Everyone turned around as a single horn sounded, followed by the thrum of wing beats.
'Ayiana, it's Thorn and Murtagh, we are found out now.' Kveykva said.
"Then let us give them reason to fear us and warm our tired muscles in battle." Ayiana said as she jumped into the saddle, strapped herself in, and pulled out her sword, Sundavar.
With a loud roar Kveykva jumped into the air and flew into battle against Thorn and Murtagh joyously. If the two were surprised at the sight of them they did not show it, they just flew on to meet them.
'Well, how shall we deal with these two, oh rider of mine?' Kveykva asked.
'Huh, I was thinking that we try to scare them a little, see if that works. What do you think my mighty dragon?' Ayiana replied, holding back a soft laugh.
Revealing her large teeth in a feral grin, Kveykva glanced back at Ayiana with a glint in her eye. Spinning her giant head around to face the two she growled playfully and sped through the air to meet them. When it became obvious to Murtagh and Thorn that Kveykva was much closer that she appeared, Thorn glanced over his shoulder and continued forward cautiously. It wasn't long before Ayiana and Murtagh were almost right next to each other as the two dragons passed by, getting a better look at the other.
"Who are you?" Murtagh asked.
"Our names mean little to you," Ayiana replied. "We have seen much more than you can imagine, felt much more pain, and still we fight for the truth. Why do you fight for a madman?" She asked calmly.
"We did not choose this path! We were forced to swear loyalty to Galbatorix!" Murtagh yelled.
"Then the day you gain your freedom shall be the day we become allies. Until then we are enemies." Ayiana said as she unsheathed her sword.
Murtagh scanned Kveykvas enormous size while his hand reached for his sword. Suddenly, Thorn reared up and flew off towards Uru'baen.
Sheathing her sword as Kveykva landed in front of the group of people standing outside of Nasuadas' tent, Ayiana decided that the best course of action now was to get their armor immediately from the dwarves. When Kveykva landed Ayiana slid off her side and quickly went to the group.
"Contact Orik, tell him we leave for Farthen Dur now and will be arriving in a day or two." Ayiana said.
"I will relay your message." Nasuada said. "Good luck on your journey and may your swords stay sharp."
"May all your swords stay sharp and may your flame burn hot, Saphira." Ayiana said as she settled back into the saddle.
Ushering a small roar Kveykva took to the air and flew into the Beor Mountains, straight for Farthen Dur.
