When you throw a pebble into the ocean there is a ripple effect. You create changes in the movement of the water. You changed the direction of the water and where and what the water was going to go and do. But only for a couple of seconds, the tide won't change and neither will the waves. You made a change but nothing big, to you or anyone else .It happened and you have moved on, cause from your side its nothing big. It may have meant something when you did it or when it was happening, but now that's it over it not a concern. But about the pebble . For all you know that pebble could cause a tidal wave on the other of the world.
The same it said for anything either controversial, uncommon or explicable. Things change in the common area that the event took place, people go through several emotions and are unsure where they stand on this situation. It can cause a riot, war or similar events could take place elsewhere. But eventually the event comes to an end. But people don't go empty handed from the situation. Many people can be unhappy on how, what and where the situation ended on . But eventually everything calms down. People learn from the situation and move on. People elsewhere who heard about the event can also learn, some may take action . Some take measures to make sure a similar event won't take place and as that sounds like a smart thing to do, well lets just say some take extremely stupid measures which can cause something worse than what they originally planned to prevent.
"This is a terrible idea " whispered one soldier.
"Shush" hushed another.
"Seriously though, haven't you heard the stories . " No voice answered, the only sound that appeared was the drops of water that echoed through the cave
It was dark, wet and went deep into the mountain. Several of the men flinched as the wind howled outside not having heard a loud sound like that since they entered the cave.
" So no one, really, you've never heard wings as wide lakes, , fire as hot as the sun, claws sharper than any sword..te"
*SNAP* One of the soldiers in infront had stepped on something and was bending down to pick it up. The others rushed to see what it was, surrounding him.
He stood up and held in his hand a bone snapped in half. Fear once again left everyone in silence.
"Teeth as big as the mountains. "
"That one seems a bit over exaggerated " said the one who picked up the bone only to bend down again and place it back on the ground.
" Alright how about this, we are all going to die " , that got a a few worried faces as the soldiers started to whisper to each other.
"Oh please don't tell your scared of something that hasn't been seen or heard in over five years " said the bone picker who seemed to be the figure of authority in the group.
The only answer he got from that were several unsure faces.
"sigh look our mission is simply to retrieve the skull of the dragon to show the king and kingdom that the dragon is dead and no longer a threat to the land. So the sooner we do that the sooner we can get out of this hell hole" said the bone picker looking around as he finished his last sentence. He then ushered the soldiers with torches to come to the front. And with that the rest of the group followed.
" Oh yeah sure, we going to find its skull, its bone, its flesh, its teeth, its beating heart and maybe even its fire as its tries to kill us" the solider whipsered to himslef
The group moved deeper into the cave finding more and more bones as they move forward, even the odd sword and human skull.
"Oh look another human skull, oh you know no biggie just that one of us were probably related to him "
" Would you you please shu AHHHHHH ufm" One of the torch men who had grown largely annoyed at the constant whining of his comrade, had slipped on another bone, which and flung into the dark abyss in front of them.
Two other men bent down to tend to the fallen men while the other stood around. They all chatted while the fallen man was being tended to. Then suddenly the other torch man stood up.
"Wait do you hear that ? " asked the torchman
"Hear what ?" asked one of the soldiers
"Wait I hear it too " saying the bone picker as he stood up. Everyone went quiet as the sound became louder. The sound was coming from the darkness in front of them. Everyone just stared into the abyss not sure where to look. The bone picker stood up as he was previously attending to the fallen man and took a step closer to the darkness. His eyes started to follow the sound as it got closer. A bone rolled towards him, stopping at his feet. He look up again only to be greeted by a strong breeze . He looked to his men and then back into the darkness.
"hello?" he asked
"Is any"one there "
"What else does those he expect to find in a dragons cave" said the one of the soldier who was punched in the shoulder which implied for him to shut up
The next sound they heard was what sounded like a deep sigh and then a sound of thunder which seemed to be followed by three small separated earth quakes as the ground beneath the soldiers started to shake. The bone picker quickly grabbed a spear before facing the darkness one again, where he was greeted by a puff of smoke and two huge dark emerald eyes.
"Why have you come here?" a great thundering voice asked
The bone picker looked back at his men and then back at the creature before him. The beasts eyes followed his at it looked at the men at then back at the bone picker.
"We.. " The bone picker looked at the ground before taking a deep breath and looking back at the creature.
"We have come " gripping his spear tightly, the beast noticing this looking at the spear the back at the man the beast knew what was coming and was ready.
" TO KILL YOU" As he said this the bonepicker through his at the dragon. The beast ducked before snatching the soldier in the mouth and throwing against a wall leaving him unconscious. The beast growled before roasting the remainder of the soldier with its firery breath. The dragon then ran out the cave as the it could hardly move 45 degrees let alone open its wings. It lept of the cave before spreading it enormous wings. It rose higher and higher until it was above the clouds, headed north. It knew it could not return as her home would become the new battle ground for her and thousands of soldiers. Now she was on a journey to find a new home, one far far way from any kingdom.
She has heard of the hunts, but didn't think the king was stupid enough to think her dead or challenge her.
"They have forgotten to live with fear" she said said to herself. "Well, mhmhmhmh i guess i will have to remind them " she said stretching neck before beating her wings and diving downwards, twisting herself in the wind before letting her wings spread heading in the direction of the village, which was opposite to where she was intially heading. The beat her wings so she was just higher than the tallest trees and it would be long know till she reached. She didn't know what to expect first a village inn or the cry saying dra...
"DRAGON"
There it was, she laughed to herself. And though was a signal to her, she lets the first of her firery breath, set fire to several inns, huts and shops. She flew the length of the village, setting fire to everything in her path, before circling back and landing in the middle of the village. She once again blew her hot breath, focusing on the things closest to her. She watched as the people who were no shorter than half of her leg run around screaming. She enjoyed watching the crackling fire lift into the day sky. The wind was strong, but it only fed the fire. There was yelling behind her. As she turned her head she saw the what was most of the kingdoms army. They were getting ready to throw catapults, spears and arrows. But before they could the beast, with one whip of her tail sent the majority of the army flying in one direction. The remainder was only around 20 out of the 80 that were trying to attack. As she was about to finish them off she noticed the king standing outside on his balcony. She lifted her head and yelled.
" THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FORGET TO FEAR THE UNKNOWN" she roared.
She beat her wings making herself airborne and heading in the direction in the king. She landed on the castle, clawing her talons on the side of it. Her head right next to the king. She moved her her head closer to the fear frozen king and whispered.
" This is what happens when you think me dead "
And with that she leapt back into the air, purposely dragging her tail on the ground to hit anything in its path. She then beat her wings and once again disappearing into the clouds. Leaving behind her a town burn to the ground and a king who had fallen to his knees.
But that is not all she left. In her cave there was a life she spared or more like a life she had forgotten to take. The bone picker had dragged himself outside the cave. He had burns to his face and side with his left ,arm broken ,a fracture to his right leg and was bleeding from a puncture wound left by the dragons teeth. But he still managed to lift himself up to witness the horror that the dragon had left. As his eyes filled with tears and his heart filled with rage. He looked up to see the dark shadow of the dragon in the clouds.
" I WILL FIND YOU, YOU HEAR ME I WILL FIND YOU AND I WILL END YOU " he said this as he fell to his knees and watched the dragon fly away once again.
