Dream Dragons Chapt 2
I stand there in front of Galbatorix waiting for a response.
"Very well Jade, you will be serving me in my private quarters, follow me I'll show you our borders."
I follow Galbatorix and listen intently.
"There is where you will live, close to me so I can call upon you whenever I wish. You can roam around anywhere, except the west wing on the fourth floor."
"What's on the fourth floor?" I ask, he cuts me off sharply.
"It's forbidden!" He bellows.
He shows me the rest of his castle and then sends me to do my chores. I am to prepare all his meals, pick out his clothes each morning and do anything else that he wishes I do.
I keep this up for a couple weeks, hard, tired labor, I miss my home, my friends and my family. Will I ever see them again? I did not know, what I once knew I didn't anymore all hope is lost.
I go to sleep one night after a long day I have the strangest dream, its so real I feel like I'm actually there. A guy is roaming through the woods, he's very handsome. Dark hair, tall, strong and he has piercing, icy-blue eyes. He carries a bow and a sword and is riding a beautful white stallion, its starts raining, I feel it on my face...my dream fades and I am woken up by the guards? No it can't be, who is this person? He bears a sword and quickly tells me to get dressed, I can't see his face, its covered by a dark cloak. He takes me by the hand and leads me down the dark stairwell and through a secret corridor where his horse waits for him. We mount his horse and ride off, another journey. Is he my saviour? I thought I don't care he must be for saving me from this awful place. The gentle pounding of the horse's hooves puts me to sleep, I feel like I could sleep for eternity.
I'm warm, wrapped in a protective blanket, In the air I smell fire and I sit up to find the mysterious boy man from my dream.
"Who are you I ask?"
"The name is Murtagh, and how are you feeling, Jade?"
I pause, "You know my name." But how can this be I thought to myself.
"I do, I know a lot more than that, but first we must keep moving, there is your horse, her name is Amalyia. Hurry and get on, we can talk as we ride, you do know how to ride, right?"
"Of course." I remember know, eight years of equestrian training will certainly come in handy.
"Good, then lets ride, just don't pull on her mouth, she hates that."
"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. So how did you know who I was?"
"We have been waiting for you, your the missing link..."
Missing link to what, my mind was racing.
"To the phrophecy...no one ever told you."
"Told me what?"
"There has been a phrophecy in Alagaesia for many many years about a young girl who will come to the riders' aid, and help bring into the world a new era of riders."
"Could you be a little more specific, please. I'm afraid I don't understand"
"I'm sorry miss, but I can't, but I promise you will know in due time."
We ride all day and into the night and I fall asleep on Amalyia's neck, and I softly hear a whisper.
"Good night precious one."
