Chereads / Dragon Wars: Flames of Pain (Book 3) / Chapter 42 - Chapter 40 (Jangra's POV) Impressive v2

Chapter 42 - Chapter 40 (Jangra's POV) Impressive v2

I looked at Nink with quite the blank look on my face, as if I had not heard what it was that he had just said to me. I kind of wish that I had not heard what it was that he had said if I was going to be honest with my self. I had never wanted to be a leader, so I really was not all that used to formulating a plan if I was going to be serious.

I shivered a little bit, as I looked back behind me one more time real quick, to see what it was looking like. I looked all around the circle that we were in, as I saw a bunch of dragons staring at us with their eyes squinted. Perhaps as if we were doing some thing that was suspicious though, I knew that not to be the reason as to why they were staring at us.

They were waiting for us to make a move, and perhaps it might be a bit of a surprise for us to wait a little bit longer, as it might shock them when we all of the sudden did run out. That was what we had to do of course right? Well maybe not run, but we had to fly faster than we ever had before.

We some how had to find a gap in the circle that we were in right now, and make our way through it, faster than we had ever gone before. I was not sure how we were going to do that. There were 5 dragons staring at us in the circle, and not just that, but these were 5 very strong dragons none the less.

Nink was not exactly a strong dragon, so the first part that was going to be hard for him, was getting out of the circle that we were in at this very moment in time. Once he was out of there how ever, I felt like he had a chance.

But I had to remember that it was just us 2 how ever, and this was not going to be easy at all. As a matter of fact, it might very well be the hardest thing that we had ever had to do. What was I saying? The hardest thing that we had ever had to do was fight off the black dragons... It was not just hard for us physically, but also mentally because we all lost a lot in that.

Nink knew that for a fact, as he had lost both of his parents in that battle that we had with them. I felt a bit sick, as I shook my head at the exact same time as well. That was besides the point, and it was a couple of years ago now. I had to get over it... It was time for me to wake up, and it was time for me to do my job as a leader, even if I did not want to be one.

I sighed, as I continued to look around, to see if there was any sort of plan that I could think of off of the top of my head. Now that we did not have Penta, my original plan that I had been thinking of was not going to work for us. I could try to wait, but there were 6 dragons waiting for her, and her odds off getting in to the circle with us were damn near impossible.

Also, as I looked to the other side of the clearing, to see how our team was doing, I could see a bunch of dragons on Kota and Lunks team, getting to our 2nd layer of defense. I knew that we did not have long til they got in to the circle either, and once that was to happen, I felt like that was when it was all going to go bad for us.

I had to think quick... What was it that I also had been thinking about? I shook my head, as I had my thoughts for some reason on when they had got in to the circle the last few times. The last time of course, not going to be humble, I had saved the day for our team. But, the times before that were not so good for all of us.

I blinked a few times, as I remembered that the first time for instance, Kip had been flying in, and he had been taken down at the last moment, only for Kota to some how miraculously grab the branch before it hit the ground, and keep on going where it was that Kip had started for their team.

That was of course, scoring their first point. We had scored 2 more after that, but I was not going to lie, even if we had not broke the rules, we still did at the very least pull a bit of a cheap shot on the other team. I knew that for our 3rd and final point as well, things were not going to be nearly as easy for us as it had been before.

Lunk had given his team quite a stern talking to, which of course led to us scoring our 2nd point, but that was besides the point now. It was not going to be easy, that was right... How in the world were we possibly going to be able to get in and score our last point for our team?

I stared ahead of me for quite a bit of some time, as I saw that all of the sudden ahead of me, a dragon on the other team broke lose from the pack, as it was heading straight towards our circle. I was about to yell to me team, to get their attention, but I heard a dragon yell before I had the chance to do so, as I remembered the defensive plan that Nink had come up with.

I shook my head, as those were useless thoughts to me at this very moment, as they did not matter at all, and they would do nothing to help us. I gulped a bit hard, as I saw the dragon flying right towards our circle, and I heard the dragon speak up quite a bit loud for the rest of our team to hear, so that they knew what was going on.

