It had now gone onto weeks and I had not see him, I was beginning to worry and when I worried it was not a good thing. I never worried, I did my best to even have such a emotion, but recently, my worry had come to the surface and I was faced with the fact that I had someone who I cared about more then anything else... Osiris! My mind had only been on my dragon and I had called for him over and over and he still never came. I wanted my dragon more than anything right now, yet, I could not find him. I could not believe this was happening! Where had he gone? Did he leave the city? Did he leave this world? Did he fly down to the Varden!? My mind was going so crazy that I could not think straight.
I looked around the streets, my midnight wardrobe hiding me very well. The black pants were tight around my hips, flaring out at my knees, going over my black boots. I looked up slightly, my ice blue eyes taking in the midnight sky before I turned the corner. My black, long sleeve tunic hid me nicely before I started climbing up to be on the roof top, my body making it over with easy. I touched my sword, the pommel right at my finger tips and then I touched both of my daggers. One was at my forearm, hidden under my long sleeve tunic and the other was on the other side of my hip. I did not go anywhere without my blades, but I needed to find my dragon more then have these things on me.
Osiris! Where are you!
[/color] I knew I had made him mad by being with the elf, but there was not point at being made at me, I learned what I needed to learn, but I was still not done, I still had a ways to go with my training. Osiris just held hatred towards the elf, along with towards the empire. He did not want anything to do with the empire, told me daily that when he was with me. I wanted him though and I could not find him. ----- ----- ----- I could hear her calling me, my mind was open but I had learned to make her go undetected of my presence and I was enjoying it right now. If she was not going to listen to me then there was no point in giving her the pleasure of seeing me. The empire had killed my mother, had taken her out because the King wanted control. They had made her suffer and then she was left to try and kill the king herself. I knew she had died in the process of trying to avenge her rider's death, but the King had no right to that throne, not a single right and he was a terrible King! At least, in my honest opinion. I watched her from afar, always near so I could help her in case she needed my help, but I knew she would not. I turned my head slightly, looking around. I had gained some pounds, in fact, I had grown a lot since the weeks before. I was too big to sit on her shoulder now, much to heavy, but at least I was bigger then I was and my wings could actually lift me into the air. I still had a lot of growing to do, but it would come with time. I turned my head slightly as she yelled my name a second time, my heart pounding for her, but my mind made up! I was not going near her unless she realized that the empire was wrong, or she promised she would try and stay away from the elf, or until I felt like going over to her.

It was night and she couldn't sleep. Murtagh happened to be snoring away while she snuck out of her room and silently made her way out of the castle. Giving a sigh, the girl walked slowly towards a stump where she sat down. Wearing her night gown and a robe, Arwen was exhausted and wanted to rest. Alas, she couldn't. She had grabbed her dual swords just in case anything happened. She would of brought along her bow and arrows, but it was just too heavy. The girl looked up at the stars, wishing she could escape this hell hole. Wait. Why didn't she just run away? The idea popped into her mind as she got up slowly and looked behind her. Her blue eyes flashed brightly when she realized that it could be possible.
I could do this. I just have to leave here and go down to town. From there on, I'll just...find my way out of here. Without the king knowing. She whispered to herself. It sounded absolutely mad, but she knew deep in her mind that she could do it. The only problem was that the king would know that she was missing and god forbid, he might even send Murtagh after her. Hell, then that would be a huge problem. Biting down on her lip, she walked slowly and quickened her pace down towards the small town below her.
She had made it out. The night was still silent to her and she prayed hard that she would not be caught. While walking, she saw a dark figure and she quickly hid in a bush. Watching the figure, she realized it was a girl. Another girl. In the very same tunic that she wore off to battle during the night. Cautiously, she walked towards the woman and whispered softly,
Excuse me? What are you doing? You don't happen to... She trailed off, remembering who she was. Arwen was one of Galbortix's warriors. Why wasn't she acting like one? She could totally bluff this one out.
Shouldn't you be somewhere during a night like this? She tried to sound commanding. Her blue eyes stared at the girl with an intense like look in her eyes. Her lips turned into a sly looking smile while wrapping herself more into her robes. Sure, it was summer but she couldn't help but feel slightly chilly.

The summer night was just going by and honestly, at this point, I did not care. I knew what I was doing, had been trained by the best and that was the end of it. I had my own mission ahead of me and that was to find my Dragon, my brother! "Osiris!"
[/color]... His presence was still not there with me and it was causing me great discomfort, more so then I could imagine. What was his problem? What had caused him to hate the empire so much when he had only just hatched a few months ago? What was bring forth this hate so quickly? I was so confused, it was not even funny... I wanted to know what was going on, but he would not talk to me about it. I climbed down from the roof I had been on, my feet hitting the ground and my body folding slightly to absorb the impact before I stood up straight. I looked around again, my eyes hitting the castle. "What is Galbatorix going to say?"[/color] my voice was at a dead whisper as I thought of how he would act if he found out that Osiris had left and was not going to come back. If he found out that my Beloved Osiris hated the empire and him... What would he do to Osiris? What would he do to me? I wanted so badly to serve the empire, but Osiris was determined to make sure that none of that happened in the future. He was going to cause as much trouble for the empire as he could. How could I chose who to follow? My Dragon or the Empire!? It was like a test of faith... I did not know how to act, how to control my own emotions right now. I heard the sound of footsteps, looking up at the moon, my hood falling back over my head, showing the long black hair that was hidden and the ice blue eyes that my mother adored from the moment of my birth. I could not believe this was happening right now and I turned towards the figure that was coming towards me... A woman and as I looked closer it seemed that I knew her, and maybe I did. "Excuse me? What are you doing? You don't happen to..." I looked at her confused. She was acting like a mere girl, very shy almost. "Shouldn't you be somewhere during a night like this?" Now she laughed, her voice filling the air as she put her hand on her stomach. "Why should I go anywhere? I have no place I really want to go, besides I am looking for something far more important then sleep right now."[/color] Okay, so maybe I took on some of my father's arrogance and such, but it was the way I was. The King's Knight was beyond stupid, though he was my father, I hated him for the most part, though he did get me the best of things, he expected me to be a woman and not the assassin in which I was. "Besides, what are you doing here?"[/color] My voice also held the commanding sound of the royal and not only that, of the Dragon Rider, which I was. - - - - - - - - - - She had someone with her now, my body tensed slightly as I made my way towards the roof she had been on. I jumped from roof to roof, nearly silently, my tail dragging over the stone roof as I finally was able to peek over the edge of the roof, my body hidden by the dark. My ice blue eyes looking down on my rider as I watched her, the woman who had come sounded commanding, but my rider feared no one... At least, never that I had seen. Right now, she only feared one thing and that was the fact that I was not with her and she feared she would lose me to the Varden...

