"You guys ready?"
Eragon shouted to us all. We were in dragon morph all with riders and saddles. On Tobias, Blȯdhgarm. On Rachel, a sorcerer, on Marco an elf, on Ax, another elf, of Jake Roran, on Me Arya, and on Saphira Eragon. I was as Glaedr, and was on Saphira's left flank. Jake on the other side. We were in an arrow formation. We flapped silently in the night.
Hey Cassie?
Jake asked. I remained silent.
Why do they treat you with such respect?
I was a high ranking healer, when I morphed an elf I used magic to heal and I also knew much about herbs and medicine.
We were approaching out target Furnost. Our army was below us almost there. We flapped harder and rode a quick thermal. Our riders strapped themselves in, and we spiraled down. Near the ground we pulled out. We slowed while Saphira went forward. In seconds I heard a massive roar, our signal. We all roared mine the deepest and we charged. Rachel was almost crazed as she destroyed the wall. Empire troops ran out slashing with spears. I bit one in half and blasted the rest with golden flames. I roared and slashed a building to bits with my tail, Arya shot down troops from my back with her sword. She suddenly gasped and I looked up. On the top of a building, a blood red dragon sat, its eyes glinting with rage. His rider watched expressionlessly. I growled and shot a column of flames at him, they swerved and missed, I opened my wings and flapped into the sky. He followed and I roared, I spun and dove down, the dragon opened its mouth,but I stuck out my claws, I grabbed his head in my claws and pushed him down, it looked like I was jumping off him, he turned surprised and my back talons hooked his left wing, he yelped as I pulled him up, I grabbed his neck with my claws and bit down hard. The dragon howled in anger and I heard Arya battle with her sword.
That's all you got runt? Take this!
I growled at him. I pushed off his head as his tail stabbed my back, I grabbed his back right leg as I jumped off and yanked head, I heard a sickening crack as the only thing holding his leg on was hs scales. He screamed in agony, and I felt my back go numb, I hissed and turned face to face with a mad rider holding a blood red sword.
"Glaedr."
He hissed, I roared and lunged at him. My teeth closed on his arm and he dropped his sword, he grunted and shouted something, suddenly we were blasted away, I turned into a dive, the cut on my back hurt more than I realized, blood ran down my side.
Arya, are you all right?
"Yes, You did amazing, no moves a dragon expected. You can tell it was a humans mind."
I dove faster and harder, I saw the sword and clamped it in my mouth, I slowly pulled out of my dive and flapped towards the city. I saw Eragon flying on Saphira, he landed on the ground and I fell next to him.
"Cassandra!"
I growled and dropped the red sword next to him. His face got pale as he looked at me.
"Thorn and Murtagh. She almost ripped his leg off, she was amazing."
Arya said I growled and licked my back. He picked up the sword and put it in his saddlebags.
"Let's fly, we'll take him on together."
Saphira and I burst blue and gold fire into the sky, we flapped up high, she spotted him first. Thorn the dragon charged, I did a summersault whacking the rider with my tail. He grunted and I spun.
Well done!
The rider raised his hand and shouted something, a bolt of black light shot at me, I roared as it hit my sending pain. I charged, Thorn side flapped and bit my flank. Saphira grabbed his tail and ripped out a large chunk. Thorn screeched and let me go; I turned and gutted his underside with my claw. He screeched and the man on the back shouted something at me, I yelped as my wings snapped in many spots. I reached up and grabbed the man from the saddle, I yanked and his saddle broke, he fell with me towards the ground.
Jake! Rachel! Tobias! Ax! Marco! Anyone! Help!
I shouted mentally, closed I got to the ground. Saphira roared trying to fend off Thorn. A flash of blue, and Three dragons caught me.
Wow Cassie, next time, if your wings break don't thrash.
Tobias scolded. Rachel and Jake also caught me, they lowered me to the ground.
"Impossible!"
The man in my claw shouted at us. I silenced him by growling in his face.
"I will heal you Cassandra."
Arya said calmly. My wings itched as my bones were fixed. Saphira dove down and growled at the small rider.
"Well Well, who do we have here."
Eragon said. The riser glared.
"Cassandra you can release him."
I growled but didn't. My legs buckled, pain immense pain, I turned and saw my tail on flames. Thorn ripping into my flesh, I howled and dropped the rider. The dragon hissed and ripped me open from tail to Arya, I yelped and the dragon got his rider and flew away.
