Emrhyst marvelled at Star gazer's ferocity then joined her. She flew over to Feafnir and started to breathe fire on his chest. He felt him squirm and roar a little but it did not matter to her now, she was mad, she was furious and most of all, she was afraid. Afraid of the sinister voice of shuriken and afriad of the new Feafnir.


OOC: Star, i think you should be the one to save him =) After all, he IS your mate.

OOC: ouch, that's harsh. that'll definitely get my attention. and probably bring that old Faefnir back. You know, I wanna respond to that now. Eriel will understand, I'm sure.

Faefnir heard the black dragoness as she was dragged into the castle. He couldn't explain it, but the action affected him in some way. He felt... different. And he couldn't explain it. He felt like something was taken away from him. Then his memory flared again. The gold started returning from the black. He turned to Galbatorix. He snarled at him. What have you done to me?! As he charged at Galbatorix, the gold started returning to his scales and his pupils weren't as dilated. This struck Galbatorix unawares and Faefnir knocked him many yards away. His memory surged back into his head. He remembered the black dragoness' name. Star gazer. He remembered Emrhyst. He remembered who he truly was. He swiped at the soldiers that were surrounding him. As he jumped over them, his eyes returned to their golden color. Then he surged inside to rescue his friends. He grabbed the diamond as he ran past it. He roared with even more magnificence and power than ever before. His brush with evil and darkness had made him a stronger and wiser dragon.

OOC: Mmm... I was wondering when any of you would get that LOL. Its your turn Star =P Don't try to reason with me.

OOC: no no no, i'll skip my next turn. then the order will be set right again. you post now Eriel and i won't post after you.

OOC: oh well lol. I'll try to make something up.

IC: Emrhyst roared as she was dragged towards the dungeon. The soldiers cracked whips infront of her everytime she tried to bite their hands off. Emrhyst roared again and struggled against the chains that bound her. She slowly got up on all fours and managed to kill a soldier before hitting the ground again. They started to close the door leading into teh dungeon, before it completely shut though, she thought she saw the real Feafnir, gold and not black on a rampage. She closed her eyes as a club hit her head shoulder.

OOC: ok, i'll skip this turn. Star, you go.

OOC: Eriel, it's ur turn. I skipped mine, remember?

OOC: Oh you did? Sry i forgot XD

IC: Emrhyst awoke as she heard Star Gazer's roar. She got on her fours and crouched, out of the corner of her eye, she caught something blue. She roared and bared her teeth at the soldiers advancing on them.

She's been dragged into the mating chamber i believe. Emrhyst roared. Those scum, they shall not take her! Emrhyst flew stright into the room and saw several soldiers mocking the dragons and dragonesses. She glared at them for a moment then beheaded one with a quick swipe of the talons.

Emrhyst looked at the ceiling, then at its supports which were cracking. Every one, out of here! She roared and blew a torrent of flames as some archers amassing.

Emrhyst roared and started to buffet the dragons with her wings towards the door. Once they were all out, Emrhyst flew over to Feafnir surrounded by several guards, she growled at them and was about to send a torrent of flames at them when she heard a voice telling her to stop.

Emrhyst nudged Eriel gently. Promise me you never decide to split up again. Eriel laughed, the first laugh she had laughed in days. "Don't worry, i won't. Let's get the dragons." Emrhyst roared and landed infront of the dragons. Those of you who have riders, they are over that side. For those that don't we hope you'll help all of us excape. The only answer she got were friendly growls. Emrhyst then took off for the riders with several dragons in tow.

The dragons halted mid-air as they saw an army waiting an the main entrance. Emrhyst growled, We can't fight now... we're all worn out. She looked in all eight directions and saw a group of people leaving the fortress. Afew dragons roared happily along with some delightful squeels from the younger ones. Emrhyst loked at them happily then headed straight for the riders.