Narrowing her eyes, Arwen lifted her chin high, the proud look on her face never faded. She was no mere girl for she was a warrior. The sly looking smile on her face continued to show when she rose a brow. What was so important that this..girl was out so late? The lady should be asleep in the castle or something. It was weird. Her eyes widened slightly. Damn, it was the girl. Lady whats her name. Arwen had an urge to glare at her. She was her enemy. Sure, they were both on the same team, but Arwen was not on the same team on purpose. She was forced to be on this team. With a smile, she asked with a cool tone,
Oh? You're looking for something more important than sleep? Oh, don't tell me it's your dragon? What else is more important? A smirk appeared on her pretty face. Arwen knew the girl. She was a rider. Arwen had remembered the king talking about her. Murtagh and her were one of the few riders of the Empire. Arwen was jealous of them. She, of course, would never admit that. Rather, she would tell them that bring a rider was too much work and people who were riders would probably get older faster because of the stress. Arwen was a proud girl and having to admit defeat wasn't usually one of her options.
You're asking me what I'm doing out here?
Arwen folded her arms and raised a brow. Even though the girl was a rider, Arwen found that she didn't care. Why? Well, Murtagh was a rider and she was able to yell and pound him whenever she wanted. She was an assassin. Totally different from a rider. Thus, she had different rules. Different attitudes towards different things. Giving a small chuckle, she closed her eyes and gave a small eye roll. Was the girl trying to sound commanding? It was pathetic. Arwen gave her a mean smile before sweetly saying.
I'm here on my own business. No need to say what I'm doing to...you. Arwen looked the girl up and down with a small smirk. Alright, so she was picking a fight. You couldn't exactly blame her. She was tired, yet not tired. She wanted to sleep so bad, but was unable to sleep. Hell, she was in the middle of running away before bumping into this girl who looked as if she wanted to be crown princess or something. A small frown graced her lips before turning it into a cat like smile. Well, hopefully this girl would entertain her. It's not everyday that a rider loses her dragon, right?

I was not scared of some pathetic girl, that was for sure. I was raised a killer, my blades had gone throw more skin then could be counted and their was still blood that was stuck deep within the knife, at least, that is what I figured, but I would never know for sure, though, it did not matter, this sword had been made by a elf and it was crafted to never rust, so I did not care much about the blood, though I cleaned them perfectly each day and night. I was no princess, so there was no point sleeping in the damn castle with those people who thought they were too great for a normal house, and yet, I did not want to sleep in the house with my annoying father and my annoying mother who fought during the night and having my younger sister coming to me during the night, though, I did love her dearly... I also held another who I held closely and he left because of the empire, which was beginning to make me wonder... He had mentioned something about being chained to this empire unwillingly... How could I be chained, when I wanted nothing more then to serve this place.
"Oh? You're looking for something more important than sleep? Oh, don't tell me it's your dragon? What else is more important?" I could not help but smile at this girl. I could see the proud look in her eye, every body had it in this damn place and it really caused me to be sick to my stomach. There was no point in being proud when you were a person, the only person who should be proud should be the dragon and the ones who held a reason to be proud, but wait... That was no one... Yes, I was happy to be a dragon rider, but I did not flaunt it around, I hid my own hands in order to show that I was not important, I did not want the special treatment. "You're asking me what I'm doing out here?" I looked at her for a moment, waiting for her response. Now that I thought about it, I had seen this girl around the castle, she was a assassin that was basically owned by the King... What was she doing outside the castle without guards around? I might of been a rider, but I was a trained killer before that, trained by the very best, taught by pure experience and able to kill someone without even letting them know I was there. "I'm here on my own business. No need to say what I'm doing to...you." This girl was picking a fight, though I did not plan on fighting someone as... Arrogant as this girl, there was no point and I did not feel like giving her the pleasure of getting my blood boiling. I had learn more of the ancient Language, but I knew better then to use them, all who had the Silver Palm were powerful and those who know about them knew that it only took a simple word.
"Good point, their really is no reason to give me your reason, no point in it, why would I care about what you are doing, you are not even important enough for me to care enough,"
[/color] I said, which no one was important in my eyes, except for my Dragon and my little sister. Not even the king was on my important list, he was just another man who had ruled over the empire... For a very long time. - - - - - - - - - - I think it was time I stepped in, this girl that was before my rider was a little upset and I did not like the idea of someone picking a fight when I was not there to do anything. It looked like I was bring myself back into the world of my rider finally and maybe I could try and make her understand she was nothing more to the empire then a animal in a cage. Though I doubted that I would ever convince her of that otherwise, I could try. I walked over the roof, going down the back way and moving around the alley so no one would see me and making it to where I would come up around the girl. I was now the size of a large dog, but I was still way stronger then one, though I could yet breathe any form of fire. They were talking and my Rider, along with the other was getting annoyed to the max, though it did not surprise me. Nayeli, however, was keeping her cool so much better then the other, her training coming in handy. The words came from her mouth and I smiled mentally, allowing my mind to open to her. "OSIRIS! Where have you been?"[/color] Her voice echoed in my mind and I laughed slightly at the idea. "Just wanted to make you think, I never left you physically."[/color] I knew she was relieved by that fact, but I also knew she was not that happy. I came around the edge of alley, right behind the other girl, growling deeply as I looked at him. I knew that as soon as I let my mind open to the area, she would be able to hear my own thoughts. "If you want to pick a fight with her commoner, then you might as well pick a fight with me, beside, I doubt the king would mind if one little warrior went missing... Beside, I have yet to have my own dinner."[/color] I growled, my ice blue eyes showing perfectly as I bared my teeth, my heading pulling back like a snake, putting my head eye level with the girl who was standing with my Sister, my Nayeli!

Arwen was just digging herself into deeper trouble, as usual. Sometimes, she just couldn't control herself. There were times where she wondered why she even decided to open her mouth. You see, Arwen was a kind of girl who liked mouthing off at people when she felt uncomfortable. This half elven girl hated it when she knew that the person she was talking to was probably going order her around. She had always believed that she was stronger and much more better than the person. She was a trained assassin. She had the stealth and the cold look that every assassin would usually have. She was quick on her feet and was good at killing without question. In this case, it was clear she was not going to be killing this girl. Hell, she was a rider! How they hell was she going to kill a rider? Besides, the dragon was probably talking to her now. From experience, Arwen knew that riders and their dragon shared feelings and the dragons always came right on cue when they knew that their rider needed help.
Slipping her hands behind her back, she counted in her mind. One. With a little smile, she answered sweetly. Oh, you're wrong there. I am important. Perhaps it may not seem so, but I really am. To be honest, Lady...you're not very important to me either. the girl gave a shrug before counting in her mind once more. Two. With a look of her bright blue eyes, she gave her another sickening sweet smile.
Funny. You're calmer than I expected. For a noble, I expected you actually to be making threats by now. the girl blinked, cocking her head slightly. She then counted in her mind loudly. Three. Just in time, was the dragon that came from the sky, looking upset and annoyed. Arwen only smiled when looking up at the dragon. Sure, it could kill her in an instant, but she didn't really care. Sure, Murtagh and Thorn would probably miss her but she'd rather die than stay attached to the dammed king. Looking up at the dragon, she gave a small bow. Dragons were great. Really great. Of course, she was polite enough to give a small bow to the dragon. If not, that would be just rude, wouldn't it?
