This Chapter was hard to make, the ending was the hardest to write. But don't stop reading just because of it. The story will get better I promise. Enjoy

Chapter 4

Grace and Draco captured?

Ok, tell me, how did you found two more dragons by the Spine? Galbatorix asked.

Well, one of my scouts saw them starting to race each other. Murtagh said.

Oh really, they must be free wild dragons. I want you to track them down and bring them to me. Galbatorix said.

But you said that you can't control wild dragons, only riders' dragons. Murtagh said.

In a way I can't, but if I have both of them I can make the strongest of the two work for me. By torturing the other dragon. Galbatorix said with an evil laugh. This shocked both Thorn and Murtagh.

Yes master we will bring them to you as soon as we can. Murtagh said.

Will you two need any more Hearts of hearts, I have a few more I can spare. Galbatorix said.

Yes we could, these two dragons may be too much for us in a current shape. Murtagh said

Ok I will be right back. Galbatorix said as he left the room leaving Murtagh and Thorn once again along in his throne room.

Do you think that this is right to bring the two wild dragons here? Thorn asked

Sorry, but we are bonded by our oath, or I would keep those two safe. Murtagh said just Galbatorix walked back into the room with four more Hearts of Hearts.

Ok when two leave be sure to stop by the saddle maker and have him make you a new saddle that can hold all of these Hearts of hearts.

When Thorn had his new saddle made, they then went back to his soldiers.

We are going after the two dragons that the scout saw. Murtagh said to his small army.

Where are the dragons at? Said one of the soldier.

We are going to search the Spine, which is where they were seen last. And then we will head north to Du Weldenvarden. Murtagh said with a grin on his face.

What are you thinking? Thron asked him.

Thorn there is a chance that one the two dragons is a female. Murtagh said.

But Galbatorix might not let me mate with this female if there is one. Thorn said sadly.

I will try and get us free from that mad man, but right now his grip is way too strong for the both of us. Murtagh said with hope in his voice.

Ok, but the king might tighten his grip on us if one of them is a female. Thorn said sadly.

He just may, well let's start our search for them. Murtagh said.

Ok. Thorn said.

Grace and Draco woke up somewhere in the Great Forest.

What happened? Grace asked Draco.

I don't know, the last thing I remember is flying close to city. Then everything went black after that, Draco replied. But my head hurts and I can't move.

Me too, Grace said as she struggled to get up.

I wouldn't do that if I was you. Said an unknown dragon. You will just hurt yourselves.

Who are you, and what do you want. Draco said very mad.

My name is Gleadr. Said a big golden dragon who was standing above them. Oromis they are awoke now.

Good now we can find out where they came from. Oromis said back to his dragon, he turned to an elf. Go get the Queen, tell her they are awake now. The elf bowed and then ran off to get the Queen.

I won't ask again, what do you want? Draco said getting really pissed at the two standing in front of them.

What are your names, dragons. Oromis asked kindly.

My name is Draco. Said Draco.

My name is Grace. Said Grace.

My, what a beautiful name, Grace. Gleadr said to the young dragoness.

Thank you. Said Grace who blushed slightly.

Before you ask again, we want to if you are working for Galbatorix. Oromis said.

Who? Both dragons asked.

Just then Queen Islandazi came to a halt next to Oromis. "What did I miss?" she said.

This one on the right is Draco and the one on the left is, Grace who is a female. Oromis said.

How do you know that Grace is female. Queen Islandazi asked.

Because I can smell her scent. Gleadr said which made Grace blush even more.

Where did you come from? She asked the two dragons.

We came from a far away land in the control of an EVIL KING, but Grace is the last free female dragon from our land.

What do you mean "the last free female" are there others. She asked.

Yes, but the other females is under the control of the king. Draco said wondering can he trust these three strangers.

Who is Galbatorix? Grace asked.

He is the king in control of most the land in Alagaesia. Will you help us defeat him. She asked.

I don't know, but can I ask you something. Draco said, but Grace knew what he was going to ask.

Sure what is it? She replied.

Where is the female dragon that is said to be here? Draco asked which surprise everyone but Grace.

How do you know that there is a female here? She asked.

I can smell her scent all over the mountains to the southwest of here. Draco said.

Do you know her name? She asked.

No what is her name? Draco asked.

