The Girl and The Earthquake

Yun's POV (I'll change povs throughout the story. Just saying.)

"Hey guys, where is Yona?" I heard the Girl ask. I had settled on calling her the Girl for now. Why wouldn't she just say her name?

I started panicking. "She was just right here!" I said.

"I can feel his presence." Kija said and the Girl nodded, shaking slightly. Then Yona came out from behind the corner.

"Princess! Are you alr-" Hak started but I pushed him out if the way.

"You idiot! You have to stay with us! Idiot!" I yelled at her then I was pushed away by the Girl. She thew herself on Yona.

"Yooooonnnnnaaaaaaa! Don't scare me like that again!" She said as tears poured out of her eyes.

"I'm sorry." Yona said as she hugged her. The Girl let go and wiped the tears off her face.

I then noticed a strange guy with a mask. "Who's that?" I asked.

"That's the guy who saved me." Yona replied. Kija ran towards the man but he ran away.

"Hey!" He yelled.

"Who was that?" Yona repeated.

"That was the Blue Dragon." He replied. We all walked back to our room. Yona told her story of what happened while she was gone. I was shocked.

"A villager almost led you underground?!" I yelled. Kija stood and the bandages on his arm started to unravel.

"Kija calm down." Yona said.

"So the Blue Dragon is here. We could go back and see if he will come with us." I said.

"Yes we should." Yona confirmed. We all stood up and walked to the door when Hak pulled Yona back.

"You should stay here Princess." Everyone started arguing and I sighed, trying to ignore then to the best of my ability.

Eventually we all decided on this: Yona, Kija, The Girl and I would go and Hak would stay. We walked to the dead end from earlier. "It's just a dead end." I said. Then, Yona pushed on a spot on the wall and a door opened.

"You guys go on ahead." Kija said. I held a torch and looked at the two beside me. The Girl was rubbing her arms uncomfortably.

"Hey are you okay?" I asked her. She nodded and replied.

"Yes I just have a really bad feeling."

We entered the passageway and walked down to a little room. There sat the same weird masked man. He reached for his sword as if he was scared.

"Hello." Yona greeted with a smile. The Girl also smiled. The Blue Dragon became even more scared or something because he pulled out his sword and yelled.

"Uh.. Princess, stay back. He is dangerous! I should have known he would be crazy. I mean look at him, he is in a special, secluded room and he is wearing a mask!" I patted her shoulder frantically, trying to get her attention. Then, a weird, furball thing ran up to us.

"Oh, we meet again." Yona bent down and picked the little thing up. It's cheeks were huge!

"W-what is that little animal?! It's cheeks are about to explode!" I questioned.

"It's a squirrel. Haven't you seen one before?" The Girl replied.

"What's it's name?" Yona ignored us and asked the guy. There was a really long pause.

"Ao." He finally said.

"Oh, you actually answered." I remarked.

"That doesn't fit him at all." Yona said, her smile still on her face. The Girl and I gasped.

"Be nice, Princess!" I hurriedly said as the Girl facepalmed behind me.

"Yes....it doesn't...fit him....I agree." He said.

"I'm Yona. That's Yun and that's....uh... That's the brown Dragon." She introduced us. "What's your name?"

"Blue... Dragon.." He replied.

"No that's your title. What's your real name?"

"Just Blue Dragon...."

'Wow,' I thought. 'So he really is just a loner in a cave.. But that does remind me.. Is the reason why the Girl won't say her name is that she doesn't have one? I'll ask later.' Yona stared to walk towards him but he quickly swung his sword.

"Stay back! Who are you guys? Why did you come here?! Why did you come near me? Why are the White and Brown Dragons..." He yelled.

"I came all the way here to meet you. I would like to borrow your power.. I would like you to join me."

The Girl's POV

After Yona said that, he paused for a second. He seemed scared and confused.

"Power...?" He then grabbed Yona by the collar, shoved her back and poised his sword at her throat.

"Yona!" Yun and I yelled at the same time.

"Those....who want my power...are enemies.." His sword was shaking in his hands as Yona kept a straight face. "Y-you... Who are you?........I don't know you so why..." He trailed off and lowered his sword.

"Blue Dragon, I am no enemy of yours. I am looking for the Four Dragons for my friend and I so we can survive." She held out her hand. "I hope that you will be my friend also."

"I'm....cursed......No outsider.....must learn of my ability..." He stared at the ground.

"Who told you that?" Yona asked.

"It's the truth.." He replied. I stepped forward.

"Your power.. According to the legend, you have eyes that can see great distances, right? If your mask is the thing that controls a dark side to your power then you shouldn't worry." I said.

"Leave." He said. Yona gasped. "Leave!" He repeated.

"Guys, let's go." Yun said. We then all turned and left. I zoned out of Yun and Yona's conversation as we walked back. We reached the entrance to find Kija in front of a bunch of villagers.

