How could he just throw a bomb like that and leave? ππβ. What did he want from me anyway? I waited and waited. I called all the gods I knew, I slammed at the door The Combuster had locked before he left, but I got no reply. So I decided to walk around and see the guy's lair. I mean an empty mind is a devil's workshop and to be honest, I did not want the Combuster and his friends having a party in my brain right now.
The lair was pretty big. The curved walls were grey and had some engravings on them. I looked closely and saw that they were...something I had absolutely no clue about.
Unamused and unfazed, I started to walk away when I heard a silent moan. It came from the other side of a tunnel in front of me. I walked through the tunnel and looked around. It wasn't any bigger than the other one. In one corner of the room I saw a boy around my age. He looked weak . I walked towards him as slowly as possible.
"Umm .....Hey." I started.
"Who are you?" He asked "New here?"
"Umm ....I'm Alex" I let out my hand for a handshake but he just stared at it. After a few more seconds of awkward I took back my hand." Anyway, ya I'm new. How long have you been here?"
"I don't know... six months maybe?"
"Oh. Do you know what this place is? Where it is ?"
"This is a lair and no I don't know where it is"
Ok, he is annoyed. I told myself.
"Are you here alone?" I asked.
"No"
I got a relief. If there was someone else I could talk to that person and get out of here.
"Who is it?" I asked enthusiastically
"Alex " he replied bluntly
"Who?" I asked.
"You"
"Well she is definitely of no help I can tell you that"
I walked a little away and he screamed "Nooo"
I was about to turn back and yell πΆπππ πππ€π πΌ'π πππβπ‘ βπππ. πΌ'π πππ‘ πππππ πππ¦π€βπππ.
But then I stepped and something clicked and I knew I was doomed. After my heartbeat was back to almost normal, I asked him,"What is this?"
"I told you not to step on it. Now you're gonna die, that is, unless I find a way to get your leg out of there without the alarms going off. You see, the moment you take your leg away from there, the alarms go off and the dragons come in."
"For stepping on some alarm on the floor?!" I screamed
"No. For releasing the dragons they kept captive."
"Oh..... Well ...get me out of here!"
"Why would I do that?"
"Say what now?"
"If the dragons come they'll kill you and that will give me enough time to escape through that window behind me." He said with his eyes fixed on me.
"So why didn't you escape before?"
"Because there is also a camera behind you that the guards will be looking at right now."
"Ok look, get me out of this mess and we can get out together. I know how to disconnect cameras." I wasn't lying. I had experience disconnecting cameras in my school when Me and friends wanted to bunk classes without getting caught.
"Really?"
"Yah, there is a stone over there just switch that with my leg." Seriously did these people just get huge stones for free?
"Ok" he brought the rock and at the same time I removed my leg and he threw the rock on the switch.
"Ok now what?" I asked.
"You disconnect the cameras"
"I don't think it will be necessary" I stared in horror at the window behind him.
"What? You said-"
"Remember the dragons you were talking about? Ya I think I just met him"
He turned around and saw the dragon staring back at us.
"Run" he said
Finally the guy says something informative.
