We had made a camp little ways away from the cave. We had a good escape route if need be but that was only if we could not take him, but it was 10 on 1. Then again he was an unknown threat. The thing that had me on the edge was that he knew my name and most of my clan's secrets. Was he a clan member that was exiled and if so what did he?
"Hay Ryuu, come with me we need to talk,", I whispered to him. "Delin,", I shouted, " Ryuu and I are going to go get some food." Then we walked a good bit away from the camp if we yelled they could not here us, but if we screamed they would here us.
"So what do you think we should do about this situation we are in?" I asked Ryuu looking for his advise on the subject.
"Well I think we would see what is going on and scope at the area and see if there are any other entrances to the cave.", Ryuu said making a valid point. The cave looked to have a good defense but the thing it lack wars visibility. We had came up with a plain and nodded in agreement. Ryuu was going to to be the distraction and have a conversation with him and see if he could get any information about him. He headed back to the group and told them what was going on. Then he walked to the same spot and yelled, "Old Man, I have a few questions. I would like you to answer some please!"
"I will provide some answers to what I can.", The Old man said back.
"The first one is what should we call you and seeing how you know one of our people's name I think it is a fair trade, don't you?" Ryuu exclaimed.
"You may call me the Elder Zekiel ." Zekiel said.
"Well Elder Zekiel how long have you been in this place and why have you not brought people here.", Ryuu said as I was walking to the side of the waterfall where I saw a small entrance or crack in the ricks. I looked and wave to Ryuu to signal that I have found a secondary entrance to this cave.
"Well I have tried to bring many of people here, but they have all said that the place they lived was safe for them and they dare not leave it.", Zekiel said with sorrow and pian in his voice, " Do you know how many Cities and villages I have seen fall, because they did not want to leave their "safe" place. That is true stupidity." This had given me enough time to peek in and look around the cave the cave was enormous. The light in the cave comes from some sort of crystal that emerges through the cave roof and walls. The place looked to be self-sustained. When I was doon looking around I had signaled to Ryuu to rap it up. "Elder Zekiel how do you know so much about the Dragon Blood Clan, and how do you know Xeon's name?" Ryuu questioned.
"I know more then that, but that is not what you asked. I know Xeon's name because I was there when he was born, and I know a lot of things about the clan because I was once at the head of it." Elder Zekiel spoke.
"Well thank you for the answers." Ryuu exclaimed.
Then Ryuu and I met up with the others. When we got there the looked at us to see what information.
P.s. Sorry i have involuntarily started a second book. So it may take a while to get to both of them because I also have school.
