Doormaze Drage The Orange World Part Ten
A Journey With Companions
Once they had regained their strength, Doormaze, Coalmine and Burn went to set off. Yet that was when Stephen stood in their way.
“Where are you going?”
“Trying to do something about those fire creatures.”
“Alone?”
“Yes. We don’t have a choice.”
“Are you crazy?”
“I don’t have the time or choice to think about my sanity.”
He nodded but still allarmed.
“Then let me gather all the men that can fight and we will all set off in half an hour. After all, this is a problem for all of us.”
Doormaze widened her eyes.
He’s right.
“So, if any you leave, if you die, then it will be your own fault.”
“We won’t die!”
“Yes you will.”
She nodded.
“Then we will stay here but if you are not here in half an hour, then we will leave.”
“But Door-”
“We will wait. After all, they do have the right to defend their home.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
Coalmine looked at her smiling but her mouth was agape.
“Wow, you’ve grown!”
“Do have you.”
She closed her mouth and smiled, almost shy.
So they stayed there for one quarter of an hour before thirty men came.
“All here?”
“All that wish to fight.”
“They now can we go?”
“Yes.”
Sothey all sert off and all of them took a moment to pack several rucksacks filled with water for each and every one of them. They all had a bag full of dried fish and vegetables. Then all of them spread out the supplies as evenly as they could. Then they all set off as soon as the men kissed their wives and children goodbye.
So Stephen pulled out a map and looked at it. It was in the shape of a large dragon the size of a continent with a volcano under the left wing.
So we’re on the left wing.
“Right, now we are in Condoor. We need to get across to Dalane Forest and there we will get to the Dalane Lake. Here in Centrepoint is where we will find the Centrepoint Volcano. That is where the King Infierno is.”
“Right. And the plan?”
“We need to make that when we get to Dalane Lake. Right now, we need to just get there.”
“Right.”
So they walked on and on. They all made sure that all kept up the pace.
“I don’t know how long it is!”
“I don’t know how long it is!”
“This is as easy as is!”
“This is as easy as is!”
They all sang as they marched to the beat.
“I will fight to my last breath!”
“I will fight to my last breath!”
“I swear on my mother’s death!”
“I swear on my mother’s death!”
What? Why-
Oh!
“I will always hold my own!”
“I will always hold my own!”
“By my strength and bone!”
“By my strength and bone!”
“On the battlefield I will rome!”
“On the battlefield I will rome!”
“Bringing safety to my home!”
“Bringing safety to my home!”
“I will make sure to love my wife!”
“I will make sure to love my wife!”
“I will help her in her strife!”
“I will help her in her strife!”
“I will guard my daughters and sons!”
“I will guard my daughters and sons!”
“And all the rest of my loved ones!”
“And all the rest of my loved ones!”
Yet they repeated this again and again and as time went on Doormaze could not help but think of Kai and Cardmorgue that were both in the clutches of Dark Curse and Dark Destiny. She had just got their help but she had to remind herself that they were her enemies. Shebhad to keep in her head also what they were and what they had done to her father, to her sisters and to her. She could not afford to lose that perspective.
That was the moment she started to sing too. This was a declaration to those evil dragons. A promise to Kai and Coalmine and to Cardmorgue. Yet a warning to Natalie. She was going to save them. She was going to defeat the dragons and she was going to make sure that Dark Curse and Dark Destiny will never ever hurt Coalmine again! She was going to find a way to stop Natalie too. She was going to go back to her uncle and a way to reverse all that they have done to Coalmine and her father. No matter what, she will do it! Even if it kills her.
Fire entered her eyes as they turned a bright orange, which it had for the first time. She knew that this was the colour of the fire in her heart.
