Ascension

<font color='#00FFFF'>Bring ... Bring down those birds?! whispered Kae nervously.

You want me to do something?

She looked at her wound, then at the smirking Rachel. They are all mad ... Else I am mad ...

Kae stood up, making sure she didn't put too mcuh pressure on her back right leg and walked over to Rachel and the crate with a slight limp, trying to see what was in store for her.</font>

 

<font color='#A4D9EB'>Smirking, Nelson rose to his four legs. "Sure I'm up to it." He thought. But when Rachel mentioned taking down all those birds, he shuddered. They weren't even injured, and they were driven by vengeful rage for the death of their family member. He could only hope Rachel's story wasn't finished yet. He hoped she had a plan to kill them, since that was what she wanted. His idea of a fun day would be another swim in the ocean, not murdering some vicious birds. But he was up to it.</font>

 

<font color='#FFFF00'>Rachel grins as she finds what she was looking for then draws it up out of the crate. In her left paw she holds a vile that contained a bright red liquid. Turns to Kae and lies the vile on the ground. "Here is what I need you to do...but you must do it correctly." Sits down and looks to Nelson out the corner of her eye then back to Kae. "Take this fluid down into the hidden tunnel and to where that beast of the ancient world, Giga lies. Open the vile and throw it out onto to him." Walks over to the hidden exit at the back of the cave then removes the animal skin that covered it. "Once you do that he will wake up...", looks back to Kae then holds the vile out to her.</font>

 

<font color='#A4D9EB'>Nelson looked down at the vial. His questions as to what it contained were soon answered when he learned it contained a red liquid, but Giga? He blinked. "Er,..Giga?!?!?" He raised his eyebrows at Rachel, then at Kae. They both seemed to know about this 'Giga'.</font>

 

<font color='#FFFF00'>Looks over her shoulder at Nelson and nods slowly. "Yes, Giga...he will provide us with help when he is awoken." Places the vile on a chain then places it about Kae's neck and moves aside from the secret exit. "After revive him, you can either come back up here with us, or take your chances out in the sea." Pats Kae on the head then goes back to the cave enterances.</font>

 

<font color='#00FFFF'>- Hmm, once we wake Giga up .. what will happen? will he start attacking anything in sight? if that is the case, are you sure he won't be, hmm... Angry with us for stealing his cave? If this is his cave of course. Why was he put to sleep in the first place? And even if he does finish the Aktrieors off for us, will not come for us after that?

Said Kae nervously s she took the vial with her mouth and placed it in her little satchel.</font>

 

<font color='#FFFF00'>Shakes her head slowly and stops in her tracks as she comes to a stop walking. Looks back over her shoulder at Kae then sighs. "You haven't much to worry about. Giga will be there for us and he won't attempt to attack us afterwards." Nods to Kae then walks over to the cave enterances then peers out of it, up towards the aktrieor, licks her lips a bit and swings her tail back and forth as she keeps watch on them.</font>

 

<font color='#00FFFF'>Kae sighed silently. I guess I should go, then.

See you ... Soon.
And, with htat, she was gone. She walked down the dark, crystal lit passages that led to the great Giga. Sure enough, the red beast was still asleep. Kae gasped at his sight, took a deep breath and took out the vial. Still watching the beast fearfully, she opened the vial and threw it at him. Without so munch as a glance she sped up the narrow passages  but stopped halfway. she had forgotten the skin. What would she do? She ran back to where giga was, hoping for the best. But the beast was still asleep. She ran the cave exit and put the skin away.  She then ran back to where Giga was. His eyes were opening... She didn't care to see anymore so she made her way back to the cave, as fast as she could, panting.
...Done She voiced as she saw her two friends.</font>

 

<font color='#FFFF00'>Upon opening his eyes, Giga begins to move his massive tail about the inside of the cavern and releases his first roar from the years he slept. Rachel smirked as she heard the sound of his roar then the shaking of the mountain. "So, he has awoken...that's good." Laughs as she watches the aktrieor fly up off the mountain top. She casts her cloak onto herself and dashes out of the cave enterances and down the side of the mountain.</font>

 

<font color='#A4D9EB'>Nelson shuddered at the sound of the roar and followed his first instinct, which was to follow Rachel off the mountain. He shivered nervously when he saw the Aktrieor above and could only hope they wouldn't attack him.</font>

 

<font color='#FFFF00'>Upon reaching the base of the mountain she drops her cloak and looks up towards Nelson as he comes down behide her. Looks away from him to the Aktrieor as they begin their run at the two of them. "Heads up, Nelson!" Rachel dashes back up the mountain side a bit then throws her weight into Nelson moving him out of harms way then goes head on with one of the Aktrieor. Jumping up towards it with her claws out stretched. Just as she is about to collide with the Aktrieor, The mountain side gives way and up comes large serpant looking beast, Giga. Extending his gigiantic talons outward then grasping an Aktrieor in it. Reachel gets caught up in his massive body then vainishes as she hit.</font>

