Medalanim took a deep breath to increase her courage when the island of Vroengard came into sight. A hundred years have passed since she had seen what once was her home. A hundred years, since her Rider, Solir, had died saving her. She had returned to see what had become of it. To find the closure that her maddened state of grief had prevented her from finding before. It had been so long since she had flown anywhere, her wings were sore, being more unfamiliar to long flights than she had been. She snarled as another wave of pain burned her flight muscles. No. I can't give. I am almost there. She flew swiftly and silently, gliding whenever she could to conserve her strength. The air over the ocean wasn't as supportive as the air over land, especially during the winter as it was now, and she noticed that she was loosing altitude as the sheer icy cliff sides of the Rider's island began to loom over her. She didn't falter, but instead redoubled her efforts, and flapped to gain altitude. She finally hit a meager updraft from the frosted land below, and propelled herself up and up the steep face, her tail blade glinting brightly in the sun. Ignoring the burning in her wings, she flapped once more, and peaked over the rim of the volcanic crater that housed the city of Doru Araeba. A small glimmer of hope fluttered by in her heart, hoping to see the city alive and well. It was crushed when she looked upon the ruins that lay below her. Smoke obscured much of the city, and the parts that were visible were only composed of a mass of large, crumbling buildings; their formerly white stone structures stained with ash over the years exposed to the volcanic environment. Darkness enveloped her heart, even though the warmth of the crater welcomed her like an old friend. The sulfuric vapors from the volcanic pit that surrounded the city were stronger than before. The place was ancient, and alive with the forces of nature; the anger and pain of the last stand at Doru Araeba still hung in the air in thick sheets like the volcanic fumes she breathed. She dived down, and broke through the opaque smoke, revealing the rest of the city in the same condition as before. Looking around, flashes from her memory only reminded her of her brighter past. Replacing the broken buildings with the shining white towers that she remembered so well, being able to see the wide stone streets and caves of the city underneath the piles of ash that now covered them. Remembering her way, she located where she was and made a wide circle. Loosing altitude, she finally found where she wanted to go and landed on the flat roof of a relatively sound building. She looked around, trying to see what she seeked out, but she could not find it underneath the layer of black ash. But upon a closer look, she found something sticking out of the ashes. She slowly moved towards it, and wiped the black substance off with her paw. revealing dark, weathered leather. It was a piece of her old saddle. But it was also not just her saddle. Upon that saddle, still buried underneath the soot, she knew was what remained of her former Rider. Not wanting to disturb the ashes that buried him, she bowed her head. A single tear forming in her eye as she began to mourn in silence. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

He paused as his foot kicked over a piece of the stone roof to reveal a fairth. The picture on the piece of slate was of his family. There on the right was his brother Jod and his Rider, standing slightly behind his father and mother. Standing to their left and glowing a brighter gold than even the sun could hope to achieve, was Kurenai. Her Rider was leaning casually against her left foreleg, a happy grin on his strange two-leg face. The great bronze dragon smiled at the picture and gingerly picked it up with the claws on his right forepaw. He didn't know how he was going to carry it, but he knew that he wasn't going to leave it here. He lifted his forepaw and continued to gaze at the picture, then he snorted. Taren twisted his head around and put one copper-and-bronze eye close to the image of his sister. Was he imagining things or was she rather big about the middle? He continued to inspect the fairth until he wingbeats above the city, rebounding down from the volcanoe walls and echoing around the broken towers. Taren accessed his magic and used it to make the fairth levitate alongside him as he walked. That would have to do until he found something to carry it in. Snorting once more, he walked to the door and looked up. He spotted a blue dragon just as it passed behind one of the many broken buildings in Doru Araeba. Wonder who that is. he thought to himself, leaping into the air without a second thought. Like some sort of strange flying dog, the fairth followed him. It took him only a few moments to fly from Kurenai's old home to where he had seen the dragon land. He circled slowly, knowing they had to have heard him coming. It seemed that they had found something in the wreckage. The old dragon had the uncomfortable feeling that he had just stumbled upon something private, but that it was too late to turn away. Rather like walking in on your sister and a red-scaled git. he thought nervously, miraculously still pondering the image of his sister. Pardon the intrusion, I'll be leaving now. he called awkwardly to the dragon below, keeping his posture as non-threatening as possible as he turned to go. OOC: I have a charry in mind... Ignore the sister talk, lol. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

Looking around, her eyes widened when she noticed a Bronze dragon, and judging by his size, an ancient one at that. It both relieved her, and worried her that dragons still survived. This one may have lived through the Fall but Galbatorix may also have control of all the dragons here. Was this one to be trusted? No, she could not take any risks. A slight hiss erupted from her mouth as she silently studied the creature, which she noticed had something levitating next to it. It noticed her staring and seemed to go into a nonthreatening posture. She slightly recoiled when she felt a mind press to hers. Pardon the intrusion, I'll be leaving now. it awkwardly apologized. Medalanim narrowed her eyes as the strangest realization came over her. She had not heard speech in a hundred years! Yet still, it only took her a moment to know the meaning of what the dragon said, as he began to angle away to leave. Medalanim knew that she might regret it, but a sudden longing for companionship burned in her heart. She didn't even know the dragon's name yet. . . She began to slightly panic as she watched the dragon fly away. N- No. . . W- Wait. . . She muttered, wrestling the words out of her foggy memory. She hoped that the dragon would come back and she would not have to chase him. Her wings were far too weak to fly. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

He turned back to the blue and looked down at her, curiosity over her stumbling speech glowing in his eyes. Whoever she was, she looked weak and he didn't want to inconvenience her. That decided, he began to slowly descend, still not making any quick movements. When his talons finally touched the sooty island soil, he folded his wings and looked at her. I am Taren, brother of the long dead bonded dragoness Kurenai and bonded dragon Jod. I was here visiting their homes... Seeing if there was anything of them I could salvage. he said to her, curiosity still showing in his eyes. He mentioned the names of his siblings because he had seen during his descent the remnants of a saddle behind the dragoness, and she appeared to have been crying. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

She remained quiet for a minute, deciding whether to speak or not to Teren. She let her glowing glare burn directly into his own copper-bronze eyes. I- I am Medalanim. She slowly replied, having not said or even thought of her name in a long time. I lost my Rider long ago. . . I am one of the only survivors when . . . the Dark King came. I left. . . And I came back to see . . . what is left of my home. She snorted flames in annoyance that she had so much trouble speaking. She broke her stare briefly to glance at the saddle before looking back at Teren. Do you follow Galbatorix? she asked with a threatening snarl. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

That traitor and his murderous Riders and dragons murdered my family. I would die before I served him. he snarled, a bit more harshly than he had intended. He snorted and looked away, anger boiling beneath the surface of his mind. The bronze took a deep breath and contented himself with an image of Galbatorix slowly roasting in a stream of bronze flame before he turned back to Medalanim. Who was your Rider, Medalanim? Perhaps he knew Kurenai or Jod. he asked curiously. He hadn't met many of his sibling's bonded friends before the Fall, and certainly not after. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

When Teren asked who her Rider was, it hurt her to remember him. She sorrowfully drooped her head. Solir. . . His name was Solir. Your sibling and her Rider might not have known us. . . Few truly did. But they might have known of us. She averted her gaze. He used the last of his life to save me from the Forsworn . . . I don't know if it's a blessing. . . Or a curse. She turned her head towards the saddle. His remains still lie in my old saddle which is buried behind me. Another wave of painful memories filled her mind, before she turned back to Teren, a flash of a sly look shined in her eyes; something that she commonly did before Solir's death but now it was a rarity.

He looked at the place where she said her Rider was buried. He must have been very brave, to give his life for you like that. he said solemnly. His stomach churned as it always did when he thought of the dragons and Riders killed by Galbatorix. My past? Well there's not much to tell... I was the only one of my sibling's not bonded to a Rider, and for most of my life I've lived in the Hadarac. The end. he said, chuckling at the look in her eye. She seemed to be coming out of her dark mood. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

That is not much of a life. . . The sly look left her eyes and she looked down, sifting through her memories. It also explains why you didn't know of us that much. We were known by many, both within the Rider ranks and by many people of all races, because we could solve or overcome any challenge we were faced with. We only explored the populated regions. . . The Hadarac I have rarely set foot in. She looked back up starting to become relieved with the fact that her speech was growing stronger by the second. Alright then, if you do not have much of a history, then what is the landscape of your mind; what is it that you most desire to see before you leave this world? _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

And that question is an easy one. I lived among the wild dragons of the Hadarac, and was a much revered teacher of their young. It would please me greatly to be able to teach again. And of course I have other dreams, none of which are hard to guess. he said, gesturing at the desolation around them with one wing. He noticed that she was no longer stuttering or halting on her words. Apparently all she needed was a good conversation. he thought to himself, smiling inwardly. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

For being one of the unbonded you are very gentle. My father, Tel'anir, was wild, and in the one time that I had saw him he had a temper more ferocious than anyone I knew. When Teren gestured towards the desolation around him along with mentioning obvious goals, she interpreted them and along with a rush of emotions she took on a stronger, more intimidating look. If it were not for his ungodly power I would have killed him myself! she growled, referring to Galbatorix and punctuating her sentence by piercing the ash with her shining tailblades. The sky blue blades penetrated through the silt and embedded themselves in the stone roof with a deep thud. She pulled them out with little effort and brandished the clean brightsteel weapon, letting it shine in the sunlight. Her demeanor calmed down after a minute, and she eventually returned to her previous position. If what you say is true and I truly can trust you, Medalanim said with a slight twitch on her lip, Then we share the same dream. I want his head for killing my Rider. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Oh I can be fearsome when I want to be, but I'm more of a healer and teacher than a fighter. I would have done the same, but my father and mother made me swear in the Ancient Language to get away. he said grimly, turning away so she wouldn't see the shame in his eyes. He would have much preferred to fight and die alongside his family on that dark day, but his parents had refused to see all of their children fighting in that pointless battle. He looked curiously at the blades on Medalanim's tail. Is that brightsteel? he asked. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

My Rider had forged them himself previously from a meteorite found on this island's coast, and then had attached them to me during the battle of Doru Araeba. . . It was around here in fact. A hundred years ago. Again, her gaze darkened. It was one of his last gifts to me. She then looked curiously at the floating object at Teren's side.