"There's a dragon coming to the circle!" She said, yelling as loud as she possibly could, to let the rest of our team know as to what was going on all around us at this very moment. I blinked a few times as well, as I then began to watch it all unfold in front of my eyes. I was nearly about to fly out of our circle to do what it was that I had done not too long before now.

I did not have to do that to my surprise, and luckily enough for us, as it seemed like Nink's plan actually was starting to work, as I saw not just the fact that the female dragon had slammed in to Kip, slowing him down quite a bit, but also the fact that all of the sudden, whilst Kip was being slowed down, a few other dragons flew over to help her, coming to the rescue.

Shortly after all of that went down in front of me, I saw that Kip was taken down easily with so many dragons on him. I looked around at the same time as well, as I was worried that if so many dragons had came to help her, than it meant that a bunch of other dragons on the other team would have a free pass to our circle.

That was not the case to my surprise how ever, as it seemed like the rest of our defense was doing just fine, as I saw Lunk, of all dragons be taken down to the ground with 2 dragons on top of him, from a bit further away from where all of that had just gone down right in front of my eyes.

I stared for just a little bit longer, still a bit worried that things were not going to be okay. That was not the case at all to my surprise how ever, as I saw that things were headed back to normal, after what it was that I had just witnessed happen directly in front of my eyes a few moments ago.

I turned my head over to Nink at the exact same time too, as I nodded to my old pal, as I cracked a little bit of a smile at the same time too, letting him know that I was proud of him. He did not smile back at me, to my surprise how ever, like he usually did when I did some thing such as that.

Instead he just had his eyes squinted to my surprise, which had me a bit held back, as for one, I was not so sure as to what was going on, but also another thing was, I had not a clue as to why he would have his eyes squinted at me, as I had never seen him do that to me before as well either.

At first, I wanted to be a bit upset about it, as I was feeling a little bit over the edge, as after all, I was the leader, and I knew that he should not be treating me that way, right? I shook off those thoughts at the same time as well how ever, as it then began to hit me, why he was acting that way in the very first place any ways.

It was my fault after all, I was starting to realize. None of that would have happened in the first place, if I had just spoken to Nink, and I had told him my plan. I did not have a plan at all though, and that was a bit of the problem, as I was not so sure as to what it was that we should do.

I closed my eyes for just a few moments as well, as I did my best to try to drown out all of the other thoughts. I needed to think of a plan, and I needed to think of it quick, as we were running out of time at this point. That same thing that I had seen happen for us before, I felt like I knew it would not happen again. I let out a bit of a sigh.

I felt like I could try to use Penta as a distraction, but at this point she would not have a clue as to what was going on, or what our plan was, which of course we did not have one yet. So that was out of the question, as even if I told Penta, than that would ruin our plan, and it would let the other team know.

I shook my head, as for some reason at the same time as well, my thoughts were going back to the fact of how the other team had scored the first time. I was doing my best to shake off all of that, as I knew that, that did not help us at all, but as I kept my eyes closed, for some reason, I was starting to think, that maybe it did help us.

I did remember in the rules, though no one ever used it, that so long as the branch did not touch the ground, it could be dropped to another dragon, or it could be thrown back wards too. No one ever used that, or even thought of that rule for that matter, as it was so hard to even try to do.

I had never tried it before though, so I could not just rule it out. This might be our chance to score though! I just had to hope that Nink did not think of it as a stupid idea, and that he might think that it could quite possibly work for us. I knew that if the other team saw us do that, they would be so lost, and so confused, that they would not know which dragon to go after.

They would be chasing the branch, rather than be chasing us, and I knew it as well. I highly doubt that Lunk had thought that this could be our plan, and that he had thought of a way to defend against us. I felt like his stern talking to his team mates was more him getting upset, and telling them that they had to do a better job.

