So, Aeo is my dwarf alt on WOW, Larnog is mine and Mimring's personality is mine (The name I am pretty sure is in the book, I looked but could not find it, so I am putting disclaimer in.)
Chapter 4: What is a Rider?
"Good evening my darlings," the strange dam said. She had long black hair, and sky blue eyes, with a typical dwarf build: meaning, short and muscular with a hint of plumpness. "King Orik sent a message that you were here, so I decided to close up early so I could help your father get started on dinner. Who are these fine gentlemen?"
"Mama the dwarves are Thorin, and his nephews Fili and Kili. The elves are Thranduil and his son Legolas." Shrrg said "Guys, this is our mother, Aeo."
"Do you folks have somewhere to stay?" Aeo asked.
"They are going to stay with us for tonight Mama, Shrrg and I will find them other housing tomorrow." Urz said.
"As long as it causes no inconvenience for your family Lady Aeo." Thorin firmly stated.
"Oh, my! I'm no lady, please, just call me Aeo." She requested, slightly flustered. "And no, it is no trouble, my husband and I would enjoy the company, being outside the mountain we don't get many visitors."
As the group, Aeo included, made their way through the city the twins stopped in front of a lavishly decorated room, Aeo went ahead to help her husband with dinner, when the twins came out they were carrying two large polished stones, one was a deep emerald color and the other was a beautiful shade of sapphire.
"The period for the Choosing is up, so these are going to go to the humans next to see if they hatch." Shrrg said, her arms full of the emerald stone, which apparently wasn't a stone.
"What do you mean, hatch?" Kili asked curiously.
"Those are not stones are they? What are they that would need to be hatched?" Thorin asked with a dangerous tone to his voice.
"They are dragon eggs, these ones are to be bonded with Riders, and join the rest of us once they and their riders finish basic training and the hatchlings are large enough to fly to our base in the east." Urz said easily.
"Dragons!" the M-E's gasped,
"What are you thinking associating with those vicious creatures?" Thranduil asked shocked that these dwarves, who he had previously thought to be the sanest dwarves he had ever met, would willingly be near one of the most evil creatures he had ever encountered.
The twins winced in unison, and said "You really shouldn't have said that." A moment later the group heard a deep booming noise rumbling through the air, within seconds the M-E's could see the two very large dragons making the noise. The first and bigger of the two, looked to be made of solid gold. The second and slightly smaller dragon was pure silver in color. When the dragons were close enough to the group to freak the M-E's out, they landed and the twins fearlessly walked up to them and laid their hands on the dragons' snouts.
"This is Mimring" Urz introduced the silver dragon.
"And this is Larnog" Shrrg said introducing the gold dragon.
The M-E's heard a female voice in their heads, Hello! It is nice to meet you, I'm Mimring, Urzhnein's dragon partner. A beat later it was replaced with a deeper male voice, Hello, I'm Larnog, Shrrgnein's dragon partner.
After the dragons had introduced themselves, the M-E's were still extremely apprehensive about being so close to them. The twins walked up to them and asked if they would like to hold the eggs, Thorin and Thranduil declined vehemently, Fili also declined after a few seconds, but Kili and Legolas both said that they would like to hold an egg. Shrrg handed the green egg she was holding to Legolas, while Urz handed the blue egg to Kili. They then turned to walk back over to the adult dragons.
After about ten minutes later when everyone was ready to continue on to Aeo and her husband's house, the eggs that Kili and Legolas were still holding started shaking and squeaking, with a loud crack the emerald egg opened to reveal a small dragon hatchling of the same emerald shade as the egg. A moment later the blue egg yielded the same result with a hatchling the color of the deepest sapphire. The twins were visibly ecstatic while the M-E's apprehensiveness had returned tenfold.
"Hold your hand out to them." Urz instructed giddily.
"Prepare yourself for a shock." Shrrg said a moment later.
Kili and Legolas did what the twins told them while their kin looked on nervously. When they made contact with the hatchlings, both of them seemed to just collapse, Thorin and Thranduil jumped forward to catch them and laid them down on the ground. The hatchlings, much to Thorin and Thranduil's dismay, curled up on Kili and Legolas' chests and fell asleep.
Ok, sorry it took so long to post this chapter, my grandma's health is not good right now so I have been taking care of her, she is not showing any signs of improving, so updates might continue to be a little slow.
