprang from a faint, as if he had built his own star. No more waiting, I went to him, curious, and somewhat hopefully, in power, perhaps, to end this trip at random.
The planet, which was the last of three that my sight could reach, was, at that distance, extremely beautiful, so it was possible to discern amid the shrill brightness of the planet and of the nebulae which overshadowed the landscape beneath them. Portions sovereign separated portions of water, also plenty of land, and this, in some isolated spots, large portions of bright green stood out the only thing that impoverished landscape, a dull gray, cold and dreary that covered most earthy portion of the planet.
At first glance strange, do not deny. Never, in nature, I had seen so much gray in the same place, even in our villages, the former Drungsdom, consisting of rough stone, it was almost impossible so rock on the surface, and grouped in such numbers, I point out that train dee blur.
Approached me more and more was possible to discern the details of it. The gray blur soon became a mass of complex constructions desinforme, compared to Drungsdom rustic buildings, tall buildings scraped the atmosphere, other buildings, relatively more creepers, transformed the landscape into something more heterogeneous, breaking, casually, the excessive gray. But something else was distracting and acizentava further evolved planet, a dense gray smoke, like we, dragons, cast out puffs of fire to let go, making it even more obstructed the view of the planet.
So, I approached the planet enough to lure him began to pull me and my sense of self-sufficiency began to weaken. With hunger, tiredness and the need to breathe back, descidi then throw myself on the planet, leaving me the seriousness of this, as a meteor that becomes the meteorite be admitted by the planet.
For what?
I was greeted by an intoxicating cloud of gas, toxic, and so dense that I came to feel, slightly, that blessed feeling autossuficiênci back, besides having completely obstructed vision, passing then to fall blindly. Subtly, was out of the black cloud, and finally was able to observe, with greater detail what he had to offer.
Taking over the position of the suns, I was starting out the day I entered that place. And for that reason, the pathways through those buildings were deserted, except for some stray animals routes and several complex machines and weird, and several bright spots caused the glow that had brought me to that peaceful planet. Without much else to do, as the faint dawn prevented me to observe more details of place, effectively I directed me to the top of a building nearby and decided to wait there until enough suns illuminate the landscape.
So far from where I stood, a strange metallic clang called my attention. Do not quite know what he stated, but judging what happened then it certainly marked the beginning of the day.
Life began to spring from within the buildings. Life in this case shown as strange beings tall, his body covered with thick, but beautiful, for they, indeed, of different colors ranging from acceptable, as black, caramel, ashes, absurd such as reds, purples, greens, had a muzzle jumped, but the face in a whole was flat, the ears had different formats, from simple, just for the hearing, the large and pompous, which was probably synonymous with beauty among them, besides a long and beautiful tail, very hairy in some. Reminded of some animals Drungsdom, said cats, but these were bipedal and more robust than the felines in Drungsdom.
I do not deny, I was amazed at the sight of those exotic animals as they were even more different than the animals-pink-without-fur, although they were more beautiful. I stood there for a while about that strange, flat rock, watching the movement of those eccentric beings. They locomoviam as much walking as in their interesting contraptions that resembled large bottles and closed with wheels.
So I went down down.
For what?
I landed softly on the floor and tried to bring me closer to the group. I left a slight throat purring away (Yes, I purr, but more resembles a rawr shaked than a purr) and let his head tilted trying to demonstrate ingenuity and curiosity. But the more I tried to count, the more they moved away from me, fearful, many ran screaming, and the frequency of acute cries, which were deduced, largely female, things hard to understand. So I decided to try another approach, closing your eyes and opened his mouth, sweet liberated rawr's followed by labaretas graceful, like a light show. To me it looked very beautiful and worthy of jokes. He hoped that they would like and get close to me, but when I opened my eyes, there was nobody in front of me in some more of them running, farther out.
Suddenly I felt something quickly ensnare and tighten my neck just felt Darky agree, though, before we could show any reaction, a powerful impact was inflicted upon my neck.
And I fainted.

