Ioksok was walking to the comand tent, he saw many fimilear faces. when he arrived at the tent there was a urgal, Nussada, king Orin, Arya, and all the Dragon riders that came to the battle. "Is every body here" asked Nussada, every body noded. The leaders discussed there plans, and got ready for the seige. When every body was gone Ioksok went up to Nussada and asked "Do you have my money good lady?", she gave him the money, and he left. He mounted Fang and flew into the air to see the the armys movements, the Urgals formed the first three waves the dwarves behind them. with the humans and spell casters in the rear, with catapults and siege towers. The dragon riders had there body guards by them. "It's going to start soon" Ioksok said to Fang as they landed. He heard a fimiliar voice on his way to his tent.

Serias was looking out toward the horizon from the back of his silver dragon, Chronum. Serias' golden eyes glowed with immortal power. His body brimmed with the power of the Ancients, the ones who had given him power over almost every being, even dragon riders. I sense a battle will soon begin, he said mentaly to his ancient dragon. Chronum gave a quick nod. Let us see what is to come, the dragon replied.We may earn some money. After all, we could kill the whole army. Serias got on his dragon, his cloak flapping in the wind. The mighty wings of Chronum began to beat with powerful force. He gained altitude, and flew to the battle.
They landed on the battlefield after numbing the minds of the archers with ease, as well as all of the riders. There was a certain thing about one of him. When he broke through his mind, he saw his name...Ioksok...

what are you doing in my head Ioksok asked, he was siting on Fang waiting for the messenger to return. He could see the walls lined with archers, Ioksok was imagining the lines of soldiers that were behind the gate. "what glory there will be after this battle he drew his sword, the messenger came "they will not surender, sir"he said, "go report to Nussada" Ioksok told the man. it will begian at sunrise tomarrow we should get some rest Fang said.

Serias smiled and withdrew from the contact with Ioksok. He leapt with amazing speed past rows of archers stringing their bows, and warriors, with just about every weapon they could possibly have. A lot of them were boys, no younger than thirteen. Serias landed, light as a feather, next to Nasuada's tent. He could hear voices. His keen, long, and pointed Dark elf ears heard it all. "The scouts have reported seeing a silver dragon,"said Nasuada as Serias put his ear against the fine cloth covering of the tent. "We may be under attack." Serias straightened up. Turning invisible, he crept into the small area. Nasuada's skin like oiled ivory shone in the candles around her, and some of her advisors were talking between eachother. Slowly turning visible, he saw the look of surprise on the men's faces. "Intruder!"they yelled."Attack!" With quick succession, he taped gently on the five men's pressure points, and they fell, unconcious, to the ground. Turning to Nasuada, who held a kiris in her dark hand, Serias made a short bow and began to talk,"I am the Ancient Guardian of Lore, Serias. I have come to ask for permission to serve you. I am probably the best with magic here, as well as swordsmanship." Nasuada gave him a short look. "And do you swear in the ancient language to serve me till this battle is over?"came her question. Serias gave a quick nod and recited the verses of the promise. When he was done, Nasuada gave him a smile and then asked,"And how do you wish to serve me?" To this, Serias grinned back. "I think I should take control of the riders. I could teach them a few more decent spells, and better swordsmanship." Walking out of the tent, he took a deep breath and headed to the Rider's tent, the red sun shining behind him like a signal of war.

"All riders are to report to Nussada's tnet" Ioksok heard the call and walked to her tent. looking around at the men and women standing next to him, he noteced some he knew. A tall man was walking down the line of rider he pointed to Ioksok "you shall be my sub comander" he said. he told all the riders what he wanted them to do. who are you asked Ioksok with his mind.

OOC: Ioksok, PLEASE check spelling and grammer. Your posts are very difficult to read.

Serias turned toward the one talking to him. No one you need to know of,he said with a smile at Ioksok. He walked out then turned to Nasuada. "There is a messenger, another one." Running at blazing speeds, he ran to the front of the Varden army. A man on a white stallion was riding toward them. He stopped far away from the army and yelled,"You have once again trifled with the mighty King's plans, and he demands war, for he is here and will slaughter you all!" Serias sighed. "Enough of this!" With a flick of his palm, an ark of lightning came down upon the man, who screamed blindly as the maelstorm enveloped him, then dissapeared, leaving a pile of ashes. The sound of Galbatorix' horn blew with a sound that shook the very ground. An army of one hundered-thousand men charged at the rebels. Serias recoiled, then smiled. This was going to be pleasant after all. Chronum swooped and Serias jumped on his back. "Charge!" roared Serias with the voices of the Ancients fusing with his own. The Varden soldiers began to sprint at the army like a million bright stars, their shiny plate armor reflecting the rising Sun's rays. Serias contacted all of the dragon riders quickly, telling them to inform his of any challenges or questions they had. To Ioksok, he said,Remember, split into the five groups. The enemy archers will have trouble choosing targets. Galbatorix has some riders of his own, the new Forsworn. Then Serias saw them. A thick line of dragons, all of them either black or red, fly towards their flying brethern. It has begun.

