[/color] They snapped back forward and I took in a gentle breath before I continued down the hallway. It felt like it took forever, when really it possible took only a few moments. I was scared beyond my whole life and I did not know why I was, but whatever was causing the fear, the others could sense it as I grew closer and then turned towards the door. ”Do not worry girl… Many have come and many have passed, don’t fear.” It was easy enough for them to say, but I was still scared… What if the dragons thought I was useless to them, what would I do then?I could not believe what I was doing, I was here, right now, going into the very area for the dragon eggs. I had asked for a chance to try and honestly, it scared me shitless. I knew I was a leader, I would make a great dragon rider, but this task was something I had never even come up against and it scared me to death. My sister’s own lover was a dragon rider, it was why she had left and my father had known all alone and not only that, she had formed her features to that of a human and the dragon rider seemed to love it, like he liked the look of a human, or maybe it was because the elven look on her was uglier then that of the human look. Her mother would kill her if they ever met again, but he had urged me to go and try, told me that they needed a rider like me and if I did not get picked this time, then I could try again when the time came. I was still scared, even with the idea that he thought I would be a good rider.
I had gone past the first guards, asking which way to go, my bow was laced over my shoulder and my clothing made me look like a wild woman. I wore the cloth that went over my breast and upper back, the only sleeve being over my left arm and it only went a few inches down my arm from my shoulder. I wore black tonight, in order to conceal myself from others who were nothing more then dogs trying to make a life after the war. My vine crown laid upon my own head, the emerald was in the middle of my forehead. My tattoo was easily seen, the vines going down my arms, connecting at the back of my neck and then circling around my neck to end with a delicate little leave between my collar bones. I wore my matching skirt tonight, the ends at my knees were tone and ripped, showing the years that were but into this thin material. I looked like a wild woman and I was okay with that. I touched the small dagger I had had made when I left home, it was small and held a emerald in the pommel, but it was not flashy, I never wanted it to be flashy. ”Good Lucky.”
I snapped from my own thoughts to look at the elven guard and smiled at him before I continued. My bare feet slide across the ground gracefully, my body moved with elegance and I did not force it. I turned back to see the guards watching me walk and I tilted my head. ”What?”
I pushed the thoughts from my mind and as the doors open, I was presented with hundreds of eggs, the large eggs held life, I could feel it running through my very bones, each life that laid within’ the eggs, I wanted to touch them all through the egg, but I knew it was unlikely. As I looked between them all, I had picked the egg I wanted to touch, a beautiful green one. ”Stop!” I heard the voice yell in my mind and ears and I winced at the pain, the headache I was developing was coming all to clearly. ”Do not just touch one egg, touch them all!” I gulped down my fear and nodded before I walked into the chamber further, picking up first a black egg, which was in the way of the emerald one I wanted to touch. I then touched a blue egg, picking it up and feeling the life that was settling within the egg.
I moved on, even touching all the eggs and then looked between them all. I heard something shout in my mind, something strong and it caused me to collapse on the ground. I was breathing hard, hearing what sounded like cracking and then yelling that was in my own mind. I looked up and then back down, collapsing from the headache that was causing my own head to pound… It hurt so badly and I did not know why…
”Hello… Wake up…” Something sharp was pushing against my shoulder, the cloth that was holding my chest cloth was protecting my arm from whatever it was. I jumped up quickly, pulling the dagger that was on my hip and then seeing it was a young dragon. ”About time…” I looked at it with amazement, the beautiful being was sitting right in front of me and I could not believe it. I reached my hand out to touch it and then I felt pain shoot up my arm, down my spine, into my already pounding head and through my heart. I could hear a yelling in my mind that was not of mine and I was once again out on the floor.