Lunk was not much of a leader, as I was not going to lie. He realized that as well, as it was a lot of the reason that he let Kota be the other team leader, rather than it be him self. So, I knew that there was just about no possible way that Lunk had thought that it would be our plan, and there was no way he had planned a defense to stop that.

I shook my head at the same time too, as I did my best to shake off all of those thoughts, as I felt like I could almost hear Lunk in my head saying, 'a loss is a loss'. I shivered a bit, as I finally opened my eyes, to see that Nink was staring at me still, this time with not so much of his eyes squinted at me, as if I was being suspicious, but more of a worried look on his face.

I was not sure if he was worried about me, or if he was worried about how we were going to score our final point for our team. I shook off those thoughts at the exact same time as well, as I realized that they were pointless thoughts, and they did not help me at all at the current moment.

I blinked a few times, as I all of the sudden nodded to Nink. This plan that I had, it had to work. It was the only way for us... I knew that at the very least, the fact that the other team was going to be lost was one thing, but the fact that we needed to throw the branch to one another a bit accurately was a whole nother thing.

I looked at Nink for a little bit of some time, as I saw that he did not hesitate to nod back to me, as he all of the sudden smiled at me at the exact same time as well, as I could tell that he was excited, and he was ready to hear what it was that I had planned for me and him to go in and score our last point for our team.

I stared at him for a few moments more time, as I was not sure what to do, but after a little while longer, I did in fact smile back at him, as I felt some sort of glimmer of hope that this might some how work for us. I then nodded to my self, as I remembered what it was that I was going to say to him, as I then began to speak.

"I know this might sound crazy, and it is some thing that no one has ever done before... I think it is our only chance to score our last point though... There is too many of them... I just need you to trust me in what I am about to say to you." I said to him at first, as this time, it was my turn to squint my eyes at him, as I wanted to make sure that he had heard what it was that I had just said to him in the first place.

It was a crazy plan, I was not going to lie. I was not sure if it was going to work, and it might sound quite a bit stupid. It was my only plan though, or at least the only plan that I felt like could work for us, as I had plenty of plans to score for my team, if this was a normal game for our team.

This was not a normal game for the team, and it was time I faced the fact, as it was a test for me, not a test for the others as much as they might think that it was. Lunk had planned this out for me right quite some time, even if my father and Socra might have some thing to do with this, and might have played a part in it.

I let out quite a loud sigh, as I kept my eyes locked on Nink for quite a bit longer for some odd reason or another, as it seemed like I had lost my train of thought, and I had lost all that I had been planning on saying to him before all of this. I blinked a few times, as I did my best to try to remember as to what it was.

I stared at Nink for a little bit long, with a bit of a blank look on my face, as I did not even feel like a real dragon at the moment, as I was not sure what was going on with me. Thankfully I did not have to have that train of thought for all too much longer, as I saw Nink all of the sudden nod to me.

I blinked a few times once again, as I kept the same blank look on my face that I had before. It then hit me as to what it was that he was doing, as I all of the sudden finally nodded back to him in response, to let him know that I was paying attention to him. Nink this time let out a loud sigh, which I was not sure if it was directed at me, or if it was directed at him self.

I had to assume that it was directed at him self, as it never happened to be that he would be any sort of upset at me. I knew that he got upset at him self a fair bit often, but he did seem to be acting quite a bit strange today. I shook off all of those thoughts at the same time too, as Nink finally began to speak to me, and I listened as to what it was that he had to say to me in the very first place at the exact same time as well.

"I am listening Jangra... I believe in you as well... You have done things that I have not ever seen any dragon ever do before... Especially today..." He said to me, as he nodded back to the other side of the clearing, as he added in that last part to me. I blinked a few times, as I was a little bit confused as to what it was that he had meant by it at first, but I then remembered the shocked looks on the faces of so many dragons.

I had done some thing clearly amazing, though I was not sure what it was that I might have done in the first place, as I had been so lost. I did not even remember taking down Lunk if I was going to be honest, as at that very moment, things had seemed to be a bit of a blur to me, as it all had quite literally gone so fast.