Nice to meet you, dragon. I see you've found your rider again. The cat like smile appeared on her face once more. She continued on smoothly as if the dragon did not frighten her one bit. Rather, she was feeling slightly uncomfortable with the whole situation. Clearly, they had gotten off the wrong foot, thanks to her wonderful stupid mouth. She took a small step back before she spoke.
I do hope that you're not referring to me. I'm not a commoner. Obviously, if you were here before, you would of known that. Arwen was sharp, but sometimes a bit of a talker. Not enough physical stuff going on. With a sigh, she looked at the girl. If he starts every conversation like this, I wonder how you can ever get any friends. Looking back at the dragon, she snapped at him. Looking him in the eye with the same cold look she held when faced with fear.
Look. I don't work for the king on purpose. You make it sound as if I worship the king or something. So, I'm not HIS warrior because I want to.

I watched, this girl was trained before me, but I did not care, she could not control her own emotion, I knew how. I could look completely different then anything, the most important thing was to stay calm and show no emotion. I did not even allow emotion to register in my eyes or heart. I was cold and heartless, I had never had a good relationship with anyone but my dragon and my young sister. "Yes, you are so heartless and emotionless, yet you run around this city more stressed then anything!" He earned himself a very cold look that only told him of the angry he would receive once we finally did decide to settle down for the night. I heard his laugh echo in my mind and I looked at him, my emotion wiped clean from my face and eyes. "If I stay around here long enough, this place makes me sick!"
[/color] His reference to the city caused me to growl in my head towards him. First he was absent from my mind and then he was coming back only to threaten to leave again. Why did he hate the empire so badly. As she put her hand behind her back, I did not flinch, not even moved my finger to check and make sure that my blade was still hidden on my wrist. Being tense only showed you were about to move and I never did that. My cloak had finally settled and was hovering over the ground by a mere hair. "Oh, you're wrong there. I am important. Perhaps it may not seem so, but I really am. To be honest, Lady...you're not very important to me either." This girl did not understand that no one was really important to me, that someone's death would cause me little remorse for anything, even the death of the people I did care about, besides me Osiris. "Funny. You're calmer than I expected. For a noble, I expected you actually to be making threats by now." Now I laughed, this was getting funny and I could not help but close my eyes, lift my lips and laugh, the sound of my dragon in my head growling. As Osiris came around the corner I could not help but look at him for a moment. He had gotten so big in the past few weeks. His scales were brighter, his eyes still held the cold feeling, but he was still not big enough to fly. He was only reaching her eye level, but he was still big and you could see he meant business. As the girl bowed, I could see Osiris' thought flicker to killing her, I saw his claw sweeping over her pretty little head, breaking it. "I know, very tempting."[/color] He allowed his ice blue eyes to meet my own ice blue eyes and I saw the emotion of annoyance towards me. She rose. "Nice to meet you, dragon. I see you've found your rider again." I saw that dragon smile appear on his face for a moment and I could not help but look at him like he was crazy. Osiris snaked around her for a moment, moving over towards me, but keeping his eye on her, his feet leaving prints from the stone. "More Like, I allowed myself to come back to her, who said I had lost her, merely left her for a little while."[/color] As he made it over to me, I could hear his laughing that played in his head. I wanted to kick him, to cause him pain, but I knew there was little I could do. "Yes, which reminds me, Osiris, you have a lot of explaining to do."[/color] He let his head snake around to the other side, allowing his tongue to tickle my neck for a moment before he looked back at the girl before us. He did not like anything with the empire, but I did not feel the hatred. He could feel things much clearer then I could, though I did not understand why, I knew he had the sense. "I do hope that you're not referring to me. I'm not a commoner. Obviously, if you were here before, you would of known that." This caused Osiris to send his own audible laughter, which was more like a cut of growl. He let his eyes close for a moment and then reopen to look right at her. The girl then looked at me. "If he starts every conversation like this, I wonder how you can ever get any friends." This girl did not realize that I didn't really needs friends and honestly, if I did, not many of them were trusted. "Look. I don't work for the king on purpose. You make it sound as if I worship the king or something. So, I'm not HIS warrior because I want to." Osiris snaked his body forward to where he was right there in front of her. "Everyone is a commoner to a dragon & rider, even the high official that seem so great in this stupid, pathetic, empire,"[/color] He growled, causing me mind to flinch at what he spoke of the empire, my great empire. He turned his head to me as I thought those things and then back at the girl. "And, I only start conversations like this with people I do not trust, or I just don't talk to them, only about them with my Rider."[/color] His voice was growing sharper and showed he honestly could be a bit colder then her. His voice was deep, but it was still harsh and showed not care in the world. "Hmmm... You seem to be working for the kind..."[/color] He sniffed her for a moment. "You smell like the Pathetic life form."[/color] I looked at him for a moment and crossed my arms. "Osiris, quit your insults on the King,"[/color] He turned to me with the rudest of looks, allowing his own cold eyes to bore deep into mine. I knew that look and it showed of hatred and the look he gave me before he ran off. Color CodeLady Nayeli = E54C4C Mighty Osiris = A92929 [/size][/blockquote]

She laughed. The girl actually laughed. Well...that was good, Arwen guessed. The tension really needed to to stopped. Perhaps she was to use some compliments? No. This girl was cold. She wouldn't soften after a little bit of compliments. The cat like smile appeared back on Arwen's lips as she looked at the two. She did wish she had a dragon, yet she wished she didn't. She wanted a friend. Murtagh was getting boring and Thorn was always with Murtagh, which made it impossible to hang around them. Hell, the boy was always off doing things for the old man that she rarely got to see him anymore. With a light chuckle, Arwen then looked at the dragon and smiled.
Yup. Sure. You really should explain that to the Lady who looked as if she was desperately needing you back. Arwen pointed out. She calmly stood there, watching the dragon slither towards her. He stopped in front of her and she continued to look at him. She was not afraid of death. Not that she welcomed it, but everything felt slightly meaningless after she was forced to join the Empire. Arwen let out a giggle before she just sat down on the dirt, not caring if she dirtied her clothes. She could wash them later.
So you're saying that you hate the empire too? Great. Join the club. Arwen gave a sigh. She looked up again, with a bored expression on her face. Looking back at the girl, Arwen commented, Y'know, your dragon has a good point. The empire sucks. Why do you even bother staying here when you could be somewhere else than this hellhole? Arwen even snickered when he said that he only stared conversations with people he didn't trust. Hell, it wasn't as if she was going to kill the other woman. Rolling her eyes, she looked at the dragon again and said flatly,
If you honestly thought your rider was in danger or something, you are clearly wrong. Why would I even want to harm her? There's no point. Besides, we were just talking. No swords were taken out, were they?
