Bellamy walks through the island a pale purple Dragon on his shoulder so nolfr are you excited to learn from the great eragon? he says telepathically to him very much so I heard saphira is a mighty Dragon Nolfr says in a surprisingly deep voice. Bellamy nods and keeps walking looking at the silvery gedwëy ignasia on his left hand.

She smiled as she got out of bed. A voice in her head scolding her for sleeping so late. "OI....I know....I love you to." she said to the dragon the poked her head in. She gently pet her. "How was the hunt?" she asked her. "It was quite well, i would have brought you back something but...." The dragon spoke. "I know i know, Your to greedy!" she said jokingly. She pulled off her night gown and then hopped in to the bath. She smiled as she did. "So whats the plans for today?" she asked her. "Theres a new rider you need to talk to.....you have more experience than him and it would be wise to let him know a lot of the things...." She smiled and sighed. "And why Cant Arya do that? Oh right, Her and Eragon are off some where...." she said as she wrapped herself in a dress, She smiled as she put on some armor. She then smiled as she hopped onto Luna's back and flew to Bellamy. She landed and smiled. "Oi....you the new Rider?" she asked as she looked at him. "OH!!!! YOUR SO CUTE!!!!" She said to the little pale purple dragon.

(Ok Edit, Sorry about getting it wrong.)

She sighed as she felt Luna playfully bite an nip at her feet, She looked at her. "What?" she said to her. "Your going to be late....you need to get up!!!" She said to her She started to bite her toes. She sighed. "Really? Theres nothing....OW OW OW OW OW OW!!!!!" She saod as she yanked her feet out. She sighed. "FINE IM UP!!!!" she said to her. She sighed as she pulled on a short dress. "Come on!" she said to her as she walked out. She walked up besides Bellamy.

Darkness enveloped the edges of her vision, a poorly maintained road consisting of cobble and dirt filled crevices. Footsteps, Alanna's own along with others rung out, the only sound to be heard echoing. Glancing panicked from side to side, looking for her comrades before realising their footfalls had faded, that there was no longer anyone by her side; she kept running as her vision dimmed. Slowly at first but it got faster and faster until it faded totally. Darkness. And...

Alanna drew in a sharp breath startling the warm dragon laying atop her chest, heart racing. Kväll rested a clawed foot reassuringly on her heart, the elf began to relax slowly. Breath returning to its usual pace, colour flooding in to restore the pallor to her face. The dragon removed its foot and returned to her previous position, cuddling once again into the stomach of her rider.

"Again?" Kväll asked inquisitively, a slight note of worry etched into her voice. She knew already what the answer was, it was only these dreams that caused such a reaction. "They've been occurring far more frequently whilst we've been here than before..." she began before being cut off.

"We don't need to talk about it" she replied aloud, quietly. The dragon disapproved of course, her rider's difficulties affecting her too, but she knew better than argue; it got messy. Kväll required a little persuasion to remove herself from Alanna's chest, nothing a gentle shove couldn't handle, much to the dragon's chagrin. The elf rightened herself and dangled her bare feet off the side of the bed onto the cold stone below. "The more we talk of it, the more I think of it. We don't talk of it" she finished sternly, shooting a dark stare in the dragon's direction. Walking around the room, she could just feel the stone draining her anxieties, calming her nerves, acted as a conduit for her to release the tension she held within herself.

Dressed, the elf began to approach the door as the ever present voice in her mind whispered once again. "Aren't you forgetting something?" it asked in the most pathetic voice it could muster. Turning around, a small smirk upon the maiden's face as she saw her dragon curled up again, this time at the foot of her bed. Gentle hands lifted the creature before dropping it down on her own shoulders. Kväll wrapped her tail carefully around the girl's neck, perching the rest of her body across the shoulder span of the girl, and snuggling her head under her wing once again.

Warm feelings of appreciation and comfort flooded their shared mind, allowing Alanna to relax further, and Kväll to sleep on their walk to meet the others.