Eriel quickly relayed the message to Emrhyst who took off for the riders. The dragons behind roared as they neared them, Eriel could see the rider's joy on their faces and the feeling of sharing a consiousness with their dragon again. Emrhyst looked back and saw the army shifting uncomfortably at the entrance. Probably wondering what kind of 'spooky' creatures would come out of there. She thought.

Emrhyst looked doubtful and somewhat afraid as they landed. She nervously stamped the ground and cast Star Gazer a worried glance. Eriel reached up and stroked her dragon's neck. There, there, there's nothing to be afriad of in the spine. Despite her rider's re-assurances, Emrhyst couldn't shake that unwelcome feeling off.

Emrhyst looked around and sniffed at the air. Eriel, i can't shake that fealing off! Its hostile. Of that i'm certain. Emrhyst shuddered. Eriel looked at her dragon worriedly, she had never seen her so worked up before. "I trust Star Gazer in this matter, though not the soldiers." Emrhyst looked at Charles then continued talking to her rider. See how the other dragons tremble. They know something is wrong, i'm puzzled as to why Star and Feafnir can't sense it. Eriel looked around now, half believing her dragon's words. "Perhaps there is something hostile here." She thought to herself.

Emrhyst turned her attention to StarGazer, Oh we din't mean to upset you. It's just... We don't visit the spine as often as you do. Eriel walked towards one of the wolves who stood rooted to the spot. She stroked the animal's fur in an attempt to sooth it. She was really surprised when it rubbed his head against her arm. "I think he likes me!"

OOC: Can't think of anything...

IC:Eriel laughed. "So that's why." Emrhyst snorted in delight then nudged the wolf playfully. Eriel walked over to Colbalt and stroked its mane. "Its a beautiful horse."

The dragons formed a ring with the riders and soldiers in it and lay down. Eriel vaguely saw a soldier reaching into his pocket, she thought she saw cold steel. Emrhyst growled at the soldier who recoiled immediately. Eriel put her hand on her dagger, she did not want to be caught unawares. She fingered her dagger lovingly, remembering happy memories from past years.

Eriel released her grip on her dagger though her eyes never left that soldier. 'Those eyes... I see evil in them.' Eriel thought to herself. She looked up and saw a lerthblaka fly across, screeching its deadly cry.

OOC: -Pass

Eriel relaxed as she realised they were friends of Star Gazer, she casually walked forward in full view of the Lerthblaka. Afew of them landed and greeted her with their own rough tongues to which she responded in the common tongue. Emrhyst stayed still, still doubting the Lerthblaka.

Emrhyst cautiously advanced in the direction of her rider. She curved her lips as she saw the Lerthblaka. Eriel stared at her as she prepared to open her maw for a stream of fire, as soon as Emrhyst noticed her rider though, she stopped and smiled a toothy grin instead.

Eriel laughed as she over heard the conversation. "I thought Dust was female at first too. I would've killed all of you if not for Star Gazer... Or at least try to." Her lips curled a little. Emrhyst nudged her rider, I don't trust them. Eriel paused before replying, We don't have much of a choise. Emrhyst grunted and stood next to her rider.

Oh! I'm sorry sir. I hope I didn't offend you in anyway.

OOC: basically a pass turn.

Eriel shrugged and gasped in surprise as one of her wards drew upon her strength. She turned back and saw the sme soldier from before, now shivering in fear. Emrhyst planted her feet next to him and pinned him onto the ground with her claws. Eriel took the knife in her hand a mumbled, "It was poisoned... He tried to kill me!"

Eriel smirked as she saw the man's fear. She walked over to him and put placed the knife above his chest, point down, it was hovering a hair's breadth away from his armour. She knelt next to him, "Do you know how much pain this knife would cause if I chipped off the tip and bury it in your lung?" Emrhyst growled a warning at the other men as they attempted to help their comrade.

OOC: It's alright.

Faefnir sat there for several minutes, getting his temper under control. He slowly started feeling passive and controlled again, but decided not to join Star and Eriel as they interrogated the soldier. He thought it best that he just stay away from them, otherwise his temper might flare again.

