Snakes and Dragons(chapter 6)
Ninathala POV
"Mother! Father! Where are you?!" I cry desperately into the darkness. Griffins shrieking calls were tearing my ears apart. I could hear Rufus laughing in the darkness,but his voice was changing. Then,right in front of me was a shadow of a four armed man. He had glowing red eyes,and was laughing like a maniac. I felt something coil around me in a very protective way. I looked to see mother and a very large green snake with pink eyes. The snake had four-what looked like silver-fangs and it nuzzled me gently. "Who...who are you?" I ask. "I am the devourer,but you might know me as father,my young Nini." The snake told me. There was no denying it,he was my father. Only my dad had called me Nini the day I was hatched. After that,everything began to dissolve. My eyes flashed open as I got back to reality. It was just a dream. "Ninathala! Ambereta brought a friend home!" Joycica told me. I looked over to Ambereta's nest to see a two headed red snake was curled up near her fore paws. I chuckled to myself as I closed my eyes and entered a dreamless sleep.
Pythor POV
I woke up with a throbbing headache. I looked around,then I realized where I was. I'm still in a cell,I'm still a prisoner and I'm still alive. Garmadon probably wants to torture me before bringing my kind to a end. I heard a door slam from upstairs. He's coming now! I need to prove he souldn't hurt me. I hide in a corner and look to see...Skales? Has he come to help me? "S-Skales?!" I stutter. "Pythor! Was Fangtom down here?" Skales asked. Him and Fangtom have been friends for as long as I can remember. "No,why?" I tell him. "He went missing last night! Both Acidicus AND Skalidor have told me about some dragons running around Ninjago! I'm worried he got caught." Skales explained. Oh,goody. First Garmadon takes over,now there are possible serpentine-eating dragons. Just great. "Oh,dear. That doesn't sound good. But,what HAVE I missed while I was knocked out?" I ask Skales. " Garmadon has taken over with his so-called stone army someone called the overlord provided him with. He claims that he wants to work together,but no one believes him. I don't. This 'overlord' seems a little to...different. It's as though he's not from this world!" Skales informs me. "HA! Wants to work together my tail! I remember him coming down here saying he's going to 'get rid' of me for what happened to my tribe!" I jeer. "Yes...that's true. He's trying to convince everyone that you were the reason your tribe is now...gone." Skales reasons. I fell silent at that. A crash from above broke the silence. "I'd better go see what THAT was." Skales said as he slithered off. I chuckled when I heard him saying 'no good stone army' under his breath. I fell into a deep sleep after that. I heard hissing as I looked to see...the Great Devourer?! Our great god?! In MY dream?! I looked at the ground in embarrassment. "Pythor..." I heard a voice say. This voice sounded like my own thoughts,yet I knew it was real. I knew who the voice belonged to. "Y-yes,oh mighty devourer?" I ask,trembling at the thought of making him angry. "Look." He told me as I saw his coils withdraw showing six...dragons? They all looked like hatchlings,yet each had something to set them apart from the others. One had a mix of black and brown making it look like a tough dragon,one had emerald green scales with green glowing eyes that were rather brilliant,one had fire red scales with alluring red eyes,one had a mix of pink black silver and a little bit of blue that made it seem REALLY hyper,one had lavishing blue scales with deep thoughtful eyes and a charming purple dragon. It's eyes were closed tightly,as though it was having a bad dream. "M-might I?" I ask,lightly pointing to the dragon. The devourer nods once. I rubbed behind its ear,and the eyes flew open. The eyes,oh the eyes! Deep,clever yet calm,cunning yet peaceful...I could stare at them forever!" Remember what you have seen,Pythor..." I hear the devourer's voice one more time before blacking out. "Remember what you have seen..."