Bellamy glances at the girl who had walked up beside him. who are you? he said speaking telepathically he knew the human language he just was used to talking telepathically because of his cat form. Nolfr looks at the strange elf like girl and her Dragon but doesn't say a word.

She loks at him. "Warecat....Killer." she said to him as she smiled. "A rider, like you." she said to him as she stretched. She showed him her little Luna.

Bellamy roles his eyes and clears his throat " how do you know I'm a werecat? And I know a dragon rider I ment your name. " he says.Hmmm her Dragon is pretty calm down there tiger but I am a dragon figure of speech " so are you ready to meet Eragon? "

She looked at him. She shrugs. "Aya." she said to him. "Your name?" she asks.

A cold breeze coming off the sea flooded the island, causing Alanna to shiver slightly as the wind bit and clawed at every piece of exposed skin. She could see the others, two of them at least, standing around chatting. Moving her arms slightly in an effort to cover more of her skin she accidentally roused Kväll, who let out a surprisingly large yawn for such a small dragon. Revealing her head, her beady eyes immediately set upon the other dragons. Alanna felt the surge in excitement before even the dragon could let a word out.

"Are... are there more here? I don't recognise their scents" asked the dragon, still half asleep.

"I think so" Alanna replied, it was way too early for her to be dealing with this, so she kept her distance. Just close enough to be within elvish ear range so she could monitor their conversation, and probably sigh disdainfully at some of their statements, but far enough away that they wouldn't hear her talking to Kväll. "Their voices aren't familiar, at least. Besides, if anyone would know it would be you. I saw another patch of scales missing last night, you were fighting again".

"I was not" the dragon muttered indignantly. "He disagreed with me, and I just... showed him a better way of thinking. That is all".

"With your teeth? And your claws?" Alanna asked, struggling to hold back the oncoming smile trying to grace her face. "That sort of disagreement?"

"Yes..." Kväll replied, defeated.

A small laugh managed to fight past her lips. It wasn't very often Kväll broke this easily. She knew to savour these moments when she could. Sitting on the dewy grass at her feet, she asked, "What was it about? Did he catch you trying to steal his meat again?"

"I can't remember".

" Bellamy " he says and turns into cat form but keeps walking Nolfr snorts in surprise and readjusts himself to sit on Bellamy's back. I smell another rider he thought to nolfrwell im sure you do there is multiple of them hardy har har He turns to see Alanna.

She smiles as she scoops him up. "Aw....Your just a cute little kitty." she said as she scratched his chin. "Gods woman, PUT HIM DOWN!" Luna said to her. She smiled and giggled. "Cant help myself." she said to them. She then put him down. She then looked at him. "I need something to eat...You want to get something?" she asks him as she pushes her hair behind her ear, Exposing her partly pointed ear witch should not be possible with how young of a rider she was.

Bellamy yowels in anger and twists his way out don't ever do that again He thinks at aya and turns into human form. " yeah I'm hungry" he says and turns around not really caring about her pointed ears he just figured she was an elf. Does your rider know nothing of werecats? Nolfr asks questioningly.

She looks at him. "Your just so cute." She said to him with a smile. She then smiled as she looked around. "I think theres a mess hall some where here." she said to him. She then smiled as she stretched. Luna looks at him."Very little, Shes some one who has lived a sheltered life." She said to him.

Bellamy scowls and begins walking " like I said don't do that again " he says to aya as he walks to the mess hall following the scent of food. Well I would advise her not to try that again unless she wants to be scratched Nolfr says to Luna riding on Bellamy's shoulder.

She looked at him and smiled. She then walks with him. She then grabs some food and then plops down on the bench. She hands some meat to Luna and smiles.

Alanna's face drew a slight frown. "How has that girl never seen a werecat before? I understand there's not many of them left, but don't all members of royalty possess one as a pet, as there is in Ellesméra?" She managed to turn her head just in time to catch a glance of the werecat. He was looking at her, Alanna shook off the feeling and turned away quickly. Had she been noticed?

"How would I know? I know everything you know, and you know everything I do. Now hush, I'm trying to sleep and your wittering and this cold isn't helping" Kväll huffed, again hiding her head under her wing. "Can we go inside yet? My scales feel like they're freezing over" She moaned.