I can't understand how much it must agonize you to return here. he said sadly. He looked over at the fairth floating beside him. This thing? It's nothing, just a fairth I made of my family, and my sibling's Riders. he said, poking it with a talon so it floated over to where she could see it. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

I had been in hiding for so long. . . I had to know what had become of the land that I once loved. She gazed at the fairth, looking deeply into the dragons' eyes. And then after, the Riders' faces. If she knew them, she couldn't remember. It had been so long.

He hummed quietly, the rich sound rumbling through his chest and vibrating the ground under his feet. His heart twinged a little bit when she didn't appear to recognize them because he had been hoping she could give him answers about his suspicions about his sister, but shrugged it off. Well that's actually an interesting topic for some dragons, I suppose. I have taught myself to manipulate my magic at will, so that it doesn't just burst out of me at random moments. Oftentimes I don't even have to use the Ancient Language. he said in a quietly smug voice, trying not to look too cocky. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

She calmed down slightly and then looked away. I have that same ability, She muttered back to him, except, when I do, I access the true wild magic that all dragons possess. If ever I use it, it unleashes something far more powerful and far more unstable than what I intended, making even the most simple of spells a storm of power that I cannot stop. I never knew another dragon possessed that same power, but more controlled. She paused, then continued, I do have a talent that no dragon has, however, which had also allowed me to use my magic. . . It is the ability to speak verbally. She made a very small, dry smile before darkening her mood again and stepped away slightly from Teren. She was not used to another being so close. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

In his mind they were equals, and friends. Oh you would be surprised. There are many dragons these days that can control their magic to varying degrees, and some have even stranger abilities than that. he chuckled. Perhaps you could find one to teach you, if you like. he continued in a tone that said he would be happy to, if she wanted. You mean you can speak like a two-leg? he said, tilting his head to the right. I've never heard of a dragon who could do that, that is especially unique. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

As he told of other dragon's abilities, she noticed also that it was in a way where he was willing to teach her. A gentle smirk flashed on her face before she looked forwards, letting her growling, deep voice ring out. "Yes, it is unique. As was my usage of magic during the golden age. However, my voice is quite rough as you can hear. . . I only use it if I have to. . . Also I dare not speak the ancient language with my voice, as that is how I access my magic. Unless I want to use magic of course." She switched back to her mental voice.

Well I've never really talked to the other dragons who can control their magic about the ability, but I suppose it's much the same as how the two-legs do it, without us having to use the Ancient Language. he replied, thinking aloud. Why don't you try searching your mind for the source of your power, then when you've found it, try lifting that beam over there. he said, pointing out the correct beam with his tail. It was massive, probably one of the support beams for the roof of one of the watchtowers. The wood was covered in soot and looked to be dried out from years of sitting in the sun, perfect for practice. No point in starting small, you're a dragon after all. We can't make it too easy. he said, moving to stand behind her. He wasn't going to tell her this, but he thought he stood less of a chance of being in the line of fire if she messed up when he was standing behind her. Don't try anything until you're absolutely certain you've got it under control and have all of your willpower focused on lifting that beam. It sounds hard, not to mention time-consuming, but once you've got the hang of it, you won't need to concentrate as hard. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

However when he said that concentrating would be a hard thing, she was already familiar with focusing her mind. It took all her concentration to manipulate her magic the way she wanted it to be when she spoke the ancient language, otherwise it would become something completely unexpected. However, in her case, she knew that for her magic she only had to aim and fire. She gazed upon the dried beam with an intense glare. Concentrating all her will, she tried to delve deep into her mind. She could feel the wild magic energy in her body flow, but as always, it felt unreachable to her. An alien power that felt close, yet so far. She probed the innermost reaches of her consciousness for anything. . . Anything that would allow her to access her abilities other than the ancient language. It took what seemed as an eternity. Her eyes closed as her concentration hardened. She eventually found something. . . A different source that shined with power far back in the back of her mind. She pressed against it, and it shattered, allowing a tremendous flow of energy rush through her body. However, it was only just the uncontrollable wild magic she knew, and before she knew it, her eyes snapped open and she roared, "Risa!" out of pure instinct. The beam lurched, and then with a powerful blast of wind, the beam cracked into the air like a windblown leaf. The beam traveled higher, and higher, until it seemed to vanish from sight. Then, it suddenly reappeared in a flash of violet-blue light that brightened the sky like a stroke of lightning. It fell to the ground after a few more seconds with a deep crunch as it smashed to pieces, still smoldering from the energy that was used to fuel the ultra-powerful spell. Fortunately, Medalanim's stamina was unaffected, and to her relief, no one was hurt. She stood in shock for a minute before she realized that she again had failed to control the magic and drooped her head slightly. This is what happens when I use magic. . . She admitted shamefully. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

He rumbled approval when she found her power and watched as she gathered it into her conscious mind. However, he reeled back from the power when she lost her concentration and roared the word to the empty sky. The bronze looked up and watched the log fly high into the sky, then recoiled and covered his head with his wing when it reappeared in a flash of light and smashed into the ground. He cautiously peeked over the top of his wing and eyed the smoldering wreckage. The bronze dragon padded over to it and poked it with a talon. He nosed a couple of the pieces, studying the scorch marks closely. Right then. Here's what happened. he said, turning away from the beam to look at Medalanim. From what I saw in your mind, you had control of what you were doing, right until you actually tried to use the power. Then you kind of flinched away from it, breaking your concentration and causing you to call out in the Ancient Language as a reflex. I would suggest practicing on holding the power in your mind for as long as you can, then simply letting it fade away. Grasp it in your mind, but do NOT use it, understand? That's all I want you to focus on for now. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

She didn't approve of the thought that she wasn't as good as she thought she was. However, she slowly nodded. I shall try again. Stand back, just in case. She turned away and focused on something else that was far away from Taren; a crumbling stone wall that was some distance away. However, she had no plan on using magic on it. She then gave all her concentration to her mind, retracing the steps she took last time. It came slightly faster than before when she finally reached her source of magic. This time, she braced herself. She slowly pressed against the barrier until it cracked at shattered like before. The rush of energy was overwhelming. She tightly closed her eyes, and bared her teeth in struggling against her instinctual desire to use the magic that flowed through her body like a flood of liquid fire. She had to endure through it, she had to- Her eyes opened again, and the wall was the only thing in her tunneled sight as she felt the world warp from her own energy. It took her a while to realize what had happened, but the wall had disintegrated in a powerful explosion of indigo fire. Small pebbles and a thick cloud of dust flew through the air, but nothing was large enough to do damage. Before Teren could examine, she looked up at him with a slightly defeated face. I believe I know the problem. . . She examined, Using the energy also activates the instinct within me to use it, as when a normal dragon uses magic by mere inspiration. . . This time, it found another route to release. She gave the tone as if she feared that she would never be able to control her power. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

She was quicker about it this time, which meant she was learning and getting better about it even if it didn't seem like it to her. She held the power inside of her for almost a minute before it and the instinct to use it overwhelmed her, causing a broken wall of stone to explode. Medalanim, this isn't something you pick up overnight you know. In fact, you're doing very well. Or did you not notice that it didn't take you as long to find your power this time? he said kindly. It will take practice before you can control it to any great degree. Now, would you be willing to try again, this time with a blindfold? I noticed that you focused on the wall before closing your eyes, and the wall was what exploded. I want to see what happens if we take your sense of sight away. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

It takes all my concentration to even direct my magic, else we would probably be dead in a crater now. She walked a few steps away, looking at the remains of the smoking wood beam she had previously set off. It took a few minutes, but the soft glowing dance of the burning embers calmed her down again to the point where she would be willing to continue.

A little anger and frustration was to be expected when learning something difficult. He had to swallow a chuckle when he remembered his own days of learning to control this power. Briefly an image of a landslide in the Beors and some very angry dwarves ran through his mind, but he stuffed the memory aside. Of course you know your own abilities. That's why they're called "your abilities". he quipped, standing beside her. He studied her for a moment, trying to decide if he should say something else. He snorted and decided not to. She wasn't a hatchling after all. No, I'm afraid not. But I'm sure we can find something to improvise with. he replied, walking off to go look.

She held in her pride to keep her from snapping at him again. Though when he seemed to relax and attempt to go look for a blindfold, he seemed to understand that she needed a break. She calmly walked over in her bitter mood and laid next to her old saddle, and her Rider's remains. Solir, what am I going to do? She prayed desperately. The happy memories of her brighter days were painful to repeat again, but coming here, she knew, would bring them back often. She tried to take her mind off of it, and moved to a different topic. She examined her mind, and studied the wild magic beyond the barrier of her mind. . . It was a soft, yet intense glow of pure energy that still stunned her. She looked back up at Taren briefly before looking back down. If the energy has to be released onto what I focus on. . . I hope this will come out alright. . .

He eventually found what looked like an old curtain in the the ruins of Kurenai's old home. He didn't really want to use something of her's, but it was the only thing he had found that was big enough and in decent-enough shape. The bronze sighed as he picked up the curtain in his teeth and laid it across his shoulders to carry it. (The musty taste of old fabric wasn't pleasant, he didn't think he'd make it all the way back without spitting it out.) He walked back out of her house and took to the air, flying low back to where Medalanim was. He didn't walk up to her immediately though. He was going to wait until she said she was ready before they started again. There was no point in burning out her patience on these exercises before they reached the harder stuff. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

The look on his face was slightly amusing to her; he seemed to not like the taste of it. She stood back up and walked silently to him. He seemed to be biding his time, Medalanim noted, so that he could give her a chance to wait. Patience is one of the many things that all teachers should have. . .