I can not say I woke up as well, because the darkness of the place was such that the mixing of my coma. There, too, knew where he was, and even got to find out later, anyway. The only thing I could discern was a passage blocked by some object that seemed to float in order to let light beams of light shine on its edges. Later it was discovered that object port.
After a long and uncertain period, the light beam in front of me rose and bathed all over the place, blurring my vision momentarily, unaccustomed to the light, then a major, massive tail, and having the same beings that I had watched. Stood at the door of that little room and said something out loud, but I could not understand anything he said. Then he repeated.
- Arise! - This time I understood perfectly well what he said, despite not knowing what will happen as well. Apparently not out Darky, since I could not feel any difference in my being to indicate his action, but also could not find another explanation.
- Arise, Beast! - At the stroke of the third roar of the charm of surprise to have understood what he said were broken and was replaced by pure fear of what he could do if I did not obey, so I got up, keeping me in silence.
- Finally! - The rage of contempt in his voice shone - Now, come with me! - Saying this, he turned aside, releasing a close where I could pass. I slowly moved toward me. In fact, until I moved too slowly, as if he had just finished a thorough job and was unearthly me to a quiet, comfortable place to sleep.
Hoped that I would be guided somewhere, but instead was put the lead of a small group of these strange beings, like I was the captain of an expedition. At that time it was possible to analyze what surrounded me: the figure that berrara me, showed up, certainly one of those strange beings, possessed by an orange cast to the members well trained and worked, but the body in a whole was bulky and his expression was serious and sudden. Besides him, other beings of the small group, also members of the same race, both very similar to the first, but having less pomp in the countenance. All patients had fulfilled a tool and wide, ending in three sharp, pointed tips, or, as you probably already have noticed, tridents, tools were pointed at my neck and periodically pushed against him, so I walked ahead.
And so we, in a mutually solemn march. As we proceeded, the scenery around seemed simply undergoing a metamorphosis in a matter of steps, the big gray buildings quickly gave way to lush forests and sandy soil, however, still this way, the landscape exuded beauty and splendor.
Surely you must be thinking now "How so?", and I do not blame you for it, anyway, after living with your kind, human reader, I discovered that some things do not make sense in your Indeed, as the fact of a landscape, simply change, in a matter of mere few steps, especially at idle where we were, and tridents are things somewhat outdated for a civilization apparently evolved like that. But soon, you will understand, I assure you.
Suddenly, then, tridents were removed from my neck and placed in 'x' in front of me, symbolizing that I stopped. Raised, because the view for the first time since the walk began, in order to know the reason for the stop. We were all dressed up to a front seat, surrounded by gold, and earth and trees, sitting in, was one of those big cats. This red coat was marked by various symbols in yellow throughout the body, or at least throughout the visible part of this which, incidentally, was wide as he wore very few clothes, compared to the group that had brought me up there , summed up in a simple loincloth on the private parts, however, yet little is seemed to be worth much more than all that the soldiers claimed. It was also robust, but appeared to have more pomp and prestige.
I watched him for a moment, just as he had for me. Still not what was happening was happening and trying to digest all this information when, suddenly, a movement so fast that it seemed longer be teleported himself, he disappeared from his throne and reappeared a few centimeters my nose, hanging, upside down, looking at me more intently than before.
- Let's see what we have here? - Said giving small flicks in my horns - What are you doing here, little one?
Only nodded, looking symbolize that had nothing to do there.
- Nothing? But why, then, you are here and they were scaring my people? - He said that putting his nose closer to me, so threatening.
Shrunk a little with the tone and approach him and threatening once more fearful, and do not know how to explain myself without words, I said, not caring whether or not he would understand me.
- I'm-I'm sorry, I did not want to scare anyo... - I had to cut the speech. Now that the cat turned his face expressionless and relaxed for a denoting the pure fear and panic. With a movement as quick as before, he fell where he was hanged.
- Wait a minute there... I know that your accent. Thou art the Drungsdom, is not it? - Barely able to nod yes and he turned to or soldiers and they knew that they would take a terrifying sermon. - Come out here right now, his incompetent! Do not know how prestigious is the visit of a friend dragon to treat him well?! - He ordered it with reverberating cry and soldiers came stumbling. He grabbed what was closest to me before it could move and whispered something inaudible. Soon after he made a reverence, and began to run.
I was watching the soldiers ran away, trying to understand what was happening. When I went back to look ahead I had to throw myself back because of the scare that took. That cat who gave the sermon in the other was now so close to me that it would touch his nose if it was not my reaction.
- Oh, my rudeness! Let me introduce myself, I am the king Hango Sha, reign over the entire southern portion of the continent of Musu, but that you may already know, is not it? - The question was rhetorical and then he gave it a lively laughter in the air. I gave thanks for it, since even realize why he has changed the treatment to me suddenly, much less who he was, or that kingdom. - So tell me charitable dragon, what brings you here in this beautiful day? And what happened to the ancients? There is much we do not have news of your people.
Again I found myself trapped. Do not know how to explain to him that Drungsdom not even exist anymore, even with him looking at me with that look so anxious.
- Lord, the feast is ready - The relief came over my body again when one soldier who had run away finally returned with the information. I was somewhat surprised, too, with the speed with which the soldier had given information about the banquet had been prepared and the same.
- Hmm... Right. - It was clear in his voice, he did not like being interrupted - Follow our distinguished guest, however, and soon I shall gather to you. - And with that, the king went up in the tree just above.

