You're just a girl !!!

Chapter five.

But somehow he helped me to mix some herbs together to slow down the poison and to help the man as well. “You risked much by coming for me; I am in your debt.” He said hoarsely as he passed out. “Eve, you must help your dragon to fly. Bring it out and let’s see what it can do.” So I did as I put it on the sand it spread its wings and yawned, I had never seen anything so magical in all my life. I picked it up and kissed its spikey head. “Are you ready to fly little one? Go on; show me what you can do.” I smiled down at it; it started to flap its wings until finally it started to hover just above my hands then higher and higher until I could not see it anymore. Suddenly from out of nowhere the sky changed to a small thunder storm, but if you looked closely enough you could see a dragon being made into a huge magnificent animal, with a roar that made every hair on my body stand on end, it landed making the ground rumble beneath our feet. “Hello Eve, I have waited 200 years to talk to you. I am Dracona and you are my rider.” A deep male voice said within my mind, I was completely amazed at that moment I could feel every part of him, every emotion. “ I am honoured to be your rider, my friend here is hurt badly and cannot travel by horse any longer is it at all possible for him to ride you?” I was nervous to ask him, I could feel him laugh at me. “Of course little one.” Then the memory of me calling him that not 10 minutes ago flashed thru my mind, I laughed. I made a soft bed for Brom to rest on between Dracona’s shoulders. “We should keep going now; we need to go to the Boer mountains to the Varden.” We rode until the horses could go no longer; I changed the wraps on Brom and remade the herb mix to slow down the poison. After Brom had gone to sleep, the man came to talk to me. “I want to thank you rider again for coming for me and I am very sorry that Brom was hurt because of it. But I must ask how you knew that I was there? How did you know to come for me?” He asked me weakly. “I had a dream of you, and then 2 nights ago I heard your voice ask me for help so I came. Did you not send for me?” “No, I am afraid that I did not I think it was Durza. He was just hoping you would come for me. I don’t think he knows you’re the rider, for a girl has ever been one before.” Suddenly Dracona hissed at the man and wrapped his wing protectively around me. “Who are you? I have felt around you and something seems wrong, you’re not human are you?” Dracona’s question shocked me. “Dragons were always the wisest of the old ones, but we elves have been around for a while also. It is great to see you again well last time I saw you, you were still in your egg. I carried your egg for 70 years, until I sent your egg away when Durza found me. I am Stephen’’ So he was the one who sent the egg to me, it did not matter either way right now at all I could think about was the fact that I needed to get Brom to the Varden and fast. I let Dracona pull me away and then curl up with Brom as well. As soon as first light came we set off again, we made it to the base of the Boer mountains by nightfall. I made a small dinner with a few small wild animals and some nearby herbs, the horses had clean water to drink and green grass to eat. I went off alone to seek out and pray to my family. “Roran, wherever you may be right now know that I love and miss you with all my heart, but most of all know that I am somewhat safe with a trusted friend. Brom is with me for some reason that he will not say and then there is the elf that I helped but I feel like he is also hiding something from me too. So who do I trust now that you and uncle are gone? Stay safe and know that we will be together again soon my brother.” I blew a kiss into the air as a tear rolled down my cheek. “You must love him a lot to say something so beautiful, I will help you in any way that I can.” “Your race formed the bond with the dragons did they not? Which means that the teachers were elven as well, so who trains me? Brom the storyteller? Or an elf man who isn’t honest? And what exactly is my purpose? What am I meant to do? I am just a farm girl from nowhere with nothing.” “You’re the girl who found a dragon egg then had that very egg hatched for you, and who has already made a small difference in this world. There is a whole army of people ready to fight for you to overthrow the mad king.” So finally a straight answer, it was my roll to go against the king and die like a child. “Whatever my destiny is I will not leave it to others to decide what I do nor how I live my life. I owe no one anything as I have worked every day of my life to better my family.” Then I stormed away feeling angry at him and this army that I was going to lead. “Would you like me to bite him for you?” Dracona asked, I laughed. “Not just yet, I feel we will need him to find the Varden. But thank you Dracona.” “Call me Drac.” I moved in close against his chest and feel asleep, in the morning Drac quickly woke me. “We have Kull behind us, more than a thousand strong. They will be upon us in 2 days.”