I shook my head, as I shook off all of those thoughts at the exact same time as well, as I knew that they did nothing to help me, nor did they do any thing to help Nink, and the rest of my team that I knew was relying on me at this very moment. I lifted my head up to Nink, as I blinked once again, as I did my best to remember as to what it was that I was about get at, before all of this in the very first place.

It then came back to me all at once, as I saw the smile on his face, as that seemed to help me for some odd reason or another. Positive energy brings positive energy back, I suppose, like my father used to tell me. I smiled back at my friend, as I then nodded to him at the same time as well.

He looked at me for a bit longer, with the same smile on his face as he nodded back to me. It was time... We were about to do some thing amazing, some thing that was against all odds, and some thing that no one would believe if you looked at all of the dragons that had been on my team when I had done as such.

I looked up at the sky for some reason, for just a few moments, as I smiled at the sky at the same time as well. It felt a bit strange for me to look at the sky, as I was used to looking at leaves when I looked up. I saw the sun, that was when it hit me, at the same time as well, as I then looked down at Nink, and then I began to speak to him, quietly so that the others around us could not hear our plan.

"You know how in the rules... Like we saw earlier with Kip and Kota, how you can drop the branch, and also throw the branch back wards?" I asked Nink, to let him know what it was that I was getting at. He tilted his head a bit, as it was clear that he was not quite sure as to what it was that I was in fact getting at, but he did in fact nod back to me to let me know that I had his full attention as well. I let out a bit of a soft sigh, as I was not sure how I was going to explain it to him. I shook my head at the same time too how ever, as I knew that Nink was a smart dragon, and that Nink would understand. I then began to continue to speak to him, as it was clear that Nink was listening to every word that I was saying to him at the exact same time too. "We are going to throw the branch back wards... Any time the other team gets near us, we toss it back to each other... It will have them so confused... This is going to work Nink."

I squinted at Nink, right in to my eyes, to let him know that I for one my self, I believed what it was that I had just said to him. Though in fact, I really was not too sure if I did in fact believe that this was going to work, I knew that I had to feed that positive attitude to my friend Nink, to at least give us some sort of hope.

Nink stared right back at me for just a little bit of some time, as I saw quite a bit of a look of shock on his face at the exact same time as well. I saw him look around us, as I did the same as he did, to make sure that they had not heard what it was that our plans were to score our next, and our last goal for our team, who was waiting with hope on the other side.

I saw that none of them had heard us, as I saw that most of them had blank looks on their face, at the same time too as well, I also saw that a few of them had a bit of a look of fear on their face, which I was not so sure as to what it was that they might be afraid of at this very moment any ways.

I was not going to attack them, or tear them apart as if they were a goat out in a field. I blinked a few times, as I then realized what it was that they were afraid of in fact, as for some reason, as it was a bit mean for me to do at the same time as well, I all of the sudden smiled at those dragons.

I saw that it had then held back quite a bit as well, as I saw both of them dip their heads to the ground, as I could tell that they were afraid. They were afraid of losing, and looking like a joke to the dragons they had lost to, as it was clear that they viewed them selves as a superior to each of the other dragons that were on my team.

I knew that was not how you were supposed to view the dragons that were in your tribe, even if it was a cave dragon, such as Nink was, as you were supposed to view them all as equals to you, even if you were a leader, such as I was, and such as I one day would be for the entire tribe.

I shook my head, as I all of the sudden realized at the exact same time as well, that this was our perfect chance for us to score our final point, and this was our perfect chance to get our selves out of the circle for that matter as well. I turned my head to Nink, as I saw that his eyes were locked right on to mine, as it was clear that he was waiting for me to take the lead.

I was the leader after all, and to be fair as well, I was the much bigger dragon compared to Nink, and I knew that I had to take the lead for us. I nodded to my self, as that was when I did it, with out any sort of hesitation, and within a moments notice as well, as I spotted a crack in between 2 dragons on the back side of the circle, and I flew right in to it.

