Chapter 5
The whole Story is told
Murtagh… MURTAGH, MURTAGH? Galbatorix yelled in a tone of voice that isn't like him. He had a fear that Murtagh and Thorn are dead. If this is true, then he would not be able to take down the Varden with just two dragons.
Murtagh heard a far away voice very concerned about him. Galbatorix is that you? Murtagh said very weakly trying to get up.
Oh thank god, what happened? Galbatorix for the first time more concerned how his dragon rider is. If he loses him he will lose the war.
A big, VERY strong male dragon happened. Murtagh said coughing up blood, he then look over at Thorn and was horrified at the sight of his dragon. THORN! Murtagh said running 10 feet before falling on his face. THORN SAID SOMETHING! Murtagh said as he mangled to get over to his dragon. Galbatorix heard this and asked. What happened to Thorn Murtagh? Galbatorix said.
THORN, SPEAK TO ME, THORN! Murtagh asked very scared that his dragon is dead. You don't have to yell. Thorn said very weakly. Oh Thorn, Murtagh said throw his arms around his dragon. Are you alright. Murtagh asked but knew the answer. No, that dragon is very strong. How did he break all the wards you put on us with ONE HIT! Thorn said in an annoyed tone remembering what the male did to him. I don't know Thorn, you are going to bleed to death if those deep cuts are not healed. Murtagh said to Galbatorix and Thorn.
Very well I will move both of you here with the dragon I hoped you caught. Galbatorix said. For the first time in Murtagh's life he felt real fear, the fear of losing his best friend and dragon. Yes, we got the female for you master. Can you please get us back as quickly as you can? Thorn has two big very deep cuts alone his back, plus broken ribs from where the male dragon had kicked him. Murtagh said as he and the two dragons were lifted into the air, then they flew across the land toward Uru'baen faster than any dragon.
Draco has been flying non-stop to get to the Varden. Grace, why did it have to be you, WHY NOT ME! Draco thought as he roared. He could now see a bunch of tents which is what Gleadr told him to look for. Finally, I can rest, wait who is that? Draco said surprised when he felt Saphira's mind near a lake.
Eragon do you feel that it might be a dragon. Saphira said to Eragon as the lead elf of his 12 eleven guards, Blodhgarm said. There is a dragon approaching here and fast. A dragon? How would it know that we are here? Eragon asked. "I don't know, but we will soon find out. Blodhgarm said just as a black dragon with a gray belly, wing membranes, and a spear tail blade with a sword in his left claw came down to land.
Just then Saphira attack him thinking that he was Shruikan. OWW, Draco said as she ran into his side. I am on your side I AM NOT SHRUIKAN! Draco said which caused Saphira to stop and stare at the black dragon in front of her. Who are you? Saphira asked. My name is Draco and I am very tired. Draco said as he landed in front of Eragon. When Saphira landed she noticed that Draoc was crying. What is wrong? Saphira asked. Galbatorix has a new dragon now. Draco said crying which caused panic in everyone. What do you mean another dragon? Saphira asked confused. Just give me a minute. Draco said.
Ok I came from a far away with another dragon as my friend, her name is Grace, we heard that there was a female dragon here. So we went to look for, well YOU. Draco said pointing at Saphira. On our way to here from Gleadr and Oromis, we were attack by THORN AND MURTAGH! Draco said in an angry but sad tone. You were attack? Saphira asked. Yes, but I won very easily. I left them severely hurt, without me getting hurt, but that is not the worst part, THEY TOOK GRACE! Draco said in a sad tone and started to cry again.
It is okay, we will help you get Grace back. Saphira said just as Arya came running at them. We need Eragon to, Arya started to see when she saw the black dragon. It is Shruikan, kill him. Her guards moved in with spears to attack Draco. What is the matter with girls and black dragons around here, Draco thought. NO YOU WILL NOT! Saphira said as she landed in between the soldiers and Draco. Why, he is evil, men get ready to attack. I SAID NOOO! Saphira said as she hit five of them with her tail. THIS IS NOT SHRUIKAN, HIS NAME IS DRACO! Saphira roared at them which caused Arya to take several steps back. "What is wrong with you Saphira that is SHRUIKAN, why you are protecting him? Arya said mad at what she is doing.