He snorted in approval and stood up. That's the easy part, he replied. The curtain lifted off his back as though the wind had moved it, then crossed to Medalanim and carefully wrapped around her eyes. Taren envisioned a knot in his head, and the curtain obediently tied itself off. There, can you see through that? he asked, gently tugging on the knot with his talons. If she could, then he was going to have to go find something sturdier. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

She was amazed to realize that Taren had been moving it by himself. However she let the curtain tie around her head. She sneezed once and her eyes became very irritated from the dusty fabric, but she nodded in answer if she could see. However, before she could even try, she had a fear of what may happen if she did not focus her energy on anything; the immediate area around Medalanim or even worse, herself, could be in danger. She wouldn't truly care if she survived this or not, in fact, she had been realizing that she was doing this was because she knew the danger and if she was killed, she would be reunited with Solir again. However, Taren's safety was her main concern, so she turned her head around to where she thought he was. This probably is very dangerous. . . She warned, As I have nothing to focus on, the area around me probably will be affected. Stand back. She patiently waited for Taren to get clear before she attempted this task. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

He beat a hasty retreat to a safe spot several feet away. It was in the middle of an open area with no danger of anything collapsing on top of him if the blast was bigger than he anticipated. If there's a blast. he corrected himself. Okay, Medalanim, it's safe to give a go. he called. He withdrew from her mind for the most part, but as always stayed in touch with a slight wisp of thought, just enough to watch what she was doing. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

This was her most dangerous task yet; if she failed, she died. If she succeeded, she was one step closer to controlling her magic. Yet either way, she would get something she had always wanted. She readied herself for a minute before proceeding. Her mind became focused and fortified, and she slowly approached the magic that burned behind her mind. Now or never. . . Live or die. . . She said to herself calmly before beginning to press on the barrier. It shattered as glass, and the overwhelming magical energy of the world filled her entire being again. The instinct to use it immediately came after. She gasped and bared her teeth as she struggled desperately for control. At first, she attempted to open her eyes, yet still she only saw blackness. The magic seemed to loose strength briefly, which allowed Medalanim to gain the upper hand. Yet only a second passed before more came in an even stronger wave that pained her. The energy kept building, and she held her ground. Her body and the air around her began to thrum with the immense power of the wild magic. The ground shook, and a deep tone sounded from what seemed like nowhere. The air began to swirl and shift as a whirlwind, and the dirt seemed to rise in temperature under her claws. It was exhausting work to even keep herself from loosing her mind in such power. . . The magic burning bright like a thousand suns within her mind. She was at her limits, she could not go for much longer. . . But then, right when she felt all was lost and the very world would collapse into the Void, the magic began to dim. Slowly, but surely, it sank back. The air calmed, the ground cooled and became still. Medalanim slowly regained control and fought the energy with a renewed vigor until it was a mere dim glow. A final push caused it to flicker, then flutter out of existence as the light of a candle in the wind. Medalanim let out a deep breath, then collapsed on the ground, unable to stand. This time, the amount of energy she needed to simply let the magic go was staggering. Panting, she warily contacted Taren, a weak smile donning her face, I did it. . . I did it. . . _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Even though there was nothing for her to focus on with her vision impaired, her magic was still fighting to escape, creating an incredible aura of power around her. It was so strong it whipped up it's own whirlwind, sending dust flying around her in a crazy, still tornado. Medalanim! he yelled, struggling to reach her through the wind and heaving earth. He tried to break through it using his own power, but it was too strong, even for him. This is bad, this is very... not good. he groaned, retreating to watch it play out. There was nothing he could do except watch and hope that she managed to pull it together. Even her mind was too hot to touch right now, which was something he had never encountered before, hadn't even known it was possible. He felt like a complete and utter fool for suggesting something so fool hardy as to blindfold her for something like this. Just when he began to feel as if he'd sent her to her death in a pointless exercise, he saw a change in the whirlwind surrounding her. It was weakening! Slowly, ever so slowly, the wind was losing power. He charged forward again, this time managing to reach her side. Medalanim! Medalanim, can you hear me?! he called. He didn't dare remove the blindfold, even though the wind had died down completely. He felt her contact him, a weak contact, but it was there. I did it... I did it... He shook his head in disbelief. All of that insanity, and she still sounded like she'd be ready to try again as soon as she woke up. He huffed in nervous amusement, then flew away to find her something to eat. When she woke up, he tried to not think "if she woke up", she was going to be starving. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

I'll live. She used a bit of her remaining energy to shift her body into a more comfortable position, and then after, lay there nearly motionless. Allowing her energy begin to return to her as she watched Taren leave. By his emotions alone, she knew what he was doing. As Taren went to get something to eat, she recollected on what had happened. I guess I really had scared him. . . She laughed to herself, But why do I have this much power, while he has so little? She became quite puzzled over her own question, but too wary to continue, she lay her head down and calmed her mind and body.

Taren looked doubtfully down on them from above, gliding effortlessly on a thermal rising from the ground. They were much smaller than the deer on the mainland of Alagaesia. I could probably eat four of those and still have room for more, he thought quietly. That was probably all he'd be able to carry as well, if he wanted to be able to land properly. The bronze sighed and settled into a steep, resigned dive. He killed four deer in a matter of seconds, and snagged a fifth in his jaws as it bounded past. He gathered up the others, two in each paw, and headed back to Medalanim. She was awake, but so exhausted she could hardly move. Here friend, I caught you some dinner, he said cheerfully, landing and balancing carefully on his hindpaws. He dropped the deer in front of her in a pile and laid the one in his teeth on top. I imagine it's safe to remove the blindfold now. How do you feel? he said, settling on all fours before laying comfortably in front of her. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

The smell of fresh meat filled her nostrils and when her eyes adjusted to the light, she noticed a pile of small deer that she distinctly remembered grew on Vroengardian soil. They were her favorite meal despite their size, and she missed them much when she had left. She had enough strength to right herself; she was recovering quickly. Her head snapped forwards and bit onto one of the deer hungrily. Between bites she replied to Taren with a gentle smirk, I feel fine. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Of course you do. I mean, it's not as if you didn't just nearly expend all of your energy on a display of power. he said sarcastically. I reckon it'll take you a few days, or a day at the very least, to recover. In the meantime, you can think about what happened and so can I. What do you want to do while you rest? He noticed a bit of blood from the kills had gotten into the crevices between the scales on his forepaws, so he bent his head and started cleaning them. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

Strangely, I do not completely know. That was a very awe inspiring, and terrifying experience. I had so much power. The power to do anything.

He cocked his head and watched her eating for a moment. So it appears that you can't control how powerful the magic is when it leaves your body, and when you try to hold it in, it leaks out. When you're rested, completely, he eyed her, daring her to argue, we'll have another go with the blindfold. We'll keep going with the current exercise until you can hold it in a little better, then I want to try something.

But part of that resilience is pure pig-headedness, and I know because I'm a dragon to. We will wait until I am satisfied that you have had enough rest. With a decent meal in your belly and a good night's sleep, you shouldn't have to wait longer than the morning. he said, chuckling. He waited to see her reaction to that. Patience was not something his other students had been strong in, but they had been only hatchlings. She might not know it, but fool around with a power that strong too often too soon, and she could burn the ability right out of herself. He'd seen it happen before, although granted, never in one so powerful as she. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

She may have had been left out of contact for a hundred years, but she still remembered that mentors deserve respect. Well. . . If you think it is best. . . She shuffled off.

She turned her head to him, showing a sign of the calm sadness she had felt as she had arrived. She wanted companionship because if she wasn't going to be practicing her abilities, she wanted to look through the ruins for her and her Rider's old home. . .

The twinkle left his eyes as she asked him if he wanted to join her on a walk through the ruins. There was a sadness etched into the way she was carrying herself that showed her sadness at being here. He nodded his giant bronze head. I would be honored, he said in a sober voice. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

She solemnly said, drooping her head slightly as she began to silently pad towards her Rider's home. She marched towards the northern part of the city. She could easily fly to her home instead, but her wings were still sore and her energy was still too low to do even that. And now, she just needed the constant companionship and support that Taren gave by being at her side, even though he may know it or not. It comforted her so much that she began to wonder how she had survived those dreadful hundred years without such contact. . . _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

His entire body bespoke the sadness the pair of them were feeling at the loss of their loved ones in the Fall. He looked at the desolation around them and snorted sadly. He could remember the days when all of these buildings were intact and filled with Riders and dragons, and the families of both. He recognized the ruins of the visitor's quarters he had often used when visiting his family here. There wasn't much left, just a wall with a tile mural of a white dragon with a golden sword in it's claws. He didn't think he would have been able to go on if Medalanim hadn't been there, needing his support. If she hadn't, he was certain he would have fled the island right then. Happy memories of time with his family were flooding his mind, along with a cold, furious rage towards the man who had taken them away from him. It was always this way when he thought of his family, but here, in this place where they had died, it was too much. He soldiered on, walking silently beside his friend. He would wait until she spoke, he didn't really feel like starting a conversation at the moment. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

Having family here, she knew that he would probably have visited sometime in the past. She led Taren into the main street of the city; an extremely wide road that could easily fit the largest of dragons. She remembered the tall, white marble buildings that would line it, and the great bridges that would connect them over the road. Now only the few crumbling walls and the stone rubble that laid on the street were all that was left. She looked up, and in the distance, the capital building of the city loomed over them, peeking through the volcanic smoke. Even though the gigantic tower had fallen during the battle of Vroengard, the remaining bottom levels and foundation still stood far taller than the rest of the ruins; a blackened, jagged monument of the destruction that had befallen this place. Only bitter memories of her past came from it. The Elders were some of me my Rider's best friends. . . She muttered to Taren, Vrael and Oromis especially. . . One of my greatest regrets was not being there to stand by them in that last battle. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

I understand how you feel. My parents made me swear in the Ancient Language to flee from the battle, he said, a hint of bitterness in his voice. He would never admit it, but even though he had been forced to leave, he felt like a coward for not staying. He studied the broken remains of the Rider's citadel. A brief memory of racing his brother and his Rider up the side of the building flashed through his mind's eye. The old bronze's heart twinged and he looked away. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

