Sorry for the massive delay, I've been very busy working on my dragon book and finally getting it finished. Also I've been taking a break from posting and writing fanfiction for a little bit, to think about how I'm going to continue this fanfiction. Anyway I just wanted to tell you that.
Chapter 7
A Failed Alliance, Sxydrav The Enslaved Dark Dragon and Eragon's First Lesson.
As we all waited on my question to be answered by Shyiexkos, I wanted to tear the white dragoness apart. If she had destroyed the only way into my home.
"Yes I did, because I was the one who destroyed the entrance of Parlyilies Dracoiyz myself." Shiexkos growl happily for some reason as her healing factor comes in, allowing the white dragoness to use her angelic power. Healing her broken back with a loud crack, repairing it insteadly. I on the other claw was fucking pissed to no end.
"You what! Fuck this whole alliance bullshit with you, I will fucking kill you." I roared out in fury as I pounced on Shyiexkos, knocking the white dragoness down before she could react while my parasitic darkness burst to life. Saphira stepped back not out of fear, but I felt she wanted to stay out of my way through our linked connection. Brom and Eragon were shocked to hear me roar in anger over this as they carefully stood by Saphira.
I started to scratch Shyiexkos rapidly on her snout, causing blood to spilt everywhere as the white dragoness began to hiss in pain. I keep clawing Shyiexkos until she manages to grab my fore legs.
"Not if I manage to escape you first." Shyiexkos roar out as she inhale before exhaling tried to use her light fire. But nothing comes out except for hot air as I suddenly roar in laughter at Shyiexkos attempt at burning my head.
"Wait what! Why can't I use my light fire against you?" Shyiexkos was shocked beyond belief as I slowed down my laughter to a dragon-like chuckle.
"Aww what's the matter Shyiexkos? Is someone missing their angelic powers?"I grinned as I showed my bracelet to Shyiexkos that was glowing a bright red.
"You bastard, what have you done to me?" Shyiexkos snarled as she tried again but failed miserably at a second attempt. Saphira, Eragon and Brom wanted to know as well.
"It was quite easy, I just locked your angelic powers from you using the red gem on my bracelet, so now you can't use them against me or my allies."I stated growling with pride as my bracelet worked, but for how long will it work for me? Apparently not long enough for Shyiexkos to headbutt me, this stunned me as the white dragoness pushed me away from her.
Before Shyiexkos grabbing the collar around neck with her fore legs as I saw her angelic power light up the area. Immediately I manipulated my parasitic darkness to create a shield around me and my allies.
"Volkossah, I will never become your slave." Shyiexkos roar out in fury as she broke the parasitic collar like a twig, cause an exploding for parasitic and angelic energy. That exploding caused me to roar in pain as it destroyed my shield and blasted me into some trees, knocking them down on top of me. I thought that I was going to be injured for the impact
"Volkossah!" Saphira roared out in fear as she rushed to my aid with Brom and Eragon were rushing behind her, who all saw what happened to me. My impact caused tree limbs and branches to fly everywhere on me, entangle me in tree bark as some landed in front of my allies.
While this was all happening, I saw Shyiexkos silent escaped for the area as I began to struggle stand up, but that only get me more tangled up in tree bark. Luckily I can still move my shoulders and back as Saphira stopped in front of me, I saw her immediately try to prey off some of them but nothing worked.
Brom and Eragon come up next to see me trapped in tree bark as the white dragoness slipped out of the area. Saphira was panting trying to help me out.
"Eragon, Brom I can't get Volkossah out of here, I need some help." Saphira roared out as I gently pushed my shoulders against the trees that were on me.
"Don't worry Saphira, I can still move. If I can just roll over on my back, I can lift enough of these trees off of me to get out of this mess. " I growled as I slowly turned over on my back, all the while gently pressing my shoulders against the smaller tree branches. It gave me a little room to work with, as I pushed against the larger ones with my back and shoulders.
"Are you sure? You seen pretty entangled Volkossah to me." Eragon replied with concern as I pushed with my shoulders against some of the branches that slowly fell off of me, even though my head, wings and tail were all entangled. I could still move my shoulders a little bit, even with the little room I had.
"Yes Eragon I'm sure, but I may have to use my parasitic darkness for the larger ones." I snorted as I pushed harder, while creating a parasitic beam. I exhale and hold my parasitic beam as Saphira, Eragon and Brom step back to give me a good amount of space to fire my parasitic beam. I know that if I use my parasitic beam, I will risk myself of losing control. But what other choice do I have?
As they stepped back, I unleashed my parasitic beam causing the trees that were top of me to explode into pieces, completely annihilating it in seconds while many pieces of them were flying everywhere. As I cut my beam off, I rolled over on my stomach and stood back up, while my allies were watching many burned pieces of tree branches and bark hit the ground around me. I watched them stand there in shock as I had no injuries on me, no blood or anything while I titled my head at them.