To my surprise as well, as soon as I did so, rather than the dragons getting right up on me, to chase me down, the 2 dragons that I flew right in between, instead, which I felt like would make Lunk quite a bit upset if he would have seen it, they went back a little, as it was clear that they were a bit surprised, as well as they were a bit scared as well clearly.

I cracked a bit of a smile as I flew past, as I heard Nink fly right behind me, to get out of the circle with the hole that I had created for him. It was I who had the branch in my hand how ever, as it seemed like none of the dragons paid to attention to Nink, as soon as he got out of the circle as well.

It was going just according to plan, just as I had brought it up. This was going to work I was beginning to see that all of the dragons were flying right towards me. At first I was about to keep going forward, until I saw that they were starting to surround me in a bit of a circle at the exact same time too.

This time, it was them that had they smiles on their faces. I was stronger than them, and I knew it too, as I smiled right back at them, as I knew that it was going to get in a lot of their heads at the same time as well, as I saw many of them dip their heads a little bit lower to the ground. I used that moment to move forward in just the slightest as well.

The dragons were fast on their feet this time, to my surprise how ever, as I saw them lock in the area that I had just about been ready to go to. That was when the smile disappeared from my face as I was not sure what to do now, as it all of the sudden seemed to be that the plan that I had come up with, when I was with Nink, had suddenly seemed to disappear from my head.

I shook my head though, as I knew that I had to keep it in my thoughts, as I spotted Nink a bit of some ways behind me, as it was clear that he did not want to go too far away, as he wanted to make sure that I was able to throw the branch the correct distance that it needed to be able to get to.

I blinked a few times, as I suddenly saw Nink nod to me at the same time as well too, as it was clear that he was telling me that he was ready. I looked at him for a little bit longer, as I nodded right back over to him. I then all of the sudden at the exact same time as well too, then saw that the dragons were starting to close in the circle.

It was as if I was a sheep, and a bunch of dragons were surrounding me, and there was no where to go. I was starting to get a little bit worried, that they might take me down after I through the branch away, or before I had the chance to do so, as I moved back a bit, as I was a bit afraid.

The only problem was, there was a dragon behind me, and I knew it. I was screwed no matter which way you wanted to look at it. I stared at the dragons around me for a few moments, as I heard Nink yelling to me, to get my attention. I was a bit confused at first, until, it all of the sudden all came back to me once again.

I suddenly flew up a bit, and I then tossed the branch all the way back to Nink, who was a fair bit aways from me as well. At first I thought that it had not gone far enough, but I saw Nink fly forward a bit, and easily catch the branch with his paws. I let out a bit of a sigh of relief as well, at the same time too.

I saw shocked looks on the faces of the dragons that were all around me at first too, as it was clear that they did not have a clue as to what it was that I had just done, as they were all looking at each other at first, wondering what had just happened, and where the branch had just gone to in the very first place as well.

That was when they spotted Nink, as all of the sudden, they did not hesitate to forget that I was there with them, as they then began to fly over to Nink, to try and catch him, before he had a safe way back to the other side. At first I was a bit worried that a bunch of dragons were going to make a big fuss that I was breaking the rules, but it was clear that it was either not in their mind at the moment, or they realized that you were allowed to do as such.

I let out a sigh of relief, as I saw Nink fly forward a little bit at first, but it did not take long for the dragons to trap him in, such as they had just done to me. He had got a fair distance ahead how ever, at least just the slightest bit as to where I had been at. I was not sure how long this was going to work for how ever, as I knew at some point they were going to realize as to what was going on.

I shook my head, as I felt like it was going to work for the time being, and I just had to keep some kind of hope that one of us might have a clear way back to the other side on one of the throws back to one another. I shook my head, as though I knew I had to keep that hope up, at the same time as well, I could see that Nink needed help, as he was surrounded.

