《A Journey Through the Worlds.》006: Dragon.

The woman almost fainted from fright but then she saw that nothing bad had happened to her, so she looked at Dan questionly.
But in that moment Dan's brain was overwhelmed with shock and fear, he expected that it was true but still he prayed and hoped that he was wrong, except that the happening in front of him showed him how pointless and worthless his prayers were.
"So? Don't you have something to explain?" after looking at Dan for a while and seeing how he still was surprised and seemed as if he forget about all of them, the woman couldn't take it anymore and said.
"Oh... Yeah sorry I was just a little bit surprised and wandered how we are going to survive from now on." Dan answered with a helpless laugh.
Without giving any of the two any chance to speak Dan added while looking at the woman:
"First, from now on we will depend on you for our safety."
"How is that I don't even have a single arrow." the woman interpreted him.
"I don't know what ability the old owner gave the bow but now that I made you its owner I wonder what will happen..." Dan murmured to himself, before saying to the woman:
"Try picking a leaf and using it as the back of an arrow, pull the string and see what will happened."
The woman did as Dan said and she started pulling the string of the bow, and as she did that, a green arrow with a hint of purplish color, started manifestating from the leaf.
Both the woman and Leonard were surprised but she still kept on pulling as she wanted to know what will happen, and after pulling the string till the end, the arrow became real.
"Aim somewhere far and release the arrow, remember it must hit the ground." Dan said in a nervous voice.
He was nervous as he had no idea if the arrow will have some kind of ability.
The woman didn't know what was going through Dan's mind but she still released the arrow and hit a place twenty meters away, the woman was surprised because from the speed that the arrow traveled in she knew that the distance that the arrow would have traveled would have been way further than that if she aimed any further.
The woman was going to ask Dan something, but she saw that he was still looking at the place where the arrow fall with expectation. So she turned her head, and she was just in the time to see that in a circle of three meter with where the arrow fall as the center a cracking purple lightning appeared.
"Wh... What is that? where did that lightening come from?" Leonard shouted as he looked at the cracking lightning that disappeared as fast as it appeared, it stayed for less than four seconds.
"You knew this was going to happened. How did that arrow manifest from thin air? And what about that purple lightning? Just where are we? what's happening..." the woman turned her head to Dan and started questioning him with a calm voice, but even though she tried to hide it, it was apparent that she wasn't calm at all.
Her words calmed Dan a little, as he too was somehow restless; he released a breath of air and said with a calm expression:
"Ok I'm going to tell you everything I know but answer this question of mine first, both of you know about how after everyone lost consciousness they all got a bunch of weird memories about them living in other worlds, right?" seeing both of them nod Dan asked:

"Then can you tell me about the kind if worlds you have seen?"
"I remember living in a world where there was floating islands with strong flying beasts, the people there had strange ways to control those flying beast, I can't really remember a lot of things just some blurry memories." Leonard was the first to talk as he described the world that he remembered.
"For me it was a peaceful world, there were no signs of weapons at all, the entire world was under the rule of one government, it was just and there were no major crimes at all." the woman said.
"Well, for me it was a world where dragons killed most of humanity, the civilization in that world had a scientific advancement the same as our world, but it took the dragons less than four years to turn it to their world, and almost led humanity to extinction." Dan said after hearing what they said.
Of course that wasn't the only world that Dan remembered, but he had a reason to say that, so as he saw the surprised looks on their faces he said the thing that even he didn't want to believe:
"An... And I think that where we are now is the place that I remembered."
It took them both a while to understand what Dan said, but then as they did both of them shouted at the same time:
"WHAT?"
And then the woman said:
"How can this be? that's unbelievable, dragons? are you messing with me" the woman said, she found it unbelievable and she wasn't going to accept it just like that.
"Just wait for me to finish what I want to say. You see, everyone get these memories, they suddenly and out of nowhere appeared in everyone's minds so they can't be hallucinations, that for sure, and also I think that the memories that you have are somehow blurry and as you concentrate on them they become even blurrier." they both nodded so he added:
"Mine were the same but when I woke up here I found that those blurry memories became as clear as my normal memories, I remembered that I was living normally in that world till one day dragons started appearing, they were invincible, only big calibers of humanity's weapons were able to kill some of them, anyway it was like that and I remember dying one day as a dragon killed me."
After hearing what Dan said, the woman and Leonard looked at each other, Leonard wanted to say something but then they heard a voice coming from behind them:
"Shut your mouths there's something coming." turning their heads they saw the glasses wearing young man looking at them with unblinking eyes, his face was pale and he had a horrified look on it.
The woman was going to point the bow at him but Dan used his hand and stopped her while putting a finger on his lip, both her and Leonard understood what he meant and they both kept silent.
Nero had no idea about what was happening, one moment he was standing in front of that thief ready to finish him, and the other he found himself in the air falling down, he tried to stabilize himself but the ground was closer, a fall from that high wouldn't have given him any injuries but unfortunately something hit him, and to make it worse, those two fall on him too so he took most of the power from the hit and fall unconscious.
And he didn't even wake up normally, he had to wake up full of cold sweat.

