A Blue Thorn
chapter two
(LOL! FINALLY!)
Saphira hit Shruikan with her tail.
"OUCH! What was that for!?!?" He asked.
"I think you know." She growled.
"No I don't!"
"Yes you do!"
"Do!"
"Don't!"
"Do!"
"Don't!"
"Shut up!" Thorn roared at them.
"What are they arguing over now..." Arya asked rubbing her temples.
"Shriukan called you a pregger and Saphira is beating him up." Thorn groaned. " Now I've got a head-" Thorn stopped abruptly, looking into the sky. Shruikan turned his massive head to the sky. Saphira did the same, a protective growl coming from deep within her chest as she covered her egg with her wing.
"It can't be..." Shruikan whispered, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Can't be what?" Arya asked, squinting in the light. " All I see is a cloud shaped like....a dragon....." Arya let the last word fall from her mouth like a stone. She turned to Eragon, his eyes had a faraway expression in them. The expression he got when Glaedr contacted him from his heart of hearts.
"Is that.... it can't be.... a wild dragon...." Murtagh said in awe.
"Not just any wild dragon either, it's a female... with a nest..." Eragon said, the faraway look lingering faintly his eyes.
"A nest?! That means..." Arya couldn't finish her sentence.
"She has no ill intentions." Shruikan said. "She wants to see us. She's not guarding her mind from us."
"She's.... She's silver..." Murtagh observed as the wild dragon landed on the other end of the clearing, folding her large wings neatly behind her.
"She's cute..." Shruikan thought to Thorn privately as the wild dragon approached, her silver scales shining like the highest quality silver in the sun. No Shruikan, think clean thoughts, clean thoughts... Ohh... Ohh! YEAH! I LIKE THAT IDEA, wait... AHH! Clean thoughts! NO BREEDING WITH THE HOT NEW DRAGON!! AAAHHH!! Stupid instinct!! Shruikan bowed his head in respect and embarrassment, why couldn't he think clean, non-reproductive thoughts...
"No, she's better than cute Shruikan! She is hot!" Thorn said, forgetting to keep the thought between him and Shruikan, who was on the verge of flying away in shame of his thoughts.
"What did you just say?!?!" Saphira growled at him.
"Thorn, how about you don't think stuff like that..." Murtagh said, "or else Saphira's going to kill you." he added.
"Sorry Love." Thorn said apologetically. Saphira spat sparks at him.
"Saphira, you talk to her." Eragon said, " I think it's better she meets you first."
"Fine..." Saphira thought "Wimp." She turned to the wild dragon, who spoke first.
"I am Ch'zara. You are in my territory. " The silver dragon said, dipping her head. "And you are?" she asked Saphira.
"I'm Saphira. I didn't know that this was-" Saphira was cut off by Ch'zara.
"It's fine. I'm fine if you choose to nest in my territory." she said, indicating the egg beneath Saphira's wing.
"Thank you." Saphira rumbled. Ch'zara looked over at Thorn
"Umm... not to pry but what's with the red one? Is he... mentally imbalanced?" Ch'zara asked Saphira privately, nodding at Thorn, who was fascinated by a large butterfly flying in front of him.
Saphira broke out laughing when she saw Thorn."That would be my mate, Thorn. He's just immature."
"What are you two laughing about?" Thorn asked, Crossing his eyes to look at the butterfly, which had by now landed on his broad snout. It Fluttered its wings and it tickled Thorn, who sneezed, frying the butterfly. "No! MR FLUFFY!!!" He wailed jokingly.
"I see....ah.... all males are the same it seems.... all game, no brain." Ch'zara lauged to Saphira and Arya.
"You're telling me..." Arya grumbled.
"I must find my mate, he's a bit-" A thunderous roar cut her off, "territorial...." Ch'zara turned her head to the sky and roared back, "Shut up Thyrone! We have guests! and one of them is a Nester!"
"But I smell other males! ARE YOU HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH OUTSIDERS!?!"
"Excuse me for one second, blue one." Ch'zara said, a silent understanding passed between the two dragonesses." THYRONE!!!!!!SHUT UP AND GET YOUR SCRAWNY TAIL OVER HERE RIGHT NOW MISTER! OR I WILL PERSONALLY CLOBBER YOU!!! AGAIN!"
"Man... I thought a hormonal Saphira was bad...." Eragon thought to Shruikan, who just nodded. Shruikan had had to endure Saphira and her hormones too.
"Poor sucker.... doesn't know that wives will beat the crap out of men who don't listen..."Murtagh said. " I learned that on my honeymoon." he added with a groan.
Reveiw, comment, enjoy!