Her name is Saphira. She replied

I know this may seem weird, but does she have a mate? Draco asked

No, she doesn't the only male close enough to mate with her is evil. She said, she notices that he looked happier after she said that.

See Grace. Draco said only to her.

Ok, I guess you are right, for once. Grace said.

Will you help us or not hatchling? Gleadr said

Is Saphira here with you here? Draco asked annoying Gleadr's question.

No, she is very far to the south helping the Varden against the king's army. Queen Islandazi said.

We were going the wrong way. He said to Grace.

Sorry Draco, you want to see her don't you. Grace said.

Yes. Draco said. Can you let us go, me and Grace are going to head south so I can see my future mate.

No, not yet. She said firmly to the two dragons.

AND WHY NOT? Draco said still anger.

Because we need to tell about everything that has happened here, so that you can help us even more. She replied plainly.

Ok fine, but if it takes more than TWO DAYS, I will kill you. Draco said which startled everyone including Grace.

What is wrong, it isn't like its mating season yet? Gleadr said to the young dragon.

I know, but I want to see her before it comes. Draco said a little on the verge of attacking to get loose.

I see, well how much do you know about mating young hatchling? Gleadr asked.

All I need to know, my father told me tons of important things needed to survive as a wild dragon. Draco said.

That makes things a lot easier now. Ok, we can start telling you what you need to know about the evil king and how to get to Saphira safely. Gleadr said, Draco was glad that there is a safe path to his future mate.

Ok now where to begin. Gleadr said, with both dragons eager to know what the big golden dragon knew.

A day later at Carvahall

Ok, Thorn can you tell where they went from here. Murtagh asked him.

Yes, after they got done with their race they lay down here, but then headed off to The Forest, with fear. Thorn said happy at this, these two dragons fear us and the king.

We are too late, they might have reached the elves by now, Galbatorix isn't going to like this. Murtagh said as he created the spell to speak with his master.

What did you find? Galbatorix said.

We have found that they are in the elf's domain. Murtagh said hoping not to get yelled at.

This will still work. Ok, here is what I want you to do. Fly as fast as you can and you will find some soldiers at Bullridge. Then head to the east and set a trap for the two dragons. Just catch one of them, don't worry I have found out how to control the dragon. Galbatorix said a little annoyed that the two dragons mangled to get to the elves.

Yes, master I will get one of them. Murtagh said with confidence.

They maybe a little more protective when you meet, because the elves will have sure of told them me and you. Galbatorix said.

Yes master, we are on our way. Murtagh said then ended the spell, and turned to his men. "Ok I want of all you to head back to Uru'bean I will see you when I get back.

I see we have a long journey ahead of us. Thorn said

Yes we done. Murtagh said as he climbs onto him. Now let's fly as fast as we can.

It will be my pleasure. Thorn said as he took off, he can't wait to see the two dragons.

Ok, are you sure that flying that close to the empire. Gleadr said hoping to convince them to take another route.

Yes I am sure, Grace will be fine. I will not let that evil king take her or me. Draco said proudly.

Yes, I am with Draco, plus I want to see Saphira as well. Grace said firmly.

Ok, just please be careful. Who knows where Thorn and Murtagh are. Gleadr said with a lot of concern in his voice.

Don't Gleadr I am the strongest dragon of the two of us. And if Galbatorix tries to take Grace he will feel my full power. Draco said very proudly.

It is true, I may be the fastest, but he is the strongest dragon I know. Besides the king's dragon in our land. Grace said, which made Draco happy that she said that.

What do you mean "besides the king's dragon"? Gleadr said.

She means that his dragon and him have powers no one dragon rider should have. He has the powers from almost every dragon rider he killed. We know dragon secrets even you don't know Gleadr. Draco said which made Gleadr mad that a few hatchlings know something he doesn't.

Then impress me with your wisdom? Gleadr asked.

We have learned how to use some of our dragon magic at will. Draco said while laughing at all of there faces.

WHAT? How can you, it is impossible. Gleadr said in anger tone.

What do you mean by "at will"? Oromis asked more calm than his dragon.

Me and Grace can show you better than we can tell you. Draco said as he and Grace started to meld a sapphire sword with incredible power out of the minerals around them. Leaving everyone in shock and awe at their power. When the sword was finished it hovered over to Oromis who grabbed it.

What a beautiful blade? Oromis said in awe as he started to swing the sword. "It is so light and yet so strong. How did you two do that? Oromis asked as he place the blade in front of the two dragons.

