Chapter 11: Dolor y Miedo
The power coming off of the three beings was eminence. The light that was coming off of Fireheart and Starlight was making it hard to see. I could still see that Starlight was in great pain. Then with a flash of light it was all over like that. We had won or so I thought.
DarkMoon, who looked pretty beat up, surveyed us and Fireheart and Starlight, who was leaning against Fireheart still in pain. After surveying us, DarkMoon then said, "You may have one this battle but I still have trick up my sleeves!" After he said this he through out his left hand at every one and black collar like bands appeared around every one's neck. Then he spoke again, "I would like to see all of you get out of this jam! You won't be able to power up at all. You all now have the power of mere humans. You can't fly, use any magic or ki blast, and both Fireheart and Starlight can not transform nor will Fireheart be able to save his beloved Starlight now."
After he said that Starlight yelled out in pain. We were all very confused. We had not a clue as to what was causing her so much pain. I wanted so much to run over to her and see if I could help but I was still very weak and with these new collars on I was even weaker. Oh how I hated being vulnerable. I never liked relying on other people and I didn't want to start any time soon.
"What did you do to HER!" Fireheart yelled this out several times to DarkMoon with tears in his eyes.
DarkMoon just looked at Fireheart and began to laugh like an insane mad man. "All I did 'to HER' was merely lock her into her own mind and severely assault her with the pain she has dealt with over the many years. Basically I am destroying her from the inside out." And with another insane laugh he disappeared.
Trunks picked me up and carried me over to where every one was going, over to Fireheart. Fireheart was kneeling over Starlight, holding her close, with silent tears running down his face. Seeing him like that made me think of how vulnerable we all had became just moments before.
I remember looking down at Starlight who had her eyes closed as if in deep sleep yet with a deep sad frown on her face. I was praying to Dende and all the gods above him that she would be ok. Then Goku asked, "Is there anything that we can do to save her?"
"I'm afraid not. With these collars on I can't do anything and nor can any of you. But just maybe we can go to the nearest nest of dragons or griffins that live in those mountains and ask them to at lest take us to the nearest group of centaurs or the poblar de cielos. The only chance that we have of saving her though is at Crystal Falls," Fireheart informed us.
Goku looked around. When I looked into his eyes I first saw grief and then it was taken by determination. He then said, "Well then I think that we all should get going, the sooner the better. Don't worry we will get back to the others and we WILL save Starlight."
We then all stood up, although I needed a little support from Trunks but I wanted to walk for my self, with Fireheart in the lead caring Starlight and we all began the long journey to the mountains that lay before us.
I believe that it was probably about noon when we started. We had no food with us and we were all very hungry. Lush dark blue grass and the violet flowers were all around us. Every once in a while we would come upon a giant tree, with leaves the same color as the grass, and we would stop and rest.
We finally came upon a stream of clear blue water full of many fish about sundown with a few trees close to the water. Goku, Fireheart, and Gohan all volunteered to capture fish. They cut a few limbs off a near by tree with daggers that we all carried. They then carved them into spears to spear fish with. While they were fishing Goten and Bra went out collecting fire would from the near by trees so we wouldn't have to eat our fish raw, although I think that us sayians were so hungry that it wouldn't have mattered weather they were cooked or not.
After we got a fire started Trunks, Fireheart and I began skinning what fish had been caught for Goku and Gohan were still catching fish. While we were skinning the fish Bra and Goten were cooking the mass quantities of fish to fill our bellies. After every one ate we then went to sleep around the campfire. I had Trunks on one side of me and Bra on the other side. Next to her was Goten and then Goku with Vegeta on his other side. And in between Trunks and Vegeta was Fireheart holding Starlight as close as he could to him.
Before I dosed off I though about Starlight and how vulnerable she must be. I knew she was in much pain for as the day went by her face began to show more pain in it. I felt so bad for her and Fireheart. Fireheart seemed to not be taking Starlight's condition well at all. He always had sorrow in his face and it always got worse every time he looked at her. But there was another emotion that I had noticed that showed up in his eyes every time he looked at her and held her. I kept an eye on him the entire time that we had made camp to prove my suspicion. I noticed how he always tried to stay near to her and how he constantly kept an eye on her so he could constantly know of her condition. I believed that he was in love with Starlight. Even now that I think about it, they both showed signs that they loved each other.