He had lost family here as well as her. My Rider forced me to leave the battle when he died. He used the last of his energy in a spell to lull me into a deep hibernation that lasted for months, giving me the appearance of death. I survived, but I had with reluctance. She looked upon the stone citadel one last time before she closed her eyes and turned away. She felt ashamed, much like Taren was, about not having a choice. She turned out of the main street into a smaller one. From there, she curved in and out of the foundations of large buildings until she eventually reached a stone ramp up the side of the volcanic crater. Knowing that she might regret going up there, she swallowed her fear and climbed it. It was a fairly long distance, but the grade wasn't too steep, and she kept her pace steady. She reached the top, and she closed her eyes and averted her head in the pain that came to her heart. She stood before her home. Once a proud granite and obsidian dwelling that housed both her and her Rider, was now a crumbling pile of unrecognizable rocks that sat on a ledge overlooking the city and a deep, black chasm in the earth that spewed the intense fire from it's very bowels. Tears came quickly to her eyes, and she could not stop Taren from seeing them fall off of her face to the dry ground. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

They walked for awhile, finally reaching a stone ramp that curved and followed the wall of the volcano. When they reached the top, they were greeted by the sight of what used to be a proud home hewn from rock. He remembered flying over this place many times when he had visited, but he had never wondered about who lived here. Now he knew. The bronze looked at Medalanim, and was a little shocked to see she was crying. He walked up to her side and draped a friendly wing over her, crooning softly. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

She silently sobbed; her tears falling to the ground as shining diamonds in the grey gloom. She raised her head, and with her vision still blurred, she let out a great, mourning roar that echoed off of the crater walls. She was roaring in anger at Galbatorix for killing her Rider, she was roaring in sorrow for her Rider's loss, and she was roaring in anguish for not being there for whom she loved; for failing. She held the note for a very long time, amplifying the sound across the entire city, until she stopped. By then, her tears had dried and a calm, dark mood came to her mind. She shrugged off Taren's wing, and skulked towards her home. At least, to her relief, the entrance to her sleeping quarters had survived, even though it was blocked by rubble. She shoved the stone aside with ease, and let out a sigh when it was almost exactly how she remembered. Blue flameless lanterns adorned the sides of a gigantic pillared cave that was moderately decorated with both engravings and colored gems and stone, such as gold, silver, turquoise, sapphires, and even a bit of jade. The ground was soft with a fine sand that didn't dirty her scales, and it had been designed for Medalanim to use for hundreds of years, allowing much room for her growth. Even at her age and size, the cave had room for both Taren and her with plenty of space to spare. The cave had been designed and built all by Solir and herself, and although the memories pained her, it gave her a very satisfying sense of comfort and security that she had not felt for a century. She turned to Taren and let out a relieved smile, her mood slightly brightened. At least my cave has survived. We have a place to spend the night. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

He backed off when she shook his wing off, aware that she didn't need his support anymore. The bronze moved to help her when she started moving rocks away from a doorway into her home, but she had it under control and moved before he had gone a few steps. He peeked inside the lavish cave, rumbling in appreciation. It's a beautiful home, he said to her, moving back again so that she could enter first. It was her home after all, he didn't want to intrude. Do you think you'll be ok for the night, or should I go get some more deer? I know I'd be a little hungry if I'd worked magic like that and only had a few mouthfuls afterwards. How many do you think you'd be able to handle? he asked. If she wasn't hungry then he would maybe go hunt for something of his own, but he wasn't that hungry so probably not. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

Medalanim reluctantly admitted, That meal wasn't even nearly satisfying. She shuffled her feet uncomfortably. I would get it myself, but. . . My wings are sore from the journey. I have enough energy, it's just that I have not flown in a very long time, making even the short journey from the Spine absolute torture. After a minute she retired into the far end of her cave and laid down in what she knew was the softest patch of sand, and where she usually had slept. She rested her head on the ground and closed her eyes. Pretending that she was back in her glory days; when Solir would come and sit next to her head and scratch her neck. Yet the coldness of reality came over her when she again remembered that he was gone; Solir's mind permanently ripped from her's. She let out a great sigh in her sorrow, missing him. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

She felt lonely again as he faded from her sight. She waited a couple minutes, then out of shear boredom, stood back up, looking around. A mischievous thought formed in her mind, and she looked around first before looking out of the cave to see if he was beyond the crater rim. What Taren doesn't know. . . Won't hurt him. She slyly smiled; a flash of her former self showing through. She checked again, and then she closed her eyes. She tentatively moved her mind until she again faced the barrier between her consciousness and the wild magic. She braced herself, and now, she felt ready this time. . . She knew what to expect. She broke the barrier, and immediately she faced the bright energy again. But this time, she let it flow. She did not try to resist it, despite the urge to do otherwise. She let out a deep breath in concentration as the energy saturated her body and the world around her. . . It was so powerful. . . The power was so great, she felt as if she had the very life of the world in her claws. The air again whirled around her, but not as violently, and the ground rumbled. The magic increased and increased until the feeling of a fiery death came to her mind, but then the energy flow began to dim and then cut off. For a split second, she admired the energy burning in her body and mind. . . Until she opened her eyes, this time, by her own will, revealing to her the world that she knew she could shape with her own determination. "Brisingr." The air seemed to stir for a moment, before the patch of sand in front of her lit up, and released a large, twirling blue-iris flame that held bright specks of a darker blue and a brighter violet shining from it's depths. This time, she held it under her control by her own will, using the stored energy in her body as it's fuel. Yet a few seconds later, her control wavered. . . Her body began to feel a horrifying pain as it could not bear the tremendous power that it stored. The flame flickered, and then exploded in a tremendous flash of light that enveloped both her and the entire cave as the wild magic left her body in one instance. She closed her eyes and turned away, awaiting the burning flame to reach her, but strangely, none came but a flash of light that shone through her eyelids and a rush of wind that buffeted her. She waited for a while in confusion, then opened her eyes, and gasped in wonder at what had happened. First, she noticed herself. . . Her body was glowing and glittering like water under a sunset from the energy that coursed through her only moments before. And then, she looked upon where the flame was and found that all the sand within ten feet of the explosion had changed to a swirling, indigo glass sculpture that was shaped in the same manner as the fire before, reflecting the light from both the lanterns and her scales like rippling water, and holding a deep, dim glow of it's own. The sight and feeling of this situation; her shining, electrified scales, the amazing swirling glass sculpture, was awe inspiring, and one of the most beautiful she had ever experienced. . . Then another thought came to her, causing her to panic. Oh no, how can I hide this from Taren? He'll be infuriated! _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

He tilted his right wing up so that he slipped sideways through the air to the left, getting a closer look at a large buck on the edge of the herd. The bronze snorted in amusment, this was exactly the same herd from before. Strong fighter you may be, but you are certainly no expert in the art of concealment my friend, the old dragon chuckled heartily, dropping from the sky. He quickly killed six of the deer, thinking he might like to snack on one of them. Maybe Medalanim wouldn't feel up to five. It really was a little much for a dragon to eat in one day, even for one as old and big as they were. As if his thinking her name was a cue, an enormous explosion resounded through the air, echoing off of the volcanic walls. Taren's head snapped around, his bronze eyes locking immediately onto the small, distant outline of her home. Medalanim! he roared, arrowing into the sky. He left the deer where they were. That explosion sounded bad, and she might possibly need his help. Medalanim?! he roared again, a note of panic in his voice, landing practically on the threshold of her cave. It took his eyes only a few seconds to adjust. And then his heart stopped while his jaw dropped. In the center of the cave was a glorious, indigo statue made of glass. He gazed awestruck at the lights flickering inside it. He turned his head slowly to look at Medalanim, his eyes taking in her sparkling hide, even though there was no light hitting her scales. She seemed fine other than that. His eyes narrowed and hardened, and a low, angry hiss started issuing from deep in his chest. What did you do? he rumbled in a voice like thunder, seeming to grow taller in his anger. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

I don't know what I did. She answered back. She herself didn't really comprehend what had just happened, so she was just as bewildered as Taren was. Except she knew that she started it. Her eyes shifted to the glass flame, then back to Taren, lowering her head down, but not submissively.

Of course you don't know! Even I don't know for sure. You should never attempt something so dangerous by yourself! Do you have any idea how badly this could have gone? Do you? he demanded, still skewering her with his eyes. His posture relaxed a few degrees when she dimmed the light from her scales, but he still glowered reproachfully at her. It was bad enough while you were strong and full of energy earlier. But now? While you are weakened by that excursion? That would have paled in comparison to what could have happened now, he rumbled loudly. He had never, in all of his years as a teacher of the young, encountered a student so foolhardy as this one. And she was older than he was! His eyes flicked up to the ceiling and he took a deep breath, teeth grinding audibly in the cave.

He knew she had to be sore from all of that, but just at this moment, he couldn't make himself care. After all, sore was much better than dead. He turned abruptly and left the cave once more, free-falling from the side of the cliff before spreading his massive wings and letting them fill with air. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

She hated that he thought of her to be so much more less than she really was. Her scales dimmed down almost completely with her rising anger and pride. "I am not weak." She hissed with her voice, "I have survived for one hundred years in the most dangerous of wild lands, one hundred years after I watched my own Rider die before my very eyes! I have been through the greatest dangers and trials that I wish for no one to experience, and you and you think that I am endangering myself?" A flurry of emotions raged through Medalanim's heart, causing a fresh flow of diamond like tears to run down her hardened face. I respect you as a teacher, Taren, but you do not know what it is like to be the dragon of a deceased Rider. Every day goes by, and I wonder why I didn't die. I do these things because I do not care whether I die or not. I do them because the possibility of seeing Solir again, or even forgetting the pain of loosing him after death is just as satisfying if not more than learning how to control my powers. She stopped when she saw him turn and leave and she followed him in a full sprint, raising her wings and diving off the cliff at full speed. She noticed that the magic use had actually replenished her own energy, and the soreness in her muscles had diminished. She sped up to match him, and in mid flight she looked him dead in the eye with a cold, ice blue stare. "Eka vitaí du haski, un thar ero neinn." I knew the danger, and there was none. I only did it because I knew I could. Her utterance of the ancient language caused a visible ripple to be seen down her scales, and with that said, she fell back.

