You're just a girl !!!

Chapter three.

.” I felt that he wanted to say more but he did not and I did not push for more. That night while I was making dinner the egg broke open revealing a white baby dragon, it looked at me with its big wide eyes and as I touched it a white blinding light erupted between us. The next thing I knew it was morning and the baby dragon was asleep on my chest, as I sat up I saw Brom smiling at me. “I always knew the riders would be born again but I just never knew it would be you to start it but then I should have known it’s in your blood to become a rider just like your father. You must keep it safe and hidden for all of the kings men will be hunting you now even more.” I remembered his stories well and I knew he spoke the truth. “There is a friend of mine in Terim that can help us, but we must move quickly for your dragon will not stay small for long.” We made haste until we set our eyes upon Terim just after lunch; at the main gate we were stopped. “State your business here!” A large beefy man said. “We are here for supplies and to see Jeod.” He nodded then let us in, I followed Brom without a word until we reach a large house near the shipping yard he knocked on the door and waited. “Do not tell anyone your real name, Jeod is my oldest friend and he is the only one here that I trust.” After a few minutes a man in his late 50’s opened the door. “Brom, you cranky old bag of bones.” He laughed. “Still the same grumpy old coot, is it possible to seek homage for a night?” “Always for you, who is your friend?” he asked turning his attention towards me with a warm smile. “This is Eve, a friend’s niece that I am caring for at the moment.” He bowed his head to me then stepped aside for us to enter, his house was beautiful it smelled of cooking meat and spices. “There is a room at the end of the hall if you wish to take a shower and get some rest.” Jeod said to me, I looked at Brom who nodded. “Thank you sir, I promise not to be any hassle.” He smiled warmly at me, I was happy to have a hot shower to wash away my lost past. After I was dressed again, I went looking for the men, I heard their voices coming from behind 2 large wooden doors. “Does she know who you really are yet?” Jeod asked. “No, and there is no reason for her to know just yet. She has just lost her whole life in one night just because a soldier thought to make her a trophy wife. No its best if she just thinks of me as the crazy storyteller that she has known her whole life.” Brom sighed. “I have known you for far too long now Brom to know when you’re lying and I know you will never tell that young lost girl out there the truth. She has a right to know what you were and mainly who you are to her. She has the egg doesn’t she? I felt a force 3 nights ago just as you would of but that also means that so did he. I will help you reach the Varden but I cannot join you for Helena would not leave at the moment.” “I understand and any help you can give us is more than welcomed. I think I will go check on Eve and make sure she is resting.” I quickly and quietly stole back to our room and pretended to be asleep, I heard him open the door and walk up beside me. “Les étoiles veille sur vous ma fille.” He sounded so sad, I rolled over and said. “Who are you really Brom?” “Sleep now Eve, all is well and I will tell you everything soon enough. I promise, get some sleep.” I reached into my bag and pulled out my sleeping dragon then cuddled up to it and fell into a deep dreamless sleep. I woke up with the sun high in the sky; I rubbed my eyes and found my dragon was gone. I quickly got up to search for it; I was at ease when I saw it was with Brom. “I am sorry I slept so long, I think it was just nice to sleep peacefully and without fear. “He smiled at me before replying. “Jeod has all the supplies we need already packed up.” I nodded knowing full well we couldn’t stay any longer here. “Who are you? Varden?” I asked him. “How do you know that name?” “I am not sure, but it was mentioned in my dream last night even tho I have never heard of it.” “They are rebels who fight to overthrow the mad king; we are heading to them from here. It is a long distance and shall take us at least 6 days.” I knew I would need that long to get all the answers I seeked out of him and I didn’t mind being out there seeing all new places and people. We said our goodbyes then made haste for the Beor Mountains, as we were leaving I saw a hooded figure watching us from afar but I did not mention it to Brom for fear that I was just seeing things. “Last night in the room you said that you would tell me the truth so I ask you now for our travel is long and so is the truth I fear.” He laughed. “Well I guess you’re right.”