Like Robin, Nero too had a sense when a crisis or a life and death situation is going to happen, so as he was unconscious he suddenly felt a fear he had only felt from the from captains of the fourth Royal Squad and below, the strongest people alongside Ethan in the fire nation.
So of course he hurriedly opened his eyes, and as he did, his ability activated, he didn't care about this five people around him as he knew that they weren't the ones that his senses reacted to.
So he tried to look further and as he did he felt a huge object circling in the sky, full of cold sweat he shouted at the people next to him to stop talking.
"There's something huge coming our way so just keep quit." he said to the people looking at him.
It was then that he saw the woman holding his bow, feeling unsafe without it he said to her:
"Give me that bow you won't be able to use it."
But he didn't expect the woman to look at the normal looking young man next to her as if awaiting his order, the young man then whispered something to her.
The woman hesitated for a few seconds but then she picked a leaf and pulled the string of the bow, Nero was driven crazy when he saw that:
"What are you doing, don't waste those leaves hurry up and giv..." but his words get stoke in his throat and his eyes almost popped out as he saw that an arrow appeared.
He clearly know that her being able to use the bow can only mean that the bow no longer belong to him and that she is its new owner, but that was impossible as he know that the only way for his bow to change owners is for the old owner to die, but he was still breathing so how could that woman use his bow?
But he didn't have the time to ask as that huge thing was still circling above them.
Just as he was going to ask from them to keep quit again, the young man that whispered to the woman started running outside. It was so sudden for Nero or any of the others react to.
He run outside and soon disappeared around some corner, just as they all thought he ran away and were looking at each other, they saw him return while holding a huge brown something between his hands.
At first they didn't knew what it was but as he got closer and the small got stronger, they all had a promotion in their heart.
"What the...?" Leonard didn't know what to say he just kept on looking at Dan as he ran with that thing.
Dan didn't care about what they thought and under their questioning gazes he ran to where the young man and woman were.
He threw that thing from his arms and started covering them with it, that thing was still somehow moist and had a horrible smell.
After covering them Dan didn't care about what the others thought and he covered himself with what remained:
"It's here stay silent." Nero returned to his since when he felt that the huge thing finally got close.
Dan held Leonard and the woman from their arms and pulled them next to the young man and girl that were still unconscious, seeing that Nero thought of something and he too moved next to them.
To enter the Royal guards he had gone through a lot, and many times he had to spend time on the wildness with monsters everywhere, and he knew that sometimes using monsters droppings to hide his smell could save his life so it didn't take him a lot of time to know what Dan wanted to do, as blood was covering those two, so to hide their smell he did that.
They all set next to the two unconscious, dropping covered pair, but no one dared to move as they heard something flying above their heads, the sound was as if something huge was flipping its wings.
"Boom"
Suddenly a defying sound rung out and the ground shock, making all of their faces turn pale with fright.
Dan and Nero were better off as Nero lived in a world where monster existed, and he even fought many of them. As for Dan having all those memories in his head changed his respective and personality a little.
But for the woman and Leonard that sound and the ground shaking led them to remember what Dan told them, and they looked at each other with pale expressions, then they looked at Dan and Nero, seeing that They had composed calm expressions they calmed down a little.
But looking closely at Dan they saw that he had small drops of sweat on his forehead as he looked outside the window. Nero too was looking outside the window with a grave expression on his face.
They got bad promotion in their hearts, but they still moved closer to the window after exchanging a look between each other.
What the saw after looking outside the window was a huge monster which they never thought they would see in their lives.
The best way to describe the monster was a dragon, a western dragon with huge wings on his back and two horns on his head; the dragon was almost twenty meters tall, and more than forty meters long from head to tail.
Seeing it the woman's face turned even paler and she opened her mouth to scream, fortunately Leonard was next to her and he covered her mouth pulling her backward away from the window.
Nero and Dan also looked at each other and moved away from the window.
Nero's didn't know what to think. He know what he saw, it was a dragon but he also knew that dragons had gone extinct ages ago, and the buildings outside the window, even though they were destroyed and were no more than ruins, he was still able to see that They weren't like anything he saw in any of the other nations, and what the people that were with him in that room were wearing was also weird leading him to wander where he was.
Every time the dragon took a step the ground would shook and dust would start falling from the selling, make the people in the room feel even more pressured.
The woman felt uncomfortable as she found the room too crowded and the air dusty and unclean, alongside the small of the dropping she simply wanted to leave.
But the footsteps outside made her hide her head in Leonard's embrace without even noticing as he was the closest person to her, and Leonard too didn't have the time to think about that as his full attention was on the dragon outside.