I also knew that he was a smaller dragon too, and that he could not throw nearly as far as I could with the branch as well. I shook off all of those thoughts as I then began to fly forward a bit, to get in to a position as to where he might be able to throw the branch over to me, and I would be able to catch it.

Once Nink saw me do as such, I saw him nod to me, as I nodded back to him as well, to let him know that I was ready, as I saw the dragons closing him in such as they had done for me. At first I had thought that they would be smiling at him, just like they had tried to do to me, to get in to my head, which I was also a bit worried that it might happen to him.

To my surprise though, that did not seem to be the case at all how ever, as I saw that they were more just in shock, as it was clear that they did not have a clue as to what was going on at this very moment around them. They kept on closing in the circle on Nink how ever, as Nink finally, all of the sudden threw the branch to me.

I blinked a few times at first, as I was a bit surprised as to how far he had been able to throw the branch, as I could tell that it was going to go a little bit over my head. I flew up a bit to catch it, which I did in fact do so, as I flew back a little bit at the same time as well, so that I was able to regain my self after all of that.

I blinked a few times, as unlike they had been when I had thrown the branch to Nink, it seemed that they realized as to what was going on this time, as they were a lot faster to all of the sudden fly over to me. I flew forward a little bit, but I did not get very far, as it did not take long for them to form a bit of a circle all around me as well.

I looked at them, as this time I was not nearly as freaked out as I had been before, as I kept on moving a little bit forward, trying to gain a little bit of a distance to the line on the other side, before I had to once again throw the branch back to Nink. I let out a bit of a soft sigh, as I was a bit worried that it was going to take too long, and the other team was going to score before we had the chance to.

I was tempted to go and look to see what was going on, on the other side, but I did not do so how ever, as I knew that they were doing fine, and when they did get in to a little bit of trouble, I would be able to hear it called, just like I had heard them do so the last time that it had happened.

I shook my head, as I got my focus back on to Nink, as I squinted my eyes at him as well, to make sure that he was ready for me to throw the branch to him at any moment. That was when I suddenly heard a voice come from one of the dragons that was right near me, as I tilted my head a little bit confused as to what was going on.

I squinted my eyes at her, as I saw that she did not have her eyes on me at all, which at first I felt like I could use to my advantage, but I realized that I would not, as I saw that they were too close around me in the circle. I shook off those thoughts, as I then listened to what it was that she had to say to the others that were with her.

"2 of you go stop Nink! Can't you see what they are doing?!" She said to the other dragons that were around her. I blinked a few times at the same time too, as I was a bit surprised, as well as I was a bit shocked that she had realized what was going on so fast at the exact moment in time.

Things were not going according to plan at all now, as I saw 2 dragons nod to one another, as the veered off from the circle, and they began to go after Nink, who I saw had a look off shock on his face at the exact same time too. I saw the other 4 dragons that were on me how ever begin to draw closer to me at the same time too.

I felt like at this point, I did not have a chance, nor a choice but to make my move, as I knew they were about to take me down. That was when, I all of the sudden, just like last time, tossed the branch up in to the air, all the way over to where Nink was, as I was a bit worried at the exact same time as well, that he was not paying attention, and that he would not see it coming.

Luckily enough though for us, I saw him begin to fly over to where I had thrown it to, so that he could catch it before it hit the ground. He did in fact do so, luckily enough for us, as I saw that 2 of the dragons that were on me at this very moment, begin to chase after Nink right away as well.

This time, when Nink had caught the branch as well, he did not have a chance to do any thing, as the dragons were right up on him. I was about to yell to him, to pass the branch back to me, but I realized for one, that would be a forward pass, and it would be a bit illegal, but also there were 2 dragons on me at this very moment, and there was not much I could do.

I had to at least give Nink a chance though, as I shook off those thoughts, and I quickly began to fly back wards, so that it would be a legal pass back to me. Nink had his eyes on me for quite some time as well, as I was just about to yell to him to pass it to me, when all of the sudden he flew up before I had the chance, and then threw the branch nearly as hard and as far as he could over to me.