She pointed out the weapon part. It was true. There was no need for the dragon to come...bouncing out of nowhere to protect his rider from basically nothing. With a grin, Arwen added, Sounds nice. Though, isn't usually the people you don't trust you don't talk to? Perhaps you meant people that sound as if they're...well, let's say threatening your rider? Or something like that. Shrugging, she folded her hands on her lap while sitting down on the dry grass that was provided for her. She continued to look at the dragon without feeling fear. With a small look of annoyance, she felt insulted when he sniffed her and said that she smelled like the king.
Oh, ew. I do not smell like that old man. That's nasty. I think I might take a shower again later. That's disgusting. Arwen wrinkled her nose in disgust before she gave a noisy sigh and growled to nobody in particular. Looking at the girl, Arwen rose a brow. Oh, so you're loyal to the king? Exactly what's so great about him anyways? He's just an old man trying to take over the world. That bastard deserves to die, really. Arwen frowned, her blue eyes locking on to the form of the other girl.
This place sucks. You know what I really was trying to do? I was trying to run away. That's what I was trying to do. Look at me now! Still here. Her eyes glared at the ground feeling angry and for a moment, she didn't care if the girl was snickering or laughing at her. All she wanted was to get away. If she could, Arwen wanted to fly out of there.
Too bad that was never going to happen.

I was not completely emotionless, though, I did come over to many as a heartless witch, though, I'm sure some others had other words for it. I was not a girl that a guy wanted to mess with either, many of the Soldiers had found that out when I had nearly broken bones in their bodies do to their wondering eyes and loud mouths. I was not a soft person, I had changed a lot when I became a woman, when I became a warrior and assassin, when my brother left the empire for the varden. "He was the smart one out of you two,"
[/color] My eyes traveled over to my dragon, his eyes showed the laughter he was echoing through my mind. I allowed my eyes to travel back to the girl, her own smile had appeared and I just looked at her for a moment. I was not one for smiling, but I did anyway, just because I knew this was not going to be a fight. I felt the tip of his tail come over towards me and touch my foot, my own foot slipping over and stepping on it roughly. He swung his head around and growled. "You deserved that one."[/color] He growled/hissed and then turned and walked to where his body was behind me slightly, his tail wrapped around my feet slightly, or well, making a kind of circle around me, like a Barrier. "Yup. Sure. You really should explain that to the Lady who looked as if she was desperately needing you back." I looked at the girl, laughing slightly at her voice as it seemed as if she was playing with the idea slightly. I looked over at Osiris who looked at her for a moment, his own dragon like laugh coming from his chest. "Hmmm, not hard to explain. She hung out with a elf I did not like from the first meeting, she did not listen, I slipped away and have been gone for weeks."[/color] I narrowed my eyes at him, allowing him to see I was not very happy with him and then returned my eyes back to the girl. This girl did not show fear, but I had this weird feeling, she was not scared but she did not welcome the idea of death into her thoughts, unlike some people who went out to fight just to be as close to death as they could be. She then set down on the dirt and just relaxed. "So you're saying that you hate the empire too? Great. Join the club." Osiris nodded, though I did not. I had been in the Empire my whole life, my father was a knight and one of the highest commanders of a group and I was given everything I wanted, including the chance to take on a dragon. I was given so much by the empire, yet I was faced with a dragon who hated the empire and I did not understand why. "Y'know, your dragon has a good point. The empire sucks. Why do you even bother staying here when you could be somewhere else than this hellhole?" I looked at her for a moment and then leaned against my dragon, sliding down his body til my butt his the ground and he finally settled down behind me. "The empire has given me so much... I have a father who is a Knight, of course, if the empire could just put him in a bad battle to where he died, I would be happy for that... I have had life at it's best, the training I received, the weapons... Osiris... The empire has given me more then I could ask for..."[/color] I felt Osiris' mind shift slightly and I looked at him, his ice blue eyes tilted down. "They might of given you a lot, but they did not give you me... I chose you, they have no power over me... The one thing you lack in saying is Freedom."[/color] His voice was easy to hear and he made it to where we could both hear, I could tell, he was not allowing anyone but us to hear him. I did not understand, I was always free, could do what I want within the law that the King made. "You are bond to him, he tells you what to do, you do it, no matter what he says, I feel caged... Weather the mission is good or bad, you do it... I chose only the good, I do not want to be a part of this... No King should have the control over a Rider and Dragon, we are the ultimate, no matter if the King is a blasted rider... From what I know of him, he is not a true rider with that dragon he has."[/color] Now I was more confused. How did he know about the dragon and the King, what did he know that many did not. "If you honestly thought your rider was in danger or something, you are clearly wrong. Why would I even want to harm her? There's no point. Besides, we were just talking. No swords were taken out, were they?" Osiris looked to the girl and he laughed slightly, making me smile again. I did not know why he was laughing, but he was and I did not mind much, I needed to laughter, it had been much to long. "I was not worried about her, but I did not feel like seeing her get into a fight, I knew if I showed up, I could keep her from fighting."[/color] He said, his voice once again in my head and the other woman's head. I could not help but laugh at that one myself. He though him being here would prevent a fight, but it would not of in the first place. "Sounds nice. Though, isn't usually the people you don't trust you don't talk to? Perhaps you meant people that sound as if they're...well, let's say threatening your rider? Or something like that." I nodded and so did Osiris, but she did not know the whole story. Osiris did not start talking to the elf, I did and I ended up getting punished for it. Osiris had sniffed her and she seemed to hate that idea slightly. "Oh, ew. I do not smell like that old man. That's nasty. I think I might take a shower again later. That's disgusting." Now, I laughed. This girl worked for the King, yet she hated the thought of smelling like him. It was not a hard thing to do, she lived in the same place with him from what I could see and his smell lingered there from what Osiris told me, I could not tell, but others had told me that I would have been senses soon from being a rider. "Oh, so you're loyal to the king? Exactly what's so great about him anyways? He's just an old man trying to take over the world. That bastard deserves to die, really." I looked at the girl for a moment, looking down. I had already told her that the empire had done nothing to me, that I did not have a reason to fear, but Osiris had made another good point, he did not give me my Dragon, my dragon chose me. "This place sucks. You know what I really was trying to do? I was trying to run away. That's what I was trying to do. Look at me now! Still here." I smiled slightly, giving a slight chuckle before looking at the grass I twirled around my finger. "The king started this many years ago... As a Eggling, I was able to feel the thoughts of the other dragons, able to hear what they said and know what they felt... My mother was in the egg chamber all the time with her rider, she always came back to watch as someone else tried to become my rider, but I had my mind set on what I wanted..."[/color] I started to feel all the emotion he was pulling into this and I knew the other girl would be able to feel some of it. He allowed me pictures of what the dragons around him had seen of his mother. "Everything the other dragons saw, I could see."[/color] His mother had been beautiful, ice blue, his eyes the same and his father a might black dragon, his eyes red as fire... "My father was a wild dragon from what I know, he was never around the other dragons and when my mother thought of him, there was no rider... But my mother's rider was a beautiful woman, long blond hair and held the strength and will of a true leader..."[/color] I watched the images he sent through our minds, at least, I figured it was through both of our minds. I was the images that came from other dragons to him that he kept so clearing in his head. I saw that other dragons watched his mother and rider fight with great courage, how she fought and killed many during the fall and then how she saw a group of rider coming at her when she got off her dragon... The rider had been killed and she had taken off into the sky after that... "I felt her pain when she came back to the den with other riderless dragons and each of the dragons banned together to go after the newly formed empire during the night... My mother was never heard from again... The empire killed my mother and then when I was just a egg, I felt the presence of the empire and went silent, never to allow my feeling to touch dragons around me... That is why I hate the empire..."[/color] I could not believe what I was hearing, but he had a true reason and the images were still flashing through my mind.

