She is certainly riding on your back on the way to the others, Hemlock, mused the sapphire beast before them. I just hope the dragon in the egg can take her as you can Rom.
Other than Rom and Aiveri, this human is the only thing I have ever heard use such ear-tainting language, the emerald one seemed to smirk. The ruby, who was somewhat smaller than the other two, grunted and shook his head.
Come now, we must get them to the gate be for Murtagh has our heads, he growled towards his companions be for looking back down at the humans. The smallest, a blond male, had fallen unconscious and was currently being supported by a brown haired boy with emerald eyes. Thorn's head recoiled at the sight. By the gods, he looks like Murtagh! And the other looks like Darli!
And the one glaring daggers at us- Saphira began.
Looks like Eragon! Hemlock took a step back and bent down to examine the other five. The girl reminds me of Rom. This one- he paused in front of the tallest, a man with piercing blue eyes and long blond hair. -looks much like Aiveri and Rom's father. What did Angela say was his name again? Xhan? Or was it Murza?
Xhan Dyion? inquired Thorn.
Yes, that was it, the green dragon continued to look, giving separate names for each. This one- he sniffed at the still stunned boy with short black hair pulled back in a low ponytail. -reminds me of Trizan, his eyes wandered over the boy similar to the one he had called Rom, snorting out the name Aiveri be for he stopped at Duo, jumping back in surprise. The boys eyes are violet! And look at his hair! Just like the one from the prophecy...
Nell Visira? Impossible! the red dragon stepped forward, studying the pale figure of who his only male dragon companion called Nell. With a wild roar, he jumped back, sending sand into the air. Impossible! Murtagh and I saw his execution done by Galbatorix! It is not possible! It is- it- no! -it is-
"Injustice!" yelled the first human to talk, the one Hemlock called Trizan. "Dragons! Yes, I believe in them in some sorts, but never would it be true to see one! Injustice! And who do you think you are calling Trizan? You ca- 'uo 'a'e'l! 'e' 'o' er 'e!" he screamed into the hand of the braided boy, who had, be for the dragons could blink, taken charge and stopped the boy from saying anything he would regret.
"Calm down Wufei!" he snarled loudly and the others quickly turned their attention from the dragons to the two boys. "You don't know if- OW!" he ripped away his hand, an imprint of where 'Wufei's' teeth had marked him. "Why you little-!" it was the girls turn to grab him, and with the help of her obvious twin, held him back.
"Both of you are getting a tad carried away," the blond male (the one who wasn't unconscious) spoke up, hands on his hips. "I think we should simply follow these creatures orders, seeing as they obviously know what our current location is."
"Zechs is right, you know, and I hate to admit it," the Eragon look-a-like said, his face emotionless and empty. The Murtagh impersonation stood beside him, the small blond on his back, still out of it. "We should listen to them, hear what they have to say. If we think something is up, we can always try and get away."
Not with magic serving as a barrier around the gate, mused Saphira, causing the humans to glance up at her with confused looks. The young empath he has on his back should know quite a bit about magic, if I guess correctly. The humans immediately turned their eyes to look at the frail blond boy.
"Empath?" came the soft question from the Murtagh look-a-like.
Noah cleared her throat and looked behind her at Wufei, who was still grumbling about having to sit on the back of a dragon. In front of her was Duo, his usual grin lost in the chill air and his thoughts. A sudden wave of exhaustion pulled itself over her, causing her to yawn, which caused her to lean back, right into the unsuspecting ex-Shenlong pilot.
"Watch it, Bastion!" the obsidian-eyed boy hissed, tightening his grip around her waist so he wouldn't fall. Falling was an impossible aspect, though, as the dragons had instructed them to tie the leather straps on the saddles around their legs. Upon noticing his arms around her waist, Noah's face turned bright red but she turned, grinning at Wufei.
"Sorreh, di'n't mean ta star'le ya," she laughed nervously, hoping the Chinese boy thought her strange face color was because of the unusually cold air and fast winds in the skies above the vast desert. Saphira, the sapphire dragon Heero, Quatre, and Trowa currently occupied some feet behind them, had called the extremely hot dunes and sand the Hadarac Desert, and Hemlock, the emerald dragon the three of them currently rode upon, had called the endless pits of tiny specs of dirt, and quote, "The most Hell-ish place in all of Alagaesia." Thorn, the red one Tori and Zechs rode on high above them, had said nothing about it.
Wufei grunted and looked down towards the golden earth. Noah could never understand anything about her figure silent affection and he would never know how much she cared. With a heavy sigh, she turned back, burying her face in Duo's back. If he did find out, there was a chance he would never speak to her again. She tightened her grip on Duo, drifting off to sleep.
"So... Where are we, again?"
