A/N: Ok I am going to attempt to make this chapter longer than the last two! So far I've had only two requests for dinos...people start suggesting! And you can suggest more than one I hope you guys know. Request away please!
What the hell is that thing?!
Saphira looked down as they were passing over the Dragontooth islands. Their journey was offically beginning now.
'You ready for this Eragon?'
'Yes..' Looking towards Thorn, Saphira nodded her head, locking her wings to her sides and going faster. Roaring in delight, Saphira did stunts in the air and Thorn copied her, attempting the moves as well. Arya had wrapped her arms around Eragon's waist while Saphira was doing flips. Spreading her wings, Saphira looked at Thorn as dark, ominous looking clouds were coming towards them.
'Eragon..'
'What?'
'I don't like those clouds...neither does Thorn.'
'So what're we going to do?'
'I don't know.' Eragon glanced at Arya.
"Saphira and Thorn don't know what to do. Look at those clouds." Thorn flew towards them, so he was right beside them and so Murtagh can be a part of the conversation.
"Maybe there's nothing out past the Dragontooth islands." Arya was about to reply when she saw something off in the distance.
"Look." The two guys followed her gaze and their eyes widened.
"An island. Saphira, Thorn do you both think you can get to the island before the storm breaks?" Saphira looked to Thorn, who nodded.
'We'll try Eragon. But don't hold your breath.'
~On the island~
The man looked up as the rain began to pour down. Looking around, he saw no sign of the creature and sighed. He had had a family....a loving wife, two daughters and a son. They had come out to the island with him and now they were all dead...eaten by that creature and another that they had encountered earlier. Thunder roared overhead, making him look up. Even though he wished for a DragonRider, he wouldn't wish for anyone else to have to endure this. A rustle in the bushes caught his attention. Something that was a light tanish color, with black spots and something that looked like a black scar coming down its eyes was staring at him. It had long talons, but on its feet was a raised claw, that looked like a hook almost. Eyes widening, he looked all around him and was surprised to see the other creatures that looked similar to the one in front of him coming in from the sides. Swallowing, he realized that he might be joining his family soon enough. But a loud roar echoed from somewhere and the creatures made some sort of weird noise before running off.
~With Eragon~
"Hang on Arya!" Eragon yelled over the wind. Over the course of three minutes the weather had grown worse. Murtagh was crouched over Thorn, trying to escape the harshness of the wind, and the rain.
"Eragon we have got to land!" Murtagh yelled out to him. Looking down, Eragon saw with relief that they were getting closer to the island.
'Saphira how long do you think it'll take?'
'I don't know...but Eragon it's not going to be a soft landing.' Growling, Saphira locked her wings to her sides and went flying down quickly. Yelling in terror, Eragon held onto the saddle tightly and he felt Arya's grip on his waist tighten as well. A bolt of lightning shot out and struck Saphira, making her roar in pain.
'Saphira?! You all right?!'
'Er...wha...' Eragon looked at Saphira in concern. He couldn't understand anything she was trying to tell him! It was as if the lightning bolt had disabled their telepathic connection.
"Saphira if you can hear me, find some place safe to land and stay there!" Saphira roared again. Eragon looked at Arya.
"Eragon what're you planning on doing?"
"We can't stay up in the air for much longer. If we jump, Saphira will land and then she can recover from whatever the lightning did to her." When Arya was about to disagree with him, another bolt of lightning came towards them. Grabbing Arya's waist, Eragon jumped off of Saphira's back and free fell towards the ground. They hit the ground with a soft thud. Arya sat up and glared at Eragon.
"That was the most stupidest I've ever seen you do! Don't you ever do that again! You understand me?!"
"Yes very much so." He tried to talk to Saphira again, but couldn't reach her. He was reminded of the time when he was drugged by the Ra'zac and Durza when he was barely a DragonRider years ago.
"Any luck with Saphira?"
"No...When the lightning first hit us, it did something to Saphira. I can't hear her thoughts. I feel so useless." A roar reached their ears from somewhere to their left. 'Saphira...?' Standing up, Eragon began running in that direction.
"Eragon get back here! We have no idea what is on this island! Are you even listening to me?!" Eragon stopped running when he saw another man running towards them. He had short black hair with a green and blue eye.
"Run that way!" He yelled at them as a big creature with a fin on its back came crashing through the trees, roaring.
"What the...?!" Turning around, Eragon and Arya took off running with the other man following them.
"What is that thing?!" Arya yelled at the two men. Eragon shrugged but the other man looked at her.
"I have no idea, but it loves meat!" It roared again and was quickly gaining speed. Arya spotted a little crack in a tree and looked at the men.
"Quick! In the tree!" They followed her and the creature attempted to follow them, but after a few minutes gave up and walked away, roaring once again. Eragon looked at the man.
"Who are you?"
"Kairou. And you two?"
"I am Eragon."
"And I'm Arya. We were separated from our friends." Kairou sighed and leaned his head back.
"I hate to break it to you both, but your friends are probably dead. There are other monsters on this island that they could run into...besides that one just now. Believe me. I've been on this island for a few days now." Eragon looked at him.
"Well if you've survived this long, then how come our friends can't?"
"Well, young man, I had a whole crew of people here with me. And that creature ate them all...even my family. So you're friends will probably dead within an hour."
"Two of our friends are dragons. I am the rider to one of them." Kairou's eyes widened.
"Goodness gracious...and I was wishing for a DragonRider...Who is the other rider?"
"Our other friend. He is with the dragons...or at least we think he is." Arya looked at them and raised an eyebrow.
"Not to spoil the mood but we need to come up with some sort of name for these creatures so we'll know which one is which." Eragon thought about one for the creature just now.
"How about Spino for the one just now?"
"Spino?"
"Yeah...for the fin on its back. What you have something else for it?" He asked Arya.
"No."
"Ok, then Spino it is for the one with the fin. Any other's we should know about?"
"Well there are some other ones...some of them hunt in packs...but most of them hunt alone. Like Spino." Eragon and Arya nodded.
"I hope we can find Murtagh, Thorn, and Saphira...Eragon."
"Yeah...me too."
All right review! This chapter was longer than the others right? I know the chase scene wasn't much but there will be more chasing scenes coming up. The ones that Kairou encountered earlier were utahraptors by the way. I based them off the picture I had found of them. Ok review and remember to suggest more dinos!