"Groups of five, move move" yelled ioksok there were twelve riders one group took off then another, leaving Ioksok and a new rider. they were up in the air Follow me Fang said to hte new dragon. The new forsworn were to cocky they where fling by them selves. Fang attacked first he dove at the black dragon from above then sharply pulled up he bit the riders head off. The black dragon fell, and hit the ground. Big red dragon Came a frantic call from his partner. Ioksok and Fang turned around and looked to see a giant red dragon flying at them.split apart Ioksok said to his partner, they split up to flank the big dragon. all three of them heard a call from above.

OOC: Ioksok, to fix your posts, try typing them on a word processor (Microsoft word, ect.) and then copying and pasting them. Your posts are always done with bad grammer, and you seem to be ignoring my posts to you.

Erais and Erador saw the battle comence.

Should we go. Erador asked.

Yes. It will be most fun. She replied.

Erador then jumped off the cliff htey had been on. They were soon in the battle Erador was extremly fast. She kept dogging the blows pointed at her. Erais jumped off----20 feet----she landed with a thud. She charged at the men. She got a few cuts since she didn't have armor. Same with Erador. Erais then jumped on Erador as she dived to the ground. They were soon on the air. Erais caught a glance at Chronum and Serias.

Fang pulled up sharply as the fed dragon bit at his wing, in the same moment he hit Ioksok partner with his tail unsatling the rider and breaking one of the dragons wings. When they were out of the picture the dragon turned his attention to fang. Ioksok had his bow out and drew an arrow, he shot the dragon in the eye but the evil dragon slashed Fang in the face with one of his claws. Then they came together, both were tring to bite echothers necks. The grapling dragons landed hard both riders were unseted, Ioksok got up and drew his sword the other rider was up and had his sword out to. Ioksok attacked aming for the riders head the other man twisted slightly but Ioksok hit his helmet and it fell of. They were fighting for ten minutes and both started to tier. with his last burst of energy Ioksok fliped his enemys sword away, he lunged and hit the man in the chest but the other rider slashed at his face with a dagger from his belt. Leaving Ioksok with a bloody slash over his eye. Ioksok looked at the fallen rider and went to loot his body, "loot is all part of war" he said to him self and looked at the mans sword it was Red the color of Fang and the dead riders dragon. Ioksok took the sword and sheath. Back to the battle he said to Fang. They started fighting agian.

There was one rider being attacked on the ground. Erador let Erais off. Then Erador lunged at the enemy. Even though she is small she unfooted the enemy dragon. Erais kept her hood on. She joined the ally dragon rider. They soon had their enemy vanquished. She then started at the men on foot. She slashed here and there. She had a bloodied cut on her arm. She now regreted not bringing any armor. Then again she didn't have any.

Serias looked around the battlefield from above. This isn't working too well,said Chronum as a black dragon flew at him, only to be killed by Chronum's silver flame. Alright, I see Galbatorix. Drop me off,Serias replied with a grim smile. Not even the King stood a chance against the Guardian. Landing on the ground, light as a feather, Serias turned to the evil King, who drew his blade and charged. Galbatorix slashed with such speed that it surprised Serias. He is pretty good for a human, Serias thought while blocking the blows with ease. He felt his foe try to attack his mind, but only hurt himself. After launching a heavy blow, the King's guard was down. Quick as lightning did Serias strike. Once on the thigh, once on his blade arm, and twice on his chest. Muttering the healing words, Galbatorix began his attack once more. Serias gave a sigh. By know he thought that people should learn from his mistakes. Galbatorix roared as Serias' sword found it's mark.
Chronum released a torrent of platinum flame as Shruikan, who was already ingured really badly. The black dragon dodged just in time, but felt agonizing pain as a silver claw struck him in the back. Shruikan shot out a black flame, but missed, for Chronum was faster. Using the power of the Ancients given to him, he fly at such speed that he rearanged the air particles, and went right through Shruikan, firing a silver naplam from his mouth. Shruikan, ingured almost to the point of death like his master, flew down and picked up the evil Rider, retreating back to Ura'Baen.
Serias turned and saw a green dragon, at least twice as small as Chronum fighting with it's partner. Serias knew who the cloaked figure was immediatly, for he recognized the fighting style, the one he taught. "Erias," whisper Serias softly and dashed into the battle, evil winning. He ran beside Erais quickly, and began to help her fight off the mass of soldiers that were piling on to her. Summoning words of power, he summoned normal steel armor that covered her body. He could see her syrprise, even under her cowl. This battle is far from won, said Chronums voice in his head.