"No answer eh?" Eriel frowned and lit her hand in water. "Not as deadly as a knife but much much more painful, espiecially once I throw some dirt on that burn." She let her eyes turn darker then heated the water to boiling. She placed her palm above the wound then said, "Losna." It fell, he screamed, Eriel quickly moved the knife out of the way to prevent him from stabbing himself.

OOC: pass. Faefnir can't cut into the interrogation yet.

OOC: -Pass turn
IC:Eriel then said to the man, "What else can you tell us." She smiled gently at him.

OOC: pass again. you know, just skip my turns for a little bit. Faefnir can't be involved in the interrogation.

Eriel looked at him then said, "You will die either way, the only difference is, If you tell us, we won't hurt you, and if some enchantment is laid upon you, we will nullify it to the best of our abilities. If you don't tell us though, we'll make it a really slow, painful death."

OOC: I guess I forgot it was my turn. sorry.

Faefnir heard the words. Feeling his temper within his control again, he decided to join into the interrogation. Wait ladies. Let me handle this. He brought his humongous golden head close to the soldier. Now listen, what do you think Galbatorix would do if he finds out you were discovered by us? He would kill you as soon as he look at you, and I guarantee that. So, tell us nothing and you would be caught between two large stones that are slowly crushing your little head. Tell us what you know and you will stay with us, away from the king's wrath. How does that sound, soldier of the Empire?

Eriel frowned as she spotted two dragons some leagues away. As they turned to return to wherever they came from, the sun's beam struck them crossways and revealed them to be Shruiken and Thorn, riderless. "Feafnir, you better hurry up with this or the king's gonna come get us."

OOC: Erm.. Am I with the dr's or you guys?

OOC: that depends on what you want to do. You can go with the dr's or you can stay with me and Star to hold off Shruikan.

OOC: I choose the latter.

IC: Emrhyst flew away from the others and roared a challenge at Shruiken. She knew that he would underestimate her and that was her greatest weapon against him. She braced herself as Shruiken roared and charged at her. He flew with his hands at his side and his nose pointed towards her. How very stupid...Emrhyst thought to herself and whacked Shruiken's snout with a tail spike. She snorted in mock amusement.

Eriel watched with her breath held as Emrhyst battled Shruiken, not going for vital spots, just the wings, claws and the such. She fell to her knees as a blade stabbed her through the ankle, shattering the bone. She quickly severed the connection between her and her dragon.

Eriel groaned as the soldiers dragged her, by the blade through her ankle, to Galbatorix. Before she knew it, Galby had his sword's tip on her neck. "Now, Star, release my dragon, call your lerthblaka friends or I'll" He stopped short, his mouth open in pain. Eriel looked at her elbow between Galby's legs. Well that wasn't right... She thought before laughing lightly. She pushed him away from her and with a spell, removed the blade from her ankle and healed it, down to the bone.

Emrhyst swooped down and was about to whack Shruiken when she saw him cringe. She looked down and saw her rider. That would hurt... She laughed then whacked Shruiken up towards StarGazer. Release Feafnir you old fool.

OOC: Star, it's ur turn.

OOC: LOL! That's all I have to say. For a second there I rly thought she would do that, and i'm laughing as i'm typing this.

IC: Eriel turned slightly, shrugged then cringed as Zantya did something rather gruesome. Emrhyst snorted then turned, she hated this man, for both wounding her rider and Star and she most definitely wanted to see this. She sat through the entire thing, eagerly watching Zantya doing her bloody work. It was very disturbing, knowing that a shade like that was living in Reb but after a little bit of reasoning, she shrugged it off, happy to have Zantya with them, and not against them.

Eriel smiled and climbed atop her dragon. "Well, let's catch up with the riders." Emrhyst snorted. Say Star, where's the Lerthblaka?

OOC: -Pass turn.

Faefnir nodded his head, then took off after the Riders.

OOC: major pass turn.
