I looked at Lunk for a few moments, as I was a bit confused as to what it was, that he might be talking about. I squinted my eyes at him as well, to let him know that I was not quite getting at what it was that he was asking me to help him with.
I blinked a few times, as I was a bit lost, as it seemed for like I was the one that needed the help, rather than it going the other way around. I still did not know a lot of the fighting moves, and the techniques that were good, to tear apart a black dragon.
I shook my head at him, to let him know even more, that I still was not quite getting at what it was that he was asking my help for. After a bit longer, of no sort of explanation from him, I then finally began to start speaking to him.
"There is a lot that I still need to learn, Lunk, I am not sure what it is that you are trying to ask for help." I said to him. He looked at me for just a few moments, as he then blinked himself, as he did not look like he was even quite sure what it was that he wanted me to help him with in the first place.
I shook my head, as it felt like this might be a waste of time. At the same time though too, I also wondered if this might be some sort of test that Socra was doing on me, as it would not be the first time that both her, and my father had pulled something like this on me.
Lunk looked behind him, to make sure that the group that we were with, was far ahead of us. I began to start to think that this might not be a test, based off of the look that I saw on his face. It did in fact look like he was being serious when he said he needed my help.
It also made sense at the same time too, as to why he would come to me for help. It still seemed like in my mind, that I was not an important dragon, but it was finally starting to hit me a bit, that I was in fact important. I was going to be the next leader of the tribe, once my father passed along.
That would be a long ways away from now though, as I knew that I could be perhaps the age of 500, when that day came to pass. I knew that I would be a lot more grown up, and a lot more mature, than I was right now, when that day did come.
I was not too sure if I was the right dragon for help at the moment though, but at the same time, I knew that I might be the only dragon that Lunk might be able to turn to for help as well, as usually my father, Himla, and Socra were always super busy taking care of plans, and helping the tribe.
I sat there for a few moments, as Lunk finally turned his head back over to me, as now it seemed like he figured that he was now safe to go ahead and talk, without someone sneaking up, and listening to our clearly, private conversation.
After a little bit more time came to pass, I could tell that Lunk was trying to think of what it was that he should say to me. Once he figured out what it was that he had to tell me, he then nodded to me, as I did the same, and I nodded back to him, as I listened to what it was that he had to say to me.
"A lot of our group, seems to be getting a bit lazy, and they are slacking off a bit, and it does not seem that they want to listen to what it is that I have to say." He said to me. I looked at him for a few moments, as I kind of began to figure out what it was that he was going to ask of me to help him with.
He wanted me to lighten up the spirits of the group, I had to assume, and give them some kind and important words. Lunk sat there for a bit longer, as it seemed as though he was thinking of what it was that he should say next to me too.
I shook my head, as I figured that he might be a bit stuck in his head, of the exact words that he had to say to me, so I went ahead and began to ask him what it was, to try to get his brain working a bit faster. He lifted his head up at me, as he heard me begin to speak back to him.
"If you need me to tell them how important the war is... I've got it, I will just need a bit of time to think of some words to say, to get it through their heads." I said to him. He looked at me for a few moments, as it seemed as if he was a bit confused.
I wondered as to why that might be so at the same time too, as I figured that what I had just said to him, surely had been what it was that he was going to ask of me. It did not make any sense as to it being anything besides that.
Lunk looked around once again, as if a dragon had mysterious come in, to hear what it was that we were speaking of. I shook my head a few times, as I knew that all of the other dragons in the tribe were already in their assigned groups to begin with.
The only dragons that might be a bit confused as to where we were at, would be the dragons that were in our group, and at this point, they already knew that if either me, or him were not there, than it meant that we were doing something important, and we were not to be messed with.
I knew that all of them were just talking to each other, probably more worried about what the meeting was going to be about tonight, rather than what it was that we were doing at the moment, so I was not too sure as to what it was that Lunk was so worried for.
Right now though, Lunk did not seem to have any thoughts going through his head, as he had a bit of a blank look on his face. I squinted my eyes at him, at the same time as well, as I was really confused as to what it was that was going on with him.
He seemed to wake up at the same time too, as I wondered what it was that was going on through his head. He blinked a few times, as he had seen me squinting my eyes at him at the same time too, and then he nodded to me, and began to speak to me as well.
"No... No speech will be needed... Its just that they seem to not be as worried any more..." He said to me. I looked at him for a few moments, as I was a bit confused as to what it was that he was getting at in the first place. If he did not want me to talk to them, than what is it that he wanted me to do?
