Chapter 5: Blue Dragon Cave
On the Dragonship Destiny, Nall laid on his bunk in his room that he shared with Leo, thinking about the past few hours and his fight with Ruby. He sighed.
"Ruby said she wouldn't help me get my Aura back. Oh well, I can get it without her help anyway. She's just a girl..."
He got up and walked into the hall. Leo grabbed some things from the refrigirator and him and Ronfar began to make fish for Ruby and Nall and steak for everyone else.
"Doesn't this remind you of when we all used to live in Raculi?" Ronfar said
"Yeah. Those were good times. Remember when Mauri got mad at you for stepping on her flower she worked hard on growing for three months?"
Ronfar and Leo laughed. Then they spotted Nall walking around, aimlessly. He stopped and sighed.
"Thanks for the fish Ronfar, but I'm not in the mood to eat right now..."
'How could he tell? The smells are all mixed together?!' Ronfar thought smiling.
"Aw co'mon! My fish'll make ya feel better! Just ask Leo!"
Leo gave Ronfar a funny look, which he returned.
"What?"
"Did you put alcohol in it like you did to me when I broke up with Chelsea?"
"Naw man!" Ronfar said, turning red from embarassment, "although that was funny..."
"Well, I'll think about it..."
Nall smirked and moved on. Jean was doing Lemina's nails in Jean, Lemina, and Ruby's room.
"I can't wait until Lucia joins the Magic Guild!"
"I thought you quit trying to get Lucia to join..."
"Yeah but now that she's back, she can join!" Lemina said clapping her hands together.
"You're crazy!"
Jean laughed at Lemina, who just started pouting. Nall stood and watched them for awhile as they gave each other a makeover, but decided to leave them alone before they saw him and asked him questions.
"Hiro, it's great to see you again," Ruby said.
She sat on Hiro's shoulder in her baby form as he steered the ship, talking about old times. Nall stopped and listened quietly.
"Even though I caused you and Nall to get into a fight?"
"I dun wanna talk about it, okay?" Ruby said sadly.
"I'll respect that..." Hiro mumbled, "remember how we met?"
Ruby smiled at the memory. She jumped down and transformed into her human form. She laid her head on his shoulder and sighed.
"When I first met you, you was just a little baby. I was about 300 years old by then. Did you know that?"
"No, I didn't know that. How come you never told me that?"
She just shrugged.
"I found out why I look like a teenager when I transformed instead of a little girl."
"I was wondering that myself," Hiro said laughing.
"Because, when I turned into my big dragon, I became an adult mentally and physically. I found it in this book Nall had in a box in his room. It belonged to the great Mia Ausa of Vane! There was a lot of pictures and stuff in there too. There was a cute plushie of him as a baby too!"
"Wanted to take it and hug it didn't you?"
"Yeah! Wait...was that a trick question?"
Just as Nall was about to say something, Hiro stopped the ship and pressed a button, calling to everyone that was below deck to come up. Everyone came to the deck.
"We're at the Blue Dragon Cave everybody! Let's see if the Blue Dragon is okay."
"His name's Sapphiren..." Nall said quietly, "I think he would want to be called by his name."
Hiro nodded. They left the ship and stepped infront of the cave.
"The girls should stay here and watch Ruby, just incase anyone comes and tries to get her Aura while we're in there," Leo suggested.
"Good idea, let's go," Ronfar said marching into the cave.
The boys went in and the girls stayed outside. Inside, there weren't any monsters in the cave. Nall looked around alarmed.
"That means someone's been here!" he said as he started to run deeper into the cave.
Hiro, Leo, and Ronfar followed. In Sapphiren's Lair, they saw Yira putting the Blue Dragon Aura in a bag and a boy with long silvery blue hair in a ponytail, wearing a navy blue vest over a sky blue shirt, and navy blue jeans laying on the ground at her feet.
"Hey!!" Nall hollared, "give me and Sapphiren back our Auras!"
Yira turned around and smirked.
"Oh, hello cutie! I don't plan on giving you the Dragon Auras back. I need them for something more important."
"Let's get her!!" Ronfar announced.
Ronfar threw his dice at her to confuse her while Hiro and Leo took out their swords and slashed at her. She easily dodged all three attacks. But, when Nall lunged himself at her, he succeeded in tackling her down. Yira just smiled.
"Shouldn't you be worried about your little girlfriend?"
"What girl...No! Ruby!"