"Hey what's going on?" I asked.

"They followed us here. They apparently want to kill us since we discovered the Blue Dragon." The villagers started mumbling and one of them lunged at Kija with a knife. Yun and I both crouched down.

"Please stop!"

"I'm too young and pretty to die!"

Kija punched him in the face with his right hand. He stumbled back and his mask flew off of his face.

"Kija!" Yona yelled.

"I'm sorry princess, I hit him harder then I expected." He apologised. I facepalmed.

"That's a lie. You were clearly showing off. By any chance, where you trying to impress princess Yona?" I teasingly asked. Before anything else could happen, the cave started shaking.

" An earthquake!" Someone yelled. I yelped and ran to a corner to try and shield myself from the rocks.

"Yona!" Kija yelled and shielded Yona. Yun and the others also ran for cover. I shut my eyes tight and waiting for the rumbling to stop.

Slowly I opened my eyes and stood up. The exit was completely sealed. I gasped. 'Are we going to die here?!' I shook my head.

"I-is everyone alright?" I asked as I looked around. I spotted Yona on the ground. "Yona!" I ran over to her. She opened her eyes.

"Kija." She looked up at him. I made sure she was okay before looking around again. I then spotted a terrified Yun sitting with his knees folded into his chest. I walked over to him.

"Hey Yun, are you okay?" I knelled next to him and put my hand on his arm. He was shaking.

"W-we are going to die.. We've been sealed in. With this many people in such a small area.. We'll run or of air!" He exclaimed. I tried to stay calm. We can't die here..right?

"I TOLD YOU I WOULD SO TOP SAYING IT!" Kija yelled.

"Kija?" Yona questioned.

"That stupid Thunder Beast's voice keeps popping up in my head!" He explained. "But protecting the princess is my duty." The bandages on his arm started unraveling.

"Uh Kija, what are you going to going to do?" Yun asked. Kija gave a creepy grin.

"Dig." He started digging. Cries of 'monster' filled the air. "You guys are annoying. You people who protect the Blue Dragon's village are pitiful. I'm the White Dragon." The villagers started talking.

"White dragon?"

"You mean there are more like the Blue Dragon with a cursed power?"

"UWAAAHHHHHHHH! I CANT TAKE THIS ANYMORE! Let me out! Let me out! I never wanted to live in cellars like this! It's all his fault!" The villager started banging his fists on the wall.

"Why do you people hate him so much?!" Yona yelled. The villager talked about the fear of their child being the next one and his power to turn people to stone. He also talked about how he killed an entire army as a kid. Before he could continue, Kija interrupted him.

"He's here." I turned to see the Blue Dragon. He walked towards the man. He started panicked and managed to smack his mask off. I stared at his beautiful golden eyes.

'So these are the eyes of the Blue Dragon.'

I bent down and retrieved his mask. He closed his eyes and I handed it to him. He nodded his head in thanks then picked up an axe. He then walked towards Kija.

"U-uh..What are you doing here. You had no intention of joining us, right? Did you change your mind?" Kija asked as the Blue Dragon approached him. The Blue Dragon raised his axe above his head and swung down.

"Kija!" I yelled. The axe hit the wall beside him. I sighed in relief.

"You! If you were planning on helping us escape then you should have just said so! That was misleading! Also... Where are you digging? The exit is that way.." Kija asked.

"It's quicker...this way..." He replied. Yona grabbed a dagger and declared that she would dig. After a bit of argument she allowed to. Yun and I also located daggers and helped.

As I was digging, I started to feel dizzy. I tried to shake it off and continue. But it was extremely hard. Then, Yona collapsed beside me.

"Yona!" I called out. Kija instructed the Blue Dragon to carry her to his room. Yun tapped my shoulder.

"You should go too. You don't look like you're feeling well." I shook my head.

"I'm fine!" I continued digging. Soon enough, Yona returned to continue digging.

'We have to get out of here!'

Then, the wall burst open. Kija went to shield Yona and a piece of the rubble hit him in the head. I sighed in relief and smiled.

'We are out....'

"Princess!" Hak ran towards Yona and hugged her. I mentally squealed. After that, he explained how he found the same spot to dig.

Yona turned to the Blue Dragon, "Blue Dragon! I'll say it one more time. I want to leave with you. Let me take you with us. You are not destructive. You are a great person." She held our her hand. He hesitated before grabbing it.

I walked over to Yun and Kija. "Okay! Technically three Dragons down, two to go!....." I smiled but a sudden wave of drowsiness washed over me. "Hey Yun.. Is it time for bed? Goodnight...." With that, I blacked out.




I'm sorry! I said that the Brown Dragon's name would be revealed but this chapter just became too long! About 1885 words now, exceeding my normal chapter length of about 600 words. Well, bye!
