I just realized something, this story doesn't take inspiration from shadow rider, which I have to recommend, it can be found here .net/s/6058788/1/Book_4_Shadow_Rider so check that out.

Brom took his hand, quite stiffly, and shook it. Fiir smiled

"you are...nervous about my appearance?" he didn't wait for confirmation but Brom nodded any way.

"it is merely part of power, as a shadowmancer I am at one with the shadows, as you saw by the shadow jump." Brom looked confused

"shadow jumping is where I become a shadow, I can move and then reform my body"

"so why don't you just shadow jump and find the eggs, that seems easier"

"it has a limited distance as eventually my form can't be reformed and I stay a shadow. Besides, when they see me what do you thin they are going to do? Shadow I may be, but I'm not immortal"

"oh"

"if you've finished can we get back to the main problem" they both turned to face Vrael

"you need to set off as quickly as possible, I've included where their last known position was, so set out and see if there's any evidence of a fight or the eggs" Brom bowed slightly and walked out, while Fiir shadow jumped, presumably to his room. When the door closed Fiir reformed next to Vrael

"he fears me" Vrael sighed

"with good reason"

"if we are to work together, he's going to have to trust me" he thought about it for a second "a spar might help"

"how?"

"think about it, he needs to know I wont just kill him and I need to know his fighting prowess"

"fine, but make it quick" Fiir didn't respond but curled his left hand into a fist, on his gauntlet the central black diamond light up and a beam of pure shadow emerged in the shape of a blade.

"I plan too" then he shadow jumped back to his room

if Vrael trusts him I think we can too Brom frowned for a second mulling it over before responding

maybe, but the name Fiir doesn't fill me with confidence, and he's a shadowmancer, what could they want with the egg?

I don't know little one, but you must get some sleep, if he does fight you, you want to be able to fend him off Brom sighed slightly before finally going to sleep, but Saphira stayed awake thinking about what they knew of the mysterious man. Finally she gave up, hoping that they might find out more on this little adventure of theirs.

"I have reached the riders, sir, my...companion seems nervous of me" the figure before him, in the water didn't react but then he heard the mental voice of his master just as well, be on your guard with this one, I sense that he is more important than his status would suggest "very well sir, I will contact you as soon as it is possible once we have started" his master didn't bother responding but withdrew from the mental contact and Fiir stopped the spell. Then he allowed the shadows to pull him into them, enshrouding and protecting him while he slept.

An the next chapter will be them sparring and the first day. Plz plz plz review