We walked the same path by which I was taken to the king, but now I could walk freely without a pitchfork in my neck and without being forced to walk, which gave me admire the scenery better. The green of the place was such that I could hardly believe it, mainly because he was in the middle of a gray blur, blur it, in fact, I could not see.
When we had already distanced enough from the king's throne, the word addressed to the soldier.
- Excuse me... - The soldier did not turn up, but grunted in response - Eh... It may be a weird question, but... Where am I?
Although he tried to hide, the soldier hinted a little surprised at my question.
- You are the kingdom of Cerôna, the largest of all the kingdoms of the world Ono, located on the continent of Musu, the main continent of our planet. - After this information became apparent surprise of the soldier, I was the most important point of that planet and did not know.
- Hm... right, and... what are you? - This time the soldier turned, visibly surprised and amazed.
- Sorry, but as your Lordship comes to our planet so uninformed? - He asked, puzzled.
- I-I, uh... I came here by chance ... - I answered as quickly as I could.
- By chance? Hm... - I felt my throat dry as he reflected about the information - Okay, so - And my relief to see the smile on his face - We are from the Verinades - are cats, humans, felines - We stand out in these least developed for our brother's intelligence and dexterity, making them vastly superior and developed. As we are of the same family, our species is named after as Verinades Felix or Cougars, as we prefer to be called. It was clear? - Asked by keeping the smile before.
- Perfectly. - Actually, it took me a while to digest that information as well.

Soon our little journey came to an end, we were in the midst of gray blur. I do not know when they leave the vegetation behind, it was still digesting the information given to me, but when I looked back, I could not see anything but gray, as if all that vegetation was simply not there anymore.
We were in front of a huge building, but this was not gray, but white with hundreds of details in gold. The walls of the building were lined by several statues, gigantic beings very similar to the Pumas, but emanated superiority and power. They were gods. All wore strange objects, even you, man, I assure you.
He had never seen such elaborate construction in Drungsdom, so I stopped admiring it for a while. Later I discovered that nothing could compare to that building and nowhere in the worm.
Unfortunately I could not stay there long, because the soldier already had advanced to the door and was waiting for me. Against my will to stay there, admiring the building, sped up the pace I approached the soldier.
The building had a huge hall, open to anyone who came here. The decorations were visible everywhere, a more pompous than the last. There was a small desk in a corner, where some Pumas met hastily civilians who arrive there. In our line had two huge wooden doors, extremely, framed. We walked toward them. As we walked, the creaking of my jaws hitting the floor, composed of a sort of flat stone, full of colorful designs, called the attention of the bystanders. I saw some cringing when they see me, I assumed they were some of the friendships that I tried earlier.
Now, we come in the doors. The soldier stepped forward a little more and pushed them with two legs, opening them.
For what?

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.

XI - No!

      Now I was definitely not alone in that universe through cold and dark, studded with small points of light.  No longer find any reason to continue my sordid experience, if I could order one from that same moment, to my regret, certainly would.
      Even with eyes swollen from crying, trying to spot something deadly enough to make my will.  To my misfortune, there was nothing deadly, or rather, there was absolutely nothing. That site, if it could be called, was emptier than emptiness itself.
      Still, a continued search, frustrating, for an end to my being.  Again let the tears come, tears of anger, frustration, fear.  Could no longer stay there, I had to go somewhere, anywhere but there.  Thus, I opened my wings and started to wander to nowhere, toward endless.  It was so unaware of where it was more like a celestial body, inorganic, wandering aimlessly, a living being.  Actually, I felt that way.
      Dejectedly, imitated the movements of a normal flight and I was me, the universe outside.  The sensation of flying in that vacuum was completely different from flying in a normal environment.  With weak impulses I would far, barely kept me moving and not slowed down, the wind was not being pushed by my wings, in fact, hardly felt the motion of the flapping.  It was like I was being loaded instead of being carrying me.
      The ending was vague at the same time, relaxing and tantalizing.  The time lengthened slowly, while large distances and, consequently, my old life was left behind.  Each flapping was more painful than the last, not physically, but emotionally it was hard to imagine that everything was gone, suddenly.
      Soon he was so far from my old Suns that they appeared only two stars shared among thousands of others.  Now I was lost in darkness, saw only small dots no matter where you look distant, small lights that frequently saw my loneliness.  At that time, worn by so many events in a row, without rest and without food, I was tired of flying, moreover, had never flown before so, no matter how much of the course has not been so stressful.  My wings begged rest, my body was starting to fatigue, yet did not stop.  My determination to end this anxiety was stronger than the fatigue.  Much time has passed away and a lot was left behind.
      
