Twisted Fate
Ch. 1
20 years later.....
In that same glade a young elf was practicing her archery. Her hair was like a cascading mound of golden waves, flowing down to the middle of her back. Her eyes were luminously angled ,sea green orbs. She was tall, and every time she aimed her bow, her arrows always found their mark. She was deadly with the sword as well. Earlier, when she had been fifteen she saw a star fall near her glade. When she had investigated she had found a steel unllike any she had seen before. She estimated that if used right the steel could amount to at the least ten swords! She set her weapons down and took out one of her many books, and recited in the ancient language. She spent many of her days in this manner until.......... one day when she was twenty everything changed. Elvara decided to go for a walk amoung the neighboring trees and glades. She ran swiftly through the ever changing sceenery. The deeper into the forest she went the wilder it looked. All the while she was running she brooded over the information she had learned that day. The sacred bond between the riders and dragons was no more except for the perverted bond between Galbatorix and the black dragon Shruikan. Elvara regreted that all the dragons were either extinct or they had fled to some ancient place they knew of. She stopped in a large meadow. Even though she wasn't tired Elvara sat down by a brook.
"Adurna risa!"commanded Elvara.
With that simple statement the water rised and twisted into shapes. Finally, they solidified into crystals that varied in size and shape. She smiled as she picked up each piece and put it in the large pack she had. It could hold all her belongings and more if she wished. Elvara strode farther into the meadow. As she walked she heard a loud crack and snap. Elvara froze and was poised to flee. A knawing curiosity was aroused in her. She turned slowly around and gasped. There was a grown purple dragon that looked like it suffered from some incurable malady and was near death!
"Greetings skulblaka!" exclaimed Elvara.
The dragon opened her eyes. Seeing Elvara ,she struggled to her feet.
"Greetings she-elf."