That was not a good thing how ever, at all, as I was really not that far away from him, and he did not need to throw it that hard, as I looked up to see the branch flying way over my head. There was no way I could catch it, not that it mattered either, as I all of the sudden felt some one grab on to me, as I looked over to see that both of the dragons that were with me, were taking me down to the ground.

It was hopeless at this point, as there was clearly nothing that I could do, as I let them take me to the ground, as I hit the ground a bit hard as well, as I began to breath in heavily, as it was a hard gash to the lungs. I stood on the ground for quite a bit of some time, as I was quite a bit disappointed and I did not even want to get up and go back to our side at this moment.

I let out a bit of a sigh, once I regained my breath, as I felt hopeless at this point, as I was fairly certain that we did nit have a chance to win this game any longer. I knew that soon the other team would get back in to the circle, and after that it was going to be history, as they more than likely were going to score the final point.

I closed my eyes, as to no surprise, shortly after I had those thoughts race through my mind, I then heard yelling from dragons that were clearly on my team. It was clear to me at this point that we had lost, as I just kept my head down and my eyes closed through all of it, as I was not sure what it was that Lunk was going to be saying to me.

I felt like he was going to be telling a whole lot of dragons that I was not the dragon of destiny. I quite possibly might not be for that matter, even after all of what had happened to me, I still was telling my self that crazy enough, as I almost wanted to cry, as I remember the dragon that had come to me that night, in front of all of those other dragons that had witnessed it, was in fact my brother.

I let out a bit of a soft sigh once again, as all of the sudden at the same time as well, I heard the cheers of a bunch of dragons. At first, I had thought that the other team had gone in and scored, but the cheering grew louder and louder, as it seemed like they were getting closer and closer to me.

I still thought of it as nothing, as I knew that I was on the other teams side, but the voices of the dragons that were cheering, were not the dragons that were on the other team how ever. Those were the voices of a bunch of dragons that were on my own team! Why were they cheering? What had happened? What had I missed?

I blinked a few times, as soon as I opened my eyes, to try to see what was going on, as I saw that directly in front of me, in the middle of the line between the teams, all of the dragons that were on my team were in a circle of their own, and they were all cheering each other on, as I saw looks of excitement on all of their faces.

I was a little bit confused as to what I had missed, as I looked at the dragons that were on top of me still, as I saw that they had quite the look of disappointment as well as the look of a bunch of embarrassed dragons as well. I now was even more confused, as I all of the sudden pushed off both of the dragons that were on top of me, as I saw Nink flying over to join up with the rest of our team in the middle, as I saw quite the look of happiness on his face, which was the opposite look that I had seen a few moments ago.

What had I missed? What had happened? Surely Nink had not brought the branch back to the circle, and then gone back to score the last point that fast right? I knew that some times he surprised me with how fast that he was, but at the same time too, I also knew that there was no dragon that could be that fast, plus he was not the one with the branch in his paw.

No... There was a dragon with the branch in their paw, as I saw at the middle of the circle, that, the dragon that had the branch... It was Penta? I had completely forgot that she had even been on our team for one, and for the other thing, how had she even scored? She was not on the attack with us.

It then began to hit me all at once at the same time too, as I remembered seeing that Nink had thrown the branch way above me, as it was clear that there was no way that I could have caught that. But had he perhaps done that on purpose though? It was simply the only way right?

A smile cracked on to my face at the exact same time, as I realized in fact, that our team had won, as I saw the looks on the faces of the other team. I lifted my self up from off of the ground, as I all of the sudden ran to the middle, and I joined my team in the circle, as we all cheered together.

We seemed to cheer for quite a bit of some time, as it was clear that there was a look off shock, and utter happiness as well from my team, as we had done the unthinkable. How ever, after a few more moments, I heard a loud voice of a dragon not too far away, as it silenced all of the dragons that I was with, as we all turned our head over to the dragon that was speaking, to hear what it was that they had to say.

"Wow! Impressive!"
