Okay so here's the second chapter of the story.

Chapter 2

"Dam we have been down here for an hour already we have caught nothing" grumbled Estenos who was hiding behind a tree.

"Maybe if you keep it down then you might stop scarring off every single prey out there" Reynor scolded, he was crouched behind a bush in front of Estenos, using the tall bushes in front of him for cover as he tried to spot a deer or an impala.

"Oh shut up maybe if yo…" Estenos was cut off by Reynor shushing him.

"Shhh! I spotted movement up ahead, looks like were gonna get to go back soon enough." Reynor warned as he saw dark shadows moving along the trees in front of him.

Estenos took out an arrow and knocked it on his bow, preparing himself to fire when Reynor gave the signal.

"What in the name?" was what Estenos had heard. He looked over from the cover of his tree to see four small persons, rather chubby, but muscular at the same time, also they had lot of facial hair, especially a long beard.

Estenos was surprised at what he was looking at right now, these…these people were small. Estenos and Reynor both took a quick glance to observe them noticing that they were carrying what appeared to be light armor, swords, bows, and war hammers.

"Hell, what do you want to do man, these guys don't look too friendly." Estenos asked his fellow Reaper who was still taking quick peeks at the unfamiliar beings. What they did not know was that these small people were dwarfs and they ruled these mountains.

"I don't know, maybe it's best if we relocate ourselves." Reynor suggested, getting a nod from Estenos.

The two Reapers started to back up slowly, taking careful steps, making sure they didn't step on a twig or and old leave that would make enough sound for those small people to look towards their direction.

Just when the two humans thought that they were going to get away, a deer burst out from behind them running by the tow and towards the dwarfs taking a swift turn away from the four small people.

"Oh crap" both Estenos and Reynor said at the same time.

The dwarfs spotted them, "Soldiers from the empire, Quick kill them!" A dwarf shouted as the other three started to charge at the two Reapers. The dwarf that shouted the order then took out a horn and blew on it making a loud intimidating sound causing birds and other wild life in the forest to scatter.

"Ok that's our signal lets get out of here" Estenos said as the he turned around and started to run back to the mountain they had come from with Reynor tailing him.

Reynor caught up to Estenos, "I think were in big trouble."

"What makes you say that?" Estenos replied frustrated at the comment Reynor made, this was no time make silly jokes.

"I am serious, that horn they blew maybe that was a signal for the others to join in the chase." Reynor told Estenos as the two ran, weaving past trees and jumping fallen logs, they were nearing the mountain side from where they had come from.

"Do you really…think so?" Estenos said as he strained to talk while running and doing all sorts of things to dodge any obstacle.

"Yeah I am sure." was Reynor's only reply.

Estenos growled, "If you are right, I am going to hit you on the head" Estenos warned, he knew that Reynor was right in these sort of thing, oh how much he hated that.

Reynor only smiled as the two got closer to the mountain side.

Once they the two made it out of the forest into clearing of the mountain side they proceeded to climb it when an arrow landed right next to Reynor's foot. The tow Reapers looked down at the arrow, looking back up they saw at least a dozen small people(dwarfs) coming out from the tress into the clearing holding up their weapons.

"Halt, do not move unless you want to find an arrow stuck in your throat." Warned one of the dwarfs who had a war-hammer, waving it as a signal for the other dwarfs to aim their arrows at the two Reapers.

"Sorry no can do, we have other things to do, so I suggest that you move out the way or might have to use force to comply with us." Estenos warned himself.

"Hahaha" The dwarf laughed, "You really think you can get away, you must be out your mind."

Reynor and Estenos looked at each other, Reynor had a grin on his face. Estenos clearly knew what his fellow Reaper was about to do.

Reynor, with a quick draw took a few smoke pellets and threw them in front of the dwarfs. A smoke quickly appeared causing the dwarfs to cough and loose sight of the two Reapers.

Reynor took this chance he created and ran past the dwarfs pushing two down on the way. Estenos quickly started to climb up the mountain, he needed to warn his comrade so they can find and assist Reynor, that's if he didn't kill all those small people.

