Chapter 7

Sapphire looked up when she heard roaring and smiled. 'Thank goodness...Arian isn't going to kill Mordecai.' Mordecai and Arian then came flying down from the treetops and landed beside Sapphire.

"Arian has agreed to help me find Alliane." Arian nodded and lowered his head to look Sapphire in the eyes, his own eyes warm like they used to be.

'It's good to see you again Sapphire.'

'You too....Arian.'

'But now is not the time for reunions. Mordecai, are you ready?' Arian knelt down next to Sapphire.

"Always. Sapphire, you're coming with us. You too Aiden. Get on." Aiden came towards his father, looking between him and Arian.

"Father....I...I want to ride with mom." Mordecai nodded his head slowly and gazed at his son.

"Very well Aiden. When you're ready Arian." Aiden climbed into the saddle behind his mother and Arian flew up into the sky, followed by Mordecai.

~With Alliane~

"You can tell me why I'm the only female dragon demon?" Nicolae smiled at her.

"Of course. Isn't it obvious? The dragon demons are an evil race and they are not to be trusted. I mean, come on the evidence is all right in front of you! Your father never wanted a girl as a child. He was aiming for a boy....an heir."

"But my mother said he wanted a way to ensure that his race would continue on."

"Pfft! Don't tell me you believe everything your mother tells you?! The dragon demons are evil and dangerous. Something that powerful shouldn't exist...don't you agree?"

"I...I don't know. The ones I've met seem pretty nice."

"That's because you are the child of their king. If your father truly cared about you, then why did he separate you from your twin?" Alliane froze and lowered her head so she could look him in the eyes.

"He separated us because he believed that Aiden could turn into a dragon demon and that I would end up being like my mother."

"Boy was he wrong....How about this, I teach you all I know and in return you let me be your rider." Alliane drew her head back.

"Dragon demons aren't meant to be like dragons."

"Don't you remember 7 years ago? When the your mother and father led the elves, DragonRiders, dragons, and dragon demons against my father Mardonio? Your mother was riding a dragon demon king."

"That was the only time she ever rode him into battle. After that she was never in the air...feeling the wind. But enough of that, if I agree to this what will happen?"

"Nothing much really. Just that you'll become stronger than your father by a hundred miles." Alliane knelt down and looked at him with a frown.

"Very well. But I better not regret this decision later on."

"Oh you won't....trust me." Nicolae jumped onto Alliane's back and she jumped into the air with a snarl. All ready she felt stronger....and she wasn't really happy at the moment. She was resisting the urge to bite Nicolae and kill him, but she wanted to learn what he has to teach her. She wanted to be an equal to the strongest of dragon demons....meaning her father.

All right review! I know it is short, but this is just setting up later stuff hopefully. If any of you guys missed him, Lykaon is going to show up in the next chapter possibly. Also more stuff is going to happen (obviously). Yes I realize that Eragon, Arya, Murtagh and the other main characters haven't been in it all that much and I will try to fix that ok? Ok review!!