An elf? What was so bad about him? Arwen was curious, for she felt confused why a dragon would leave his rider just because of one person. It sounded way to idiotic. Then again, dragons were not famed for being stupid. Rather, they were supposed to be smart. She then added, You know, just out of curiosity. Besides...don't dragons like elves or something? Arwen was being biased now for she had always thought that dragons loved elves the most.
Arwen then realized she did not know their names. So, almost in an uncomfortable way, she said. You know, we sort of got off on the wrong foot. I'm Arwen by the way. Arwen Redfern. What's yours? She offered them a smile before just grinning sheepishly. Well, she was trying to warm up to them and it maybe working. She was already beginning to like the dragon for he had the right idea about the whole 'I hate the empire' thing. She listened to the girl's explanation and gave a small nod. Fine. So, she was slathered this whole time. That still wasn't a good enough reason. Arwen still disliked the idea of liking the empire, for she found it wasn't just because of the way they treated the nobles. It was the way the empire treated the people the were ruling over. Thus, Arwen said.
Alright. I get the point on how you like the empire because they basically sheltered you for your entire life. They gave you training and blah blah blah. Though, have you really ever thought on how the empire treat other people? You know, if you weren't a noble I'm sure as hell that you would probably think of the empire differently. she reasoned with vice-versa scenarios. Her eyes then glanced over towards dragon and listened. She could hear his voice in her head and this time, he sounded much more gentler. It was different from the way he had talked to her earlier. Blinking up at the dragon, she quietly added,
Aye. It's true. The king doesn't give much freedom around here. It's like a prison. Even though he does give us things, I know that it is to his own benefit . He doesn't give things randomly. Like what he said earlier..no king should have control over a rider and dragon. He's no rider. He's just an old man with a slave like dragon. Arwen glared at the the dirt while hugging her knees closer towards herself. Her cloak was draped around her shoulders and with a small tug, she brought it closer towards herself. For some reason, she felt slightly chilled and she did not like the feeling one bit.
With a light chuckle, she gave the dragon a smile while looking up again. It was a good reason to jump in, since dragons were usually overprotective over their riders. Besides. A rider's life is a dragon's life. They're bond together for all eternity. That was a long time. Giving a sigh, Arwen glanced over towards dragon and listened to his story. With wide eyes, she could feel the emotions of the dragon and almost gasped in surprise. Instead, she gripped the hem of her dress tightly before listening with her full attention. Love. She had felt the emotion love and care. Listening on, she began to feel the other emotions. Proud. Pride. Another few emotions she felt for the dragon was still continuing on with his story. Biting her bottom lip, she closed her eyes and breathed deeply. Images came into her mind and Arwen wasn't able to say a word. All she could do was watch. Dragons. Lots of them. They all had riders and as the dragon explained his story, Arwen watched as they all disappeared. Pain. Another feeling she felt as she continued to watch.
A lone dragon egg was shown in her mind and all she felt was pain and sadness. Reopening her eyes when it was done, she felt as if she wanted to cry. The story was emotionally sad and Arwen felt really bad for the dragon. Silently, she looked at the dragon and back at his rider. With a small voice, she managed, I'm so sorry for your loss. Arwen meant it with all her heart and bowed her head. She knew how it felt when you lost your mother. You see, Arwen never really knew her mother or father. They both died when she was just a babe. Sure, they probably spent time with her for just about two years, but after that...they both died. Apparently the Ra'zaac had killed them. Arwen hated the empire for an entirely different reason. Garrow. Her adoptive father was killed by the empire. She hated the empire so much, she would even poison the king if it was possible. Though, if she ever said that it would be considered treason against the king.
Just one more reason to hate this place. No. Just one more reason to hate that old man. It has nothing to do with this place. It only has to do with that piece of vermin that's controlling this place. Her voice was filled with hatred and anger. When it came down to this, Arwen had a rather hard time controlling her emotions. She only knew how to control her emotions from Murtagh, but when it came down personally, she wasn't able to control her emotions at all. Now looking up at the woman, she then asked,
So, have your views on the Empire changed yet?

"An elf? What was so bad about him?" Osiris looked at her over my shoulder, I felt his head move and touch the top of my shoulder with his chin. I glanced back at him, pulling my legs up, my boots sliding along the dirt and cobble stone. Osiris had a good reason and now that I had heard his full story, I knew why he had left me to be on his own for a little while. Feeling the emotion from him just caused my body to curse the empire in a way, but how was I to get away, how was I going to find someone who would trust me from the Varden. "He was a elf that followed the empire willingly."