ENOUGH ALL OF YOU, BEFORE I THROW ALL OF YOU IN THE LAKE AS HARD AS I CAN, WHAT SAPHIRA SAYS IS TRUE! Draco roared so loud that Nasuada heard it 5 leagues away. This SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF EVERYONE. Enough fighting all of you. Draco said a little calmer, everyone took 20 steps back including Saphira. Everyone scare of the black dragon now. Ok are you all done arguing. Now if you don't mind I am going to take nap, now I don't want any fighting when I am asleep, and if any of you wake me up unless if you have to, now let me sleep.
Whoa, that was very scary. Saphira said still very frighten by Draco.
No kidding he scared the crap out of me. Eragon said. Now what did you want Arya before you attacked Draco. Eragon said. The dwarf clan will meet in about a week. Nasuada needs you to get Orik as the new king. Arya said who was also very frightened by Draco. Can Saphira go? Eragon said hoping for a yes. No sorry, if Saphira goes Galbatorix's army could attack if they know you are not here, but maybe Draco here can take you there. That way you will still be protected since they don't know about him yet. Arya suggested. He may not go right now after what you did. Saphira said sadly. Well, I will stay here and said sorry to him when he wakes back up.
As Saphira watch she notice that he had only scratches from his fight with Thorn. How did he defeat Thorn and Murtagh alone when we couldn't do it? Saphira asked her rider. I don't know, but he does look very strong, I wonder what does Grace look like. Eragon said.
When Thorn, Murtagh, and Grace got to Galbatorix's castle, he was standing outside waiting.
What a nice looking dragon aren't you? Galbatorix said as they landed.
So you are Galdatorix then, it will be nice to see you die. Grace said in an anger tone. You will not be able to stop Draco from saving me.
Draco? Murtagh who is this Draco? Galbatorix asked.
Not now can you not see what has happened to THORN! Murtagh said mad that he didn't think of his dragon first.
What happened to Thorn? Galbatorix asked very shocked at the way he looked.
Draco happened, he broke through all of our wards like they were nothing to him. Murtagh said. He took me out with one hit of his tail.
And kicked me so hard I felt almost all of my ribs broken just from one kick. Thorn said which made Galbatorix even more shocked.
AND WHY DID YOU NOT TAKE HIM, IF HE IS SO STRONG! Galbatorix yelled.
Because you won't be able to control Draco, he would be way too strong for your men. Grace said with poison in her voice to the evil king.
Silence you. Galbatorix said as he caused her pain all over her body.
AHHHHH! Grace roared as she collapsed onto the ground in unbearable pain. Oh Draco please come and save me. She thought to herself.
Now be quiet, or I will do it again. Galbatorix turned back to Thorn. Now let's get you healed Thorn so that I can make you stronger than that Draco.
Yes master. Thorn said sadly.
Two hours later
YOU WILL OBEY ME OR ELSE. Galbatorix said causing Grace more pain.
AHHHHHHHHHH! Grace roared with tears in her eyes. Oh DRACO WHERE ARE YOU.
When will he woke up? I am losing my patience. Arya said very irritated.
Ha. Draco said sitting up laughing.
What is so funny? Arya asked the black dragon.
What's funny is that I have been up for 30 minutes. I heard you three arguing so I decided that I would listen in. Draco said while falling over laughing at Arya's mad face.
So you are TELLING ME YOU HAVE BEEN UP THAT LONG AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO TELL US? Arya said very mad at the dragon.
Yes, that is exactly what I am saying, well I find it funny. Draco said he knew Grace would think it was funny which made him start to cry again.
Sorry, I didn't mean to make you again. Arya said worried that it was her fault.
No it isn't your fault. It is my fault that Grace is now working for that evil king. Draco said which made him cry harder.
Now, don't beat yourself up. Saphira said as she smacked him with her tail. You did all you could, now it is time to get her back. You can't do that if you are crying here saying it was your fault.
Ok, I just need to keep my mind on other things. Draco said cheering up. Thanks, Saphira. Now I want to tell you about my past.
