Hold on Cyril, we're almost down!
Hurry, I don't know how much longer I can hold off the bleeding Aurora!
The female dragon looked back at the injured teen on her back and picked up speed as they plummeted towards the ground. She saw lights below and changed course to land near them. The blue dragoness wasn't able to pull up in time and roared as she slammed into the ground near the tents that made up the Varden camp. The loud noise awoke several men and they rushed to awake their general.
"General Shadeslayer, we need help!" One of the soldiers cried. "Some sort of creature has crash landed just south of here."
Eragon sat up quickly and woke his dragon with his mind. He rushed off and awoke Arya then ran south to see what had caused the commotion. To his greatest surprise he saw a large blue dragon about the size of Saphira lying down on the hard earth in front of him. He could tell it was injured and called for healers soon after seeing it. The teen ran around to the other side of the dragon to find a boy who looked to be in his middle teens crouched down and holding his arm.
Saphira I need you to carry him back to the tents. He requires medical attention.
Yes little one. His dragon responded as she picked up the boy gently and flew back over the tents.
The next morning
Aurora awoke early the next morning to find Saphira standing over her. She rolled over and bared her teeth. She growled and crouched very low to the ground.
I won't hurt you, my name is-
Where is he!
Who?
Cyril!
The boy that was with you, he's over in that tent over there. Saphira said as she pointed her snout towards one of the nearby tents. Aurora turned and ran towards the tent Saphira had pointed at. She burst through the tent opening and saw Cyril sitting on a bed with Eragon and Arya watching him. Aurora roared and charged at the two. Eragon and Arya were barely able to avoid her as she lunged at them.
Cyril!
Aurora!
What have they done to you?
Nothing, they just kept asking me questions and trying to get me to drink something. I didn't answer or drink it.
Good boy.
Arya walked over to the dragon and rested a hand on her. Aurora lurched away and stood protectively in front of Cyril. She growled and grabbed Cyril in one of her claws. She turned and prepared to launch into the sky but Arya hit her with a spell first. Aurora fell limp and soon after, into a deep sleep.
"Looks like we've got our work cut out for us." Arya said as he approached the dragon.
"Aye." Eragon replied as he looked down on the sleeping dragon.

I know this chapter was short but further chapters will be longer. I need reviews if you wish me to continue. If I don't get reviews, I'll leave it at this and won't update. Tell me what you think!