[/color] Osiris voice hardened at the mention of him, but I said nothing, just looked at the ground, my body slightly shaking from the story. His tail wrapped up around my waist and pulled me into his black body. "You know, just out of curiosity. Besides...don't dragons like elves or something?" He looked at her, laughing and smiling his dragon smile, allowing his white teeth to show in this one. "Dragons don't have to like anyone, we can chose to hate every being we come across... Elves are no exception."[/color] He said and I smiled this time. I looked at him for a moment and he blew onto the side of my cheek, like a father would do to make his daughter laugh. One thing about Osiris that I loved the most was that he was always there. "You know, we sort of got off on the wrong foot. I'm Arwen by the way. Arwen Redfern. What's yours?" I looked at her for a moment and smiled. "I am Nayeli and this is Osiris."[/color] I said, though I did not gesture towards us, I just stated the fact. If she could not figure out that much, that was slightly sad. I felt a claw dig into my back, causing me to glance around at him, but still not making a sound. "Be nice Youngling."[/color] I looked around at her for a moment and put my arms around my knees, his tail stuck between my legs and stomach, which I knew he did not mind. I was a daughter to the empire, I was raised to be a killer for the empire, just like my brother and sister had been raised, though my sister had never once spoken of good about the empire and my brother had run away to the Varden quickly on a great horse. What else could be said. He was the smart one... I should of followed... But then, I might not of ever come to find Osiris... "Alright. I get the point on how you like the empire because they basically sheltered you for your entire life. They gave you training and blah blah blah. Though, have you really ever thought on how the empire treat other people? You know, if you weren't a noble I'm sure as hell that you would probably think of the empire differently." Well duh! Of course she would of thought differently. Nayeli saw the suffering the people went through who were ruled by the King, but she had merely found it rather funny, something her heart was like. She thought suffering was funny and pain was a game. "Aye. It's true. The king doesn't give much freedom around here. It's like a prison. Even though he does give us things, I know that it is to his own benefit . He doesn't give things randomly. Like what he said earlier..no king should have control over a rider and dragon. He's no rider. He's just an old man with a slave like dragon." I felt Osiris glance back at her again. "But he is a Rider, that is the problem and why he is still alive today... Weather a dragon dies, the rider will always remain a rider and always hold the powers they had a rider, but what Galbatorix did was far from a true and great rider."[/color] He left it at that. The King had a dragon though, I had heard about it, but what was this about a Slave Dragon... I didn't understand that much about it. "The King lost his dragon many, many years ago... The dragon he has now is bonded to him by force, not by will."[/color] The thought caused a bit of pain in my heart. I was happy I was bonded to Osiris by Heart and Love, something I would never let go of. I looked over at Arwen as she chuckled, of course, I smiled slightly, I was still trying to grasp the whole story thing. It was amazing how he had even decided to chose anyone, I could not do it. He knew he was in the empire, knew that his rider would be for the empire, yet to picked me anyway, knowing that I was serving the empire. "I knew you would change."[/color] I looked at him slightly, I did not know how he would know. I was still trying to get use to the whole dragon thing myself, but I knew that I wanted to be with him forever, that was something I would never take differently. I just looked at the ground for a moment. "How did you know?"[/color] He was silent for a moment, he spoke no words, but he was thinking, I felt his mind roaming over ways to speak this to me, yet, he was not allowing me to see what he was thinking at the time. I had heard Arwen sign, something I would normally ignore, but since being a rider, I had started to pay more attention to everything, to every feeling, every noise, everything. I had grown stronger, I knew this much. When he got stronger, I got stronger, though, I did not know why, but I could go places faster, I did not tire near as fast and I just felt stronger. "I knew your heart before you did... That is how I dragon choices his rider, he listens to the heart at first touch."[/color] He said, touching my shoulder again. The images from the battle were still there, but I wondered who killed his mother, I wanted to know the main person. Maybe they were already dead, maybe it was the king himself. "Stop your thoughts, we will never know."[/color] He said, but his own thoughts were on other things too. Wild dragons, I had send the image that flashed in his own mind. I looked at him for a moment, he wanted to know if there were wild dragons, but he was not sure if he would ever know. I felt the tears come into my own ice blue eyes, but I did not let them fall. My sadness was going to be turned into determination, and not to stay with the empire, to get the hell out. I felt his own happiness spark and I looked over at him for a moment. "How?"[/color] He looked at me for a moment, but let the word slide past him. "I'm so sorry for your loss." Osiris just nodded contently and then looked over at me for a moment. I looked away for a moment and then looked back at the girl. "My older brother was the smart one... He got out of this place."[/color] I said, looking down at the ground and curling my legs up to my chest again. "Just one more reason to hate this place. No. Just one more reason to hate that old man. It has nothing to do with this place. It only has to do with that piece of vermin that's controlling this place." I nodded slightly. I never thought I would hate this place, but now that I thought about it, all that Osiris said was true, why should I stay here... I had no freedom at all! "So, have your views on the Empire changed yet?" I looked up at her and smiled slyly. I knew what I hated now... The King... "We could help each other, but we need more then the three of us."[/color] I was not playing. I heard Osiris laughing in our heads and I turned my body. I looked at him confused and then I saw a picture pop into my head... I was sure he had gotten older, but I was not sure if he had allowed the picture to go to Arwen... My brother... His long black hair like mine, but his brown eyes like my father looked at me... Turin! Color CodeLady Nayeli = E54C4C Mighty Osiris = A92929 [/size][/blockquote]

Seriously? What a loser. Honestly, the empire will lose since we have Eragon on our side. You do know Eragon, right? Arwen rolled her blue eyes at the fact the elf had decided to go with the empire. Raising a brow at the part where she asked the question, she did hope that they knew who he was. If they didn't, either they were stupid or they had been living in some sort of box for what? Two years? Maybe even more. Arwen let out another sigh, feeling emotionally tired. They needed to win. They needed to get out of...here! Blinking at Osiris, she gave a small laugh, her eyes wrinkling up with amusement. Arwen's blue eyes shone brightly under the dark light, only the moonlight could be seen dawning above them. With a smile, she replied to the introduction,
Nayeli. Osiris. Fitting. A match. Arwen tried saying their names and feeling the words roll out of her mouth with a smile. It was true. The two sounded very good together. With a mischievous grin she then asked, Any good nicknames? Eli? Nay? Oh! How about Iris for Osiris? No...that sounds too funny. Too...girly. What about...Nah. Forget about it. I can't think of any nicknames that would actually fit you. Arwen got excited for a moment before frowning and settling back down. With a laugh, she then mused aloud,
What am I saying? Ahh, clearly I'm starting to get tired... She rubbed her eyes slightly before looking skyward. The sky was still dark and there were stars everywhere. Arwen loved looking at stars for they were so...pretty. She remembered when she was younger, Garrow would show her the stars. He would tell her which star was the northern star. Arwen loved Garrow like a father and missed him deeply. She had cried so much when he had died. Sure, Eragon loved him as well but probably not as much as Arwen did.
How Arwen became an assassin, she didn't quite know herself. She wasn't born a warrior. She was actually born to be some sort of farm girl. Not a killer. She slowly adapted to the environment she was living in and turned into a murderer. That's how it happened. She knew that she was a quick learning for she learned from the training master, Randal. Sure, he thought he was awesome but she and Murtagh had agreed on how weak he was compared to the king. The reason why she was thinking of her job was because she was thinking of what would happen if this all never happened. Then, she would never of known new people. It was a good thing, yet a horrible thing. Many people had died because of her. Arwen would mourn for them, yet if they told her to die she would not do that. One thing about Arwen was that, she did not want to die a meaningless death. She wanted a death that would be right for her. Weird, right? Well, she wanted a death that would show that she fought till the death.
Arwen shook the thoughts out of her mind. Being emotional wasn't very fun anymore for most of the thought she had was about death. Her blue eyes slid back down, listening to how the dragon was talking about how he technically was a rider, yet he wasn't acting like a rider. She gave a small eye roll before giving a crooked smile.
Yeah. I guess you're right on that part. No use trying to kill the other dragon when he's going to still live. Even as we speak now of treason against the king, I wouldn't give a damn if he heard. He knows that I hate him. It's just that I can't kill him because of my oaths. She growled with hatred sparking in her eyes. She was forced to take those oaths for if she didn't he would hurt Murtagh. That bastard knew her weakness. Her best friend. When he got hurt, she wasn't able to bear it. She loved him too much. Well, as a friend of course. not. Okay, so she found Murtagh attractive. So what? She had been hiding that fact for about two years now and it had worked so far. There was no way in hell she was going to say it aloud though. She thought it over and decided that any ordinary girl would consider him good looking so it was just natural for her to like and appreciate his looks too. No harm done. She smiled. Arwen had a very interesting mind and tended to talk to herself in her mind when she was thinking. Well, she talked aloud too at times but nobody had to know that.