We hadn't done that in a while. Draco said as he collapsed with Grace landing on top of him laughing.

Yes, that did take a lot of energy, but not too much. Grace said getting back up, then started helping Draco up.

Thanks Grace. Draco said.

Are you two alright? Oromis said very concern.

Yes we are alright, we still can fly very far, it just it has been a long time since we did it last. Draco said who was happy when Oromis's worry look went away from his face. But he knew that it wasn't gone from his mind.

Ok, have a safe trip, and give that sword to Eragon for me. Oromis asked kindly of the two dragons.

Ok, I am sure Eragon will love it. Grace said. Draco walk over and picked up the sword in his left front claw.

See you later Gleadr and Oromis. Grace and Draco said, then take off to the south, to the Varden.

The traps are set mighty Thorn and Murtagh. Said the soldier in charge of the trap.

Good, the dragons won't know what hit them. One of them will be Galbartorix's new dragon. Murtagh said evilly as Thorn started to laugh.

I want you to aim for the smaller of the two dragons. Thorn said to all of the soldiers.

Why the smallest for, Thorn? One of the soldiers said.

Because the smallest one will be the female, if we can get her, I might be able to be her mate. Thorn said.

Ok, we will get the female for you Thorn. The lead soldier said.

Good, I can't wait to find out what she looks like. Thorn said which amused his rider.

You really want a mate don't you. Murtagh said.

Yes, I want a mate very soon, plus she will be under the king's control.

A half a day later

I don't see what Oromis and Gleadr were worried about. Draco said, but at that moment Grace suddenly was attack by a lot of binding magic.

GRACE! Draco yelled very mad at what just happened.

DRACO IT IS MURTAGH AND THORN! Grace yelled struggling against the magic bonds being put around her. Just then Draco saw a red dragon and flew towards it at speed that surprised Thorn, he hadn't seen a dragon move that fast that .

LET HER GO NOW OR I WILL KILL YOU! Draco yelled just as Thorn said. You can't sto… Thorn started to said justas Draco hit him so hard, Murtagh almost flew off of his dragon.

OWWW, HOW DARE YOU! Thorn said trying to get back at the dragon and mangle to just scratch him.

YOU ARE GOING TO DIE NOW! Draco said as he bitted down hard on the red dragon's back, which cause him to roar in pain. Draco used his tail and sent Murtagh flying off his dragon.

NO! Thorn said as he kicked Draco to make him let go of him.

OWW! He hits really hard. Murtagh said as he looked at where Draco had hit him, which had broken some of his ribs. Thorn just mangled to get him close to the ground. Thorn had just put him down when he was hit again by the dragon.

I SAID LET GRACE GO OR YOU DIE! Draco said as he put two big deep gashes along the red dragon's back.

OWW! NO I WILL NOT RELEASE HER! Thorn yelled as he roared in pain at the big cuts he had. Why did the wards not work? Murtagh asked he thought that he had put enough of them on both of him and Thorn. How is this dragon that strong? He asked again just as Thorn was kicked very hard in the side which sent him flying over Murtagh and land on his back.

THORN NO! Murtagh said as he tried to get up only to collapse just 3 feet later as he was hit again with Draco's tail.

Don't worry about me Draco it is useless just get to Saphira, but don't forget to come and free me. Grace said as she was on the ground being pinned down by magic. NO GRACE! Draco said as he started to fly to her leaving the dragon rider and his dragon severely injured and not a threat anymore.

NO LEAVE AND COME BACK WITH HELP, YOU HAVE TO! Grace said very sadly which made him stop in-midair. I will be fine I promise. Just help the Varden end this war and save me.

But, Grace I made a promise to protect you at all costs. Draco said very sad that Grace is telling him to leave her to work for that evil king. I know, but even you can't take the king on alone. Get the Varden and free me, or I fear that I may be forced to mate with that red dragon by the king himself. Grace said in a sad but a little hopeful voice.

Ok, but this is for you Grace. When I see the king I will kill him myself. Draco said crying as he flew and kicked the red dragon even harder than before. He started to fly to the Varden ALONE, crying even harder on the inside and out.

Chapter 5 will be up soon, in the next couple of days. The ending was sad right, Just what I was thinking when I was writing it. Still need Dragon names and Please review I want to know how I am doing on this story.
