Snippet #1363281

I held the bread, meat, and water in my hand tightly as I walked to where Caelus, and the girl, Leora was. I glared at the wet, cold ground as I took long, graceful steps. I was finally free from the dragon...but instead...this girl was put in my place. Well, I wasn't completely free. I still have to keep Caelus and the girl from escaping...so my job isn't done. I have no choice though. I would rather do this job than die. I stopped when I saw Leora with Caelus. I sighed and muttered,"Sorry for being late. I have brought food." I went up to the girl and handed her the bread and water. Then I turned around and began to walk away. However, I stopped, turned around, and said,"I will be guarding from outside. If you need me, then come find me." I continued walking, clutching my staff tightly in my hand.

Drip, drop. Drip, drop. The water sounds are engraved in my mind. 'How long...how long have I been in here?' I wondered to myself. Every turn, every entrance...I've memorized all of it. This cave gave me horrible memories. The memories of people dying. The bloodshed. I clutched my staff more tightly. My aqua eyes brimmed with tears. I will never escape this place, and I knew it. The tears fell down my white mask, and quickly wiped it away. I haven't shown my emotions in many years. I stood outside of the cave's entrance, and formed a seal to keep anything or anyone from coming in. I stood in front of it. If anyone were to get to Caelus, they will have to go through me.