It pained him to hear her talk like that. No dragon should have to feel such sadness, he thought to himself, turning away slightly so that she couldn't see his thoughts on his face. His bronze gaze flicked up to her when she spoke in the Ancient Language. Do not think that just because I am gentler than most wild dragons that I am soft, he growled, looking up at her. He stared for a moment, daring her to interrupt, then continued. I respect the pain you feel, Medalanim. But do you think that if you could talk with Solir just one more time, that he would approve of your reckless disregard for your own life? he said softly, looking away swiftly when he saw the tears on her face. She was in no mood to be comforted by him. OOC: Just a head's up, but my internet is being very temperamental right now, and I may disappear for awhile.

She replied back to his growling warning. Taren's question stunned Medalanim slightly, but she instantly recovered and darkened her gaze. I know very well what he would think. She replied, noticing that Taren had trouble looking at her. She wondered if he regretted being angry, but decided not to trouble him with such a question. She followed him over the rim of the crater with a swift rise and dive. She turned to him, her voice much more gentle. Taren. . . I must apologize for my anger. Though you must know, Solir and I were probably the most reckless, yet inventive out of anyone in the world. It was our reputation to try out things that had never been attempted, to explore where none have seen, to discover things that have never been even thought of; it was what made us so important to many of the Riders because putting our lives in danger normally led to many more lives being saved. Without my own recklessness, I would have never discovered my power. Without Solir's recklessness, I would have not survived the battle of Doru Araeba. My entire life is based on what you would think as "reckless." It is who I am, and both I and my Rider knew that it may lead to our deaths one way or another. . . She paused, lowering her altitude and landing next to the pile of dead deer she assumed was from Taren. And now you are seeing who I really was. If I am able to control the incredible power of Wild Magic, then I could do so much that I have wanted to do for over a century, and more. If I fail and loose my life, I have failed. Solir would have wanted it that way. She sniffed and then bent down to help herself to the carcasses. She singled out a good looking buck, then moved it out of the pile before bathing it in a low flame; thawing and cooking the meat along with singing off the hair. She then resigned herself to eat in silence. OOC: Alright, I'll be patient. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

He sighed, shaking his huge bronze head. I suppose in a way you are correct, but I will have to disagree with you on Solir being pleased with you dying. From what I've seen of Riders and their dragon partners, I'm more inclined to think he would be furious with you. For a time at least, he said thoughtfully, landing beside her. But in these times, I do wish you could curb your... inventive... tendencies just a bit. We need the help of all the dragons we can find if we are to rid Alagaesia of all the evils that walk her lands. he finished, snagging a rather plump, but old, doe from the pile. He blinked and looked up from his snack as he saw out of the corner of his eye moving through the air. It was the fairth of his family; he had forgotten to release it from the magic when he had been a Medalanim's house. It had been following along behind him the entire time. He chuckled and maneuvered it into the fork of a tree branch, propped up to where he could see the image. He sighed then, and turned to look the dragoness. I am sorry as well, for snapping at you. A good teacher must have patience, he said. He hoped she noticed he didn't say he was sorry for being angry. He had a right to that at least. It was the loss of his temper that he was ashamed of. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

She looked down for a moment, then looked back up at the bronze dragon. He would be upset if I died for the sake of dying, yes I agree. But to clarify, we both pledged our lives to those in need, and set ourselves to find the true limits to everything, even if it risked our lives. If I had died, while at the same time I was meeting those conditions; throwing away what many conceive as normal, orthodox, or safe for the purpose of bringing a greater good or new discovery to this world, he would be content, but sad that I would not have been able to pass on what I had learned in my failure. That is what I meant. She resumed eating, looking up from her steaming meat. I only now am realizing what worth I actually have, and I tend to get ahead of myself upon new discoveries, but for your sake, I will hold myself back for the time being. . . If that comforts you at all. She noticed that he apologized for snapping, but not for being angry. She snorted and shrugged it off as he had every right to be. She had apologized for her anger, but had not apologized for her use of magic, so she thought herself as even in that respect. She finished her deer and reached for the next one, cooking it in the same way and even picking a few common, native herbs nearby that she knew would make it taste considerably better. A phrase from Taren repeated itself in her mind when she looked upon the fairth in the tree. Taren, what has become of the Dragons and Riders in my absence? This capital may be in ruins, but by your words it sounds like there is a sense of hope for our race. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

He thought he understood where she was coming from now, but it still made him a little uncomfortable. He thought about mentioning the fact that she wouldn't run the risk of not being able to pass on her knowledge if she would be careful, but didn't. She probably knew that as well as he did. He chuckled as he watched her cook her deer, adding a few herbs to bolster the flavor. I am content with that promise, he said, looking up at her briefly. Then he couldn't control it, he snorted outright at her cooking. Medalanim, I suppose it's not that unusual. But why are you bothering to cook the deer? The curious grin slid from his face and turned into a pensive frown. Well... Galbatorix and the Forsworn did succeed in killing the majority of the Riders and dragons, but as you can see, he was not totally successful. Enough eggs and dragons survived that there are new generations of dragons growing in Alagaesia, and with them, a few Riders. There are even some ancient pairs that were around long before you and I. Whispers come to me through the minds of the animals of dragons from lands far from Alagaesia's shores. In short, dragonkind is hurting, but not so much as we used to believe. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

She had never really been close to any bonded Dragons or Riders, at least in the past, but she had to see the destruction. Perhaps there was something that was salvageable that she could preserve in secret from the King. Since Her True Name had Changed, and the fact that her Eldunari was far away from the Capitol, she was pretty much able to do as she pleased. Unless Galbatorix threatened the life of one of her den-mates. Then she had no choice. She growled to herself at the thought. That drajl, or spawn of maggots, to use an Urgal term, deserved to die a hundred thousand times over. She muttered to herself and narrowed her eyes as she approached Vroengarg, the home of Doru Areaba. She hissed with distaste at what she saw. Smoke, charred remains, and rubble of a once grand city. She crooned to herself at the loss. What a sad waste. It would take years to rebuild, if the Riders ever got the chance to. And the longer this war was drawn out, the less likely that seemed. She folded in her wings and alighted with a low thud, looking around her at the destruction. She sighed and padded forward, becoming more and more saddened the more she encountered. There is nothing left that is worth salvaging, least on the surface. she murmured to herself. She paused when she felt a flicker of something at the edge of her mind. Her eyes narrowed. That had felt like a consciousness. Two, actually. She increased the speed of her pace and navigated her way toward the consciousnesses, slowing once she got near the location. She hesitated; the minds felt draconic now that she was closer. If they were enemies and meant the Dragon Rider Capitol harm, could she drive away two dragons at the same time? She snorted quietly, then thought that she might listen to them for a bit. She opened her mind to them and simply listened for a bit. What she heard was a bit surprising, though not very much. She must have butted in near the end of their conversation. From what little that she heard, she thought that these two might be allies. Perhaps. She decided to find out. She stepped out from her hiding place and padded forward. Dragonkind is hurting, as you say. But there are more of us than you think. Much more. If you wish to know of the goings-on within the Empire and of the staggering number of dragons that have come to be known over the last century, then ask me. I am Leanbrara, but please call me Lean (Lee-ann). she said, and paused while she was still several feet away. She dipped her head to the two younger dragons. I apologize for listening in on your conversation before revealing myself, but I had to make sure you were not enemies first, and that you meant no harm to Doru Areaba. she said sincerely. She eyed the bronze male, tilting her head slightly. She herself was a massive dragon because of her immense age, but this young male was nearly as large as she was. She huffed softly. I mean no harm either, to you or this island. If I had, you would already be dead, and this island's surface razed down even more than it is already. she said bluntly, her navy blue eyes glittering. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal.

Her assumption was right about what the herbs would do, and she hummed in satisfaction when she bent down and took a large bite of her finished venison. She was busy swallowing the large, juicy, and savory piece of meat when Taren seemed to be laughing at her cooking, and wanted to know why she was doing it. She blinked in surprise at him, thinking it was rather obvious. One, the meat's cold. Two, it's more satisfying. Three, I've always done so since I could remember. When he told the story of what had happened, she looked down. She realized that some must have escaped the battle besides her. So few were left. . . But they were also the most powerful. She reviewed her memories before Solir had died, thinking of who would have survived a retreat. Brom and his blue dragon Saphira, a close friend of hers, were already thinking of falling back into hiding. Oromis' Dragon Glaedr would have fought to the end, but he had lost a leg in the first assault, not to mention Oromis seemed very disheartened. But what of Vrael, and his Dragon? She turned to Taren, just about to ask him of what had become of her former mentors and friends, until a voice came in answer to Taren's explanation. She turned to see a black dragon. Her scales were unusual to Medalanim; so dark that they didn't reflect the sun or the white glare of the sparse snow. The dragon's presence was intimidating as much as it was large, and she shrinked back slightly, barely baring her teeth in a low snarl. Whatever it was, there was something about the dragon that caused Medalanim to go on edge. The dragon calmly explained herself, Medalanim learning that her name was Leanbrara. Medalanim relaxed slightly when Lean pledged her intent. Medalanim answered back calmly, straightening and narrowing her eyes while twitching her tail spike to reflect the sunlight. We would never harm this place. . . It was once my home, and I'd destroy anyone who would dare desecrate it's remains. She widened her eyes, letting her burning ice blue stare drill into the ancient navy blue irises of Lean. But such a warning has no effect on me. If you had bore us ill intent, then we could do the same, if not, more. Medalanim warned with a dark tone, establishing themselves on equal ground with the mysterious creature before them, even though she knew Taren might disapprove. She had faith in her abilities in a fight at least, and she wanted to be seen by that creature as an equal so as to keep Lean at bay if she really did want to attack them. But with such words aside, where do you come from, Lean, and what business do you have on Vroengard? _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

