5 months later....
Satchiel felt the suns rays flash to his face as the sun slowly crept over a beor mountain to the west.
Satchiel stood in the Beor mountains, wearing wolf hide garments. Riohni had grown fast.
Satchiel was standing outside of a cave, one they found only a week ago. It overlooked a valley, with a lush forest in it. He turned around.
The cave was really like the cavern with the pedestal, except bigger, without the holes, and without the pedestal. Satchiel looked to the center, and there he was: Riohni.
Riohni was big, and he was still astonished how big he was. Riohni's teeth were the size of longswords, and were sharper too. His body was like a small, moving hill. His legs and arms were long and thick with muscles.
He was also an excellent flyer.
Riohni turned to the cavern's wall. There was the inscriptions.
His mother taught him much about the Ancient Language, even though he didn't know that it was that. He figured it out when a wolf, whos hide he was wearing, leaped at him and he desperatley yelled,
"ADURNA!"
Water shot out from around him, and strangled the wolf to death. Satchiel felt his strengthe drop. He realized, had he not been stronge, he very well could have died.
But he had gotten stronger.
The points of his ears were very prominent, stretching out. He felt like an elf, his movements like water, and faster than a waterfall.
Satchiel knew this was prideful, but it was also true.
Riohni stirred, and Satchiel crouched beside him, "Wake up, you big slug, and see the glory of day!"
Riohni glared at him with one eye, and replied, "Oh, Master of the Dawn? I didn't see YOU catching those gazelles yesterday. And what of those naps, eh?"
Satchiel grinned, "I am sorry, oh Mighty Hunter, to insult you. You are the Master of the hunt, the glory of-"
"Don't overdo it."
Satchiel's grin widened, "Yes, Master Hunter, your will is my command. But still, milord, it is time to awake!"
Riohni let loose a huge sigh, and stood up. It looked like he grew a little. Riohni shook himself like a dog, then stepped out on the natural balcony.
Satchiel joined him to watch the startingly beautiful dawn.
At first, was the scarlet light. Then, reaching out, it continued in a hue of orange, then red then yellow. It deepened into dark blue, then sky blue.
They stood like this watching it with amazement that such beauty was still in this world.
Still, they didn'y always stay in the Beor Mountains. Galbatorix had set up a settlement besid an oasis at the border of the desert and the mountains. This settlement grew into a fortified village, and onto an army barracks.
But they didn't stop there. They started to build a tower into the side of the mountain. The tower was connected to the village, and to a cave as well. They made several stone turrets, about 25 feet high each.
The only reason they weren't completed was because of them.
They called Satchiel and Riohni the Riders of Peril, because of the amount of distruction they caused.
Of course, they thought the Varden controlled them. If only they knew that many of the attacks were caused because of the natural tunnels through out this mountain!
One tunnel, in particular was really interesting.
It led right into their cave.

Caption Jard scowled at the construction site around him. Those two had wrecked it again.
He wished he could figure it out how the Rider got into the tower into the first place!
It was almost always the same. The Rider gets in, summons water, and makes the stuff holding the tower together too wet to hold it. The Rider then vanished.
Unfortunatley, the Rider would reappear on his dragon, and they would wreck it.
It was setting his patience to an end. Not to mention Galbatorix's....
This plan of his was not only insane, but it was sly as well. Build a fortress at the opening of the river so then no one could go through there.... It was improbable the would ever finish, or gone as far as they have.
They only reason they have gotten this far was because of the several magicians here. They defended the base, helped build the tower, and they even hunted.
But when this plan seemed to work, they came...
Though they have stopped them from building the towers, they were sucessful with the turrets. They were starting to be able to fend them off, but it wasn't going to work.
The dragon was too skillful in the air to be shot....
They had already captured several caravans going to the Varden, and several people seeking refuge from Galbatorix. They were rewarded with food, money, and some more spell casters.
But Galbatorix was getting impatient.
Captain Jard paced on the stone floor of his office, and still wondered how the troublesome pair was getting in....
A guard burst through. "Sir! We are being beseiged!"
"By whom?"
"The Rider and Dragon of Peril!"
Captian Jard cursed under his breath. This was irratating.
"Gather the spellcasters. NOW!" He roared on the top of his lungs.
A few minutes afterward, another guard came in. "Sir! the Peril has freed the prisoners and led them to freedom!"
Captian Jard cursed under his breathe again. "JUST GET THEM!"
"Who?!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHO?! GET THE PRISONERS, THE DRAGON, AND THE RIDER!"
"Yessir!"
The gaurd ran out, only to run back in to say they escaped.'
Captian Jard seethed. This would not go on any more.
He stormed out of the office, intending to speak to the magicians.

Satchiel burst out laughing as they landed on the on the cliff that led to their cave.
"Another successful attack!"
"Don't get so cocky."
"But why not? Its so easy to appear, do some destruction, and then disappear!"
"How long do you think it'll take for the magicians to but gaurd spells upon the place? Make the fortification water proof?"
Satchiel stopped his whooping for a second. He was right. Then he shrugged. "Who cares? If they do, I'll just force the walls to collapse."
"They would expect that. Plus, it would take too much energy. But who am i kidding? You are the Almighty Water-man. Nothing can stand against you."
Satchiel frowned at this sarcasm. "Well, sure, it would take energy. Ok, a lot."
Satchiel started gnawing on his tounge. It was a habit he picked up from his father, when he was alive, of course.
His father was a swordsmaster, and he lived longer than his mother.
Satchiel's father may have been gruff, but he was kindly, and trained him with the sword. Satchiel used to gain some surplus money for them for challenging some one to a deul.
But back to the subject.
He snapped his fingers.
"I could weaken it, then you could destroy it. Ya, thats it!"
Riohni just snorted and lumbered away into the cave.
Satchiel followed.
Satchiel thought, Was this our average day?
Riohni snorted again and replied, "Yes, it is."
Riohni turned and looked at him in the eyes.
After several minutes, they burst out laughing.
Well, at least he thought he did.
