As the sun hides away in the light gray clouds, down below lies a light baby blue Phaya Naga Sisu. As the naga stretches her slender body out and unfolds her tail, slithering her way out of the cave looking at the sky as the gray clouds get darker.
Sisu's POV: I has been a while (...) alone after the events of the Druun attack last year I it's been so hard to keep track on what to do with myself now. My brothers and sister's have moved to a new home in a new forest cave far from Heart's location.
And now I've forever been alone. Sometimes they say it for the best to move on (....) *scoffs* stupid people will never understand. That whole battle took enough on me and it wasn’t enough to bring back my sisters and brothers especially Pengu, *tries not to tear up* I-I *Sisu begins to choke on her tears as she tries to stop herself from breaking into tears* DAMMIT!
(Normal voice) Oh Pengu I miss you. Jagan, Pranee and Amba I miss you guys just as much. I just don’t know what to do. I wish I could've done more or-or just- GRRRR! *Slashes a tree with her metal tail* WHY CAN’T I JUST SEE YOU AGAIN!? STUPID DRUUN! YOU TOOK MY FAMILY AWAY, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THAT!
*Sisu begins hallucinating all the events that had happened such as the Datu siblings getting turned into stone as Sisu calls out for them, Sisu coming face to face with a Druun and nearly getting killed, and getting shot in the chest with an arrow all while she shrieks in pain*
Ah! *Sisu backs up in shock and looks around for a bit before slumping in the ground and curls up. Looking at the sky again as it begins to rain. Staring wistfully away at the muddy puddle in front of her as a tear runs down her eye.* I would do anything to see you again.
Pengu : Maybe you will. *Sisu sees a hallucination of her older brother leaning over her, in shock and amazement Sisu slithers her way to him*
Sisu : What? Wha- Pengu? Is that really you?
Pengu : Well, all of me is not really there but it is (Touches Sisu’s heart) in here. *The two dragons share a smile with each other as Pengu frowns* Sis, you need to stop worrying so much about yourself, the more you worry the more your mental state will darken and the more it darkens the more you will succumb with guilt which will not only hurt you (...) but others as well.
Sisu : I know, I know but I just want to see you again and Jagan and Pranee and- *sigh* I don’t know what to do. There’s more Drunnn out there but - I just don’t know why I can fight it. I-It’s like something is stopping me to fight back and I don’t know what it is.
Pengu : Isn't it obvious Sisu?
Sisu : What?
Pengu : It's you.
Sisu : What? I don’t understand.
Pengu : Sis, it’s you. You are refusing to fight back because you are weakened by the past and you need to push it aside so you can step into battle.
Sisu : Battle?
Pengu : Battle of your mind, you need to just, you know chill out.
Sisu : I CAN’T, If I can’t *ponders* ugh.
Pengu: Sis, I understand how you feel but you need to know this. A rat can’t escape a dragon’s claw but a dragon can escape the darkness if you follow the light ahead and you must remember that.
Sisu : But after all that the battle between the Druun and us was just pointless to me.
Pengu : And why is that?
Sisu : because it wasn’t enough to bring you back and the others and it’s so unfair!
Pengu : Well, then…maybe the others will agree. Guys?
*The rest of Sisu's siblings appear right in front of their Sister whose eyes widen surprised*
Sisu : Jagan, Amba and Pranee? You all are here
Pranee : Oh yes, we were always here.
Amba : We never left you sister.
Jagan : We were here, the whole time. Until we all got turned into stone so technically we kind of are here but only you can see us but it’s all in your head or whatever.
Pengu : Thanks Jagan, So you see, we were always here with you, we’d never leave you in this state. I understand that you are afraid to battle your fears and I see that you are struggling to trust others but you need to do what's right or else the worse will come. You need to just ask for help. There are still more Druun hiding out there in the world, so you have to ask Raya for help.
Voice: Hey!
Sisu : Huh?
*A white female Phaya naga glides down towards Sisu clearly in a rush as she hands Sisu a glowing amulet*
Sisu : Wait, who are you?
Solana : The name’s Solana but I really can’t talk too much. A girl in a red robe asked me to hand this to you, just smash it and something will happen. But I wouldn't be standing here, there are a lot of Druun looming around in this forest but luckily I was able to out maneuver them so I can give this to you. See ya.
*The white naga flies off. Sisu looks at the amulet with confusion as Pengu reappears next to Sisu*
Pengu : You know you too, smash it, see what’s waiting for you.
*Sisu looks at her siblings who all nod in unison, Sisu smile lightly and smashes the amulet as a blue glow emerges and a faint, familiar voice is heard*
Raya : Sisu? Sisu? If you get or hear this we need your help immediately. There are Druun all over heart, we ne- *cuts* HELP! Just meet me near the entrance of Heart and I’ll- *Cut off*
Sisu : No, Raya?
Pengu : Sisu, I think this looks like a job for you.
Sisu : You're right. Thank you Pengu, I will try my best.
Pengu : Do the best you can be. You got this. We are all here so you Sisu. (fades away) You got this, you got this.
*Sisu smiles with determination as the title appears, Raya And The Last Dragon: The Dragon Empire*