I find that it doesn't invigorate me quite as well as fresh meat, hot with it's own body heat, he replied, still chuckling. He ripped a long strip from the doe's ribs and chewed a few times before swallowing. And it's not that cold. He paused in the act of lowering his giant bronze head for another bite, the scales on his back bristling in anticipation. A slight breeze had just wafted behind him, carrying the scent of another dragon, and with it came a tendril of thought, twining through his mind and speaking with the wisdom that comes with great age. He nimbly surged to his feet and turned to face her. There was no threat in the movement, but it showed he was quick on his feet on the ground. If it came to a fight, he could reach her before she had time to get into the air. He really hated fighting and was hoping it wouldn't come to that. Taren glanced sideways at Medalanim, mentally frowning at her tone. It wasn't overly aggressive, but the dark tone left little to the imagination. I am Taren, and I know there are more dragons than there appear to be, he said cautiously. She may say she meant them no harm, but it always paid to be careful. He saw she was eyeing him closely, sizing him up. Is there something we can help you with? he asked abruptly, shifting slightly under her scrutiny. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

It is just the very rare occasion that I meet another dragon that is nearly as large as myself. I only know of five others, you making it six. And no, you can not help me. And to answer your question, I am here to try and salvage anything that I can find of the Dragon Rider Order. Books, Records, artifacts, anything that might have survived. I have a place that I can hide and preserve them for younger generations, when this blasted war finally ends. she grumbled. She was careful not to mention where she came from.

She let out a dry smirk at the dragon's lack of knowledge for her age. Unfortunately, there is not that much left to save. I was here when the city was consumed in flames, then crushed to rubble by Galbatorix's foul magic. However, you are in luck, for only the Elders and their great dragons know more about the Riders and their full history than I. Medalanim's eyes darted to Taren and back, remembering something she had left behind at her cave in the Spine. It was in a secluded place, but for any traveler who had the bravery to enter the area, they would come across a gigantic cliff over a large cave that was smoothed flat by fire, and covered by millions of runes in both the normal tongue and the ancient language that scratched very deep into the rock by her talons to prevent the elements from reaching them. Written during her hundred years in exile, it recounted the entire history of the Dragon Riders with great detail from beginning to end, which concluded with Medalanim's own story and advice to anyone reading it. A timeless monument to her old life that was set so it would not be lost in the ages to come. She projected the image of the stone face to Lean and Taren with a humble gleam in her eye. I myself made such a commitment to the preservation of our legacy while I was alone in the wilderness. The stone is strong and protected, and it shall stand untouched for many thousands of years. Plenty of time for a weary traveler to come across it sooner or later in a time where we may have been forgotten. And if I survive long enough to see the end of Galbatorix, than I shall gladly lead many of those of the new generation to see it. She relaxed slightly more. Feeling a bit more comfortable, yet still tense, in Leanbrara's presence. I had forgot to introduce myself as well. I am Medalanim. Dragon of the late Solir, and great ally and friend to the Elder Riders and any of the Order. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

I doubt there is anything left to salvage in these ruins. I don't even know how much luck it took for me to find that fairth, let alone for it to be undamaged, Taren said sadly, jabbing his tail in the direction of the fairth. He gazed with awe upon the image of the rock face Medalanim projected to him. That is...amazing. How long did it take you? he asked, turning to look at her with wide, impressed eyes.

Gender: Girl Affiliation: Skulblakans Dragon: Faelia	Re: Mourning Lean sighed sadly as the dragoness, Medalanim, spoke of being an Ex-bonded dragon and of being a friend to any of the remaining Elder Riders or those of the Order. Her navy blue eyes darkened. They are all dead, Medalanim. All of the Order, all of the Elders. Or at least, that is what I've been led to believe. If any of the Elder Dragons have survived, then they are under the control of Galbatorix. Oromis and Glaedr were killed just recently in battle. she said grimly. She eyed the stone in her minds eye, pleased that there was such a history piece for the younger generations for once the war was over. She appraised Taren with one eye as he spoke of belonging where her heart was. She snorted at that thought. Her physical heart or her eternal Heart? She huffed. I mean, Taren, that I don't belong anywhere, me, myself. No one would accept me, I know they wouldn't. Both for my age and for what I have become. she growled. She turned away and looked over the city ruins with cold observation. You young ones are always so optimistic of things, hopeful that things will work out and settle into place if you just let them go on there own. I know better. At least for me, things will not work out and settle into place. I'm too old to fit in anywhere in this new age, even once the war is over and a thing of the past. I am a part of the past, of a time long gone that no other dragon remembers. except for one other, her cousin, she amended in her mind. I will be outcast even more once Galbatorix is killed. You just wait and see. she muttered, still turned away and looked over her surroundings. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal. Wiol ono Rest in peace, ILS. You'll be greatly missed...

Many years. I actually finished it the day before I left. When Medalanim learned of the Elders' deaths, she stepped back in shock, a single tear forming in her eye as her jaw dropped. O-Oromis and Glaedr?! She said, near unable to speak with the sudden feeling of loss hitting her like a stone wall. No. . . No! She stamped her feet and roared into the air with a terrifying ferocity; the remaining magic within her flared and released a small but visible wave of electricity that surrounded her. All this time one of her mentors still had lived. And she had missed his death. She ceased her roar and calmed down, but kept her teeth bared. I thought of Glaedr as my own father at one point. . . He was one of my greatest mentors before Vrael's dragon took me under his wing. She admitted with a mourning tone. When Lean began to speak about how she was far too old to belong to the world, Medalanim looked up, her eyes reflecting the many emotions and trials that she had felt before, and were now experiencing now, along with the simmering anger at Glaedr's death. I have every right to think the same as you. Yet I do not. . . I had endured over a century alone, without contact from any sentient being. Coming back here, it all feels like a dream, and the land that I woke up in is unfamiliar and hostile. Yet I press on, knowing that even though the old lands are inhabited by new faces, they will still appreciate my experience. The young look to the old, for the old remember the mistakes and glories of their time, knowing the lessons that history has taught them with bitter experience. She half closed her eyes, her mind in memory. I may be younger, but the memories of even the oldest and wisest dragons resides within me. The voices of the dragons from times far more ancient than even you, Lean, have stayed with me since when they personally shared with me their lives. . . What is wisdom worth if it is not passed on? You will find your place, as I have found mine. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Surely you must have friends, and for you to have friends, someone somewhere must accept you, Taren mused, tucking his muzzle to his chest and peering at her straight-on with his bronze-and-copper eyes. And I do believe things will be better and settle, but I do not for a moment believe they will get there on their own. It will take strong hearts and strong bodies to right what has been wronged. He couldn't help but chuckle when she spoke of being too old to belong. For one so old and no doubt wise, you could still learn a thing or two. The young will never cease to need the wisdom of their elders. There will always be a need for ones as ancient as you. The bronze recoiled slightly at Medalanim's roar of grief. He had to jump back hastily as a surge of electricity leaped out from her body. Taren eyed his friend warily, her power was even more unpredictable when her emotions were high, apparently. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

I have friends, yes. But they are ones that understand and will not judge me for what I have done. The land and its other inhabitants, however, will not. she said patiently to them both. A rumble built itself in her chest; a draconic chuckle. Her eyes twinkled. Even if I am six hundred thousand, three hundred eighty years old? she asked, and smiled wolfishly. Few would probably be comfortable around one as ancient as myself. she said, and chuckled again. She bowed her head at Medalanim's grief. I will say that he did not die slowly. It was quick and virtually painless. she informed the younger dragoness sadly. She too had considered the Pair among her friends, though she hadn't been very close to them. She eyed the female carefully, noting the flare of power that sent electricity crackling along her body. What was that? That you just did, I mean. Beside lightning dragons, I have never seen any of my kin do something like that, unless it was by magical means. she said, and tilted her head curiously. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal.

I guess you are ancient. And answer me this, how are you not the size of a mountain? She blinked in surprise. Nonetheless I am still somewhat comfortable around you, and I don't discriminate you because of your age. I've known a dragon that was at least a sixth your age, and my experiences with him and the other ancients are what allow me to be that open to you. He was ten times my size before he died. She grew somber at hearing how Glaedr died. At least he died in a respectable manner that denied the king of watching him suffer. I was there when the Forsworn took his leg, and I knew that Galbatorix reveled in the sight. It is a sickening memory that I will never forget. . . When Lean noticed the electricity surge, Medalanim's eyes glimmered with a hint of pride. I have a magical ability that few, if not no one, possesses. I can control wild magic. She turned to Taren, however, and made a dry smirk. [i]However, I promised Taren to hold back for the time being. It is very dangerous and very powerful. That display was only the residue of an earlier test; activated by my emotions.

Compared to her, he was just a kitten. A newborn kitten at that. He shook his head and looked at her. I'm afraid if you are holding out for universal popularity, you will be much more than twice your current age before it happens, if it ever does, he chuckled. The comment was meant as an answer for both of hers, and he watched her closely, waiting to see what her reaction would be. Speaking of which, perhaps you should finish your meal and then we can take Lean and show her exactly what you mean by that, he said to Medalanim, nudging a deer towards her with his paw. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

I am female The growth of a female, after the initial spurt, slows down considerably, wheras the male continues to grow more quickly, most likely to become bigger and more muscular and therefore protect their loved ones. My cousin, Aeraldi, is almost four centuries younger than myself, but he is definitely larger than me when in his true form. she said, and grinned wolfishly.

This time, rather hastily. She ate in silence for the next few minutes as she consumed her last deer, leaving only bones in place of the carcass. Looking up, she nodded to Lean. Alright, I would like to show you something. . . Follow me. She nodded to Taren to follow her, and she raised up into the air and over the crater rim. She dove down to her cave, and moved to the side to allow Lean to see the glowing statue. OOC: A bit short.