The Land of Paradise
It was peaceful, dragons flying everywhere with not a care in the world. We played with elves, and dwarfs. This is what my father lived in. The dragons didn't have to worry about a king or anyone telling them what to do. Then the dragon riders came. The elves made a bond with us to have some of our eggs to be dragons for dragon riders. Some of us including me and Grace were wild dragons not bond to anyone. About 20 dragons were still free from the dragon riders, eight of them were female. There were 45 dragon riders in their little peace keeping order.
That is until one killed a fellow rider, because he was bested in sword fighting tournament. He knew a secret that a werecat told him. It was how to take a dragon rider and his/her dragon's power and use it as his own power. After he killed his first, but not last, dragon rider he took both their powers from their dead bodies. His power and strength increased, so he decided to do it again, but this time he slit another fellow rider in his sleep. He and his dragon loved the power, so they entered the same tournament they lost in. When they defeated a rider, they would sneak in and kill them in their sleep, steal their power. They final made it to the finals. The other rider fought bravely, but could not defeat him. In fact he got carried away and KILLED him in front of EVERYONE. The king didn't like what they had done and banished them from the order, the kingdom, forbidden to step foot in the kingdom ever again.
So they traveled far to the great mountains of the world. They hid in there sucking the life out of every animal they could find. When a dragon rider was sent in to find certain things, he would never return to the kingdom. Only two more were sent in, but like the first one, they never returned.
Only after 20 years did they come out of hiding, only to take down the king and the dragon riders. They were so strong now that not even the king and the remaining dragon riders could take him and his evil dragon. The land was once a paradise was no more. As the evil monster killed and took the powers from all the dragon riders did he finally claimed the throne for himself. He then set off to take some of us wild dragons and force us to serve him. He only mangled to get TWO FEMALE dragons, he then did the most evil thing you could ever do to a group of dragons, KILLED ALL THE FEMALES BUT GRACE. Who I saved from the evil king, me and the rest of us went to the only place the king can't touch us. In the mountains of the dragons, which is protected from all magic, dragon or eleven magic, the king could not even get close to the mountains or he would be forced away by the god of dragons. It was his magic that made those mountains a sanctuary to all dragons. If anything wants to threaten the dragons there, or is evil will only being able to get within 50 leagues of it, the king tried many times, but could never break the magic. Not even the evil werecat could get inside.
The king had also grabbed two male dragons before we went into the mountains, but when we found out it was too late. After the king had fail so many times in trying to get into the mountains, he gave up. He said "If those cowards want to die off in the mountains then so be it." He then turned his attention to the dragons he capture, he forced them into obeying him and he made the two males mate with the two females. Giving him the chance to make the eggs completely obey him without thinking twice, he did this by getting into their minds just as they hatched so that they will come to know and obey him as his master. When he gets his full dragon army, he will destroy anyone standing in his way in taking full control of the world. He still needs another 10 years to get his army as powerful as he needs it to be. When me and Grace saw that it was unless to stay in hiding and let him do this, we decided to fly to other lands to find help. I don't think that even that would be enough to kill him, but me and Grace just couldn't stand around and let him do this. It is beyond evil, he deserves to be tortured forever for what he has done. If he is able to complete his plan, there will be absolutely no hope left in this world. We have to do whatever it takes to rid the world of that evil king. That is why me and Grace have come here looking for more dragons, we, the dragons need to show him he can't use us against our will, our power for himself and his dragon. That he can't kill the dragons off, and use us for war, we can help in wars, BUT WE WERE NOT MADE FOR HIM, FOR WAR. FOR WE ARE A LOVING SPECIES, THAT CARES FOR EACH OTHER, THAT CARES FOR THE OTHER SPECIES. ONE THING I KNOW IS THAT WE WERE NOT MEANT FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO CONTROL US. WE HAVE EVERY RIGHT AS EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS WORLD. FOR WE ARE A PROUD RACE, A RACE THAT IS AS SMART AS AN ELF, OR ANY OTHER HUMAN OR DWARF. WE CAN AND WILL MAKE A STAND IN THIS WORLD AS ONE OF THE BIG RACES THAT MATTER. WE ARE ONE OF THE FIRST RACES IN THIS WORLD, THAT DOESN'T MEAN OTHER BEING CAN USE US AGAINST OUR WILL. NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO CONTROL OTHER RACES, FOR IT IS WITHIN THAT RACE THAT ONE OR MORE BEING CAN TELL OTHERS WHAT TO DO, BUT NOT ANYTHNG THAT IS COMPLETELY AGAINST THEIR WILL. SO THAT ALL RACES CAN LIVE TOGETHER WITH EACH OTHER WITHOUT PROBLEMS, YA THERE MAY BE A FEW TIMES WHERE SOME WILL GET ON YOUR NERVES, BUT DON'T USE THAT ONE THING AGAINST THE WHOLE RACE. JUST LET US ALL LIVE TOGETHER IN HAPPINESS AND PARADISE FOREVER UNTIL OTHER PROBLEM COMES UP, AND IF IT DOES WE CAN AND WILL CONQUER IT LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE THAT THREATENS PEACE IN OUR WORLD.
