Unknown Worlds: Tale Mistake

"How… How did I ended up here?" I thought, groaning while my eyes adjusted to the lights around me. I opened my eyes, blinking several times an gazed around the large room. Noticing little flame torches attached to the walls, burning themselves out. It was silent inside except for the ringing in my ears as I turned my attention to what was in front of me. Two large pillars stood at a equal distance from each other. A set of stairs was position in the center of it. On top of the stairs was a large dark red chair that faced me. Someone was sitting on top of it. I cannot figure out who. I walked two steps closer towards the chair and stopped, my eyes raised to it glancing hoping to know who was the figure that sat on it.

The figure was large and had an equal length pair of wings as me. I cocked my head to the side and spoke, rather quietly as nervousness and agitated erupted within my belly. No answer. I tried again a bit louder; but it seems that my voice fell on deaf ears. Tightening my mouth a bit, I drew a breath. But a sudden sound had startled me and so did the figure on the chair. For he turned and gazed, lowering his eyes down to me and blinked. I heard running footsteps behind me, getting louder as they drew near. 'Were they my friends?' I pondered to myself and tempted to sneak a look behind of me. The voice called out and I turned back to the figure who now stood up. Its wings spread out calmly as he takes a step forward down the stairs. But accidently slipped upon the wet spot near the bottom and came crashing down to level grounded.

I said nothing but was bewilder by what I had saw. As my eyes stared onto him, I saw him picked himself up and dusted his scales about before raising his eyes over to me. I got a good look upon what he looked like. He had silver scales and a underbelly. His horns were long and thing stretching out to his back. His wings were indeed the same length as mine. But somehow, he looked almost older than me. Even his voice proves it. "Who are you? Why are you here upon the dormant of the room?" "Th… This is your room?" I remarked, hesitated as I stepped back. He nodded and met eyes with me. Then his eyes went wide and his mouth opened. No voice came from it although he growled, shaking his head. Doubting some thought in his mind about something. Upon this, I tilted my head to the side wondering what he was thinking about.

It was a long silence between us. I watched as he shakes his head, muttering arguing with himself about something. Perhaps it was to me after all, I was not sure. I turned back to faced the other dragons who came in through the door; having realized that it was the same three I met when I had arrived in. Zawar, Ajiro and Kiser. All three of them were looking worriedly at him; but it was Ajiro who shifted her eyes to me. I said nothing and returned my gaze to the silver dragon behind me as his voice called out to me. "What is… your name? Young Silver dragon?" he spoke, I frowned and replied "Neriax." "And where did you came from?" He answered back again putting me back onto that spot. I frowned and said nothing as if my mouth was sealed with tough glue or something. My mind was racing, trying to figure out what I could say to him. This went on for several seconds before I parted my lips and spoke, "I came from the mountains when I was born; stayed there all my life before wanting to travel around the world." "And your parents?" "Dead." I started, finishing the conversation as I dipped my head down in shame.

Silence fell for a few seconds then it was interrupted by a voice behind of me. I turned shifting my neck over, noticing Ajiro sobbing. Her tears fell from her eyes and were making a weird dragon sound whenever we sob. The silver dragon behind me spoke up suddenly changing the conversation while we turned to him, "And… why are you here, Neriax?" "I wanted to seek an older brother of mine that was born before me. My dead parents had said that he lives here although they do not know his statues within the city-" Then he interrupted me with an awkward hug. I blinked for a while.

I stared onto the black walls in front of me in silence, my mind raced wondering what I should say to him. But nothing came up and I growled to myself, frustrated having nothing to say in answer while I felt him pushed my body off from him. I saw the widest smile upon his face. Staring back onto him, I started a new conversation with him. "I…Um." I started, raising my claw up to my neck. Flustered and embrassased, I had started blushing unknowingly shifting my head over to the side staring upon another set of blacken walls. He walked up to me and pressed his claw upon my chest, I turned to him. Our eyes met. Then I shook my head off and spoke to him asking "Why are you a silver dragon like me? Why are you asking so many questions?" I stamped my foot upon the ground and released myself from him while my tail glowed suddenly.

It illuminated the room. Everyone gasped and stared with their eyes upon it. Everyone except me for my eyes were to him. The silver dragon who stands before of him whom I had not known of his name yet I keep on demanding it. With every spoken word, I saw his face looking grim as if we were in an argument with one another. I had no control over myself. I kept on talking, shouting and throwing every word at him till he spoke with a booming voice. It drowned my own voice till I felt as if I was deaf. As I stared onto him with widen eyes, he stared at me with those sad eyes. His wings lowered and his tail slowly wagging a bit till it was just a flicker. With his arms widen out, he spoke "I'll tell you everything you wanted to know." "What is your name, first of all." I spoke and a sharp gasp erupted from behind of him but I chose to ignore it.

He chuckled. His mouth breaking into a laugh. His entire face was relieved as if what my question was a joke to him. His voice carried out to my ears and the dragons behind of me. I stared onto him bewildered with my eyes opened wide. I take a step forward towards him and reached my claw out to him. He paused and stared, I took the time to speak to him. "What is your name?" "me?" The silver dragon response with kind, a small smile formed upon his mouth as his eyes stared to me. "I am Silax. You may not remember me, Neriax at all. But…"  He stared but broke off the conversation again when tears formed from his eyes. It rolled down to his cheeks and down to his chin, forming a puddle beneath his legs. I looked at him while he raises his paw up onto his eyes rubbing them before he answered back, resuming whatever he was trying to say to me. "But… After hearing your… no; Our parents died just after you hatched has devastated me."

"Why?" I blurted out and the conversation ended there with our silence together upon the very small room that we were contained it. His eyes lowered and said nothing, staring upon my glowing tail. He opened his mouth, changing the conversation again with his claw raised pointing at it. "You… have not learned your abilities, have you?" "No." I replied with a shake of my head, adding "What is my ability? What is yours as well if we are brothers?" He cracked a smile so suddenly and takes a step back. His tail glowed pure white brightening up my face as it stings. I stepped back growling and moaning at the same time. Raising my claws up to shield my eyes, I heard a sudden rush of wind. Then the light was gone. Along with it came Silax wherever he is right now.

I blinked several times when the light had faded from the darken room while I shifted my head around looking for him. I heard moaning and growls from behind, along with a mutter from the brown dragon "Why does he have to do that thing again… It hurts." "What thing?" I asked almost immediately shifting my attention back to him when he gazed at me and shifted eyes avoiding eye contact as he growled again, bearing his fangs. He said nothing. No information as to what Silax had done. Though I was curious about it at once. When the silence fell over top of us again, I flickered my ear overhearing Kiser who clapped her claws together and smile at the rest of us responding, "Let's just sleep first. I'll show you to your room, Neriax." "Fine…" Spoke Zawar turning his attention back to the door with Ajiro in tow. I nodded without hesitation, yawning as I followed my friends out the door.
