Chapter 30.1
Nira's raspy voice mutters through my head as Finca carries me to the Crags of Tel'naeir.
That dragon ssshouldn't have hatched for that elf!
A twist of fate Nira? I question the blackened spirit as it moans about Finca's choice to have Vanir touch the eggs.
That female hasss doomed Alagaesssia with her offssspring, Nira grumbles as I chuckle at his annoyance. It isss not funny!
I stop once I can sense his rage flaring up at me.
Sorry, I mutter.
NIra growls but says nothing as Finca lands beside Oromis' home in the Crags of Tel'naeir.
Your time hasss come youngling, Nira growls as Finca places me on the floor. Ssseize the female and prevent her from letting her choossse who the eggsss will hatch for!
I thought that the eggs choose their riders, I comment.
My comment sends Nira into a fury.
You know that becaussse of the female. Ssshe isss wrong about that. The female dragon choosssesss who acceptsss the egg, Nira quickly informs me. Now go after her!
I know that I normally wouldn't go against my nature to protect my dragon but Nira's words sound so correct. As if he knows what I struggle over, as if he can read my mind.
Nira's raspy hiss interrupts my thoughts.
I told you to ssseize her! He hisses in annoyance.
Of course, I reply and slowly open my eyes.
At first the light is too strong and I close my eyes to avoid its brightness. Once I do, Nira repeats his raspy hiss and I am forced to open my eyes once more. Although the light is still painful I manage to focus on Finca.
Go up to her, Nira whispers gently to me as he watches my every move.
I advance toward my dragon and lay a hand on her massive silvery-white shoulder.
You are awake? She questions.
Sssay yesss, Nira commands and I obey.
I was worried about you, Finca mutters.
And I was worried about you, I sigh before Nira can tell me what to say.
Our path is long and hard. Many battles shall rage around us but yet we decide our destiny, Finca mutters as I recall Angela's prediction back in Term.
"This will be difficult to understand but I shall try to read them. A long life awaits you, perhaps far too long. Battles will range around you and another that will change the face of Alagaesia forever. Your memories from another time shall be rediscovered. You have powers that you do not fully understand, but will become clear in time. Destiny will reunite you with someone from your past. I see that . . . dragons will again fly in our skies soon. "
Those predictions are now coming true, I think as Finca and I await Oromis and Glaedr.