      After much wandering, I began to interact with a new force had invaded the gravitational field of a new sun, much larger than the two suns Drungsdom warming, more intense and extremely red.  Three major rock globes surrounding it, slowly.  At the sight of them, a new load of adrenaline into my blood has broken barriers and dashed toward the nearest.
      There was plenty of water in it, so you could see as I approached, also marked very green part of the planet's surface.  But largely, it was gray and brown, which to me seemed like the perfect environment.
      Raise my last reserves and I infiltrated the atmosphere of the celestial body, with difficulty, but I went.  The moment I came into contact with the air of the planet, I felt my lungs emptied and the need to breathe again, and a light breeze to welcome me, waving his shirt that I had earlier Flame, which had even forgotten  I was using.  The air of that place had an odor quite different from what I was used, half bitter, half foul, but still it was good to feel my lungs filling and emptying again.
      Although pleasing to arrival on the planet, did not let it interfere with my purpose.  I landed heavily on the rocky surface, and a step of step, a little uncomfortable with the clothes, but nothing that disturbed, ran out to find something I could use to put an end to me, saving my wings for a possible future use.
      The place where I stood was rocky, lifeless, but there was reasonable puddles of water everywhere.  When a pass in front of them, I noticed my reflection and went to see it better.  A weak aura circled my body shivered by unequal sets itself from my head to the tip of my tail, giving me an evil look, the coat I got from my brother earlier now contain small tears, almost negligible, and  seemed somewhat charred, damage probably reflected the latest developments.  I stood before that mirror natural for long seconds, looking without seeing, thinking without thinking.  "What we've become?"  It was the only thing that dared to disturb my thoughts and the worst is that I did not know the answer.
      At that moment I sat down, without taking their eyes off of that reflection.  "I am a monster... I now understand why I so feared...".  Get out of the trance, suddenly and without leaving the place, turned his head almost hemispherically, what I was looking back, but that quiet place contained nothing deadly enough, the pools were more shallow compared to me,  trying to drown me, the stones were very round, could not pierce my heart sore.  My misery only increased.
      Given the lack of structure in place, I was forced by the will to get up again, to then move me to search for a more acidentável, abandoned, now, that my hideous picture.  He seemed much more desert planet as I unfold it, there was nothing but stones and water, already suspected that the green I saw was just an illusion.
      I walked a great distance until the landscape changed: now the water prevailed and a simple vegetation blunted the edges of large lakes.  It also showed my chance now.  Without much thought, I threw myself in which I first approached the lake.
      I swam as fast as I could so that if I give up, could not emerge again.  The water was nice and cozy, tomb best I could wish.  However, something seemed to have gone wrong.  I heard a hideous and distorted voice screaming in my thoughts: No!
      After that I lost all control over my body, again did not feel the need to breathe and swim, unintentionally, but consciously to the surface.
       What do you think you are doing & # 150; barked the voice in my head.
      & # 150; Trying to put an end to my suffering & # 150; not to know who answered.
       I will not let you kill me. 
      & # 150; How well kill you?
       will tell you is that you do not know & # 150; reluctantly inquired.
      & # 150, Long Helike I am, or at least, was...  & # 150; said still shaken by the events that occurred at such a short time.
       As can be so hypocritical!  You, or we, is owned by the hierarchy of all the most powerful dragons exist, virtually invincible, immortal, unstoppable.  You're not just a black dragon, and would not, because these horns are your specific hierarchy of our powerful and I am the source of such powers, I am you, we are one. & # 150, finished in a  malicious tone.
      Those words fell like a torrent of freezing water over me, adding to my current angst.  As well it is me?  As well belong to a hierarchy which have no kinship?
        This hierarchy, which you are denying, is different from common hierarchies.  Fortunately, I'm so layman on the subject as you.  It will be interesting to see you suffer with this question. & # 150; This time ended with an evil laugh that was echoing in my head to disappear.
      Then the silence began to torture me and stayed until I break it a jerk, not going to let everything go on, that was more determined to kill me and, amazingly, I felt a certain pleasure to imagine the pain of the fracture, the blood gushing , life is fading, however, do not imagine this happening to me, at first, but with the elder chief of Linsgui.
      I flew, hampered, due to the wet weight of the cover, looking for a sharp stone, and sarcastically, I thought.  Without thinking twice, again, threw me against the apex of it.  It was a smash, followed by a knockout impact.

