Dragon Riders ( )

Postby Elva on Mon Oct 27, 2008 2:35 pm

A girl stood alone in the village known as Ellar, which was in the middle of a forest hidden among the trees. The girl looked no more then 16-17 but she was an elf and was older then she appeared. She moved quietly as she walked threw the town. Everything was quiet and still, not even the tinest animal sturred. She was among the last of the elves, for the forsworn had tried to wip out them out during the evil kings rule. It was only thanks to the Dragon Riders, that they were able to over throw him. All is peaceful in the land again, or so they say.

The girl walked to a creature that had fell from the sky a few days agao. All the elves in the village had ran into their houses and hasent come out since. The creature had two horns on its head, two rows of razor sharp teeth, four sets of powerful claws, two larger wings, and scales that shown a magnificent emerald color. With a jerk of its head the creature was looking at the girl who dared approach it as it bleed to death. It's claws rapped tighter around an item.

((ooc: '' are for thinkings "" are for speaking out louds))

'Who dares to approach me!' the creature said to the girl letting their minds brush each other

"I am Elva of the woodland elves! I have come to see what is wrong with you brightscales!" Elva said her voice strong even as the creatures anger flooded her

'An Elf!' The creature said and a lower growling sound erupted from its throat as it threw its head back in a laugh 'I have not seen an Elf in over a hundred years! What luck it was of mine to have landed here.'

"What are you brightscales?!" Elva asked

'What am I?! I am a Dragon!' The dragon said and lifted its wings and rawred into the sky

'A dragon?!' Elva thought to herself in astonishment and started speaking again "Brightscales, what happened to have hurt you so?"

'I was attacked by one of my own! That reached hatchling! If I ever get my claws set on him I'll tear him to bits!' the dragon said as a new found anger flooded it 'Unfortunatly I wont be able to.'

"Why not brightscales?" Elva asked couiousely and moved closer

'My wounds are far to seriouse and with my Rider dead no one has the power to heal me. So I lay here, in this small village of yours, dying.' The dragon said and sighed a small burst of flames danced from its nose

Elva was quiet and looked at the ground trying to find a way to help thee dragon, but coming up with none, she to sighs.

"Is there a way I can make your...death mor comfortable for you?" Elva finaly asked

The dragon turn its head toward her. Its emeraled eyes looked at her to see if she was lieing or messing around. Unable to find that Elva was lieing the dragon thought some and finaly came up with something.

'Elf, within my claws, I carry a egg of my kind. It is only one of the four left. My Rider and I was trying to get to ther Vurden so they can find the next Dragon Rider, but unfortunatly, evil has shown itself again and has captured some of my kind. Tied as I might I could not get the egg to the Vurden.' The dragon said

Elva stood there quietly listening to the dragon.

'I shall ask you this girl, for you were brave enough to approach me, will you leave your home and frind the verdan to deliver the egg?' The dragon asked

"I would be honored brightscales!" Elva said and dropped to one knee with her left fist into the ground and her right arm on her knee

The dragon pushed the object cluched in its claws toward her. Its claws unclenched from the object and reveiled the egg. The egg was a the color of the deepest saphire that the dwarfs of Bear Mountains have. Reaching out, Elva grasped the egg, and pulled it to her. The dragon sighed and looked up into the sky where 2 other dragons flew over head.

'They have found me!' The dragon hissed 'Elf, take the egg and run! Your life and the life of the dragon in your arm depends on it!'

"Y-yes!" Elva said stuttering some

'Before you go though here take my heart of hearts! Protect it and let it help you reach your goal!' The dragon said as something greed slide down its toung

Elva grabbed the dragon's heart of hearts and she was suddenly over whelmed with knowlege she's never seen. Shaking her head she ran all the way back to her house as the dragon forced itself up and jumped into the sky to try to give Elva a head start.

Running into her house, Elva ran into her room and grabed a bag made from leather. She put the egg in the bag and then put the dragon's heart of hearts in a leather sack, tieing down the strings. She slipped the sack in the bag and ran into the kitchen and put some food into the bag as well. Then she sliped out of the back door and into the woods as the emerald dragon fell from the sky again with the other two dragons on top snapping, and ripping at it.

