Galbatorix opened his eyes to the glaring light of the desert sun, his scales cracking as he stood, bloody sand clinging to his chest. He had survived, but just barely. He looked to the great sandstone monument, noticing that the humans were gone and Sverdar was sticking out of the top of the spire. He spread his wings, flapping wearily up to the sword and yanking it out of the stone with his teeth.
Oh gods…I thought you were dead.
I'm not that easy to kill, remember? Galbatorix laughed. I have survived worse than a little napalm bath, haven't I?
I've seen you get ripped in half and survive, but you were so still…I am glad you returned to this plane.
As am I…the egg! Galbatorix looked around him, but there was no sign of the white stone. Those warriors must have taken it. I will hunt them down when the Vault is open. Galbatorix searched the flat top of the sandstone monument, looking for something. Finally he drove the silver blade into a hole, the stone crumbling to dust around it.
Hey…what the?! The sandstone began meting, a great hole opening I the top. Galbatorix stood back with the blade in his teeth, watching the maw gape at them. Are you going to do what I think you're going to- AHH!
Galbatorix leapt into the hole, dropping into the abyss…
Mecrac
Arya held her face in her hands, weeping bitterly. "Why did this happen?"
"How can I know?" Mecrac said harshly, putting a hand to her belly. "I didn't think it was going to happen…I didn't know…"
"I will bear a half-drake child…what would that be?" Arya looked up at him, his wing shielding her from the sun.
"…a Felean and an elf produce a werecat…so a drake and an elf produce…"
"…a weredragon? How?"
"We will know when the child is born…" Arya threw her arms around him, taking comfort in his presence. "What will be the child's name?"
"If it is female…we should name her after my grandmother, Messra." Mecrac nodded. "And if it is male…"
"I think…Calren." Arya closed her eyes and leaned on him. "Calren the weredragon…"
Wow…it's still going? Well, the story isn't over yet, as I will tell you when it ends. Keep reading and reviewing!