"Are we going or are you going to stand there, and stare at me all day?" I asked while growling in impatience at them for not moving forward. Lucky Saphira was the first one to snap out of her stunned state.
"Sorry Volkossah, we all were stunned by the amount of your power that you had displayed." Saphira growled in happiness as she was glad that I was not injured. Saphira's sentence snapped Brom out of his shocked state as he cleared his throat.
"As much as I would love to know how you are uninjured Volkossah, we need to keep moving before we're caught by the king's forces." Brom was right, we wasted enough time here. If Galbatorix finds us here then we could be in trouble, before I could think anymore on this subject I was snapped out of my thoughts by Saphira.
"The old one is right, we need to get moving before we all get captured by his forces. Even though the entrance to Parlyilies Dracoiyz is destory, I'm sure Volkossah can find a way to control the parasitic energy that is within me." Saphira growled as she was right as I was preparing to fly alongside Saphira. While Brom and Eragon started to walk towards Therinsford, me and Saphira took to the skies as we veered west towards the mountains. While flying towards the mountains, I snarled as I felt like I was being watched by another dragon. One that I'm familiar with.
"Volkossah are you alright? Is something bothering you?" Saphira asked, as she felt my paranoid thoughts as I was looking behind my shoulders. Hope that whatever this feeling is will go away.
"Yeah I'm fine Saphira, I just feel an unfamiliar dark energy." I growled as I was searching for any threats around us. Saphira on the other claw was confused at my jumply and suspicious behavior.
"Ookay! That is very odd for you to say that. Who and what is this energy?" Saphira asks me while tilting her head. Saphira did not believe me as she thought that I'm crazy.
"Saphira I don't know, I feel like I know her by just her dark energy alone. Lucky Shyiexkos does not want to kill me right now.." I growled at Saphira as we both flew throughout the mountains. While Eragon and Brom was traveling by landed,
As we flew throughout the mountains, I saw that it was late morning. The sun was in the late morning sky as I was in a good mood despite Shyiexkos escaping me. While me and Saphira flew in silence Saphira caught a deer to eat, as the sapphire dragon ate it in the air. As for that feeling that I got, it grew more intense while we both were flying closer to Therinsford. So much that I feel a massive amount of dark energy ahead of us.
After about what seemed like a whole day of flying, Eragon and Brom finally found a hidden spot that was near Therinsford. Away from the main dirt road that leads into town, As the evening hours approached, Saphira and I heard Eragon called out to us.
"Saphira, Volkossah we found a hidden spot for you two to landed." Images flashed before our eyes as we saw a clearing with a camp and a pot of food cooking on the makeshift campfire. Myself and Saphira joined them from above as we landed next to Brom and Eragon.
"Did you get enough time to hunt for food?" Eragon asked as Saphira settled down next to Eragon as I laid next to her.
"If you two were any slower, I would have time to fly across the sea and back without falling behind." Saphira snorted in amusement as I completely agreed with her, humans are always too slow.
"I agreed with Saphira on this one." I simply stated as I saw Brom was twirling what appears to be practice swords made of wood. While Eragon and Saphira were talking privately, I felt my parasitic darkness acting up as purple electricity was staticing around me. Before Brom could throw the stick at Eragon, we all heard a roar.
"Master!" A dragon roar pierced throughout the air as I stood up in shock, while Saphira, Eragon and Brom were surprised to hear another dragon. Before either of them could replay a purple dragon appeared in the air, as it dived towards me.
I saw the purple dragon with matching underbelly landed in front of me as I saw her orange beast-like eyes while she looked back at me. Other than looking like me, the female dragon is very curvy and long. Not that much as Saphira is but I'm not complaining about how this unknown dragon almost looks like me. I stood there confused as this dragon, who was bowing her head towards me and calling me master. And how does she even know my name?
"My master I finally found you, I been looking everywhere for you Volkossah" A dark and cold voice ring throughout the clearing as I saw this dragon rise her head back up. Saphira, Brom and Eragon were surprised to see an unknown dragon, here in front of their very eyes.
"Who the fuck are you and how do you know my name?" I asked, growling at the dragon as this mysterious dragon let out a strange dragon like cough inducing that she was laughing.
"Master, I'm Sxydrav, an enslaved dark dragon that is bound by you through the eternal mark. That mark underneath your left claw has been there since you were born and it shows you that I'm your eternal servant of darkness, my only sole purpose is to serve you my master, and only you no one else. Just give any order master and I will fulfill it no matter the cost." The female dragon called Sxydrav roar out as dark aura was surrounding her, making the female purple dragon look like a demonic dragon. I was stunned at this development, another dragon is here, but how is that possible? Unless there are more dragons that are hidden throughout Alagaesia, I have no idea about it. But anything is possible and in the future it can change, in a split second.