---

Because this is me ₢ Helike Long
Don't use without my permission;

X - Inevitable confrontation

 I was in the middle of beautiful and beautiful Linsgui, the time when the flowers sprang up, the birds filled the sky with his songs in search of a partner, the scent of new leaves of the trees filled the air.  Moreover it was the time of birth of the pups that have been waiting for her eggs warm so they could get out and meet the environment.
      My baby and I were female, as much in that place, waiting for the end of the incubators of our ward.  Many who passed by us, looked at us with some disgust in his eyes, unfortunately, we knew why.
      The weather was nice this morning, the Linsgui emanated from everywhere, new sounds filled the air at every turn, signal the new lives they decided to break the shell of their eggs.  And we stood there, waiting, being bombarded by the looks of closed expressions, they passed us.
      The days passed slowly as our two suns altitude gained the perspective of those who watched them.  Increasingly union grunts to the symphony of sounds from the environment.  The elders were at the center of the edge formed by nests rustic, chanting blessings upon the little ones as they arrived.
      The afternoon came to a joint series of misty threatening, looked at my female, who by now was worn out by long waits, and she understood what I wanted to look over: "There is rain coming." The number of births had already begun  decreasing and, consequently, temperance began to take the place of symphony grunhosa too.
      Soon the first signs of rain showed up and I lifted my wings on my and our female egg, to protect them from the onslaught that was to come.  There was nobody there but us and the water.  It did not take long for the lightning tore the sky above us, me and my female we were thinking we withdraw from there, although it hurt the customs of the village.  However, the sound of the third radius, the shell cracked, and from top to bottom, following the crash following a small black dragon, the antlers of a crystal blue, broke the egg, grunting for the scare of the shock with the new reality .
      Finally our Helike born Long.
      Suddenly I woke up, felt a strange energy contracting my young body, I noticed, too, could not breathe, yet I do not make much difference at that moment, it seemed that my lungs were producing my own air, eliminating the inhalation of a new .
      When I finally opened my eyes the first thing I've seen, or rather tried to see was a big emptiness, an endless pitch.  I blinked my eyes to get used to the clarity, or lack thereof, and then managed to spot many points and plenty of light lost in the endless.  By turning my head trying to understand where was the sight that illuminated Drungsdom two suns, and Culuon Virenies, as close as never before.  It was then that I realized what it was, I was no longer in Drungsdom but outside it, in the endless universe.
      I struggled a bit to try to remember and understand what had brought me there, but there were attempts to information in my head that I could not organize anything in my thoughts, except for one particular memory, one I'd certainly not be my  the memory of my birth.
      It was confusing to imagine that I knew as myself was born, there was no way I even had full knowledge that he was born, much less than before this happened.
      It was amazing how my parents took care of me and stood next to my eggs all day, even in the rain.  But the memory still was very hazy thoughts contained more than pictures.  I could not, however hard I tried to distinguish my egg.
      Then everything disappeared, was swallowed by an unsettling calm, which, coupled with the calm and quiet of the Universe monotonous, reached the unbearable.
      Suddenly, another feeling overlapped the other, an uneasy feeling able to either: Fear.  Fear of the unknown, fear of what might happen in that place of fear and never allowed to return to Drungsdom, my home, which at that time, I thought to still exist.
      So instinctively, I tried to run, run of the place, escaping the unknown, however, to my surprise and despair, as much as I tried frantically to move me, right out of place, this is out.  But during my attempt to leave the astonishment of all, I hit the wings, unintentionally, and drives me forward, slightly, but much more than before while trying to run the vacuum.
      Relief washed over me and eased the tension in my body once I discovered how I could move, however, was soon taken away from me to make way for a new scare: A huge stone now, flaming, just above my head and threw  Me, spinning away.  When looking in the direction whence came the rock I saw a heap of dust and rocks floating in nothing.
      They could do nothing and the result of accumulated fury of my little Helike grew and swallowed, monstrously, everything appeared to him by frente.Meu male red and my puppy was restless though, clearly, controlling.  "Let us join Helike?" He smiles.  They looked at me puzzled and sad, but agreed.  I walked to the closest to my runaway cub and hummed a little charm, I learned from my mother, all three of us.  "I hope one day forgive us, babe.".
      This sudden memory was sharper than the first and I could see ahead of me in the center of a black sphere of energy, which swallowed everything he encountered, while the elders to stop us.  After waiting to see growing up to be huge in front of me and then nothing.
      When I regained my senses and I reviewed that seemingly crumbling planet.  Just a thought 
haunted my mind: "I killed them, all of them.."  And burst into tears.

IX - Uncontrollable

The day after the sad occurrence, the parents of Helike could not even look at the small, much less treat it bad to test the charm.  Therefore, they decided to jump the greatest possible ordeal once and asked him to change his attitude Flame with his brother to find out if in fact would have given everything right.