He jumped up and ran out and Yira disappeared in a puff of smoke. Leo stayed behind to get Sapphiren and Hiro and Ronfar left the cave to help Nall. Outside, Ruby was pinned down by a man wearing a black robe with long silver hair and a black tattoo under his left eyes. Jean and Lemina were out cold on the ground.
"Get offa me!" Ruby sqeaked, trying to wriggle out of his grip.
"Don't worry little dragon...this won't hurt, much..." the man said, his hand hovering over her chest.
Just as he was about to take her Aura, Nall tackled him off of Ruby. Hiro helped the weakened Ruby up to her feet.
'Nall saved me...' she thought as she watched him wrestled with the guy in awe, 'even after our fight and what I said to him.'
Nall grabbed the man by the collar of his cloak and shook him violently.
"Who are you!!"
"Not like it matters, but my name's Ryo. Oh, you're the dragon who's Aura we first took. He he he..."
His laughing made Nall angrier. He tried to punch Ryo in the face but Ryo stabbed Nall in the stomach with his long, sharp, retractable claws and disappeared. Nall slowly got on one knee, holding his stomach and wincing slightly from the sharp pain. He looked at Ruby, who was still gazing at him.
"Did he hurt you, Ruby?"
Ruby ran over to Nall and hugged him. He made a grunt, aknowlodging the pain she just caused him.
"You saved me!!" she said, tears streaming down her face.
"O-ow..."
"Nall are you okay?!" Leo asked as he emerged from the cave with Sapphiren on his back.
"I'll be fine...as soon as Ruby lets me go..."
"That means you're still mad at me?" Ruby asked quietly.
Nall chuckled and collasped onto the ground. Ruby kneeled down and put her hand on his wound to stop the bleeding.
"He's bleeding pretty bad..." Ruby said sadly, "stupid boy..."
"Come on, we should get Sapphiren, Jean, Lemina, and Nall into the Destiny," Hiro said, "and then we need to hurry to the Black Dragon Cave."
Hours later, Nall woke up. Everyone else who was out, except Sapphiren, were already awake. He looked down at his wound and saw it bandaged.
"How do you feel?" Ruby asked sweetly.
"A lot better. Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"
She smiled and shook her head. Nall sighed and looked out the window by his bed. They were surfing in the ocean, heading to the Black Dragon Cave.
"Nall, I'm so sorry for saying all those things. I didn't mean any of them."
"Hm...I'm sorry too, 'kay? I don't want you to leave me alone..."
Ruby looked at him confused. He just stared out the window at the Blue Star.
"What do you mean? You have the Dragon Kids so you'll never be alone!"
"That's not quite what I meant...so, are you leaving to do some adventuring with Hiro again or something?"
"No, of course not silly! I was just saying, you'll never be alone."
Nall sighed and grabbed Ruby's hand gently. She blushed and looked at their intertwined hands.
"You don't understand, but that's okay. I sorta hope you never do," he said softly.
He turned his head away from her to look at the Blue Star again. Ruby frowned in bewilderment at his statement.
"Did you know, that when humans die, their spirit goes to the Blue Star to help it become a better place for us to live..." Nall said smiling, "I'm going there one day, to see my friends."
"But, I thought we had eternal life. You aren't planning on killing yourself are you?! Where would me and the Dragon Kids go?!"
"No, I'm not gonna kill myself. I don't know how I'm gonna go, I'm just going to..." he said, sighing sadly, "but then again, they would be spirits and I wouldn't be able to see them, would I?"
'Nall is really spilling his guts...I wonder what's wrong. He's not himself,' Ruby thought.
"Nall, why are you telling me all of this?"
He glanced at her and scratched his nose.
"I-I dunno..." he said uneasily, "this isn't like me. I just feel like telling you everything and I don't know why..."
"Aw!"
Nall whipped his head around to look for the owner of the voice. It was Sapphiren. He stood at the doorway, smirking with his hands behind his back.
"I don't feel like joking around with y-" Nall yelled.
He abruptly stopped his sentence, sniffed, and smiled. Sapphiren's smirked faded away and was replaced by a nervous glare. Nall stood up and walked over to him.
"But...I DO feel like eatting fish! Hand it over!"
"How do you do that!!"
"Comes with age now GIMME!!"
"No! This is my fish! MINE!!"
Nall pounced and the two male dragons began wrestling over the fish.
"Nall! You aren't healed all the way! Stop fighting!" Ruby yelled.
Note: I have a question, okay? Can someone PLEASE explain some proof of Jean and Leo? I need to know if I should include it in my next chapter and if so, what to include. It would really help because I didn't see any examples in the game.