End of the Story of Paradise
Everyone was crying after the heart warming, sad story. No one spoke for a long time.
Draco, I am so sorry about your homeland. I thought we had it bad over here. Saphira said sad for Draco.
Thank you Saphira, now do you see why me and Grace took this trip. It was a very long one, but we made it. We weren't here TWO WEEKS before Grace is taken from me. Draco said anger boiling in him.
Calm down Draco. Saphira said.
Can you take Eragon to the clan meet. Arya asked.
Yes, it will take my mind off of Grace. Draco said.
You need a saddle Draco or I can't ride you. Eragon said.
He can use my, I am sure it will fit him. He isn't much bigger than me. Saphira said.
Are you sure Saphira? Eragon said concerned with sharing his dragon's saddle with another dragon.
Yes, I think it will fit him almost perfectly. Saphira said wondering why Eragon doubted her.
Ok, Draco let's see how well it fits on you. Eragon said.
Ok. Draco said as he started sniffing the saddle, because of Saphira's scent being all over it. Eragon had some trouble getting the saddle on, but he did it.
How does that feel? And why do you keeping sniffing the saddle for? Eragon asked as he watched as the black dragon continued to sniff it.
Because of Saphira's scent is all over it. Draco said which made Saphira blush.
What do you mean her scent? Eragon asked.
What you don't know about a female dragon's scent? Draco said. "No, why? Eragon said confused. Because the scent of a dragoness is what she uses to attract mates, am I wrong, Saphira. Draco said which made Saphira blush even more.
Yes, you think my scent is wonderful? Saphira asked getting a little sly.
Yes it is, it was your scent which caused me to fly all over Alagaesia. Draco said which made Saphira rush to him and kiss him on his snout, unable to control herself, which shocked everyone including Draco.
What did you do that for? Eragon asked . which made Saphira feel embarrassed.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Saphira said still blushing.
I didn't mind. Draco said making Saphira nuzzle him alone his neck.
Saphira, why are you acting so weird. Eragon said still confused.
Because I have finally find another male dragon. Saphira said still rubbing against Draco.
You will obey me now. Galbatorix said laughing at the dragoness. She was standing in a pool of her own blood from the many cuts he did to her. Her mind is under his control now.
Yes master, can you let me go now I need to rest. Grace said duly.
Yes rest, tomorrow you will become stronger. You will take down Draco. Galbatorix said evilly, he had finally broke her so he can control her. She is now under his complete control.
Thank you, Draco will pay for what he did to Thorn. Grace said.
Good now go and rest. Galbatorix said as he let her out of her magic bonds.
Yes master, Grace replied but a little snag in her chest.
Grace is now under my control. Finally I have the means to destroy the Varden. Galbatorix thought happily to himself.
Are you ready to go Draco. Eragon said which seem to snap him out of his trance.
Yes, but I will warn you, I am much stronger than Saphira. I can fly farther, faster, and harder than her. So just try and stay on, if you fall off you will be flying there in one of my claws. Draco said which scared Eragon.
Just be safe Draco. Saphira said.
If Galbatorix has Grace fight soon I will come as soon as I can. Draco said. Ok, hop on Eragon or do you want to know how it feels to fly somewhere in someone's claws.
Yes I am ready, and can you please not carry me in your claws. Eragon said.
