More Dreaming of a Time Yet to Come
********************That Night***********************
In the dream, I flew away from the great battle, flanked by a number of capable fliers. However, my body was moving completely on its own, and I could feel other feelings such as sadness inside, yet they were not my feelings. It was as if I was visiting someone else's body.
Our group sped across the skies, turning our backs on that scene in hopes of preparing for it again. Yet, the feeling of doubt was ever present.
Finally, when a high-pitched girlish shriek rang out through the air(most likely a noble who had chipped his hoof, but you can never be too careful), I snapped. Though it wasn't me saying it, I could hear myself talk and could feel the rage inside.
"That's it! I can't take this anymore! Electron, you're the fastest flier among us. Go tell all the others. Everyone else..."
Everyone hovered. Some radiated anger and rage, others sadness, there was one who was extremely calm.
"We fight."
The thunderbird sped off quite literally like lightning, leaving a blue and purple jagged trail. All the others turned around and headed back towards the battlefield.
"Why are you doing this, Truenis?" asked Thunderhilt. "You have no debts to pay off, no binding contract, you even had a better plan."
"Shut it." replied the other me. "We both know that neither you nor I are concerned about debts. We help because we can. And besides, Electron's got Plan A covered."
"*sigh* And Electron is going to tap out morse code with his beak to tell what's happening? He can only truly talk to you and me, and even then it's squawky. To any other person, he's just talking bird."
"...Thunderhilt, why do you always wait until the worst moments to say something reasonable?"
"The most amusing thing to me is exasperating you. Plus, I work better under pressure."
Our debate ended, I took the lead in the flying formation. We were very close to the battlefield.
"Okay, I want teams of two. Everybody find a partner to watch your back and watch his. Except for Soria, because she's a NINJA!" I directed. "We hit 'em hard, we hit 'em quick, we hit 'em NOW!"
We all grouped together into pairs(except for Soria. Seriously, NINJA!) and dived down into the fray.
And the battle was instantly weirder.