The young dragon was extremely upset with the request of parents, discussed long before, for love, surrender to the request and decide who would mistreat his brother, breaking the only friends he had left.

They know full well that would hurt the poor more than any Helike one there because they have to treat him so badly, however, either did, or the situation could be much worse, in this case not only pro tiny, like for all  in Lanshi, as a joke in bad taste could unleash the fury of the spirit.

However, before attempting to treat his bad brother, Flame decided to give it one last pleasure, at least, he hoped, an ultimate pleasure for hours, hoping the charm and acting was really ephemerally he and his brother could live in harmony as before .

The couple decided to give his cloak, almost like his brother had won the previous day, as a kind of tribute to his brother who has suffered so much and had to suffer even more.

- Why is this giving me your cloak, bro?  She is everything, can get!  - Helike innocently said, refusing the gift.

- You deserve it bro, besides, your rent.  And I also want to keep as a memento of our union, since even the stone's quota is a mixture of both of us.  - Flame said sweetly, trying to avoid counter-arguments.

- But...  hunf...  Well, I'll keep it with my life, my big brother!  - Helike said with a smile as big as could fit on his face.

Later that day, Helike and Flame went out to play in a field near the home, however, relatively far from the village, he needed to start exercising the request of their parents and, contrary to his will mistreat her brother, so  He pretended to be grumpy when out with his brother, as if not to the presence of this, and he noticed something was wrong.

- Bro?  What happened?  Why are you so sullen?

- Nothing.  - And the brother and cold snaps, but deep, bitter.

- Then why have you been anyway?  Until yesterday were happy and friendly, until now you avoid the insects.

- Tired of being nice and just give me bad.

- How so?  I'll fuck a jam?

- Do you think my parents like me to walk stuck with you, dragon.

- Uh...  - Spill Helike awkwardly and it bothers me - but they never treated you so badly, at least never saw them doing it.

Surprised by the argument, the young scarlet attempted to disguise an answer - yes...  Is that you did not actually fix it...  But they do not like that I walk with you, like everyone, think you're a freak and I'm starting to agree.  - Concluded mercilessly.

Those words Helike affected much, he never expected a response so cruel as this coming from his brother.

With her eyes filling with tears, he asked: - Wow, bro, because they doing that?  What's gotten into you?

Flame with more fury than he wanted, he thundered: - Because nobody loves you, let alone I'm tired of playing the fool and take care of the poor little baby aberration.  I just had pity on you this time, but enough is enough!  I can not stand to hear your wailing infant.

The little red was just noticing how gross it was to see his brother from racing, leaving a small trail in the humid air caused by the tears that welled from the eyes of a baby.  - Hey, Helike, wait!  - She ran after him.

Helike saw a frenzy of emotions after the words of his brother, a mixture of fear, pain, bitterness, and, standing up, hate.  Hate this would prove the effectiveness or otherwise of the charm of the previous day, which caused this pain in the chest of the little black.

While the tears flowed and ran down his face, he tried to deduce what was going on with his brother, was running about five minutes and thinking that she could not stand up and stopped, panting.  Meanwhile Flame overtook him, and even adopting a robust stance and cruel, he growled:

- Where do you think will dragon?  There is no place in the universe that will accept him, you have no where to run!  - As he approached, he changed his gait to a more subtle and calculated.

- For calling me that!  - Screamed the poor dragon almost breathless and terrified before starting to run again.  This time he decided to use a device more efficient, and the sinuous opening wings, lifted a flight, slow, but picked up speed quickly due to the large wings, suitable for quick flights.  He saw his brother stayed behind at first, but this soon also joined the flight to continue the chase.

- Stop with what, stupid dragon?

The hatred for her brother was growing more and more about Helike, as if to subdue him, however, fueled by the love that brother who was the intensified over time, it also endowed the ability to restrain himself.  At least for some time.

It was then, suddenly, he remembered where he had been the previous day with his family and how far he had to cover.  At that point he turned to Flame and stared at him with anger, but controlled.

- What happened yesterday?  What the ancients did?  Because they tore my quota?  Why have not you done anything about it?  - Inquired the young black dragon rampant.

His brother did not expect this much reaction, as a barrage of questions, but by affection to his brother, decided he deserved to know the whole story.  And so said since two years ago, said because of his parents treating him that way, since when told of things he knew, he told the elders that the training gave them to master it.  Every fact reported to the previous day to his brother, to try to ease his pain, since he thought the charm had proved efficient.  -...  And yesterday they decided to try to cast a spell on you for trying to control that your dark side and so we could stop the ill-treatment to you, and would again be happy.  As for the quota, they were very insensitive to you and ourselves, we could not prevent.  I was treating you well today to make the final test of the enchantment, since he had not been used before and no one knew if it would work perfectly, which would define how it would henceforth.  Seeing that so far nothing has happened, unless you ye gone, the charm should be fun - - He was forced to stop his speech so that his brother bowed his head and a small greenish aura began emanating from his little body.