He flew slightly behind his friends and circled a few times before landing, so Lean could reach the cave first and see the statue within. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

Gender: Girl Affiliation: Skulblakans Dragon: Faelia	Re: Mourning Lean snorted in agreement but didn't respond. She settled onto her stomach and closed her eyes, meditating until Medalanim announced that she wanted to show the ancient dragoness something. Curious, the black got to her paws and opened her wings for flight. Her bulk was too heavy for her to run on the ground for a moving taking off, so she had to use brute strength to lift her body into the air. Her wings and wing shoulders were heavily muscled to aid in this, so she had little trouble getting airborne and keeping up with the younger dragoness. When they arrived at the cave she worried that she was too big to fit inside, but found that she actually had quite a bit of room to move and shift about. She studied the statue with awed navy blue eyes, snorting lightly so that blue-black flames swirled gently about the glowing piece, but did not cause harm to it. It is truly a piece of art. I am guessing that you made this with your magic? Well done. The Dragon Rider Council would be green with envy if they were to see this. she said, and grinned a bit, her eyes sparkling. It was saddening that this statue would not be recognized as art for a long time, if ever, but she refused to think of that. She looked up at Medalanim. Glaedr would have been pleased with this. she praised, and smiled at the younger female. She moved away, settling down just outside the cave entrance to give Medalanim and Taren space. What do you plan-- she cut off and winced, grunting as pain spiked through her skull. A voice thundered in her mind, causing her scales to bristle. Leanbrara, where did you go now, you worthless dragoness!? roared Galbatorix angrily. She growled under her breath and lifted her mental barriers to block the fell king out. Without her True Name or her Eldunari, he could not control her anymore. Except through blackmail. She went still. Would he hurt Thorn or Keia if she didn't answer him? She hesitated, glancing at Medalanim and Taren. She couldn't put them in danger either. Oh, demons above and below, what mess had she gotten herself, and them, into now?

It is beautiful, but knowing Glaedr, he would not be proud of this or me. I made this by accident while experimenting with my connection with wild magic. It is wild and beautiful, much like the dragons that are born with it, but it is also unpredictable. I half expected to cover this entire city with a magic inferno when I attempted the spell. Taren, who's rather soft, was fuming but didn't stay mad for long. Glaedr would not so kind to grant me any mercy. . . She paused as Lean seemed to be troubled. She grunted and seemed to be fighting something. Medalanim first leaned towards her to help, but she sensed a vile dark energy surrounding Lean briefly before she cut off her mental connection with Medalanim. . . She did not know what it was, but it was all too familiar and terrifying, sending a primal hatred and fear crawling through her body. A dark thought passed through her mind, but she kept it secret. Instead, she reared back and widened her eyes, studying Lean closely and tensing her muscles. If her theory on what that dark presence was was correct, she was ready. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Soft am I? If I had chosen to, I could have whipped your tail like a hatchling from one side of Doru Araeba to the other, he teased, his eyes twinkling. He turned to smile at Lean, but froze when he felt a presence in her mind. He saw her tense up and look sick about something before her mind was closed off. His eyes narrowed slightly and his smile turned a bit hard and cold. He recognized that presence, as well as any dragon should who had been around during the Fall. He shifted slightly so that he was resting back on his hindlegs. To anyone looking at him, it would look like he was simply taking a break, but inside he was tense and ready for action. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

She saw Medalanim react as she sensed the dark presence, and Taren's 'relaxing' movement. She snorted. You see? People around me get an inkling of the truth and they either cower away or attack. I do not serve him willingly! I never did! she growled, her navy blue eyes hot with indignation. Her tail lashed, snapping a thick beam of wood into splinters. She was old, and she was strong, but Galbatorix also had the aid of several hundred Eldunari. He wedged his way into her mind, like a splinter working its way underneath the skin, but his mental touch was poisonous. A whine was forced from her throat and her eyes slammed shut so she could concentrate better. Stay away from me. Leave Thorn and the others alone. I will not have you controlling every move I make! she snarled, slamming her mind against his. She felt him wince and she bristled with brief triumph. I am not a hatchling for you to herd back home. she barked once more. He laughed darkly, and it sent chills down her spine. She snarled audibly in reply. Get out of my head, you leprous son of a jackal! You do not deserve the honor of having dragons serve you willingly! she roared with her thoughts, her navy blue eyes raging. Galbatorix's response was to hammer against her mind, which made her knees buckle and she sank to the ground, groaning. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal. Wiol ono Rest in peace, ILS.

Lean growled painfully and regretfully that she did not serve him willingly, and snapped a beam of wood with her tail. She struggled some more, and eventually Lean's knees buckled and the old dragon moaned as she began to loose the mental battle. Medalanim knew many of Galbatorix's tricks, and she feared that he was going to control her. It was a common trick that he used back in the Fall, and surely he would still use it today. Medalanim looked deeply into her own soul, fighting her instincts. She had just realized that Lean had worked for, and might still be working for Galbatorix. . . The thought released a wave of rage that she had not felt for a century. Yet. . . How Lean was fighting him off made Medalanim sympathize with her. She knew that Lean was trying to hold him off with all she had, which any spy would not dare attempt unless they wished torture or death. She knew one thing that she could use to save Lean and hold off Galbatorix so she could question Lean herself. . . Her own magic. But of course, it was dangerous, and she had never thought of using it to protect another's mind before. She thought for a second, then turned to Taren, who she knew she would have to get through to attempt such a task. Taren, she needs help. You know as well as I do on who is trying to enter her mind, and I fear what he will do when he does. I- I think I can protect Lean from him with the wild magic. . .

There was no doubt in his mind anymore about what her allegiance to him was as he watched her fight. Fight him Lean! Don't let that toad in your head! he rumbled, knowing that her mind was closed to everyone and that she couldn't hear him. His head snapped around to Medalanim as she spoke and he stared at her for a few seconds, then reluctantly nodded his head. He was anxious to help Lean, but he was wary of letting Medalanim put herself in danger again. Alright, do what you can, but first... he said, then reached out with his mind. He blanketed Lean's consciousness with his own in an attempt to put a buffer between her mind and Galbatorix's probe. Since the king had never forced entry into Taren's mind, he had less of a chance to do so now, with two dragons working against him, and a third about to burn his mind with magic. Back OFF! he roared at the king, and shoved against his mind. The king's probe stuttered for a few seconds, then came back again in force. Taren gritted his teeth in a vicious snarl and reached out a tendril of thought to Medalanim. I'm ready! I'm shielding her from whatever you're about to do, so only he will be affected, he said, bracing himself. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

Gender: Girl Affiliation: Skulblakans Dragon: Faelia	Re: Mourning Lean growled to herself as Galbatorix managed to gain ground in the fight, first in centimeters, then in inches. However old she might be, however much strength she might have, he was beating her. Abruptly she felt another mind join in the fight. She thought it might be Shruikan, or one of the other dragons, and groaned. Her eyes flashed open in shock when she recognized the mind as Taren's. She felt humbled that he would help her. They were more or less strangers, yet he still aided her. She closed her eyes and gathered her strength, then lashed out with it like a mental whip. The whip crashed against Galbatorix's probe and made him hesitate for a while longer. A reprieve for you. she told Taren tiredly. The ground shook as Lean's body thudded onto its side. I can only do that a few more times. If your planning something, now is the time. she groused to Taren, her eyes fluttering closed with fatigue. She wanted to sleep, but forced herself to alertness. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal. Wiol ono Rest in peace, ILS. You'll be greatly missed...

While Taren was forming the buffer on Lean's mind, and while she extended her consciousness to the barrier that held the wild magic, she made one final warning to Taren: Do not look into my mind. It will harm you. She steadied her stance, grounding herself, and focused directly on Lean. This time, unlike anything before, she had a reason to control her power. . . A actual focus for her energy. She rammed her mind into the barrier and immersed herself into the energy. It flowed seemingly stronger than before, feeding on her own raging emotions, yet she still held a firm hold on it's course. She stored the energy within herself, allowing the magic to saturate her body and mind. Her consciousness could only see a white hot energy, while her scales began to glitter, and the air around her began to shimmer. She blinked, and when she opened her eyes, her eyes glowed a brilliant ice blue. When Medalanim felt satisfied, she began to focus on releasing the still building energy. She shaped her mind into a razor sharp spear that was flaming with the wild magic, and propelled it into the mental battlefield. She surrounded all the minds, and once she found Galbatorix's, she crushed it with her magically enforced mind. The mind stood for a moment, then faltered and fell back under the burning pressure. THIS IS FOR MURDERING MY RIDER, GALBATORIX! she yelled as she again pressed against the king's mind, causing him to fall back. He put up a fight, but even the darkest and most powerful normal magic could not hold strong against her. She forced the mind farther and farther back, until she began to chase it out. Then finally, the presence retreated, and it was gone for good. She felt enormous joy in being able to take some type of revenge against Galbatorix, but the joy was cut short when she felt a pain in her body. The energy needed out or else it would slip out of her control. She turned her attention to the boulder in the distance, and released everything she had into it. The boulder glowed first a red, yellow, then a white hot, until it combusted and then disintegrated under the power with a bright and powerful explosion of blue-violet fire that reached into the sky. It was so intense that Medalanim could feel from even her distance. But as soon as it began, it was over, and Medalanim stood there, breathing heavily with astonishment and joy with what she had done. It took her a while, but then she shook herself out of it and looked worryingly at Taren and Lean, checking to make sure that their minds weren't scared by her power. She also noticed again, her scales remained glittering like before. She wondered if it was a side effect of using her magic. . . _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Medalanim is working on something to help, Taren replied, bracing his side against her's. The words had hardly washed across their mental link than Medalanim was warning him not to look into her mind, and then a burning hot spear composed of wild magic and Medalanim's mind shot past his own mind, which was still buffering Lean's. He physically flinched as the probe went by and a flicker of stray magic touched his mind, burning him where it connected. He gritted his teeth and "watched" as Medalanim forced the king away, chasing him with the fury of a bereft dragon. It didn't take the dragoness long to force the king to leave, and just when everything seemed calm, she twisted her head around and released the remaining energy into the boulder she had indicated earlier. Well done Medalanim! he said with a grin, unwrapping his mind from around Lean's. He turned back to look at the ancient black and cocked his head to the side. I have questions for you, but they can wait. How are you feeling? he asked. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

Gender: Girl Affiliation: Skulblakans Dragon: Faelia	Re: Mourning Lean nodded and braced herself for whatever it was that Medalanim was planning. She'd barely done anything before she felt something blast by Taren's barrier. It was wild and powerful, very powerful. She watched with her mind in astonishment as the wild magic was able to push Galbatorix away with ease. She let her guard drop once it was certain that he was gone. She heard Taren speak to her. She could not help snorting softly. She opened one navy blue iris and stared at him for a moment, neither hostile or friendly. Finally she sighed and closed her eye once more, relaxing her body onto the ground. Very well. I am fine. Galbatorix has done much worse to me than just give me a headache. It's more like an irritating fly that I can't get rid of. Ask what you may. But let me get this straight to you now; Galbatorix is no friend or ally of mine. she said, and lifted her upper lip in a silent snarl of contempt. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal.