She watched the two silently and rolled her eyes again. Arwen remembered the times when she watched Eragon and Saphira talk in their minds. It was dead annoying to not know what they were talking about. It always had to be in the mind. Same went with Thorn and Murtagh. Were all riders like that? Riders and dragons, she meant. Arwen continued to stare at the two for a while, and remained silent to be polite. When Nayeli finally spoke, she rose a brow. Her brother. Well, she didn't know that the girl had a sibling. No matter, he may be of help one day, Arwen told herself. With a smirk, she realized what the girl was getting at. The image that was sent appeared in her mind and her smirk grew.
Of course. That's your brother, correct? He would make a brilliant asset to our team. I know a guy who would be willing to help. Murtagh would love to join, it's just that he and I can't kill the king. I'm willing to bet that he can spy in the inside for us though.
Arwen sounded slightly proud when she vouched for her best friend. Though, the thought it worry her just slightly. If he was found out, he would be forced to make more vows to become loyal. Hell, he was already really loyal to the king for he was forced to make more vows than her. Arwen was already considered lucky. She was bonded to the king and also to Murtagh. If she were to betray Murtagh, she would be in alot of pain. Hell, if she were to kill the king, she would probably die because of the curse.
Arwen then prayed hard to god that she would not be caught.

"Seriously? What a loser. Honestly, the empire will lose since we have Eragon on our side. You do know Eragon, right?" I nodded, of course I knew Eragon, he was the Varden Dragon Rider and he had that beautiful blue dragon. But that did not mean the Varden would win. The empire had their own dragons and riders, the varden had there own, but then, the Empire had a large army. The Varden also had a good size Army, but they were still small compared to the Empire, much too small to take over the full empire. I looked at her for a moment and then glanced up to the sky, my own ice blue eyes matching that of my dragon. His eyes were weird, or so I had been told. Most dragons held eyes the same color as their scales, but he was different, his was ice blue and his body was pure black, like that of the night sky. "Nayeli. Osiris. Fitting. A match." I smiled at her for a moment and then looked at Osiris.
"Thanks," I said, looking back at her and curling my legs around up tighter. I was bored mostly, but I was enjoying the time I could spend with someone other then my blasted father or those stupid Soldiers who thought a woman was meant for only one thing. "Any good nicknames? Eli? Nay? Oh! How about Iris for Osiris? No...that sounds too funny. Too...girly. What about...Nah. Forget about it. I can't think of any nicknames that would actually fit you." I laughed slightly. No one had ever given me a nickname except for sweetheart by my mom. I felt a spark of amusement go threw Osiris and I looked at him. "Sweetheart? I like." I glared at him for a moment, making sure I got the point across that I would not allow him to call me that, but his amusement just rose and I knew I was in for it.
I heard her laugh and I looked over at her for a moment. "What am I saying? Ahh, clearly I'm starting to get tired..." I smiled, nodded and looked at her. She had not slept, she was tired, I could see it in her eyes. I followed her gaze to the stars and looked at each of them. Osiris did the same, I felt his head and neck move and I looked around at him for a moment. "What are we going to do?"
[/color] He looked at me, his ice blue eyes holding my own and then touched my head with his nose. I smiled at him for a moment and I knew everything would go okay, it would just take some time. I had been born to kill, my heart was the heart of a true assassin, though I did not know what I got it from, I knew it came from somewhere and I really wish I knew. This was who I was, but what felt strange to me was that my heart had just changed and I wanted nothing more then to be a part of the Varden, but how was I going to do that. This was going to become a new lesson for her and that was trusting people she had lost trust in a long time ago... Her brother for one and then she would have to keep the trust of everyone else. I looked back down from the stars and looked ahead, but mostly staring into space. I was a bit worried how everything would work out, but I knew everything would come together, some way or another. "Yeah. I guess you're right on that part. No use trying to kill the other dragon when he's going to still live. Even as we speak now of treason against the king, I wouldn't give a damn if he heard. He knows that I hate him. It's just that I can't kill him because of my oaths." I just nodded and looked at her again. She had sworn a oath, I had just told them I would serve the empire, never did I really have to swear to anything. I was not completely bonded, but if the King knew about this, then I would have to. "Not if I have anything to say about it." I looked at Osiris for a moment and then looked back at Arwen. I wondered what my brother would think if I came running to him after years of trying to kill him. "He is your brother, he will forgive you."[/color] Osiris may of been right, but I was still unsure about everything. "Of course. That's your brother, correct? He would make a brilliant asset to our team. I know a guy who would be willing to help. Murtagh would love to join, it's just that he and I can't kill the king. I'm willing to bet that he can spy in the inside for us though." I quickly shock my head, nearly wanting to shout the word no. I knew better, the King was closest to Murtagh, mostly because he was the first Dragon Rider after Eragon and not only that, was bonded tightly to the King. "No! Murtagh is much to close to the King... The king would know something fishy was going on and then we would all be in trouble... I may be a rider, but the King is still way stronger then me and a simple word would lead to my own death."[/color] No matter how much I sometimes welcomed death, I knew that I was not ready to die and the thought made Osiris a little bit unhappy. Arwen knew Murtagh very well, from what it sounded like. I would not mind his help, but he would have to gain some courage and the ability to hide nearly every thought from the King, but that would be hard enough. I was not as close to the King, I could at least keep myself from showing anything. I could make my mind completely blank of the plan in his presence and he would never think I was planning anything. As I thought about everything, I knew I had to have the best plan, or we had to have the best plan. "We need all the help we can get you two."[/color] Osiris voice echoed in my head for a moment as I thought about it. Where could we go to get help without other knowing much about who I was. "I suggest we have a place of meeting other then this city."[/color] He looked at both of us and then back at me again before shifting his body slightly and letting on of his legs slide out from under him and lay limply on the ground.

Arwen was startled. Murtagh? Too close to the king? This idea saddened her slightly, for she wanted her best friend to be in the plan with them. Actually, she felt quite guilty not telling him about it, since they did share secrets with each other. Biting her bottom lip, she looked down feeling slightly uncomfortable with the situation. She really wanted to tell him but it would ruin everything. He was her best friend. Her first friend in this hell hole. Looking down at the dirt, she began to draw circles and think about what to do in this situation. Fight? No. It wouldn't be wise. It was clear enough that she should keep this a secret, yet she was worried. What if the king probed her mind? Then she would be in a shit load of trouble. She bit down harder on her lip, almost to the point that it would bleed. Her blue eyes narrowed at the ground, feeling almost trapped.