This time seemed more vicious and powerful than the last times that the brother was dominated by the spirit, the aura emanated from the little greenish, which is not before it had appeared, the outlines of each scale of the abdomen and other random parts of the body were  highlighted by glowing green lines that gave him an air of possession, his eyes lost their traditional brown tone of the pupils and gave rise to an evil red that made Flame shiver and contract the tail.

The little red dragon began to retreat, controlling panic trying to subdue him, watching his brother be completely overcome by evil.

- He-Helike, N-no co-play with me!

When the young black man opened his mouth and a deep voice distorted ruled - Playing?  Who have you played with me!  They made me a puppet all this time.  They fooled me this time, especially you, - and imitating the method as Flame was speaking to him earlier - dragon.

- He, you know it was just for your own good.  Never want to make you suffer, however, do

- Enough!  Do not even try to fix now, brother, is already done.  You made me a fool, a test dummy, this time, now I'll give you what you deserve!

And outside, completely, by itself, Helike spread its wings and was levitated by a force lacking in their reality.  After reaching a certain point he began to shine brightly and a pale blue sphere of energy began to grow from within and soon encompassing and growing more and more.

Flame at that time had already surrendered to panic and now desperately ran to where the brother's fury began to manifest itself.  The energy generated since the brother was such that had begun to create a gravitational field surrounded him, so rocks and other things started to fly even higher toward the ball of energy that grew behind Flame and were engulfed by relentlessly macabre energy.  Even the desperate step of it was hampered by the magnetic interaction that was generated after him.

Inside the sphere reaper that took form, the individual who possessed the body of the poor dragon dominated by preventing any reaction of its host, which it indeed could not, for I had no energy for anything.  The harsh words that the brother had told him, forcefully poking the beast within him asleep and he fought until the end to prevent it from waking up and act.  He had fought so much that his own energy wore out and what remained was the frame of your body inert, but alive, that being to dominate.

So with much effort, Flame reached his parents, who had noticed something was wrong and, insightfully surprising, as they told the elders that came from, all with utmost urgency where they lived.

Everyone looked to the horizon, which was swallowed by the opaque ball and tried to find a way to stop the fury of the young cub, but, as expected, nothing could be done.  To tweak the beast found its end.

The ball was growing every second more, ate slowly Drunsgdom.  The elders chose not to warn the inhabitants of Linsgui because, as was already dusk, felt better if they were dissolved during the sleep, to avoid suffering.

Flame and his parents chose to move closer to the ball as much as possible and be dissolved together, and the closest to Helike, The Black Dragon Horns Crystal Blue.

Along with all the past Drungsdom Helike, and any other dragon that lived there, disappeared.

Except for the memories he had absorbed from his parents, elders and Flame, unconsciously, while his fury swallowed the small planet.

Because this is me ₢ Helike Long

VIII ‒ Hopes

Days stretched into weeks, which extended for months, which turned into years. Soon Helike and Flame would be completing two years old, nobody knew how to age or date of birth of the little red, then they decided it was the same day and felt that he had the same age as Helike.

Together these two years, the harmony and unity among the brothers reached a highly advanced stage. Even his parents thought that they would be so close together, although it sucked.

Another issue that motivated the parents was that, with two full years, the elders would try to seal the creature Helike and so could again be a family no longer an obligation. The expectation of the response of the elders and the possible restoration of the Long family unit, they ate as fire consumed the paper, could hardly wait.

Opted, as in the previous year, which at least on the anniversary of the Helike treat well, and he has noticed that their birthdays would be unique, enjoyed the most.

- Today, close to two years to complete, we have a special gift for you, Helike. - Said the mother enthusiastically.

- Really?! Where? Where?

- Calm down, all of your time, baby. - Interrupted the father.

Were heading for the center Lanshi while talking animatedly. Helike never questioned because of the act and were acting with him, rather than that perish into oblivion, at least in those days when they changed their behavior.

When they reached the central square, went to a small, rustic building, in which dragons, extremely Abels, wove subtle and fragile, but often worked both in the same piece of cloth that could produce strong and majestic dimensions. To the surprise of not only Helike, but also of his brother, his parents had ordered one of these benchmarks for both.

