The last poll was a tie so I closed it. Because I'm undecided with that one for now, so I have another poll question for you: Should Saphira have a parasitic form like Volkossah? Also I'm adding a twist to the books in this chapter.
Chapter 5
Saddles And A Surprised Return
After my and Brom talk last night, I fell asleep thinking about my next steps with my new three companions. I know that I had to find the dark blood in Parlyilies Dracoiyz, if that can't provide me with answers then Zikdralinrcx's statue will, but before that could happen Brom needed to create a saddle for Saphira first.
The next morning or… rather late afternoon. I woke up to see Brom making a dragon saddle for the sapphire dragon in front of me, Saphira was looking over the process. Eragon was fixing up his rip up pack. I looked at the sky yawning and saw it clear to fly, but in the distance was a massive group of clouds gathering up ahead. Despite this it was great weather for flying and playing.
I looked at Saphira as I snorted at the idea of having a saddle, I know that Saphira needs one for Eragon. But me no... fucking… way, I'm a wild parasitic dragon and will not be riding like some horse. I however will allow people to ride me that I thrust only. No one will ride me like a tamed beast, if someone does try to ride me. I will immediately buck them off of me and punish them dearly.
"Good morning Saphira, did I miss anything?" I yawned once more as I started to stretch out my legs. Saphira looked at me with a fang-like grin.
"Morning? It's late afternoon Volkossah. You slept through almost the whole day away and in fact, you did miss something. You miss breakfast and lunch, so I get you a bulk for your meal and you miss almost all of Brom's process of making my saddle." I hear Saphira humming in happiness, in the corner of my right eyes. I saw a freshly killed bulk beside me. I immediately grabbed the bulk as I noticed it was almost in the evening hours. I was about to start eating my late meal, I saw Brom was almost done working on the saddle. I can tell that he is almost done as he was making little adjustments to it, I know I had to thank Saphira for the meal.
"Thanks for the meal Saphira." I thanked Saphira as I quickly dug into my meal, I saw Brom's work was completely done with my front eye.
"You welcome Volkossah." Saphira replied with a fanged grin as she looked over her saddle.
Multiple cords were tied together, for each stitch. Two holes had been cut through the leather, Eragon must have helped with that. Knots were rigged in place of buckles, every single strap was extra long on the saddle to continually fit Saphira in the incoming months.
The main saddle was assembled by three sections sewed together with padding. Attached to the front is a thick loop that fits snugly, around one of Saphira's neck spikes. While wide bands were sewn on each side, that is wrapped around Saphira's belly and is tied underneath her. The stirrups had multiple loops ripped around each band. It was tightened to hold Eragon in place, while two long straps were constructed to pass between Saphira's front legs as they passed through them. They then split into two separate straps then come back behind Saphira's front legs, before rejoining the saddle.
Then I saw Brom putting the saddle on Saphira himself, it fit Saphira perfectly even though I didn't have a saddle myself. Eragon had finished separating and dividing his supplies into sections, it was a good idea to do that instead of trying to find what you need. He then put his supplies into his bag instead of mixing his and Brom equipment together. Which would be a fucking nightmare to pick through it, a wise decision on Eragon's part.
"You did a good job on the saddle Brom." Eragon complimented on Brom's handcrafted saddle as the old one was worn out from making it.
"One tries his best Eragon, this saddle will serve you well. The leather is sturdy enough and strong for Saphira's incoming growth. Take good care of it." Brom stated as he wiped the sweat from his forehead with one of his hands. I could tell that Brom tried from working on Saphira's saddle, all throughout the morning and into the afternoon.
"So are you going to try it out?" Saphira was humming as I saw her show her saddle to Eragon. I guess she was proud to finally have a saddle on her.
"Maybe tomorrow Saphira, It's too late now." Eragon replied, not wanting to ride Saphira right now like his last disastrous outcome in attempting that. I know that Eragon was lying through his fucking teeth, in truth it was not late as I saw him with a nervous expression on his face. I know Eragon was scared shitless to ride Saphira from what I saw in his last attempt in riding her a few days ago. So I cut in the conversion to call him out on his lie.
"That is fucking bullshit Eragon, it not too late to ride your own dragon. You still have some daylight left to ride Saphira. Are you that scared to ride Saphira Eragon?" I snarl at a shocked Eragon as he sees that he has been caught in his lie.
"How do you know about that Volkossah?" Eragon asked as he was stunned at me knowing this. Brom and Saphira were surprised that I knew this easily.