Just for your imformation I am a WILD DRAGON. Not someone you can boss around. Draco said as Eragon climbed onto the saddle. Ok bye Saphira. Draco said as he jumped 100 feet before he started to fly which scared Eragon that they were going to fall. Do you not trust me? Draco said laughing. Not really, you still scare me. Eragon said.
How are you feeling Grace? Thorn asked his soon to be mate.
Better now thank you for asking. Does it hurt when Galbatorix makes you stronger. Grace asked.
Not much, defiantly not as much as when you were tortured. Thorn said to the dark blue dragon, with a violet belly and wing membranes with a fan like tail blade.
Grace, Thorn, come to the throne room and bring Murtagh as well. Galbatorix said to the two dragons.
Yes master, come on Thorn. Grace said.
Haven't you noticed that Galbatorix has more control over Grace than us? Murtagh said to Thorn.
Yes, but she is a wild dragon. They are much harder to control than dragon riders. Thorn said glad that type of control isn't on them yet.
Well, I guess you will have a beautiful mate. Murtagh said.
Will you two shut up, and keeping walking before I hurt both of you. Grace said in a anger tone.
Yes Grace? Thorn said.
When they entered the throne room they noticed that Galbatorix look very pale and weak.
What happened master? Thorn asked his weak master.
Well breaking and taking control of Grace took a lot more energy than I thought. I will be like this for the next week, I had to use almost all of my strength to break Grace. Galbatorix said in a weaken voice.
So what do you want us to do? Thorn asked happy that he was very weak now.
I want you and Murtagh to patrol around my castle and prevent anyone in without knowing who they are. And Grace you are going to stay here with me and protect me if anyone gets passed Thorn and Murtagh. Galbatorix said weakly.
Yes master, I will protect you at all costs. Grace said proudly.
Good now Thorn get out there NOW AND START YOUR JOB, you should be healed enough to start flying again. So go now. Galbatorix said as they started to go outside. "And Grace you can sit next to Shurikan for now.
What a beautiful female. Shurikan said.
Thank you Shurikan. Grace said.
Ok, Draco you see that tunnel right there? Eragon said.
Yes is that the entrance to the mountain city. Draco asked.
Yes, don't worry it is big enough for you to keep flying through it. Eragon said when he felt Draco's concern.
Ok if you say so, but if I get hurt you will walk the rest of the way. Draco said firmly.
You wouldn't do that…would you? Eragon said a little worried now.
Yes I would, I value my life very much thank you. Draco said. You were saying earlier about a Dwarf clan hating dragons.
Yes, their name is Az Sweldn rak Anhuin. That is what Orik is saying. Eragon said. You don't seem worried do you Draco?
No, I have dealt with Dwarfs before, some do hate dragons, because we take anything that can shine. I don't know why, but it just happens. The dwarfs are hard to get forgiveness when it comes to their gold, jewelry, their cattle. So I will protect you at all costs for Saphira. Draco said as he entered the tunnel.
You like Saphira, don't you? Eragon said which made Draco blush for the first time in a while.
You can say I do, I just find that she is very beautiful and attractive. Draco said blushing more.
Ha, I was right, you DO plan on being her mate. Eragon said, but Draco flip over instead of talking. HEY THIS ISN'T FAIR, I AM GOING TO FALL! Eragon said while holding onto the saddle with all of his strength.
I might just become her mate, plus she is ready to mate, and mating season is in about 3 mouths. Draco said as he flip back over which made Eragon happy that he did.
Ok well I got that out of you, I can't wait to tell Saphira. Eragon said just as he caught Draco's tail in the back of the head. Ow why did you do that.
Because I don't want Saphira to know yet, and if you tell her before I am ready to. I will send you flying over these mountains. Draco said, glad that he had some fun since Grace was captured.
An hour later
We are making great time I see the end. Eragon said.
I told you that I was faster than Saphira. Draco said as they flew out and landed in front Orik.
I see you have another dragon. What happened to Saphira? Orik asked.
Nothing she is fine. Eragon said as he explained to him about Draco and their little plan to fool Galbatorix.
I see, well we have much to talk about. Come, come we must hurry before the other clans find out about another dragon being here. Orik said as the three started to walk to Orik's chambers.