Ioksok saw a silver dragon and a black dragon fighting as he Fang caryed him to Erias's side, they fought hard but the men keep on coming. Ioksok got shot in the shoulder, but he could not see out of his left eye. Ioksok was looking for more riders when he saw them retreat to the safty of the walls. "The forsworen are runing like dogs." he yelled, as he cleved in the helm of the man in front of him. Fang was stabed in the chest with a spear. Fang twisted his neck so he could snap the shaft. Ioksok dismounted and fought on foot, he saw a soldier throw a spear at him which he grabed out of the air and threw it back at the man killing him.

Serias saw the rest of the Forsworn retreat. Foolishness,said Chronum as he swept down and Serias jumped on his back. Stay here until the battle is won, Serias mentaly told.Please do not follow me, or it will lead to your death.
Ura'Baen was exploding with activity aas the Forsword flew up into the cloads. Chronum followed them lightning fast to the castle in the clouds.It was an amazing sight. The walls of silver and gold shone brightly in the rising sun, now very high up. Serias was fifty feet away from the nearest rider and dragon. Go back and help finish the battle,Serias told Chronum as he leapt and grabbed the dragons tail. The Forsworn quickly noticed, and drew his blade, but before it was fully out, he was already dead. The dragon roared from mental shock and began to acsend slower. Just a little more, thought Seris to himself as he felt the momentium lessen. Leaping as high as he could, he grabbed the very bottom of the catsle, which was about seventy feet from where the mad dragon was twisting like a serpent after a mouse, then fell through the clouds, never to be seen again.
Serias quickly ran through the front door, dead guards behind him, the bloodied sword gleaming in the torchlight. Only twenty Forsworn were left now, fifteen of which fled with their master. That left five to deal with, which was as hard as killing a deer with magic.
The wounded riders gazed at the cloaked figured dashing at them, their swords raised. They attacked all at once, after which three fell to the ground, never to move again. The other two began to run, but were struck by lightning summoned by Serias. He gave a laugh. The castle was cleared. He walked out of the mighty hall, to see the battle on land still being won by the soldiers of Ura'Baen.

Ioksok and Erias were killing soldiers when they saw Nussada get hit with two arrows, "go see if she is ok" yelled ioksok to Erias over the sound of the battle. whith Erias and Erador gone Ioksok and Fang were totaly focused on the battle. Ioksok thrust his sword into on of the mens throte killing him instantly he ducked a chop of an axe takeing out his dagger to kill the man with the axe. With both sides suffering teribel loseses, Ioksok heared horns beign blown "The elves" some of the men were yelling now with renewed vigor.
The day was won but many of the men defending Ura'bean surenderd. after the battle a councle was called Ioksok was th third to arive. Two urgals were standing to the side of the tent, while king Orin and king Orik were talking quitly with arya and Nussada, several others were there also. Serias started talking when Erias walked in and stood next to Ioksok. The group debated foe hours weather or not to purssue the king.

Serias stood in the shadowy corner, golden eyes shining in the darkness. He walked outside, looking at the battlefield. Many riders a dragons lay dead on the ground, their eyes staring blankly at the sky or ground. Chronum was walking around the plain, looking angry, snorting silver flame everywhere. Well?asked the mighty leviathen. They are deciding whether to follow Galbatorix, whispered Serias mentaly as he gazed at the many corpses. So many people. And all of them died to see that their enemy had fled.Serias snarled. He ran toward Ura'Baen, his cloak fluttering, Chronum flying behind him.
The citys people were still full of great shock from the war that had enveloped their land. Serias walked from house to house, offering help to those whose husbands had been killed. He felt their grief, for a dark elf woman he knew had suffered the same.
Mid-day came quickly and the rest of the Varden army filed into the powerful capital. The elves had claimed the land behind the spine to be theirs, and many of the elves in the deeper parts of Du Weldenvarden had come out of their forest home to celebrate the defeat of the King. Nasuada had ordered houses to be built outside the wall's perimeter. Serias had lowered the huge castle to the ground, and the rest of the riders had gained quarters there. A City Meeting had been called. Nasuada stood on the lowest balconey, staring out at the whole city that had assembled in he wake. "A new age has begun,"she began."An age where all are equal, not pawns in a game of murder." She looked around at the wide eyes that forced her to continue. "It is time for us to start a new way of life. No longer will beings take the throne without approval. The people will now vote for the person they want to be the King of the empire!" The people cheered. "The votings shall be looked at in one week. Write the person's name down on a piece of paper, and put them in the voting box we have just placed in the Town Hall. Please continue." She went inside, smiling. The people of Ura'Baen cheered once more and dashed into their houses.