"Sxydrav, an enslaved dragon? Servant of darkness, what do you mean by that?" I growl in confusion as I title my head, while Brom, Eragon and Saphira snap out of their stunned state. Before I can even ask this question Brom so rudely cut in.
"Do you work for the king? The reason why I asked this is because it is very suspicious seeing another dragon here that can spy for the king. Especially since you called yourself an enslaved dragon and a servant of darkness." I snarled at Brom's question, while the old one was leaning against his cane, as Saphira was curious about this new dragon. Eragon on the other hand wanted to know as well, why is there another dragon here?
"If you must know Brom, I don't work for the king. I was a sealed dragon in a crystal until Zikdralinrcx the parasitic demonic god and Dracoslhyziy the god of corruption released me from my crystal prison. Both of them stated that Volkossah here is the only one to stop Zvxcossak the dark god and his servant Soltossah. Who was revealed by Galbatorix himself." This was not what I expected to hear from Sxydrav. Brom, Eragon and Saphira were confused about the names, but not me. I was surprised to hear these very old names blurted out by Sxydrav.
Zikdralinrcx the parasitic demonic god and Dracoslhyziy the god of corruption are very ancient parasitic dragons that are immortal god-like beings. They both have been allies to the parasitic dragon clan since the early days of Skyvossik. Zvxcossak and Soltossah are dark dragons that want to destroy this world to make it their own image.
"Zikdralinrcx and Dracoslhyziy are here? I'm glad that they both are here, but where are they? Zvxcossak and Soltossah, what do they want from me?" I asked as I knew I just left my allies very confused at the moment. How do I know these names my allies are wondering about?
Well that is very interesting indeed, I saw some very ancient stone plates with pictures of Skyvossik in my underground home. And on these walls told a tale about a dragon that had the same name as me, one that was adopted into the dark ones and betrayed by that very clan. Let's call this dragon: Volkossah 1 for now? Volkossah 1 defied the odds against him and managed to defeat the dark god and his allies. And these names were the ones that I saw at the bottom of them, that is how I know them. Before I could think about that anymore, Sxydrav interrupted my thoughts.
"Yes master that is correct, Zikdralinrcx and Dracoslhyziy are here and they are in Parlyilies Dracoiyz, there is a hidden entrance to your home that is passed Therinford. Shyiexkos lied to you to prevent you from reaching your full power, But Zvxcossak and Soltossah don't want anything for you, they want to destroy Alagaesia themselves." This stunned us all as we heard Sxydrav's words. Me and Saphira were surprised to hear Zvxcossak wanted to destroy this world himself. I thought that there was only one way in Parlyilies Dracoiyz, apparently there is another way into my home, while I saw Eragon and Brom with horrified expressions at these words. Before the storyteller or Eragon could reply, Saphira cut in.
"This is not good for us to hear that the mad king himself has new allies: Zvxcossak and Soltossah. Are these two dragons very powerful? Even though Galbatorix is still a massive threat in Alagaesia." Saphira snarled as she replied the egg breaker's name in hatred. While Sxydrav nodded as this confronted Saphira's point.
"That is true Saphira Zvxcossak and Soltossah are very powerful dragons, but only Volkossah can defeat them alone since he is the last parasitic dragon of Alagaesia. I can help you defeat the king and the dark god himself, if you want my help that is." Sxydrav responded as Brom tapped his hand on his pipe though, while I was confused on what Sxydrav just said to me. Before I or another one else can cut in, Brom interrupted.
"Sxydrav, since you are against the mad king, you are welcome to join us for now, but you need to earn my trust. If you make one mistake and you are gone, get it. But it seems that there is a new threat looming over this one." Brom replied harshly as he was twirling two wooden swords around his hand again. Sxydrav nodded in acknowledgement, as I laid down in my previous spot. Eragon and Brom sat down at the opposite sides of the campfire, while Sxydrav laid down next to me. In a fast pace move Brom suddenly threw one of the wooden swords at Eragon, the rider grabbed it out of reflex as he whirled it over the ongoing flames.
"Defend yourself!" Brom barked out as he stood up in a combat stance. Eragon looked at the stick in his hand and saw it looked like a wooden sword crude out of tree bark. Eragon looked at me, as I gave a dragon fang-like grin to Eragon before I gestured him towards Brom and to do what Brom said. I know Eragon will get his ass handed to by Brom as me, Saphira and Sxydrav saw Eragon rose up to face Brom. Me, Saphira and Sxydrav watched intently as he suddenly charged Brom, I shook my head in disappointment.