 

<font color='#A4D9EB'>Nelson gasped and crawled away from the tumbling rocks hastily, and almost screamed when the huge monster broke through the side of the mountain. Making sure he was at a safe distance from Giga, he hid behind a nearby tree. As he stumbled towards it, he suddenly noticed he couldn't see Rachel anymore. "Rachel!!??" He screamed.</font>

 

<font color='#FFFF00'>Upon rising up from the long sleep Giga extends his large red dragon wings and lifts off from the ground to free the rest of his massive body. Looks up at the last few Aktrieor that flew above him. He opened his mouth in a rage then a large wave of fire comes from his mouth consuming the other Aktrieor. Then roaring aloud with displeaure from waking up suddenly. Brings the dead Aktrieor up with his claws and takes the large bird in a single bite then chews heavily upon it. After finishing off the Aktrieor, Giga turns his attention to Nelson that was hiding behide a tree. Through Giga's eyes he can only see heat that emits from the body. Glares at the small pendragon from his huge head then looks back over towards where his tail was then unwraps it slowly revealing Rachel, unconious. Giga hisses greatly as he leans his head down along side Rachel then smells her with a fork tongue.</font>

 

<font color='#00FFFF'>Come on ! Do something! MOVE ! thought Kae, panicking. She took a deep breath and exited the cave after her friends. They had both reached the ground already, Nelson was behind a tree and Rachel was ... Rachel !!!!! NOOOOOOOO! Screamed Kae mentally. Her friend had just collided with Giga... He looked a lot scarier now that he was awak and, had shee been able to think properly, she would have ran. but Kae was so shocked that, forgetting her fear, and her partially wounded leg, she flew, or rather fell , down to the ground. It was only when she was facing the amazing beast that she recovered her senses. What am I doing?! Giga could see her, or rather, sense her, she knew. She had better do something and quick. - Rachel !!!! RACHEL!!! She screamed, praying for her to awake. Nothing. She looked back at Nelson, as if asking for advice, then looked back at Rachel.</font>

 

<font color='#A4D9EB'>"Oh, my God.." Nelson said out loud, gasping. He retreated from behind the tree cautiously pulled Kae closer to him gently, but briskly, and ran back. He felt like such a coward. Pushing all his tangled strands of royal blue hair back behind his ears, he lifted his second paw to his face and held them both on his forehead in dismay. "What do we do now???" He was just as clueless as Kaelarah was. Think, think, THINK!! He massaged his temples vigorously. The look on his face gave away his stress..He felt completely hopeless and was sure Rachel would end up in Giga's jaws any moment now.</font>

 

<font color='#FFFF00'>Rachel lies limp in the beast tail as he continues to caress his snout against her chest and neck gently. Giga looked back over at the two others as they continue to freakout from his point of view. Looks back to the unconious Rachel and noticed that she was opening her eyes a bit. Giga stops with the nudges and hisses slightly looking down upon Rachel as she looks back up to him. Rachel grins a bit at the sight of Giga then reaches her forepaws up like hands to the beast. Giga leans his snout down to Rachel's forepaws and they touch against his nose. Rachel giggled as he did this then caresses his nose gently against his tough dragon hide. Looks over out the corner of her eye to where he was looking with the massive red eye. "Hey! Nelson, Kae! It's alright...I'm fine!" She called out to them as she looked on towards the tree to see if they would come from behide the tree.</font>

 

<font color='#A4D9EB'>Fear immediately turned into relief as Nelson noticed Giga's friendly reaction with Rachel. Hearing her voice once again, in a reassuring tone, he walked away from the tree and to Giga's feet. He hoped this wouldn't be dangerous. "Well, that's special, Rachel. How did you get to know this guy?"</font>

 

<font color='#FFFF00'>Rachel drops down out of Giga's tail to the ground near Nelson then looks to him. "Well, he has been a friend to my family line for sometime now. Always there to protect us and provide comfort." Giga reaches his head back down beside Rachel and nudges her softly against the back side. She turns and laughs as he does then grabs hold of his face gently in return for his nudge. Giga hisses softly and closes his eyes relaxing.</font>

 

<font color='#0000FF'>Nelson looked shocked. "That's pretty cool. What are we going to do about the gaping hole on the mountain?" He walked to it and examined the way the entire side of the mountain was cracked all the way around. He touched the edge of some broken rock and it crumbled into many small pieces of jagged stone to the ground. He turned and looked at Rachel doubtfully.</font>

 

<font color='#810541'>Stares to the mountain side blankly and an odd feeling comes over her as she looks. Shakes her head slowly and draws her forepaws back from Giga's snout slowly then walks over to where Nelson stood at the large hole. Reached a paw out and touches a bit of the rock causing it to colapse just by her touch. "Well, I really don't know...", continues to stare as she looks to the hole.</font>