Finally Erais said. "Should we or should we not. We might be able to take him down but not likely."

She then looked from one person to the other. After awhile of silence she walked out of the tent. She then walked up to Erador. She then sat on her claws.

What do we do now? Erador asked.

I don't know. It got to tense in there. I needed air. So I guess we will wait. She replied. SHe saw Serias coming back.

OOC: ok, im confused lol

OOC: Me to. I just read Ioksok post. I didn't see it before. I am really confused. I didn't have time earlier to read his.

OOC yeah me to, the battle is done. and the counsel is deciding to perssue the king, right

OOC-Erias, ur turn

OOC: What do you mean my turn. I was the last one to post in the story.

OOC- but u messed up. just rewrite something different lol.

OOC: Okay I will just Edite the post.

Serias' walk turned into a run. He ran into the town hall, to see many people there, clustered around something. There was so much noise he could hardley stand it. "QUIET!"he roared like a wild beast and all became silent. "Let me through." He pushed through the crowd, and saw what was happening. Two men were fighting, each bloodly to the limit. Their clothes were torn and they were yelling curses. Serias grabbed them both by the collar and lifted them. "What is going on here?'he asked firmly through clenched teeth. Both men were still trying to fight eachother, so Serias bound them with magic. They would not answer the question. Serias turned to the astonished crowd. "What happed?" he asked for all to hear. A young woman walked up. She would have been very beautiful in a humans eyes, but to Serias she was just like any other human. "Well,"she said in a voice that sounded like a crystal bell. "Fordric,"she pointed at the smaller, more muscualar man,"voted for somebody Dombron hated with all of his heart. They had a shouting match, which turned into the fight." Serias nodded, pleased. "Thank you." He then turned back the the men. "If I ever hear of something like this between anyone again, I'll make you live in the dungeons eating rats." Serias turned and walked off, and the line for voting formed again.
Serias was very mad. We try to make a new age, he said to Chronum. Yet people fight between one another. They think this is a game! Galbatorix can find another, bigger army, and we wont be prepared!
Serias called another City Meeting in the wee hours of the next morning. The people clustered around the balconey. Serias stepped up and all of the talking stopped immediatly like it did when Nasuada talk. It seems he had become a legend among the empire. And so, he began," We have just one a great and fierce war! Many have suffered, and our greatest enemy has fled, but has yet to return with a bigger army. Are we to not be prepared for what is to come? We riders are powerful, yes, but we cannot take on whole armies. That is why I have called this meeting. At night, I found a new ore. It is dark purple, yet very light but strong. I want to send in twenty people to mine it, and I need all of the blacksmiths to make their greatest weapons yet with it. Those who help shall be rewarded greatly. Bring us the weapon that you have forged, and we will see that yopu shall be honored!. That is all." He walked back into the castle, quite pleased with himself.

OOC: Ioksok, check spelling, especially of characters like Nazuada! I've edited a few posts, but I can't do them all!

Later that day Erais found Serias.

"Where have you been?" She asked.

She then walked with him. They were silent for a while.

"I was there this morning. What is it that you want them to mine. Are you sure its safe." She asked.

Ioksok was walking around Ura'bean's streets, they seemed so fimiliar to him. Why did we do this? he asked himself.

"Finally," he said to himself when he found the house he was looking for, his father's house. It was old and abandoned, but there was no one looting the place. Ioksok walked into the house and looked around. His father's grey armour was on a stand, his sword hanging on the wall. It took two hours for Ioksok to gather up everything he wanted, and he left the rest for the rats and bats. He got a room at an inn called the Red Dragon, and then he went to the room and put on his father's armour and belted on his sword. He walked to the castle and found Fang and Erador sleeping with Erias watching them. Ioksok came up behind her and put his hand on her shoulder. She turned around. Her eyes went wide, he took of his helmet and she let out a sigh of relief.