"Don't take me for a fool, Eragon. I know this because Saphira allowed me to look into her thoughts and feelings a few days ago. In return I allowed her to do the same with me, plus I can easily tell a lie from the truth very quickly. Brom must know about this, dragons are not a mindless beast. We dragons are very intelligible beings and very smart in telling a lie, plus if we have very dominating nature. If there is something that we want, we can take it quite easily. It doesn't matter if it's gold or a mate, it's ours to claim if we can get our claws on it." I stated as I saw Eragon open and closed his mouth speechless. I grinned knowing that Eragon was caught.
"Volkossah is right about the dragon race Eragon. Plus being scared to fly on your dragon is normal for you, but you will get over it with time." Brom pointed out as me and Saphira hummed in satisfied with Brom's statement. While I finally finished my meal.
Dinner was made in silence, lucky I just ate. There was silence between us all as me and Saphira watched Eragon and Brom eat, until Eragon broke the silence.
"Will we be leaving tomorrow?" Eragon asked with a grim tone to no one in particular. So I cut in the conversation.
"I suppose there is no point in staying here any longer, Eragon." I growled sadly as I felt Eragon's feels through mine and Saphira's metenlly link. Before Eragon could reply back Brom cut in.
"Volkossah is right Eragon, there is no reason to turning back now, we must move forward with our journey. I suppose there is no need to look back at the past… look Eragon, I must apologize about everything that recently happened to your life. I never wish for all of this to happen, your family should have deserved such a tragic fate. If there was anything that I could've done to reverse it, I would have. This is a terrible situation for us all." Brom's statement as Eragon sat in silence avoided his gaze, and Saphira could tell that Eragon didn't want to talk about it. It was silent for a few moments before Brom spoke again.
"We're going to need horses for traveling." Brom points out as I snort about having a worseless animal around me that can easily be devor by me and Saphira.
"Maybe you do, but I have Saphira to ride on." Eragon protested as I chuckled at Eragon's words.
"Eragon there is no fucking way in hell, a horse could even out run a dragon. No horse comes even close to matching a dragon's speed and strength. A horse is meant to carry equipment only, while dragons are meant for power and speed." I voiced out my opinion as I hummed.
"Volkossah is right little one, nothing can outrun a dragon." Saphira agreed with me as she was happy about my statement. Before Eragon could reply, Brom cut in.
"Volkossah and Saphira are both right Eragon, Saphira too young to carry both. I'm unsure about Volkossah's age, but that can wait for later, but it'll be safer if we both ride together on horses. Riding is faster than walking Eragon." Brom statement as I saw him puff out smoke from his piple.
"But that'll make it harder to track down the Ra'zac, on Saphira and Volkossah we could find them in a day or two. On horses it will take longer to find them, if it's even possible to overtake them on the ground!" Eragon argued back as Brom sighed.
"It's a chance that you're going to have to take, if I am to accompany you." Brom pointed out slowly as Eragon pouted. I can see the point in Eragon's argument, but Brom is right it's best to stay together then going separately.
"Fine, we can get horses, but you have to buy them. Since I don't have any money, I'm not stealing again, it's just wrong to do." Eragon pointed out as he thought it over.
"It depends on your point of view, before you set out on this venture. Remember your enemies the Ra'zac, they are the king's servants. They-" Brom was cut off by Saphira, who suddenly roared out in pure agony. This caused me to feel the same pain as her, but while I was doing this. I felt Saphira's parasitic darkness start to grow, this got me very worried for Saphira. I saw Eragon try to confirm her.
"Shit this is not good!" I privately thought as I saw Saphira begin to struggle for control from parasitic darkness.
"Saphira are you okay?" Eragon asked his dragon as I knew what was happening to the sapphire dragon.
"No I'm not, something inside me is causing me great agony." Saphira gritted her teeth as Brom stork his chin in thought, while I know the reason why Saphira is going through this.
"Could you have eating a parasite Saphira?" Brom asked as Saphira was struggling with the pain.
"No I have not." Saphira growled in pain as I saw the parasitic darkness started to appear in the form of red electrical energy around Saphira. I decided to cut in with my answer.
"It is Saphira's parasitic darkness acting up, something is causing it to do this and that is the small amount of parasitic energy within her. We need to get to Parlyilies Dracoiyz now." I answered with a growl as I saw the parasitic darkness within Saphira was not escalation, which was good. But the parasitic darkness within Saphira is stabilizing, causing the sapphire dragon to snarl in pain.
