“General Raiho. Dai and Prin reporting in. What’s the big emergency, sir”? Father glanced at Dai and turned to the massage on the table. Raiho picked up the paper and handed it to Dai.
“What do you make of this? It just arrived by one out our massager foxes from the relay points. As you can see, it was written wit haste and no time for corrections. Stray marks everywhere, what do you make of it”? Father’s eyes narrowed and fists clenched like he knows what’s going on.
“I can not believe this”. Dai read the note out loud. “To whomever this distress call reaches, please, a dragon has torn and took over out land. We have not the power to fend for our selves. The people of this land needs a new hero to conquer this beast and wipe it out from all existence. An evil this great will never do the world any good. Come quick and with numbers, this dragon seems to be picking us off one bye one for each passing day”. When the not was handed back to Raiho, the sides were crumpled and almost torn in three. What was there to do? Nobody here is that strong. How can we take on a dragon like that? There is just no way that a dragon like that can be beaten.
The barracks went silent in an instant, the people was concerned of what’s going to happen, to them and the people of that village.
“What if the dragon comes here? What if it’s the dragon of ledged”? The workers began to talk nonsense, a rumor from a child’s story that was passed down from one person to another. This kind of thing happens all the time. Somebody tells a story and over the years, it gets added on to and even more exaggerated. Maybe that It was a small lizards or something.
“I’ll go help them”. Dai spoke up. Wait, Dai spoke up?
“No! I wont let you go”! I said as father interrupted me.
“I do agree with my daughter”. But he didn’t think that I would add “Without me coming with you”. There was no way for Dai to survive alone without another person to watch his back but even if I told father this, he still wouldn’t let me go.
“No I wont allow it. What if you get . .” That’s when I cut him off for doing it to me. Do onto people what people do to you; the golden rule can be a pain when you look at it.
“I have a choice to chose whatever I say or go whenever or with whomever I please father. I’m not a little girl anymore. I can take care of myself and you know it.
Father was not pleased with what I said. He turned and slammed both hands on the table as hard as he could and when he had removed them, he was bleeding from the broken skin.
“General”!!! Everyone rushed to his aid as he had clasped to the ground. Dai held my shoulder and pushed me forward but I turned and began to walk out.
“You are as stubborn as you mother”. I stopped and herd every word but didn’t turn to show my face.
“Well you always say that I acted like her when I was smaller. Now it’s time to play the part and take my place in the world and if you cant see that now, than you can stay out of my life. I will not be controlled like this. From every war that I was ready for, you never sent me. I want to see the world, more than the ice and snow. I want to get battle scars to remember the good days and tell my children the stories of when I was at war”. Dai’s coughed heavily when I said children. Looks like that he was thinking about it too.
*Okay so I'm not done but the third page will be posted when I get back. I happen to run out of time so yeah.