Fuck. She hated keeping secrets like this. Arwen trusted Murtagh with her life, yet what Nayeli said was true. He was too close to the king. Dammit. Perhaps she could get them to distance themselves? Impossible. The king relied on Murtagh to do most of his dirty work. The bastard. Her voice shook while speaking. It was most likely because of anger at the king. You're right. I was stupid to think that... she growled at the thought of the king using her friend. Closing her eyes for a moment, she breathed deeply. What was the point in getting angry? It wasn't going to do her any good. Her blue eyes then looked back up to the stars. What would Eragon do in this situation? Her mind wandered towards her 'brother' while she thought over the 'plan' and 'situation'. She chuckled to herself, thinking of Eragon probably rushing into things. He was quite impatient like her, and since the last time she had seen him, he had gotten quite calmer. Pity. She missed the old energetic Eragon that she loved.
Nodding at his voice, her eyes snapped back downwards to the dragon who was talking in her head. Yes. They needed all the help they could get. Afterall, how the hell were they going to win a freaking war with just three people? Wait. Two people and a dragon. That was a little bit better,
[/color]she thought to herself. She paled slightly, then remembering about Thorn. Alright, maybe it wasn't good. Thorn was older than the gray dragon infront of her. The red dragon was vicious and like her, he wouldn't let his prey go. She knew the dragon, for she had watched him hatch in front of her eyes. She smiled at the fond memory of the dragon biting her fingers whenever she tried to pet him and Murtagh always teased her on how the dragon didn't like her. Of course Thorn liked her! She was the one who came up with the name afterall. She and Thorn had a closer bond than she did with Saphira, who happened to be her freaking brother's dragon. Weird was it was, she liked Thorn better than the blue dragon. We should meet somewhere quiet. Like...a grassy plain or something. she absently said while leaning against the large tree behind her. Then, the idea popped into her mind. What if they met somewhere with lots of people, yet somehow create some sort of signal to show others that they were team Varden. Also, in that idea, she thought on how she could trick them all by not letting them know who they were. With a laugh, she excitedly told them, All we need to do is to find someone who looks like us to take our place! We can make some sort of excuse on why you're gone, Osiris. Then, we can actually get out of here unnoticed by some people. she added. She was about to lie back and feel very relived about the situation, but stiffened. She had forgotten about her training. Randal would know if she was missing. Grinding her teeth together, she then gave a sigh. Damn. I forgot about my training. Randal still trains me and he would know that I'm gone. Plus, I train with Murtagh during the night 'cause the king wants him to. He knows that I'm strong and he wants the two of us to be stronger. Besides, freaking Murtagh would know that I'm gone since I practically almost see him every other day. she finished. Well, so much for her fantastic plan. With a defeated sigh, Arwen then suggested, What about you two go on first and I'll catch up later? I mean, it would be better if we leave little by little. They'll probably never think about us teaming up. [/center][/blockquote][/blockquote] [/size][/font]

I saw how startled she became when I told her that Murtagh was much to close to the king, which was the truth. The King had much more control over him then anyone else, he did all of the King’s dirty work, while the others of us did what we just wanted to in a way. If the king found out about the two of them, they would all be in trouble and Osiris and I would pay dearly, along with Arwen, which would only caused me more pain now that I was getting to know her. I didn’t know how close she was to Murtagh, but it seemed pretty close by the way she wanted him to be a part of it. Nothing could be said about this to any others who were as close as they were to the King. ”We have got to keep this on the low… We are close to the King as it is, no one is to know, except those we meet with the Varden.”
[/color] I said, looking around for a moment and then looking at Osiris who nodded his head. If anyone found out, we would all be dead and I would end up being the King’s main course, along with Osiris. I knew I could keep a secret, that was easy for me, at least, it was most the time. I had been raised to keep secrets, so this would be nothing for me to keep a secret from just about everyone. I could have a completely blank expression when I was suppose to be stressed or be laughing. It would have been nice to have him as another rider, but it was too risky with the King around him more then enough. I could not help but think about everything, the King was a power hungry man, I was realizing that more now then ever. ”You're right. I was stupid to think that...” I just thought about everything for a moment, taking everything in at once and then letting out a sigh. I didn’t really know what to do right off hand, but I was going to figure things out as quickly as I possible could. I looked at Arwen as she looked up at the stars, following her gaze. ”Everything looks peaceful up there, don’t it?”[/color] I looked back at him for a moment and let out a silent sigh and nodded. Everything was peaceful when you looked up at something so wonderful. Osiris looked at Arwen, watching as she nodded her head and I leaned back slightly, touching his side for just a moment and looked at her. We had two people and a Dragon, we needed more then that, we needed more people to help and that was just something that was a must!!! I thought about it for a moment, trying to think through everything and anything. ”What about Teirm? Many people are there who are with the Varden.”[/color] I looked at him for a moment and thought about it to myself…He was right. There were a lot of people who were there that were Varden. Either they just hated the empire and called themselves varden or they were Varden Warriors and Spies. It was a very good idea and I knew it would offer us something to do, not only that, I had to go there this next week for my father. ”Teirm! We need to go there!”[/color] I said, knowing it was a good idea and knowing that we could both get there. She would just have to be on some form of a mission. I looked at her, knowing that she could either say yes or no, but I knew it could be done, we just had to get to the place. I noticed slightly that she paled and I narrowed my eyes in confusion. I did not know what was wrong, but I wanted to know. ”What’s wrong?”[/color] I looked at her for a moment longer, wondering what was wrong. ”We should meet somewhere quiet. Like...a grassy plain or something.” It was a good idea, but that was too out in the open and I knew this. I looked at Osiris and he shock his head. Patrols went through their daily and they never used the road. There were no trees to hide them and it would be too easy to see that something was going on. Osiris looked around for a moment, taking in everything without me even knowing until he laid his head back down, giving him the signal that everything was okay. We had our way of doing things. ”All we need to do is to find someone who looks like us to take our place! We can make some sort of excuse on why you're gone, Osiris. Then, we can actually get out of here unnoticed by some people.“ I had to laugh. The king was crazy, but he was not stupid and that was something everyone seemed to know. ”Not going to work, the King would know and so would the other dragons, it would be too easy to figure out we were gone.”[/color] I said, looking at her for a moment and then set back on her hands, letting her legs rest against the ground for once. ”Damn. I forgot about my training. Randal still trains me and he would know that I'm gone. Plus, I train with Murtagh during the night 'cause the king wants him to. He knows that I'm strong and he wants the two of us to be stronger. Besides, freaking Murtagh would know that I'm gone since I practically almost see him every other day.” I kind of smiled slightly and nodded. They just needed a mission to go on, that was all. I crossed my arms slightly now and looked up at the peaceful sky. ”What about you two go on first and I'll catch up later? I mean, it would be better if we leave little by little. They'll probably never think about us teaming up.”I looked back at her and then gave a little smile again. ”I have to go to Teirm in a few weeks, so we could met there.”[/color] Though she didn’t know where, it would not be hard to find a place to met. There were plenty of inns and such they could stop at. Color CodeLady Nayeli = E54C4C Mighty Osiris = A92929 [/size][/blockquote]
