Traveling Alone pt 11:
The meteor hits:
Toph felt the vibrations. All the dragons were running to a spot to form a circle. She sat up. Strangely, she had the best sleep she had had in a long time.
Aang sat up too. He looked around. Even Sapphire and Dakor were in the circle.
"Humans! Come to the circle! We only have 20 minutes!" The big dragon yelled.
Toph and Aang walked to the circle. Minutes passed. The sky got redder.
It got hotter. They all started to sweat. They looked up, and saw the fire rock in the distance.
"Aang, do you think we will die?" Toph asked, she was crying!
"I don't know, maybe. But why are you crying? What's with you?" Aang asked while getting ready to hug her.
"Don't touch me!" Toph yelled, catching the attention of every dragon around them.
Aang sighed. Mood swings…
It got a lot hotter. The sky got even redder.
"Get ready for impact!" One of the dragons yelled. All the dragons folded their wings over their bodies.
Toph and Aang had no protection. The comet was seconds away…
At the last moment, Sapphire pulled her self over them. But her wings weren't over them in time…
With a rumble, every sight was turned white. Then fire was blazing everywhere. Sapphire roared in pain from fire covering her. But she never got off Toph and Aang; she cared too much to have them die.
All the dragons unfolded their wings in a second, throwing fire away from them.
Most of the fire got on Sapphire. Sapphire roared, then tried to look around for fire. (Not the fire that she was lit with). She only saw the other dragons. So it was safe for Toph and Aang. She jumped off them, only to try to get the flames off of her. She rolled; she even tried to cool it off with her ice breath.
Then it happened. She fell to the ground with a thud. Everybody looked at her breathless.
Dakor ran up to her, to check if she was alive. There was no pulse, and there was no breath.
Dakor started to tear. His friend, his love, the mother of the children they were going to have is dead.
"MY CHILDREN!! They aren't going to live!!" Dakor cried out in sorrow.
One of the female dragons came up to him. "We can maybe save them! Back away!" Dakor did as he was told. The dragon cut open Sapphire's lower stomach with her claw.
Aang saw the blood and fell backwards.
The dragon came back up with 3 eggs.
"Aren't they supposed to be deformed or something?" Toph asked.
"No, they have been in long enough where they are about ready to come out. It will just take longer for them to hatch." The dragon answered.
Then Aang remembered. "THE METEOR EGG!" He shouted, and then ran to the meteor.
He cracked it open with earthbending. There before him, was a golden egg.
He picked it up. It was heavy, and seemed perfect. Toph walked over and touched it.
"It seems…different." Toph said. They turned back and saw an earth dragon sinking Sapphire's body into the earth.
After that, it made the grass grow again.
They also noticed Dakor sitting a far distance away with his eggs, crying, and whispering soft words to them, as if they were already hatched.
They went over to comfort him.
This is a good chapter in my opinion. Even though Sapphire dies. SHE WAS BECOMING ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS IN THIS STORY!! WAAA! But it doesn't matter. My fingers are the ones that did all the madness!