Elva kept running, never stopping even as she saw the fire where her village was at. She cried softly, but whipping away her tears, she continued on her way. She finally had to stop to eat and drink having ran for 3 days and 2 nights streight. She sat under a tree by a lake and stared eating some bread she had backed. The egg laid behind her glitering in the moonlight. She looked at it and started talking to it.

"So, you are what is causing all the chaos" Elva said taking bite of bread "Wonder who you will hatch for."

Of course the egg didnt answer directly, but it jerked to the side some.

"Hm?" Elva asked looking at it "Did i just see you move?"

The egg jerked again and a crack appeared on it. Alarmed Elva stood up, her bread falling from her lap.

"I broke it! Oh no!" Elva said panaked as the egg split more

Elva stared in horror as the egg finally shattered around her. Where the egg once sat, lay a baby dragon on its back. The baby dragon looked up at her and rolled to its side and gave a squeak. Startled Elva just kept looking at it. The baby dragons blue scales where just a deep as the eggs color was. It stumbled around trying to find its legs. After a while it finaly found them and loked up to Elva again.

Elva had finally came out of shocked and bent down toward the baby dragon, holding her hand out some for it.

"My arn't you cute little brightscales, but you hatched for the wrong person." Elva said softly as the baby dragon sniffed her hand

When the baby dragon put its head in her hand to be petted, Elva felt pain engulf her.It was pain like she never felt before and her vissiouns blured until she blacked out.

SEVERAL HOURS LATER

Elva finaly woke up several hours. The pain in her hand was gone and she lifted her hand up to look at it. On her palm was a silver mark. She felt the baby dragon on her chest and she looked at it the best she could. The baby dragon lifted it head and looked at her opening its wings some.

"What did you do little brightscales?" Elva asked as the baby dragon hopped off of her and she sat up

The baby dragon pushed its head into her hand to be scratched. Elva gently scratched the baby dragon and she listened to it give off a small humming sound.

"Are you hungry?" Alva asked

The baby dragon's saphire eyes looked at her and the dragon nodded its head some. Standing she looked around, not having brought any meat with her. she found a small hole of mice. Whispering the ancient language, the mice started filing out one by one. The baby dragon pounced on them and started to eat them. After it was done it yawned and Elva picked the baby dragon up. She picked up her back and started running again seaching for the vurdan.

2 MONTHS LATER

The baby dragon was no longer a baby. It was now the size of a house, its wingspan even larger. Elva was running along side of a river smiling as she looked up into the sky. She opened her mind to the creatures around her.

'SAPHIRA!!' Elva shouted with her mind

Elva had named the baby dragon after Eragons Saphira in honoring of the tells of her. Both Saphira and Elva had became irrasepable ever since Saphira hatched. Elva still searches for the Vurdan to tell them what had happened.

'Elva!!' Saphira said as she dives out of the sky

Elva stopped and loked up smiling as Saphira pulled in her wings slowing her decent. Saphira landed and caused the ground to shake and Elva to laugh softly.

'How was the hunt?' elva asked

'It was well!' Saphira said pleased as she nuzzled Elva in the chest

Laughin, Elva put her forehead to Saphira's snout and scratched her softly.

'Elva...are theres others like us?' Saphira asked 'Others who are good I mean.'

'I dont know Saphira. I dont know' Elva said softly

(( Is it a coincidence that I happened to watch Eragon yesterday, and stay up all night, and then a Dragon Rider RP comes into existence? Anyways, count me in! I was going to make one myself, but this saves me the trouble.. haha. Mind if I join in? ))

Taeryn had found the golden egg when he sensed a strange feeling while taking his daily stroll through the forest. He was astonished, and at first he was cautious, in case of a mother... but as he waited for several hours he found no such parent. He walked up to it and went to lift the brilliant egg off the ground, but as he did, it cracked. The creature inside began to hatch and a strange winged reptilian creature came to life. That was six weeks ago, and the golden dragon now had a wing span of fifteen feet, and kept growing larger everyday.
'Taeryn, you really need to be more careful,' spoke the Dragon telepathically, displaying concern for Taeryn's well-being.
"Yes, I know Thunder. You've told me countless times," he replied with an annoyed look as he unsheathed his long sword. He turned to the man a few yards ahead of him and began to spar, training to become a more efficient rider. Taeryn's brown hair danced in the wind as he fought and he wore simple clothing as he wasn't a true rider yet, and Thunder himself wasn't fully grown...