"What! But what about the horses we plan to get?" Eragon asked as I snarled at Eragon's pointless question.
"Fuck the horses, you idiot. If I don't find a way to control your dragon's parasitic energy, Saphira will become a bloodlust dragon hellbent on infecting Alagaesia. Do you fucking want that to happen?" I roared out as my parasitic darkness within me collided with Saphira's, causing a burst of parasitic darkness in the air. My statement caused Brom to curse and Eragon to grasp in shock, before Eragon could speak up, Brom cut in.
"Volkossah is right Eragon, forget the horses for now. We must go to Parlyilies Dracoiyz." Brom replied as I saw the parasitic darkness suddenly decreased in power.
"But where is Parlyilies Dracoiyz?" Eragon cried out as he tried to comprehend what was happening.
"It's a mile out to the west of Therinsford, I can guide you two there. Saphira will be fine for now, because it's already stabilized." I statement as Saphira managed to stop growling. I take off into the air along with Saphira, who follows behind me. While Brom and Eragon started to walk to Parlyilies Dracoiyz, but before I could even guide Eragon and Brom to my home, we all heard a roar that I knew would delay us.
"Volkossah, you fucking coward. Come fight me, you monster." I growled in annoyance, hearing Shyiexkos voice once again as I turned my head to my left. I saw the fucking white dragoness rushing to me at light speed.
"Ooh fuck my life, not her again." I thought privately as the while dragon was fucked pissed off, probably because I pick her ass up and throw her off a fucking cliff. Before me or Saphira could react I was slammed hard by Shyiexkos, who was trying to bite me on the neck. Caused me to be knocked off course as I tried to regain control of my wings, luckily I was able to slow down my descent that was caused by Shyiexkos.
"Volkossah!" I hear Saphira roar out as both me and Shyiexkos skidded hard in the clearing that I took off from with me pinned down to the ground by the white dragoness. Brom and Eragon turn back to see another dragon. While Saphira turned back to land, I'm confront Shyiexkos.
"Fucking hell Shyiexkos, what is your damn problem?" I roared out as my parasitic darkness burst into life, while Brom and Eragon were in shock to see another dragon. If Shyiexkos thinks that she can delay our journey, then she gets anything coming her way.
"You're my fucking problem Volkossah." I snort at Shyiexkos's words as Eragon can't contain his excitement
"Another dragon... but how is that possible?" Eragon was in awe as he saw Shyiexkos, who was looking at Eragon. While Saphira slams down hard on the ground, I snorted at Eragon's question. He learned about Shyiexkos from me as I told him about her being my enemy just yesterday, and his excitement about seeing my enemy? While Shyiexkos was busy staring at Eragon, I quietly slipped out of my enemies grasp as Brom prepared a couple of spells, just in case things get heated. Saphira snarls at the white bitch as I quietly walk beside Saphira with a fang grin on my face.
"Yes, another dragon! Eragon, Saphira, Brom this is the white slut of a dragoness Shyiexkos. Who is a whore dragoness, she has mated with multiple male dragons and has been exiled out of her own clan. All this happened before the shadow war ever began." I decided to fuck with Shyiexkos as this was very true, I read from the stone walls that Shyiexkos fucked multiple male dragons in a month before the shadow war take place. That causes her to become a whore of a dragoness and to be exiled from her own clan the holy light dragon clan premenatily. Saphira was disgusted at her as she growled towards the white slut. Eragon and Brom were the same as Saphira, disgusted.
"Fuck you Volkossah! Why don't you fucking go to hell, you cocksucker peace of shit? Take your pride of yours and shove it up your own ass for all I care, in fact why don't your choke on your own fucking dick and die." I roared out laughing, my tail off at Shyiexkos's words. Saphira, Eragon and Brom had never heard such vulgar swearing in one sentence alone as Brom and Saphira knew that I was laughing due to my dragon-like cough pattern. Eragon on the other hand was confused.
"Aww what's wrong Shyiexkos? Are you afraid of little old me?" I teased Shyiexkos as the white dragoness snarled at me.
"Fuck off Volkossah." Shyiexkos growled at me as I grinned showing my teeth. Saphira just about had enough of this as I felt her anger towards me.
"Enough Volkossah, Shyiexkos! I want answers from both of you now." Saphira calmly stated as I looked at the sapphire dragon in question. Who wanted an answer from us? Even Brom and Eragon too. I sigh as I was glad to give Saphira answers but Shyiexkos on the other claw, not so much.