He seemed to have stopped, as if he had forgotten once again, as to what it was that he was talking about. I was not sure if that were really the case though at all however. As the look that was on his face, seemed to be a bit of a look as if he was not sure he wanted to say what it was that he was thinking.
I wondered what it was that he might be thinking about. I could not think of what it might be, as I was never really all that close with this dragon, and I did not know him all that well. I wondered if he might be thinking the same thing as the rest of our group was though.
I also thought, that perhaps he might not want to say what it was that he wanted to say to me, as thought that it might hurt me too. I shook my head at the same time, as I had been through a lot of harsh words, so I doubt that he could get much worse.
I had been doing my best, and I had been doing better than the rest of the group, but I wondered if he had been perhaps expecting more from me at the same time too. I shook my head, as I felt like I could not just sit here, and wait any longer.
I grunted a little bit, to get the attention of Lunk on me. He sat there for a bit more time, as if he had not heard the grunt, though I knew he had. Eventually he did lift his head up at me, as I nodded to him, before I then began to speak to him.
"Well... We lost a lot of dragons that we cared about, so I am sure that they have not forgotten about that yet... I am not sure what it is that you are asking of me." I said to him. He sat there for just a little while, as he then lowered his head to the ground once again, after he had heard what it was that I had just said to him.
I wanted to give up at this point, and just go ahead and walk over to the rest of the group. I knew that we were wasting quite a bit of time, and I knew that we had to get done with our training for the day too, before Socra called the meeting later tonight.
I sighed heavily a bit, as I knew that he had heard that too, as he shuffled around a little bit. We sat there for a bit more time, until he finally decided to lift his head up to me. This time he was the one that squinted his eyes at me, as he began to speak to me.
"No... Its just, more like, a lot of dragons do not seem to have much hope... A lot of them do not think that you are the dragon of destiny either." He said to me, as I looked at him, quite a bit surprised, and a bit confused at the same time, as to what he had just said to me.
I did not realize that was the case either, as I knew that a lot of them did not feel like we had much of a chance, especially after they had found out just how many of the black dragons there were in the first place. I did not realize that they didn't think that I was the dragon of destiny.
I knew that Kota, Kip, and Penta thought I was at least, but I was not sure who they thought was the dragon of destiny, if they did not think that it could be me. My brother was dead now, Mik was practically blind, so there was no other dragon that it could be.
I then saw the look on the face of Lunk, as it then began to make a lot more sense to me, as to what it was that he had just said to me. The look that I saw told me all that I needed to know, as I squinted my eyes at him, once again.
It was not the rest of the dragons in our group, that did not believe that I was the dragon of destiny, it was him that did not quite believe it in fact. It made a lot more sense to me now too, as I had noticed a bit of a changed look on me from him, ever since I had fought my own father.
It was fair enough for him to think like that too I suppose, as the dragon of destiny was supposed to never lose. At the same time though, surely he did realize that I did not stand much of a chance in that might against my father at all.
My father was nearly twice my size, and he knew a lot more about fighting than I did. He was a lot more angry than I was too. I then shook my head once again, as I remembered the fight that I had done with Penta a long time ago too.
I was sure that he was not thinking of that though, as in the end, I had won that fight in fact, and the reason that I had gotten off to a bad start, was due to the fact that I had been quite a bit cocky going in to the fight in the first place, as Penta had never beaten me before.
I tried not to think back on that either as well, as I did not want to get angry at Penta again, as me and her had finally managed to get back to being friends again. I knew that a lot of the tribe was not going to have that same view on her ever again though.
After a bit of some time had passed again, as I saw that Lunk had his head to the ground still, I then looked at him with a bit of a suspicious look, though I knew that he could not see it. I shook my head to myself, as I then began to talk back to him.
"It seems like you are the one that does not believe that I am the dragon of destiny..." I said to him. He looked up at me, as I saw that he had a bit of an embarrassed look on his face. He did nod to me in fact, to let me know that it were the truth. I rolled my eyes, as I then kept on talking to him. "You forget that my brother came back from the dead to tell my father that I was."
He sat there for a few moments, as he I could tell that he was thinking about what it was that I had just said to him. After him thinking it over in his head for a bit more time, he then lifted his head back up to me, as this time he squinted his eyes at me, as he began to respond to me.
"I just don't know... I have not seen the powers that it said you would have, I just don't have enough proof..."