The garments were magnificent, both from a deep brown that resembled polished brass. It covered the entire length of the back, arrested on the thighs and forearms to not be flowing and, incidentally, impair flight and finalizing a kind of collar key with a large stone decorated. In the case of the stone Helike was greenish black with branches in all its extension. In the Flame of the stone was orange with blue lines.

Both were impressed with this and stated in using quotas, those which both parents and the artisans, have not hesitated to help them to dress them.

Helike never felt so happy before, mainly because of this quota would be one of the few ways to experience love from their parents after that day.

- Thank you for this, Mom and Dad! Simply loved it!

- Easy, little, there's more. - They carried the certainty that the spell backfire positive seal and could give much more for the little one soon.

Now were moving to build more elaborate Lanshi, a symbol of goodwill from the village of dragons, since art was not the best ability of the dragons were the reflection of other buildings, which, incidentally, were few.

This building was the temple where the elders met, and all were well aware of that, except Helike. During times of mistreatment to which he was obliged to resist, now and again he was left alone at home and her relatives had to find the elders for advice.

- Stay here for now, be back soon - said the mother and the father continued.

In another room they met the old chief, who had advised them to treat as they'd been treating Helike. He then ruled:

- I imagine they have come to try the spell on the young, no?

- Yes, exactly. - They said together.

- Well, let's make it so without delay. Apply what they have taught him so that it is unconscious and bring him here.

The Longs looked at each other with a few moments saddened by having to do this. Okay, come back soon . Said moved by love and hope, and left the room.

Flame Helike and found a lively play when they returned to the room in which the left, with a discrete signal meant that the little red detract from his brother so they could collapses it.

When the young dragon was already unconscious, they waited to let them in, then both the three were helped to get him into the presence of elders to give themselves initiate the process. The room was weakened with lighting and markings, from which emanated a bluish glow, nearly everywhere. In addition to the elders, five dragons were called to help in whatever way they can.

The old man rested his view on it for a moment and then with a cold voice ordered: - Off with his clothes!

Before they could protest, the five dragons had Helike abstracted by their relatives and stripped him mercilessly, leaving only the rags of clothing he had won the refined bit. Flame ventured to move forward and, with the prey, snatched the stone that was in his brother's clothes.

Shamelessly, threw the puppy into a circle inscribed with strange, and it fell with a thud and muffled, their parents, who could do nothing painful.

All the elders were present at the ceremony, forming a large circle around the circle squamous found where is the small. All rose synchronously and without any warning, sued the enchantment.

All entries on the walls became more intense, dipping all the ghostly blue they produced. The circle in which Helike found himself was the one that shone with greater intensity, making it almost disappear against by the glow.

Some moments after the start, a scene showed that the spell was actually had some effect: Helike arose, apparently, beside himself, looked at all sides until it rested eyes hidden by a red scary and tried to move, but somehow, the circle caught him and prevented him from continuing. After that, he released a roar of pure pain and fainted again.

The scene was horrendous, the mother could not stop crying, the father consoled her head down, apparently swallowing the weeping and Flame, feeling unable to do anything, just grabbed the rock that once was in his brother's coat, hunched , suffering with him.

Much time has passed, and many others as the first outbreaks were repeated at a time embraced the stone Flame also shone a blinding green, and when the glow dissipated, both the stone of its quota as the stone of the old quota merged brother, mysteriously, forming a yin-yang orange and green balls consecutively, blue and black.

When the brightness of the marks that covered the room weakened to become almost nonexistent, Helike appeared again with the same appearance as presented in the episode of conflict on earth, writhing in pain, and even unconscious, moaning.

His mother soon fell into tears, as if feeling the pain of the calf, her husband restrained himself to the utmost, but the tears just rolled down his face, it reflected his little brother.

- We believe that it is made. However, there can be waived so as mistreatment, fo--

- Why can not we?!? - Scandalized father with the Flame that is not restrained. - The enchantment was just so he could be happy not to continue suffering!

- If you allow me to continue. - After the two had settled down, he calmly continued - For never done that before, committed suicide the other pups before then, because could not stand the pressure, Helike is the first to endure so much and do not know whether the words used were the most promising.

- But there is no report in our entire history? - It rose to mother to tears for questioning.

- None was as strong to resist.

Amazed by the extraordinary will to live that carried Helike, they agreed to stay with the system for longer in order to test the charm, as much as it hurts them.

Approaching the infant, who was still unconscious and groaning with pain, his father took him to the jaw and retired, along with the other, the place, saying goodbye to the elders solemnly during output.

Then returned home to bitter, disappointed by so much suffering lead to even more pain. The young black dragon took several hours to get back to normal and the more the rest of the day to overcome the pain.