"Shut up, Maxwell," Wufei grunted, arms crossed over his chest as he stared at the dark stone that surrounded them. They had followed the three dragons inside the gate of a castle and then farther inside until the castle had no light left but torches. A mouse came across them every so often and at one point, one had tried to make its way up Noah's pants leg. Needless to say, Wufei's left arm would be bruised for some time once the German girl let go of him, if she ever did.
A ground shaking chuckle came from the emerald dragon, We are in the castle of the Riders. Our Riders, Eragon, Murtagh, and Rom, with help from the villagers of Carvahall and a few other towns, built this wondrous place. Now, I will ask of you to be quiet for the rest of the way, he looked back at the eight ex-pilots. I wish not for the eggs to be harmed.
Being quiet was not hard for any of the pilots, except for Duo, who was becoming extremely fidgety. They continued to walk until a large silver door came into their view. Saphira pushed it open and they walked still.
Hemlock will show you your rooms, then bring you all to the egg chambers tomorrow morning. You will meet some very important people there and it would be best to get some sleep, he shook his head slightly. There are not, sadly, enough rooms, so you will be staying two in a chamber. Any problems with that? no one protested, to Thorns greater amusement, and then he and the sapphire dragon left to the egg chambers.
Alrighty, then... Hemlock looked them over be for setting each a room. You two, he motioned at Zechs and Tori then to the room closest to them. Go on in, nothing will bite. They followed the instructions and went quickly inside. Trowa and Quatre were placed in a room together, then Duo and Heero, and, to her surprise, Noah was placed in a room with Wufei. They were ordered to stay in their rooms until they were called, and they were definitely not going to disobey.
"Hey, Wufei?" Noah asked as she sat on her bed, staring out the only window in the castle she had seen so far. The Chinese grunted, not looking up from the quilt below him. "Are you-"
"No."
"But you di'nt listen to my question!"
"You were going to ask if I was afraid, were you not?" his eyes shot up, locking with tear filled gray ice.
This got a smile from the girl. "Ja."
"You are obvious."
"Unlike you?"
"Yes."
"Thanks a lot, kid, now my head hurts!" Xhan hissed, massaging the bridge of his nose. "All that mumbo jumbo you just said is... Mumbo jumbo! I cant make any sense of it all! And, from what you say, you are not form this world!"
Is everything okay? Lotica frowned, walking back from where ever she had been. Did something happen?
"Perfektionieren Sie! Wir haben jemanden von einer anderen Welt und alles ist nur perfekt!" he screamed in a language that Jasnia recognized as German. "Nichts könnte besser sein! Außer der Tatsache bin ich weit über hinaus mein Verständnis als ein Wolven verwirrt! Sie ist von einer anderen Welt, Lotica! Eine andere Welt! Können Sie die Ungerechtigkeit davon alle nicht verstehen!(1)"
Another one of his rants... Great, she sighed heavily be for walking over to the horses. If only he would speak so you could understand him, huh, Jasnia?
"I can understand him," the cyborg looked up, frowning. "From my world, its called German," she watched as Solita and Vifaru did their best to calm the fuming Moquian male. Why is he speaking in German if its an entirely different world I am trapped in? shaking her head, she blocked out Xhan's words, planning on asking what a Wolven was once they had the white haired man calm.
Sleep didn't come easy and Noah was tossing in her bed the entire night, trying to get comfortable, but she couldn't. It wasn't just that, it was the fact they were in some strange place with none of their things and-
Music screamed from one of the lower pockets of her pants and she fell to the floor, startled; Wufei shot up from his bed, hand on the Dao he had hidden well under his jacket the entire day. He was looking around until he saw the frantic German girl scrambling for the pocket near her shoes. Out came her cell phone and she seemed even more startled.
Flipping it open, she managed to stutter out, "'allo?" she pulled back from the phone, which she had forgotten was on speaker as the familiar voice of Midii Une came through.
"I have been trying to get in touch with you guys for the past two days! Where in the world are you all!"
"You wouldn't believe us if we told you," Wufei said, sliding to the floor beside Noah so he could be heard better. "We just happen to be in a..." he frowned slightly.
"Stitch o' supernatural events?" the German girl added softly.
"Yes."
"Supernatural eve-" at that moment the phone disappeared, earning a very loud curse from Noah.
"Perfektionieren Sie!" with a quivering sigh, she lifted herself off the stone floor and looked out the window. It was about 1:29am, if the moon here was the same as the one as their home in a different realm. "I hate to admit this, but I am officially freaked out now." Wufei nodded solemnly. They were in for something big and his gut was telling him it was bigger than the war had ever been.
1 is "Perfect! We have someone of another world and everything is just perfect! Nothing could be better! Except for the fact I am confused far beyond my understandings as a Wolven! She is from another world, Lotica! Another world! Can you not understand the injustice of it all!"
R&R!