"You've not even experienced snow or ice, how would you know?" The elf retorted, agreeing nonetheless. It was cold, Alanna cast an almost jealous eye towards the cat, covered in fur.

"He would make a nice warm fleece" commented the dragon.

The elf was appalled at that comment. "You can't say things like that, you're going to cause even more fights with thoughts like that". A small rumble emanated from the dragon atop her shoulder. "You're hungry aren't you? You were just finding excuses to drag me inside weren't you?" Alanna could feel the guilt flooding their mind.

"What? If he were a coat he would be warm, and through him I would be too!" she grumbled. "I am hungry though, can we please go and get something?"

A deep sigh left the elf's mouth. "Fine. You go ahead, and I'll follow when I've finished listening to them".

"You know they have left? We're stood downwind from them, could you not smell their scent get weaker?" Kväll asked innocently, poking her head out from underneath her wing.

Swinging her head around again, the dragon was correct. They were no longer there. "No I cannot smell them, you're the predator here. You could smell a deer a mile off. You want to walk to find food now?"

"No. I want you to walk us to find food. My legs and wings are soooooo tired"

Bellamy eats some venison and gives some to nolfr. Then reaching out with his mind he senses Alanna making a mental note of where she was he puts aside some food for her and her dragon. " so how have you never heard of a werecat? " he asks aya

She looks at him and blinks. "Again, I have heard of them, just not much." she said as she looked away. "I was locked away after my parents died....i escaped and came here." she said as she covered her ears as a man, a pure elf passed by. "Thats how o got Luna..' she said to him. She had gotten beaten a few times for being a half elf so she often hid ho she was.

Alanna and Kväll being engrossed in conversation neither was paying attention to what lay in their path; on this occasion it was Aya. "S...sorry" she stuttered out meekly. Slowly casting her eyes up from the floor she saw the girl she had walked into. Face partially veiled by cascades of raven hair, Alanna could only just make out her blue eyes, filled with colour and... a great sadness also, beyond compare. The more Alanna stared the more something felt off. The girl had a pale face, sure, but that wasn't it. Her features somehow seemed to mingle the roughness of man's, and the grace of the elves; her movements the fluidity of an elf, but at the same time the coordination of a human. She was an enigma.

"A.. are you a...?" Alanna managed to get out before her cheeks flushed red. She shouldn't be asking, it was rude. But it was intriguing, this was something she had never experienced before, in her mind that succeeded the boundaries of niceties. "If you are, your parents must have loved each other very much. It isn't often children of elvish descent are born, much less with a human partner, I can only imagine how painful it would be to watch both grow old and pass". Alanna trailed off again.

"'You can't say that'" mocked Kväll, who by now had flown off Alanna's shoulders and had landed beside a small pile of meat left unattended. Even through tearing off pieces of flesh and eating it, the dragon continued. "If you already knew, why ask? If you wanted to deal with them, why not talk to them about things like me?", a gleeful toothy smile crossed the dragon's maw. "Or you could just show her your tail, that's the best social cue there is".

"Because I don't have a tail" Alanna whispered angrily to her companion. "None of us here have tails, except him. And that's only sometimes!". Turning back to the girl, she apologised once again, face still flush with embarrassment.

She looked at her and smiled. "Its ok." she said as she moved to offer her a seat. "And yes....its something that im not proud of." she looks around and then covers her ears again. "Lets just say not everyone has your kindness...." She said to her. She then sighed. "Im Aya....And this is Luna." she said as the little black gold and silver dragon looked at the other one. She sniffed at him and blinked. "Sorry shes a odd one." she said as she scooped her up.

Bellamy looked at both of them not saying a word. will you not talk to the elf? Nolfr asked in his deep voice no point right now only reason I talked to the half-elf was because she picked me up. I see well when do you want to get to the main hall? eragon is expecting us let's go right now. while Alanna and aya were distracted talking to each other Bellamy turned into his cat form and secretly slinked away to the great hall with Nolfr on his back.
