The boy
Jade woke up between two soft skins on the warm night sand. A fire crackled beside her, she was not sure what had happened after the battle. As soon as she tried to move her shoulder roared with pain forcing her to stay down on the skins. When she examined the wound she found it cleaned and bandaged. However much to her dismay her shirt had also been striped in the process. Then a thought donned on her. ~Shenth?! Are you out there? ~
~ I am here. ~ He answered flapping over close to her side from his perch not to far off. ~ Glad to see you awake little one. ~ Shenth nuzzle her cheek with snout and hummed loudly. ~ You had slept for three days now; the boy and I were starting to get worried. ~
~ Boy? ~ Jade questioned.
~ The one who saved you. I tried to heed your call but I was to far. I will never leave your side again. ~ He bowed his head and laid it next to her head. ~ It shall never happen again. ~
~ Don't be so hard on yourself it was not your fault I got hurt. ~ She patted him on the snout with her good arm, but he didn't seem to ease up any.
"So she's awake." A deep voice said. Jade turned her head to see a silhouette of a man coming toward her. Has she walked into the firelight she could see that he was about her age with long shaggy brown and fierce brown eyes. Jade currently wouldn't have used the "boy" to describe him at all. "How are you feeling?" He asked softly bending down to his knees so he didn't loom over her for he was quite tall.
"Like a horse just kicked me in shoulder." He smiled at her joke.
"Well then I think your going to be alright. In five or six years you will never know the difference." He fired back. He placed his hand on her forehead. "Ah, your fever has broken I believe the arrow that hit you was dosed in some kind of drug. You were out for days."
"So Shenth told me. "Jade chirped trying to make the best of things.
"So that's the brute's name."
"He didn't tell you?" Jade asked befuddled patting Shenth on the head.
"There is only a link between dragons and riders. Only thoughs with strong power can talk with dragons other wise. I am not one of them. I didn't even know your name."
"It's Jade." She filled in quickly.
"Ah, I see well it is nice to meet you Jade. I am Murgth." He eyes wandered down her neck resting on a silver chain with a green silver trimmed leaf she wore around her neck. "I have been wanting to ask you where did you get this?" He said softly, pointing at the necklace.
"It was my mother's. It all I have left of her; she died soon after I was born. Why do you ask?"
Murgth looked down not wanting to bring up hurtful past. "It's nothing just something I read in a book once. I think it's an elfish symbol of protection. It is race, so I guess you are lucky."
"Ya, lucky." Jade said rubbing her hurt shoulder.
"You are an inch lower and that arrow would have cut a tendon in your arm. "
"I should have been paying attention to what I was doing and this wouldn't have happened. I was a fool to think I could fight them all."
"You Bested a Ra-zac that's more than some can say." He said looking down at her shoulder. "By all right you should be dead." He put rather bluntly. Jade looked away knowing he was right.
"I don't know if what would have happened if you wouldn't have been there."
"But I was." He said cutting her off. "Now you can repay me by helping me fight the King and all his evil."
"I will, I promise but what can two people do?"
"Not just you and I but I have sent word to Verden with on horse. They should come as soon as they get it." He put his hand on her good shoulder. "Get some sleep tomorrow if your well we shall ride together. " Shenth ruffled his wings in displesement.
~ What is it Shenth? ~
~ You are hurt. I will carry you. I would be much smoother than any horse thing.~ Shenth said with a stroke of pride. ~ I may not be able to fly with you, but I could walk with not a problem for you do not weigh much. ~
Jade turned to face Murgth again. "Shenth wants to carry me." He nodded his head in agreement and bid her good night. Shenth laid down beside resting his nose by her neck humming softly. Jade's last thought before she drifted off to sleep was that she would be going to the place that her mother was from.