Taren seemed to be alright, but Lean looked tired. She snorted when Lean denounced her affiliation with Galbatorix, sensing the truth in her words. It is good that you are not, else your ancient life would have quickly reached it's end. . . He has torn loved ones from both Taren and I long ago, and he needs to face the consequences of his crimes. Medalanim punctuated her sentance with an irritated jet of flame from her nostrils. She then turned to Taren curiously, awaiting to see what he was about to ask Lean. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

I would have to be an idiot to still believe you are loyal to him, after watching you fight him so hard; and I know you weren't faking because I was in your head, he replied, his eyes twinkling. He sat back down and curled his long, bronze tail around his forepaws. Now, how did you come to be in his service? Does he have your name? I know it can't be your heart, else you would have had no choice but to let him in and obey him. he continued, his head cocking to the side once more. He tentatively reached out with his own mind and magic, pushing his intention to heal her headache ahead of the magic. In his mind's eye, he was laying a web of healing magic over her mind, soothing the irritated and aching areas. He had done this to himself multiple times over the years, and he knew the cooling sensation, like a mountain lake in the summer, could make a ton of difference in someone's well being. _________________ You are most like SAPHIRA Like the majestic dragon, Saphira, you are brave and ferocious in battle but also deep in ancient wisdom.

Gender: Girl Affiliation: Skulblakans Dragon: Faelia	Re: Mourning Lean snorted quietly at Medalanim. Perhaps, if you were able to attack me with your wild magic. Even so, I think you would have found a decent opponent in me. she said, and smiled, amusement twinkling in her navy blue eyes. She raised an eyeridge at Taren, then settled back and closed her eyes. Perhaps you don't know, but Galbatorix had a female dragon at first. Her name was Jarnunvösk. She was a beauty for a dragon, at least in my opinion. She was killed by Urgals when they went on a mission of sorts. I know this because I was present for the kill. Galbatorix tried to save her but to no avail. I fled to the nearest Rider Outpost at the time to alert them of the death. When Galbatorix came in, by himself, he was so...lost. she opened her eyes and looked straight at Medalanim. You can understand, Medalanim, what it was like for him. And when he was denied another companion...A shiver goes down my spine at the memory of his expression. I knew it wasn't over. I hid for ninety some years, and then Shruikan, his current dragon, who was stolen from another Rider, found me. He took me to the Capitol and I met Galbatorix again. she sighed sadly. Oh how he had changed, into a twisted, sick-minded man. When he was young he was ambitious yes, but not outright evil. Lean closed her eyes again and breathed for a moment, recuperating. Galbatorix had put quite a strain on her mind. When she spoke again she sounded tired. He did guess my Name at one time, but since then it has changed. My Heart is safely away from Uru'baen as well, with a close friend of mine. she paused once more, then wearily opened her eyes. I stay to protect them. All of the dragons that he controls, and even some of the twolegs. I protect and shield them all from his madness as best that I can. That is how he controls me sometimes. He threatens the life of one of the others, and I obey him like a scorned puppy does its master for fear of the next blow. she said bitterly. She looked up at the sky. He will probably send someone to check up on me. I couldn't keep my location from him before you shielded me, Taren. I hope he sends Keia and not Thorn or Shruikan. she mused aloud. Keia was a sienna colored dragoness that had seen the final truth after being sent after a Dragon and Rider pair, Violeta and Natagath. If Keia came, Lean could trust her. But Thorn and Shruikan...most likely she would have to fight them off. She shifted her gaze back down to Taren and Medalanim. Do either of you have any more questions that I can answer? she asked. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal. Wiol ono Rest in peace, ILS. You'll be greatly missed...

I have more than just magic to kill you, Lean, but I do not doubt you would fall without a fair fight. When she heard Galbatorix's story, Medalanim's face darkened, along with the glittering in her scales. I know the story of Galbatorix, and I had personally met him and Jarnunvösk when they were considered to be. . .Normal. Many times I substituted for his teachers, and I personally saw their minds. Medalanim looked down towards the ground, letting out a slow, solemn sigh. Galbatorix was talented and ambitious, but naive, and Jarnunvösk I knew was innocent, but blind as Galbatorix influenced her thoughts more to match his own. Turning to Lean, she narrowed her eyes, showing her bitter heart. To correct you, Lean, when they left that day, they had not been given any assignment from the Elders. They were going to attempt genocide of the Urgal peoples in the north. . . To kill everything there, and obliterate the Urgal race from Alagaesia forever without any true reason but blind scorn. It was against the Rider code, and he would have been in much trouble anyways even if his dragon had survived the ordeal. He was foolish to even think of such a thing. She paused, feeling the deep hatred for the king seep into the gap that Solir had left behind. And then. . . Ever since I saw a memory of Galbatorix's reaction from Glaedr when his outrageous proposal was denied. . . It haunted me forever, and told me that he had chosen evil. I do know the feeling of loosing your companion, but I would have never gone to those extremes. . . In fact, I had ever since seen death as an eventual end for my life, which purpose now is to watch the tyrant fall. Though, I know Galbatorix knows me, and probably recognized me as I pushed him away, for only Brom, Oromis, Vrael, and their dragons contributed more than Solir and I in the Rider war. I think he will be very interested in sending someone, and I am prepared to either fight or negotiate, according to whom he sends. Her dark look was then replaced by a curious, albeit worried demeanor. Which leads to my question to you Lean. Would to be so kind as to just summarize the events over the past century? I am prepared to face even the worst of news that you may have, I just want to know what has become of these lands, and my friends. _________________ o)===={(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Brisineo and Vedrian Calem Medalanim Nesa Tyran Vaerin <::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)}====<> --WARNING-- If you or someone you know experiences 5 or more of these symptoms: -Smug, relaxed, or gentle grin plastered on face-Random giddiness-Irrational desire to talk about ponies/ show off ponies-Daydreaming-Urge to listen to, whistle, hum, or even sing MLP songs or Brony songs-Urge to sporadically do something good-Draw Ponies-Watch episodes of MLP-Urge to write/read Fanfiction-Irrational joy-Urge to sing MLP songs at the top of your lungs, despite others around-Listen to MLP songs full volume on the biggest speakers you can find-Pinkie Pie like giddiness and energy-Loss of the ability to feel shame and disappointment-Elated euphoria every time you say something pony related-Carefree thoughts-increased energy in movements and walking They might like the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Gender: Girl Affiliation: Skulblakans Dragon: Faelia	Re: Mourning Lean snorted quietly and then listened to Medalanim as she spoke. She was too tired to argue any points, if there were any, so she just kept her eyes closed and breathed evenly. When the younger dragoness asked about the events spanning the last century, she opened both eyes and hesitated. I do not know everything, mind you. I was in hiding for ninety some years before Shruikan found me and brought me to Uru'baen for the next decade. she warned. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, closing her eyes once more. Instead of telling everything with words, she connected her mind to theirs and simply showed them. It was a while later that her eyes fluttered open. That is all that I know, from my time in the Empire. Eragon and Saphira are getting stronger as we speak, and soon they should be able to confront Galbatorix himself. she said tiredly, and ruffled her wings. She grunted and rolled to her stomach. And they must be the ones to take down the king, Medalanim. They must remain ignorant in that they are not alone. Thinking that they are the last free dragon and Rider will fuel their anger and hatred of the king and make them push themselves to the utmost limit. she opened her eyes and shook herself, rustling her scales dryly. She looked up at the skies, scanning it for the sienna colored form of Keia. Another hour, maybe, before the one he has sent arrives. she mused aloud. She looked down at Medalanim and Taren. When whoever it is arrives, please let me see who it is before you attack. Not all of the dragons that serve Galbatorix are willing ones, much like me. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal.

Galbatorix's rule spreads north to Utgard and beyond, and south to a rebel country. The dwarves and elves beaten back. . . Great strongholds fallen to ruin. And only one force of the united races led by a single Rider and Dragon to bring the king down. But the identities of the Rider and Dragon opposing Galbatorix intrigued Medalanim the most, and their mental images just as so; a rugged elf. . . Or was it a human, of very humble origins and almost a scared, but angry look about him, beside a deep blue dragon that showed a proud but slightly naive ferocity. They weren't the perfect team to face Galbatorix. . . But from Lean's mental picture, and by their peculiar appearance, they obviously had something up their sleeve. Eragon and Saphira. . . Medalanim chuckled. Powerful names. Very powerful. . . Saphira's name interested Medalanim more because she knew of only one dragon with that name: Brom's dragon. She turned to Lean, showing her interest. Were Brom and Saphira associated with this boy in any way? I cannot escape the feeling that they were. They were some of my closest friends at the time, but I thought they died during the war. Medalanim turned to Taren, If you know anything as well, please tell me Taren.
