A/N sorry it took so long to update. I have just finished my grounding sentence of one month. I am sorry for keeping everyone waiting. I don't Own Eragon ( Just to let everyone know Eragon the MOVIE is coming out december 18th, I beleive)
Lexi woke to find a pink shade draping over her. She leaned against his belly and tickled Agret right behind his wing joint. He was soon awake. His wings, eyes and spikes were a very bright yellow. Lexi could feel happiness radiating from Agret's mind.
With her mind lexi reached out to all the elves trying to find the right person. Ah there she was Ayra? Lexi said with her mind.
Yes, lexi this is Ayra. How can I help you?
Well can you show me where to go to get to my first test?
Ya Ayra sent lexi many pictures to lead to the sparring fields. Are you gonna come? Ayra said through their mental connection. But all she got was a wall. Oh where did that girl go Ayra thought to herself. Closing her eyes trying to feel lexi aura among the elves. Ayra could not sense her anywhere. She felt a tap on her right shoulder she opened her eyes and turned her head to her right but no one was there. She couldn't help but hear the stifled laughter of a certain 14 year old human who was standing on her left side. Ayra looked at the girl who was practically rolling on the ground laughing at her little trick. She saw a circle of elves forming around them. Ayra could not understand why the elves did not sense that the immense power that was in the air was Lexi's not Agret's.
On her jog to the sparring field she heard some of the elves saying "why do we have another stupid human rider on our hands, much less a stupid women, no GIRL, human rider." She heard others talking about her in the same manner some much less crude and some even more. I will show them what a stupid Girl Human can do thought Lexi.
"Ok, lexi unsheathe your sword we will have you fight another elf around your same age and gender" Ayra said. As lexi unsheathed her sword, out stepped an elf girl that was about her own age, I will go fairly easy on her Lexi thought.
The elf girl unsheathed a normal steel bladed sword. "I am lexi" Lexi said the elf girl.
"Oh I am Erea, pleased to meet you Lexi" Erea said. She had a smug grin on her face "I will go easy on you because you have never been in real combat and you are a human girl" Erea said the later part very quietly but Lexi heard it. Her eyes changed to the color blood red. CALM yourself lexi. Just act as though you do not know what you are doing then kick her ass.
You are right Agret. What would I do with out you?
Erea had heard about lexi's eyes changed color with her mood. "Oh is the little bitty human girl angry? Are you going to sit there and stare all day or are you going to fight?"
Most of the elves that were encircling the two girls were shocked at what Erea had said. Although most of them were thinking it, no one would ever dare say it to human's face.
The fight began Erea circled a still lexi. Erea charged holding her sword high above her head. When she swung down her sword just swished through the air. She felt something hard against her throat and realized that lexi could have already killed for she was standing behind Erea with the blade of her sword against Erea throat. Lexi leaned in a little and whispered in her ear " if you ever talk to me that way again I will not go so easy on you the next time we spar" with that lexi started to walk away.
"You Coward. Agret's egg should not have hatched for you. You are unworthy of the title rider. Besides you are just a stupid little helpless human girl and your dragon was stupid for choosing you to bee his rider!" Area yelled to lexi.
Lexi turned around her eyes now danced with fire. Lexi please stop she is just a stupid elf girl.
No I will not be treated like I am a small child and she had no right to call you stupid. She will wish she had never said that. And with Lexi blocked out her mind to everyone, even Agret.
Agret was still up in there tree house. He knew what lexi was going to do to that elf girl if he did not get there in time he took of
Lexi felt the silver fire starting to engulf her mind. To the elves around her she just looked like she was in a meditation. Her eyes snapped open they saw a silver fire that danced in her eyes. They blinked again and she was now engulfed in a silver flame they did not feel any heat radiating off the flame at all.
Erea looked at what her words had done she saw that lexi was now had a silver flame engulfing her. You could see the outline of her body with in the flames. Lexi was walking toward her. Erea turned to run but before she could lexi was standing 10 ft in front of her.
Ayra, Ayra screamed Agret from his mind
Yes Agret Ayra replied she could feel that he was scared, not for his rider but for what she might do, what is wrong Agret?
It is lexi run to the sparring fields right now. She is engulfed in a silver fire. It will not her you. It only burns those she means to hurt. I can not get though her mental wall. If she tells you to back off you should listen to her and let go other wise you will be burned. If you do not let go you will get burned and she is the only one who can heal you of the burns.
Ayra was already running toward the sparring fields. She gracefully jump over the crowd and landed between Lexi and Erea. She cautiously walked up to lexi grabbing her shoulder through the silver flame. Agret was right it did not hurt her at all. "Lexi listen to me, you must calm down now." Ayra said the fire was starting to tingle "come on lexi you do not want to hurt me. You must calm down NOW" the fire around lexi started to lessen until it was just her.
"Erea if you ever come near me or my dragon, you will not be so lucky next time. Do you HEAR ME! So I suggest you leave. "Lexi said her voice was filled with rage and hate... Lexi's eyes were red with black around the edge of the red. She stormed off to the direction of her tree house the elven crowd parted for along the way.
She ran up the stairs to her room. There she lay on the bed crying for what seemed like hours but was only a few minutes. While crying she let down her mind walls to Agret.
Agret what have I done.
I do not know. I do not know my lex
What if she was right Agret? What if I was not meant to have your egg? What if…..
There is no what ifs….. Lexi I chose you to be my rider. Do you want to know why I chose you?
Yes
I chose you because you were brave and bold but compassionate you persevered even though you had nothing I like how when you held my stone you thought naught of selling me but keeping me because I was so beautiful. Because I loved you from the moment you touched my egg.
Thank you Agret. I do not know what I would do with out you. Just then there was a knock on the door. Lexi felt whose mind was at the door. It was Ayra's.
"Come in" lexi said
"What happened out there? All the elves who were there thought you were going to kill Erea. What did she say that made you so mad?" Ayra said "I also wanted to know if you were alright?"
"She basically said I was a stupid human girl that did not deserve Agret. She also called Agret stupid" replied lexi "yes I am fine now. I am sorry that I even thought of burning you Ayra. I just don't like to hear other Elves talking about me in such a way that it seems like I am the scum of the earth…I mean ….Alagaesia" lexi hung her head down in such a way you could only see her silver hair.
Ayra gently lifted Lexi's eyes so that they were level with her own "Look at me lexi. I know this must be a little scary for you but we must train you in the sword, the bow and magic. I can feel the power radiating from your skin. It hurts me to see you this hurt lexi. I know you are only 14 years old, a babe in elf years but you act as if you are my age. I have only known you for a few days but it feels as though we have known each other a life time, does it not?"
"Ya it feels that way. Ayra, you are like the only family I have ever had except for Agret of course."
"From now on I will personally train you in the art of the sword and the bow. I will also teach you magic." Ayra said
"But what if that happens again Ayra. What if I spazz out again. I really don't want to hurt you."
"I know you won't, lexi. You are something special and if I am the only one who sees it fine, we will just prove them wrong. "
"Ayra Will you please stay here with me for a while I am so scared right now. I could have killed that girl and not cared"
Ayra and lexi talked this way into the night finally lexi fell asleep on Ayra shoulder.
What am I going to do you with you Lexi Ayra thought to herself you are so young but so powerful. I believe your story you told at the beginning, even if no one else did. I will make sure no harm comes to you lexi. With that Ayra was fast asleep.