It didn't take too long for me to go to sleep though. I was very exhausted even though I had regained a lot of my strength after I had eaten. The last thought that I had go through my head wasn't about Fireheart and Starlight but about my old crush on Trunks that had recently resurfaced it self. Then I had a dreamless night.
In my sleep I must have moved for when I woke up I found my self right beside Trunks in his arms. When we all got up we did the same ritual for breakfast that we had done last with diner. We had cooked more than what we needed though in case we didn't come upon another place with food. We carried the fish on poles since we had nothing else to use and Fireheart couldn't create any thing.
The day was very uneventful for all we did was walk all day and rest when we needed to. We did find an apple tree on one of our breaks and collected as many as we could. The fish, all though we tried to make it last as long as we could, only lasted for that day. It had helped that we had apples but they too didn't last long for they only lasted until our lunch break the next day. We had slept the same way as the night before except Bra slept in Goten's arms and I in Trunk's.
The next day felt like forever. We had no food for lunch or for dinner and the land had began to become barren so we could not find anything to scavenge. We all began to believe that we would die before we ever reached the nearest nest of dragons or griffons.
On our third day of journeying we were starved and all our hopes were lost. Fireheart tried to keep our hopes up but not even my grandfather had much hope. We had began to clime the mountains that day. But there was still no sign of hope. We had especially lost hope for there were also no sings of Starlight getting better. She had begun to toss and turn occasionally. Every one had begun to worry even more for her.
Towards the end of the day we found a cliff with some wood on it. We used the wood to start a fire to keep us warm in the night. We stayed at the fire watching the sun set for we had no food and we were all to depressed to talk. As we were watching the last of the sun set we heard the beat of wings in the not to far off distance. We all jumped up and looked in the sky for any thing for we had found new hope to keep us going.
Then out of no were, for the sun had already set and we could not see a thing, a dragon had appeared in front of us with a swoosh of it's wings. The dragon stood on all four legs and with it's neck high up in the air it stood to be some where in between fifteen and twenty feet high. Its body was a jade green with a royal purple under belly that was plated. It had two horns that came strait up out of its head and spikes all down it's spine. It's wings were the same color of its body but with purple at the tips. And its eyes were gold and snake like.
In a deep voice that almost sounded like a growl the dragon said, "Why do you trespass on our land? You do not belong here and we want nothing to do with you."
Fireheart then said to him on behalf of us all for most of us were scared stiff, "We come to ask for help. We battled with DarkMoon and won but he has trapped my fellow Guardian Starlight in her own mind and put collars on us all to make sure that we are weak and can not use our powers. So we pose no threat to you all for we can not defend our selves and we need your help to get us back to our land and to Crystal Falls to save Starlight."
While the dragon seemed to be thinking about what Fireheart said I whispered to Trunks. "What do you think he will do? He doesn't seem that nice."
"Well I would probably say the same thing if some beings just wondered upon my land with out me knowing." He said this to me and then the dragon spoke up again.
"These are not matters that concerns us but I am not one to decide what to do with you. And if you and the girl you hold are holding really are Guardians then there are others that might be able to help you." And after he said that he roared up into the sky and two smaller dragons landed beside him. Then he spoke again, "We will take you to the 'Ancient One'. I will carry three of you and the others will carry two."
We then hoped on to their backs in between the spikes and flew off deeper into the mountain range. I though I could see others but it was very dark and I was not sure. It was very calming riding upon such great beast's backs. The rhythm of their wings and the wind in your face fixed you in a trance. It seemed like forever before I felt the dragons start to spiral down. Not to long after that we landed on a huge mountain cliff with an entrance so large that I had to lean back to look at it.
Then the dragon that had found us said to us, "Follow me and I will lead you to the 'Ancient One'."
We then followed him into the giant cave to talk to the 'Ancient One' in hopes that we would be able to get back to where we were needed most.
**Well what do you think? I know it's kinda short but I needed to get it out. I started this chapter three days ago and I finally finished it. I have had so much I had to do with getting ready for school, working on my new computer, and drawing (hey drawing is my fist priority and then it is this story). You know what it is really hard to type and draw when you get blisters on you fingers and the band-aids won't let your fingers move very much. (I got blisters from sharpening all my colored pencils. I know it sound very pathetic but I have over a hundred colored pencils and only a sharpener that you use with your hand.) Well I ended up listing to the new Papa Roach cd in the end and I found a song that reminds me of this story. Well here it is and I advise that if you can get your hands on this cd than do it!**
