Unknown World: Boxed In

The door opened before of me, I stared for a moment before glancing over to Zawar who just grumbled before of him. He had not exchanged any words to me while the silence kept between of us, I stared keeping my eyes away from him and started walking into the room. Pushing the door farther away from me. I gazed inside. The room was large enough for a dragon to live in. A bed to my right; along with a bookshelf. The window was before of me and the other two I had mentioned before. I walked straight to bed. Raising my claw and touching just the surface of it, I felt it became soft to my touch. I figured that they had used a bunch of cloths to stuff the bed. Chuckling slightly at that, I turned to Zawar nodding. He acknowledged me and turned his tail, heading back into the halls. Before he could do so, I spoke his name. he froze and turned to me, raising an eye in interest. He had wondered what was on my mind. I spoke out without hesitation or thinking about it; "May Kesir entered into the room." "Why do you want her?" Zawar questioned.

I froze in my spot for my tongue was unable to say anything. Keeping my eyes upon him, my mind tried to rush things. Piecing together some thoughts on exaggerating why I had wanted her. But no matter how I tried, my face always ended up red like a cherry for some strange reason. It seems, however, that he kept note. I could see on his face that he was smiling faintly; or was it a frown? I am not sure actually. I kept quiet, allowing the atmosphere of the room quelled with the ringing in my ear. He darted out of the room, shutting the door behind of him and left. I heard footsteps erupting faintly just outside until it all faded out into the mists of my ears. This was the time I screamed.

I threw myself upon the bed. Covering my own face with my claws, my thoughts entering and exiting my mind. Thinking how I had upright embarrassed myself in front of a royal. I laid perfectly still upon the bed, my wings spread covering my body while my tail curled up to my underbelly. I opened my eyes suddenly and stared at the bed for a moment. Then looked up upon one of the edges, spotting two pillows. Blinking to myself, I rose up. I got to my two back paws and stared at the pillows before of him. My heart beats rapidly against my chest as I wondered what this could mean. Then again, it could be wrong also. While I frowned and gazed my attention towards the window where the sun shines brightly against me, sending its warm gazed upon my body and wings. I breathed, relaxing myself then exhaled until a door knock.

I jumped unknowingly from the bed; hitting my head against the ceiling above of me. The pain entered between my horns while I groaned in pain and heard someone speak from the opposing side of the door. It was her. Finally realizing it was Kesir, I chimed happily. Casting my voice out while she heard me, I turned my head noticing that the doorknob was turning. Then was pushed opened. For out came the dragoness; Kesir who smiled brightly upon my eyes. She walked forth and jumped onto the bed, sitting down next to me while I smiled purring back onto her. However, the sounds were erased from the room just under two seconds or less while I was uncomfortable. Coughing and turning my head away from her, she turned to me cocking her head to the side wondering what I was doing.

I felt the heat rising from the back of my neck. My mind was rapidly racing through thoughts; hoping that I did not screw this all up. For while I frowned and gazed back onto her, I spoke. "Lovely weather?" "It is not too much however." She smiled afterwards, her tail swaying back and forth as I watched her. "How so?" I replied, wanting the conversation to continue. Her face broke into an eased as her muscles relaxed, her lips parted explaining what had happened so far and I tried my best to understand it all. For those who do not know what she was talking about; let me explain. First, the aftermath of the earthquake that had suddenly hit the city prior to my arrival. You see, the earthquake had destroy most of the buildings and brought down many caves. Probably burying them alive. The workers of this city were trying their best to dig them out. From Kesir, I had heard that Ajiro was helping out too. Probably in the worst case scenario perhaps. I had to laugh at that part too.

And the normal, old routine scenario that you folks at home probably commonly speak of this every day. The weather, how hot it is right now here. I do not think they had a single raindrop here at all for a couple of days now. Do they even have water parks here? But if you do not speak of the weather; there may be some other topics mentioned here that could be related. But never mind that all, we are getting off topic here anyway.

I coughed again and she stopped suddenly, glancing at me with those eyes. She asked suddenly, "Why you cough? I was just talking about the news and p-" "It is best if we do not speak of them." I started, swaying the conversation into another topic. But she frowned, whining a bit like a horse in need of a drink… probably the wrong analogy. We fell to silence, she started lowering her body backwards behind me and laid upon the bed. She looked up onto the ceiling above while I turned to her asking about my older brother, Salix. "He is doing fine. Just some mental work." Kesir replied, looking to me while I nodded in response. We fell silent again, unsure what to talk about at this time given. While I raised my eyes over to the window, I suddenly felt a gentle wind blowing against my scales and wings as I blinked. Bringing my attention to it and asked another question to Kesir. But she said nothing; for she got up from the bed and walked over to the door. I got up and followed her out into the hallway I go. We ran farther down the halls; making twists and turns among the corners until we reached the door.

The winds were blowing harder than usual. I frowned and felt my heart pounding against my chest again as I wondered to myself. I walked slowly forth, getting in front of Kesir before reaching my claw for the door. Turning, I pushed it opened and I gasped in result. In front of us was not a room, but a swirling vertex where lightning flashed before my very eyes. I stepped back to Kesir who growled. Pushing me away from her, she ran straight for the vertex. Disappearing inside. I got up from the ground, paranoid and panicking as to what I should do. Looking about upon the halls beyond me, I noticed that no one was here besides myself. I sighed; grinding my fangs together hearing something among my fang. I had no choice.

Without hesitation, I too dived through the vertex. I watched as my surroundings turned from a peaceful environment of plain walls and floors to a complex swirl of dark purple clouds and lightning flashes all around me. I thought that I was going to be sick. Luckily, it was short and it dumped me into a black unknown where the other three were being held. I saw, Ajiro sitting in the corner. Raising her claw up against the dark unknown and pressed against it then put it down again confirming that it was a wall. Salix was sitting in another corner, his eyes closed as if he is dead but breathing calmly. Next to him was Zawar who just impatiently growled, crossing his arms as he gazed against the opposing wall before of him.

Prior to my arrival, my body slammed against the solid hard ground below of me. Waking up the others from their unfunctional  escaped methods… or are they just trying to pass the time? Either so, I got up from the ground. Landing my four claws while Salix, Zawar and Ajiro ran up to me. But only Salix hugged me tightly with tears running down his closed eyes. I gazed my attention towards Ajiro and Zawar but they shrugged afterwards and spoke.

"Do you have any knowledge as to who was behind this?" Zawar questioned curiously. I shook my head afterwards and frowned and he growled slapping his tail against the ground. "We were stuck in here for a while." Ajiro replied to me, "However we do not know how we got here. All of the sudden, we were caught by the purple vertex." "Same." I remarked, looking around the room again and asked them, "By the way…" They all looked at me. "Where is Kesir?"
