"Did anyone else come with you?" Lemir asked.

Mei stands up and looks at Lemir. Reaching her limit, she needed answers now. "Hey, we appreciate you saving us, but we're not answering any of your questions until we get some answers of our own."

"I don't think you should tell him what to do. He took down a Troll, remember?" Ito whispered to Mei.

"Well, technically, the dragon killed the troll." Hiro said.

"Well, technically, he ordered the Dragon to take down the troll." Sungwoo added.

"Damn it." Hiro whispered to himself.

Mei stares at the three, signaling them to stop talking so intensely that they all froze and stop immediately.

"We're not answering anything until you explain where this is and where those red-eyed hawks took the others?"

Lemir stares at Mei with frightened eyes. "Did you say red-eyed hawks?"

"Yes. Half of us are missing because of those things."

"Did these hawks have this black smoke around them?"

Mei's eyes became big, regaining some of her lost hope. "Yes. Do you know where they are?"

The bear let out an enormous sigh, staring down, already knowing their fate. "I'm afraid your friends are gone."

"What do you mean by gone? We have to find where those hawks took them."

"You guys don't know? You fought them before."

"That wasn't us." Mei screamed. "This world is not ours. Everything around us is familiar. But only because it's the same in our show. But it's all fake. This shouldn't be happening."

"Show? Like a play?"

"Yes. Except a little different." Ito said.

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

They must be them from a different dimension. I feel sorry for them. They look so lost and hopeless. Better give it to them straight.

"I'm sorry about your loss, but Tazul must've mistaken them like I mistaken all of you and taken them to Rathmal.

"Rathmal? But he works for the king?" Ito asked.

"He did. That is, until he betrayed and killed him."

"Well, what if you and the elders work together? You guys can easily rescue the others."

"Unfortunately, that's not an option, since most of them have joined him.”

"They would never do that. In the show they are the most loyal people in the kingdom."

"Well, by the sound of it, it sounds like this play of yours, is vastly differs from our history more than I thought."

"Well, what about -"

Hiro stood up, growing impatient with Ito's optimism. "Will you stop it? Don't you think he would've done something if there was a way to stop them?"

"Well, we have to do something. Otherwise, they're all going to die in that place."

"What are you going to do? You heard him. Most of them joined him. We have no chance." Hiro yelled.

Kenji slowly ran out of patience every time Hiro opened his mouth and spewed out negativity. His anger finally reaches a boiling point and storms before him, holding his shoulder to stop it from swinging. As the two quickly came face to face, Ito became extremely nervous that Kenji would lose control. "Hey, at least he cares about something and wants to help. All you do is look after yourself."

"And what's wrong with that?"

"Why don't you do that, then? Go back to that rock and out of our lives." Kenji yelled, the two staring at each other, both not wanting to be the first to blink.

"Will you two stop? Mei yelled, shocking everybody. "I don't care about who that man killed. What matters is now. There must be a way to stop him. There has to be." Mei said softly, the emotions she's been holding back, now bursting out as tears rush out, feeling utterly helpless.

Chung walks over and hugs Mei, attempting to add any comfort. She didn't need to say a word. She knew Mei only needed a shoulder to cry on. Time slows down as everyone looks at Mei, the weight of the situation finally setting in on everybody.

Lemir glances at her and turns around, desperately wanting to leave and not look back. But as he was about to turn, he felt something holding him back. He takes a quick breath and walks towards Mei. A shadow falls on Chung and Mei as a large furry paw lands on Mei's shoulder. She glances up to see Lemir with her tear-filled eyes, not bothering to wipe them away. "Follow me." Lemir said. He then turns to the cliff and pulls out a wand and flashes a bright light in the air.

Moments later, three more dragons emerge from the forest. Everybody covers their faces to shield themselves from the strong wind and branches that flew past them. The loud whooshing sound filled their ears every time the dragons flapped their massive wings. As the dragons land, an enormous cloud of dirt fills the air and lands on them.

"To save time, we have to fly." Lemir said.
