CHAPTER 19: THE IF THERE IS NO

RYU, has been invaded by feelings of guilt, sadness, despair and helplessness... he hugs PANDORA by squeezing it a little harder. She's in pain, but she doesn't complain.

The young dragon descends to the ground, upon reaching it, its forces fail, falling to its knees on the ground. With your head down.

He feels guilty of the death of his mother and younger siblings, in any way, if he had helped them.

Tears come out of the young man's eyes with his eyes ajar.

PANDORA stares him in the eye.

He doesn't look back at her.

PANDORA looks at him sadly, his skin blushs a lot, partly because of the pressure of hugging, partly because of RYU's tears.

Quietly, PANDORA asks for forgiveness.

He doesn't react, as if he hadn't heard it. Pandora's silent cry, embraced to him. It makes him react.

By loosening the pressure on her body, she has realized that she has hurt her without being aware of it.

And not just bodily.

She cries very short and with her eyes closed, asks her to forgive her.

If I hadn't looked for her... his family wouldn't have died.

At that moment, RYU feels that he lacks the strength and releases PANDORA who slips a little from the dragon's body.

Finally, he leans on one of his knees.

She comes down slowly.

When they turn around, they realize that their brothers: DRAKE, FAE and NARVAL, have gone with each other, there is too much destruction around them and there is so much work to be done, they all work trying to help others.

His father is still there, in front of them, without losing detail of the interaction between the two.

They must certainly have been seen many times, so with the naked eye you can see that they have a bond that binds them, despite being of different species.

The king loves to see his son so emotionally affected, he gets a little closer, even his son, in a serious tone, tells his son that, he would not have existed.

There's no point in continuing to go around the matter and think about what happened and what would have happened if I'd done something different.

Besides, nothing guarantees that anything would have changed, or maybe he would have perished, too.

The king, trying to swallow saliva to keep talking.

He declares that, much to his regret, he followed the rules.

Like DWYER and HAFU, who were questioned, even knowing the obvious answer.

The duty of the protectors is to help the weakest.

He did his duty.

Now you'll have to take care of the life you saved.

His father takes the flight, to the aid of others.

Young RYU, look at PANDORA and she looks at him.

RYU, notice how confused PANDORA is.

She doesn't know what to do right now.

She looks at RYU so devastated by that loss, sees, how the young man, for a moment, is attacked by crying, PANDORA approaches him, slowly.

RYU is looking for his hands.

She hesitates at first, wraps the young man's face in a hug.

After a moment, it is said that, there will be time to cry.

The young man, asks PANDORA to wait for him, he will leave her in that place, she holds him holding on to his neck, a little desperate, asks him to go too.

RYU, noticing PANDORA's desperation, offers her arm for her to go up behind her back.

RYU, rises through the air, the ground is bleak.

Not far from there, he sees a group of people and soldiers from the castle, each helping to move some rocks from which, underneath are bodies.

The young prince comes down to help.

PANDORA, is small compared to them, but, hopes to help the wounded, bringing them water and with their hands bandaged in cloth, to be able to help the wounded.

RYU, along with the others, move very large rocks, to free some of them.

To be able to save them.

His father has dispersed those in a position to help different parts of the kingdom.

A news story arrives in DRAKO, his three daughters have been found: AMPHIPTERE, RONG, however, only the little TYPHOON survived.

She was somehow protected with the body of her sisters under the rocks, is wounded, but, alive.

The king is born a courage difficult to control, he clenches his fists, powerless.

Throw a mighty roar into nothingness. He feels hurt.

He's lost a lot.

And the worst, no doubt, will be a blow to your children when they find out.

Away from there.

On the outskirts of the large area is DWYER, who has managed to get out of the caverns barely alive, as there were also replicas, although less powerful by the rejection of the stone.

The king orders the body of the dead to be recovered, in his mind he only wishes that his friend DWYER could have survived.

After a few hours of hard work, many of them seriously injured, not everyone manages to survive.

There were great losses in the whole kingdom.

They haven't had time to rest.

When you end up in one area you go to the next.

Don't settle for that, many of the wounded have perished.

The nearest volcano has entered into activity, causing some minor earthquakes and chimneys have opened in much of the kingdom, from which toxic gases and sweltering heat emerge.

Outside the terribly wounded DWYER caverns, he is surrounded by shadows that fly over the cavern from which he has come out, have bright eyes like lights in the dark, his squeals hurt his ears, those beings speak to him in his annoying voice almost in unonuming, tell him that he, brings a power, a treasure of the king without a doubt... they know... this makes DWYER want to run away from them into the cavern.

The voice of being tells him to stop.

They want revenge.

This catches the councilman's attention.