Reynor kept on running when he saw five new dwarfs heading for him, he quickly changed his direction and head west, staying close by the mountain side, he didn't want stray of to far from the mountain where the other Reapers where located.

The Reaper ran and stop a couple of times to see if he was still being followed, when he saw dwarfs appear in the distance he growled and started to run again. The amount of trees started to thin out when he found himself running towards a cliff were a waterfall was flowing down on it as the river besides him provided the water.

Reynor stopped at the edge of the cliff, it was at least a 100 foot drop. He turned around to see the five dwarfs catching up to him. In three minutes the dwarfs arrived holding their swords out at him ready to strike.

"Surrender human, or prepare to meet your maker!" A dwarf shouted at him.

Reynor shook his head, "I have done nothing wrong, so if you excuse me I am on my way, and if you follow me you will me no choice but to kill all of you."

"You are outnumbered, you won't survive." The dwarf commented.

"True, but you are outmatched" Reynor shot back.

The dwarf frowned, "Alright men, kill him." At this order the dwarfs started to close in on the Reaper.

Reynor knew if he was to win this fight, he had to spread out the dwarfs and attack them one by one. He took out his long sword from his back and took a fighting stance.

The closest dwarf rushed at him, a sword at hand and swung for Reynor's chest. Reynor blocked it and use his shoulder to ram the dwarf sending him to the ground. He then blocked another sword heading straight for his head, he kicked the dwarf in the stomach and he moved on to the next opponent. Reynor continued to block and push the dwarfs to the ground but when the dwarfs recovered and got up Reynor found himself surrounded by dwarfs from all side.

"Time to die" a dwarf said as they all closed in for the kill.

Reynor quickly charged up his hand with magic, his hand glowing with green energy and slammed in on the ground causing a wave of green to spread out all around him. When the green magic came in contact with the dwarfs it sent them flying off, the five dwarfs hit the ground hard.

Reynor looked at them and smiled, they would be up soon, it would be best if climbed down the cliff and go all round to the other side of the mountain. So with that in mind, Reynor started to climb down the cliff with the waterfall on his side, wetting him slightly from the water that was bouncing off the rocks.

Estenos had quickly climbed up the mountain and saw that a fire was already blazing with three Reapers sitting around it. The three Reapers looked at Estenos as he came up to them looking really tired.

"Estenos, where's the food, wait…where's Reynor?" Heth asked.

Estenos tried to catch his bread, "He…we got into…we got engaged by these…small people."

"What? Small people?...never mind, Estenos you stay here with Lorik, me and Rokai will head out to look for him, where did he head too?" Heth said looking at Estenos

"West, he headed west." Estenos replied as he took a seat next to the fire.

Reynor was half way down the cliff when an arrow zipped past his head and rebounded on a rock below him. He looked up to see the dwarfs shooting from the edge of the cliff, he cursed himself for not killing them when he had the chance.

He edged closer when he lost footing, he desperately tried to hold on but he lost balance and fell to the river that was below him. Reynor hit the water with a hard splash loosing consciousness, he started to flow down the river to where it ever may lead

Thirty minutes later…

Reynor was washed up on a bank where the river ended, around him was a large clearing trees on one side and a mountain on the other side. Behind him was a rather large cave where two emerald eyes looked down at the human that had washed up on its territory.

It slowly started to walk out, a black scaly leg appearing, followed by another, a snout appeared with sharp teeth in its mouth and two horn jetting out of its head, a semi long neck appearing with rest of the body, wings and tail and back legs.

Reynor eyes started to open his vision blurry, he could only tell the outlines of objects that's why he did not get scared when a dark image loomed over him, he noticed it had a reptilian shape head, two horn, and these emerald eyes. All he could say, "What beautiful eyes." Before loosing consciousness.

The black dragoness was stunned at what she heard, this human, he had called her beautiful or more so her eyes but that enough to sent shivers of joy through her body. Maybe she can keep him after all. So the black dragoness decided to take the human back to her cave.

This act would change the two lives forever.

Okay so next chapter will have Eragon and Saphira
