Unknown Worlds: Tearing Byes

Pouring rain falls down upon my body, I shivered not because
I am cold. But due to the suddenly splashes of raindrops falling on me. I had
nearly thought that I was drowning all of the sudden which scares me to death.
My wings were struggling to keep me afloat, flapping them several times as I
could while keeping my eyes out in front of me. It was silent and I hated it at
most. I missed her. Her warm scales sitting next to mine. Her wings over the top
of me covering me from any forms of danger. Even invisible ones. But she was
gone, lost in the fire it seems. I could go back and rescue her from that tree
that fell upon her. I know, she would not want it. Tears swell against my eyes
as it blackens my vision. I stared up ahead, trying to keep them suppressed.
Hoping that I would find a place to stay until the rain washes out. As I sighed
in silence, keeping my thoughts within myself, I heard something in the
distance. It sounded like a roar from a lion. Looking back behind me, I noticed
that it was not a lion but something else.

It was a vast body of water, the roaring waves washed out
against one another as if they were fighting among themselves. I saw the water
splashing and drops of rain falling from such an impact that I thought I lost
my sudden balance because of them. I said nothing and raised my head up once
again, keeping my eyes up front to the horizon beyond of me. I looked. Nothing
was there. I squinted my eyes and tried my best to ignore the rain falling down
on me. It was hard and my head ached. I released a sigh and flapped my heavy
wings, having realized that they were kept spread out from me for too long that
they were starting to hurt already. I need to find a place to stay.

I looked down upon the forest below of me. Noticing that
some of the trees were snapped off their barks due to the sudden waters pouring
into their roots. Most of the trees were laying still in different awkward
directions that I had thought that they had 'died'. The water kept pushing
forth, destroying any tree that gets into its way. It was as if, it wanted a
race or something. But for what purpose? I raised my head again up onto the
horizon gazing out into the distance. Nothing was there for the third time and
I had thought that I was just flying overhead just to get away from the flood
underneath of me. I kept my mouth shut when the disaster had struck. I had not
seen it coming at all! A strike of lightning flashed before of me. It was so
sudden that I had lost my balance completely and fallen to the land seas below
of me making a quick splashed. I did not know how to swim and my mind was quick
to switch from different emotions and behaviors that I had learned from
experience. As a result of my panicked, I was found doggy paddling around. It
was so humiliating.

I continued 'swimming' in random directions, even circling
the same spot that I entered in several times. I was getting nowhere it seems
and I grew frustrated upon it. Just the thought that I would just sink and die,
allowing myself to reunite with my parents in the skies above, I spotted
someone there. Another dragon staring at me suddenly with that perplex looked
on its face. I was saved! I shouted, growling and waving my claws up into the
air as any normal 'human being' would do trying to catch the dragon's
attention… hopefully. But she was just standing there, staring at me with her
eyes as if she was some kind of guard keeping the waters running down the
forest road. I keep trying to get her attention, even shouting for the dragon.
It got its attention and shifted its head over to me, its wings spread out.
Flying out taking a jump or leap into the waters. It disappeared underneath and
I had to mutter underneath my breath, "My hero…" I spoke with sarcasm
as I was left to my dying state.

Soon, my arms grew heavy. My body felt weak to the point
that I had accepted my fate through death. I closed my eyes and allowed the
gravity to push me down onto the water depths below as roars of waters rushed
surrounding me, pulling me deeper down till I felt something underneath of me.

I felt it push against my rump as if someone down there
wanted me to survive or something. I struggled to break free from whoever grip
was there, but I felt weak. I sighed as I was raised to the surface. Breaking
out a sudden sigh, I lifted my head out and gazed my eyes upon the skies above
before hearing someone else popping besides of me. Shifting, it smile. I smiled
back but only growled at him later on "Just let me accept my fate, why would
you not?" I exclaimed at the dragon. "Because… we're family." I
widen my eyes in disbelief and shifted my head away growling at the dragon,
"We're not family. We're not even related to one another." "But
there's someone else." It spoke back, my ears lifted up and gazed upon it
in silence while it grinned and added, "Your brother is alive."
"Preposterous!" I demanded through gritting fangs as I lunged at it
determined to drown it for saying such thing, "I was the only hatchling
alive when my parents were dead. I had no one else." The dragon stared
back at me, a flashing a smile upon his mouth while I kept my claws overtop his
head. Without another word, I sighed and released him before asking another
threatening question, "Where is he?" "Over there, but first let's-"
"Don't need to." I barked snapping his sentence in half as he looked
at him with a blink then laughed, "Totally like your brother-"
"Shut up!" I argued as we waddled ourselves down the floor towards a
nearby rock that was inches above the waterline.

Staying silent for a while, I gazed my head towards the
remaining trees left standing. I listened to the birds chirping furiously
looking for their own relatives and friends. I sighed, somehow it drew the
other to turn his head towards me. "What's wrong?" he asked, I said
nothing in turn but gazed at him slowly and shattered my face into a smile
before responding back, "I… I am fine, but the question remains,
however." I started as he cocked his head to the side, pressuring me to
speak as I took the sign and started with a cough "Er… Who are you and
what's your name?" The dragon laughed afterward and smiled without
hesitation. Showing himself to me, I gasped in surprise. "I'm an Orca
dragon; Blue scales and green underbelly and wings. I resided upon the seas."
"Name?" I asked, and the dragon chuckled afterward adding, "The
name's Ajiro. Sea dragon, but also an Orca Dragon hybrid." "You do
not look like those Killer whales, Ajiro." I started and he cracked a
smile, "That's cause I'm special." "How so?" I gazed at
him.

But all he did was chuckle as if he was nearly laughing or
poking fun at me. It irritates me at most but I learned to cope with it and
dropped the conversation at once, shifting my eyes over as the sun's rays broke
through the clouds above. Ajiro then piped and I turned to him, "Say. I
have not kept my promise at once. I did tell you that I will lead you to your
sister." I growled at him suddenly as if threatening him ready to kill him
on the spot. But a grin cracked upon his mouth as his wings spread out forced
me to calm down and I nodded against the better judgment of mine. Getting up
also, I threw open my wings and readied but he already flew out hovering into
the air above of me as he smirked. I growled having said nothing back, flew up
to meet him into the air and flew Northwest towards his home.

To tell you the truth, dear readers. I had a mixture of
feelings resided upon my belly. I was secretly excited to see another relative
that was not born into my heritage. But also, I was nervous. If I had
remembered correctly, my parents always tell me I was the only hatchling they
got. Keeping secrets of any other that they had afterward. Though it was kept
for quite some years, it did take long for me to realize that I was actually
born after my mother had gotten a son who was older than me and is now living
in a faraway place.