Elva and Saphira have been on their own. Searching for the Vurdan but having no luck as of yet. They were flying, trying to get the hang of it. They landed in the are of the other rider not aware of them.

'Ow Saphira!' Elva thought rubbing her head

'Sorry i havent never flew with you before. We need more training.' Saphira answered as she gathered her feet under her

They suddenly turn around and see the golden dragon and the boy. They blink a few times not sure if this was real or not.

Taeryn held his sword steady and lunged at the man, who seemed to deflect the brilliant blade effortlessly.
"You're holding back Taeryn! You're too predictable. Switch it up, change your stance, sword grip. Keep your opponent guessing," the trainer explained. "If I was a real threat, you'd be dead. And so would Thunder."
Taeryn narrowed his eyes and glanced a cold stare at the trainer. He flipped the blade in his hand, and switched it to an under-hand grip. He lunged forward, but pivoted at the last second, opposite his sword hand. His sword followed pursuit, but sparks flew as swords connected. Taeryn quickly retracted his blade, and in the same movement as his two step spin, he switched the sword yet again, but to a frontal grip. He lunged at the trainer, aiming a thrust with great speed. The trainer had to pivot and deflect the attack, or so he had thought, for Taeryn had stopped the attack, and switched on the fly to a reverse grip. Taeryn pivoted with the trainer, and with a quick snap of his leg he had knocked the trainer's weapon arm out of position and he went in for the fatal blow... Taeryn stopped the blade short of the man's neck, and smiled. He quickly retracted the blade, sheathed it, and courteously bowed. The trainer smiled, chuckled and returned the respectful bow.
"Impressive," spoke the man as he played it over in his mind.
'That was a brilliant idea, Taeryn,' thought Thunder in Taeryn's mind.
"Thank you Kane, and thank you Thunder," he smiled as he thanked them kindly. He heard some ruckus in the distance and he took a look... it was a deep blue dragon and her rider.

'Saphira...do you think their a threat?' Elva asked her grip on her bow end tightening

'They seem not to be...but they have trainer.' Saphira said softly nodding her head to the old man

'Maybe we should ask to join them' Elva said and slide of the saddle on Saphira

Elva took a few cautiouse stepps toward the 3. Every muscel in her body was tense in case they seemed hostile and attacked them.

"I am sorry to intrude...I am Elva, daughter of none, and this is my dragon, Saphira." Elva said "We were flying..."

'Or trying to fly...' Saphira interupted

"And we kinda landed here on accedent." Elva continue "Can you help us out?"

Taeryn smiled as the elf explained their situation... Thunder was a quick learner, but he was still young, and thus unable to support the weight of his rider.
"I am Taeryn, and this is Thunder... we would love to help, but we can't fly yet either," he explained as he glanced at the gold dragon.
'<i>Indeed. I cannot support Taeryn</i>,' admits Thunder, letting out a small sigh. Taeryn sets his hand on Thunder and smiles.
"We'll be able to eventually," Taeryn comforts with a soft voice. "This is Kane, he is my trainer." Kane bows courteously, and smiles at the two.
"I may be able to help with your riding skills Elva," Kane spoke, a warming smile stretched across his old, war torn face.

Elva smiles and Saphira shifts some with anticipation.

"We would love that, if you'd be willing to!" Alva said "It's hard trying to do everything on your own with only a dragon heart of hearts to help you"

'Unfortunately it is' Elva said nodding her head some 'And we have been own our own since the attack.'

Elva is silent remembering the past two months. Their travels, battles, barley getting out alive, and alot of other things. Shaking her head her eyes clear as she comes out from the pool of memories.

"Sorry, I finally settled down years ago in a small woodland village, then a brightscales fell from the sky and i took on responsobillity for getting the egg to ther verden...only" Elva said and jestered to Saphira "you see my predicament now."

'Yes well, you are my rider and i have been waiting to hatch for you alone.' Saphira defended herself