I know this will not end well for Eragon, we saw Eragon swinging his stick at Brom but end up failing. Brom charged Eragon as the last rider tried to block the old one's attack, but was too slow. Brom struck Eragon in the ribs causing him to yelp as he stumbled backwards.
Without thinking Eragon luge forward, but the blow was easily parried by Brom. Eragon then tried to swing for Brom's head, as at the last moment he twisted it trying to hit Brom's side. The sound of a solid wood striking against wood echoed throughout the camp.
"Hey Saphira, I bet you that Eragon will be knocked out in two second." I proposed a bet as Saphira turned her attention to me.
"It's a deal Volkossah." Saphira doesn't know what she gets herself into as Sxydrav continues to watch Eragon's progress.
"Improvisation, good Eragon, but it is not enough." Brom stated as his eyes gleamed. In a blur of movement his arm smacked Eragon hard in the side of the head as the last rider collapsed in a dazed state dropping like a stone. At the time I roared into laughter as I won the bet.
"Haha Holy… Shit… Eragon just get his fucking ass whipped haha." I roared in a fit of laughter as Sxydrav grinned at this. Saphira was snorting, trying to suppress her own laughter. Not before long we saw Brom slash some cold snow on Eragon.
The poor rider woke up as the cold water slashed on his face, making him alert and aware of his surroundings. While his head was ringing and he felt dry blood on his face, Eragon looked up and saw Brom with a metal pen of melted snow water. While I was laughing my tail off, Eragon looked at me and gave me a glare, before returning to look at Brom again.
"You shouldn't have done that." Eragon argued in an angry tone, while pushing himself up as he felt dizzy and unsteady.
"Oh? The real enemy would have never softened his blows and neither shall I. Should I pander to your… Incompetence so you will feel better? I don't think so, now defend yourself." I saw Brom pick up the stick that Eragon dropped and held it out for Eragon to take back.
"Forget it, I had enough." Eragon stared at the piece of wood before shaking his head. While Eragon turned away, he was suddenly whacked across his back loudly as he stumbled forward. As me, Saphira and Sxydrav slightly wince for the impact, we all saw Eragon spun around to face Brom with a glare. Brom was surprisingly calm as he twisted Eragon's stick around until he grabbed the wooden fake blade.
"Never ever turn your back on your enemy, they will easily kill you without hesitation." Brom snapped as I thought about Brom's words. These were too true, the enemy will kill poeple in a second and if their are in numbers then you will be completely fucked. I saw the old one toss the stick to Eragon as Brom attacked once again. Eragon grabbed the stick and retreated around the campfire to avoid Brom's onslaught.
"Pull your arms in, and keep your knees bent." Brom shouted as he continued to give Eragon instruction. Brom briefly pauses to show Eragon exactly how to execute them, before they start sparring again.
As I watched Eragon and Brom continue their sparring session, I was still laughing my tail off. But it slowed down a bit as I heard Brom give Eragon instructions to do the action over, but more slowly this time. While both Eragon and Brom were sliding through the forms of exaggeration motions before returning to their furious battle. I noticed Eragon had learned quickly but it was not enough as he couldn't hold off Brom for more than a few blows with the practice sword.
After they both stopped sparring, Eragon flopped down on his blankets as he groaned in pain. He was hurting everywhere as this caused me to start laughing my tail off again. Eragon looked in my direction and he saw Saphira start to laugh alongside me as well as she couldn't take it anymore. Sxydrav was more mature than me, but she had a dragon fang-like grin that showed her own amusement.
"What's wrong with you two?" Eragon notices Saphira and I make an odd coughing growl noise. Eragon saw our lips curled up, showing our formidable teeth, while Brom was retrieving Eragon's practice sword the young rider confronted both of us.
"Nothing, Eragon. It's just so funny to see a hatchling like yourself get beat by the old one." Eragon's face immediately turned red as he realized Saphira and I were laughing at then tried to preserve some dignity that he had left by rolling over onto his side and ignoring us as he fell asleep.
Shortly after Eragon fell asleep, it was well into the night I say it was about 9:00 pm. I decided to tease Saphira who was growling at losing the bet. One thing that I know is that dragons hate to lose, especially females because of our dragon pride.
"Aww what's the matter little Saphira? Is the all mighty powerful dragon afraid of getting her ass handed to in a game of tag and afraid of losing a bet." After I said that, Saphira whacked me upside the head with her tail. While Brom and Sxydrav were watching our exchange of words, Saphira stood up as she started to wake to the clear.
"I'm not your servant Volkossah, but I need to go get a drink of water and clear my mind some. Stupid male dragons and their pride." I clearly heard Saphira as she walked out on us to get some water. Sxydrav shook her hand as Brom decided not to press the issue. While I saw Saphira walk up to the river to take a drink of water, I thought about the journey ahead of us.