"Where did you get all this?" She asked, pointing to the stuff he had.
Erador and Fang stirred. Erais glanced at them. She then walked over and took off her cloak. It reveiled a tan top with short sleeves. She had a dark green pants on.
She then put her cloak in the bag she kept her things in.

"Quite," Serias answered her previous quetion, ripping of his cloak to reveal shiny armor. "Ioksok, you look tired, I think you should get some rest. I found the mine a long time ago. When dark elves ruled the land. It is the same metal used in this guardian armor. It turns very shiny when refined. The metal is called Chronum. Now you shall see the namesake of my dragon. I named his that because he is the exact color of refined Chronum." Serias gave a short smile. It seems only yesterday I was a child running around the stones of my city. Now here I am, Guardian of Ancient Lore." He was silent for a moment, then noticed she was watching, and continued,"I am not the only Guardian. There are many, most of them across the sea. There is the Guardian of the Elements, and he is the wisest and eldest of us. He can control weather patterns like swinging a sword. I used to admire him in his armor of Chronum." Serias looked up at the sky and saw a bird fly into the clouds. "I am the only Guardian that is also a Rider." A mental voice entered his mind,Lord Serias, we have begun to mine the purple ore. Serias gave a laugh and grabbed Erias' arm. "Come, I want to show you something." He ran quickly, darting between houses, until he finally reached a hole in the ground. He jumped down, dragging her along. They landed on solid rock, and all around them were dwarven lanterns, and Chronum. Powerful men turned cranks to bring a huge sledge hammer down, which would break huge chunks of Chronum off. "Chronum is weaker when it is unrefined,"Serias explained to Erias as they walked through the mine shaft. "It makes me feel at home, this place does. Reminds me of the caves in Krakazan." His voice echoed around the shaft, all the men tunring and saluting him, which he returned.


OOC- i hate it when that happens. ur typing something, someone else types something in before you do, and it all messes up.

OOC: Ioksok, no controlling others characters.

Erais just watched them do it. She was amazed at it. "So why are you mining it?" She asked.
"So..Well...Can you tell me about my parents."
She blushed and turned her head hopong he wouldn't see her.

Ioksok follow the pair looking at the metal that was mined, he picked up a big pice of ore it was very light, "So" Ioksok asked as he walked up behind them "are we going after that would be king?". He watched the miners dig as they walked.

"I will stay here for a little bit to keep order."Serias whispered. "The votes for the King will be chosen tomarrow, and I can't miss that." I will tell you aboutyour parents privately,he added to Erias mentaly. Serias saw the next tunnel was full of dwarves, mining the ore with delight. Serias smiled, and one dwarf ran up to him and bowed,"Lord Serias, this is an ore that will help reshape the halls of Trojehiem! May we please use it?" Serias' smile grew even bigger. "Of course, I would expect nothing else.' The dwarf grinned back and ran around to his kin, spreading the news.

Erais and Ioksok then left. Erais walked back to the area where Eradro and Fang had fallen asleep. But they were awake.
Have a good nap. Erais asked.
Yes. Thank you very much for asking. She replied. Erais then went and got some meat for the two dragons.

OOC: IOKSOK, DO NOT IGNORE ME. IT WOULD TAKE YOU 2 MINUTES TO CHECK YOUR SPELLING, SO JUST EDIT IT, OKAY???

Serias walked outside on the streets. It was early dawn already. He ran as fast as he could into the City Hall. Nasuada was standing around the voting box with some other people. When she saw Serias walk in, she was as happy as can be. "We were about to start without you." Serias walked up to the box. "Then let us now begin!"
A City Meeting was called in the early morning, and this time everyone was here. Everyone wanted to hear who their next King was. Serias and Nasuada both stepped on to the balcony. Like always, everyone was silent. Serias put his hand into a bag he was holding, and rufled around in if, while Nasuada began,"Good morning everyone. The event is over. Now, we had two major votes that tied, so we will draw from the bag!" Nasuada turned to Serias, who took out a piece of paper. Everyone was so silent it seemed like the air died. Then, finally, there was a loud explosion, and the word, 'Nasuada' flashed across the sky, then rained down on the people below, who cheered so loud it was deafening.

Erais cheered also. She was happy. Then someone in the crowd asked. "Whos the other one?"
Then more cries asking the same thing. Erais moved to the front of the crowd she watched Serias carefully.

Ioksok followed Erias through the crowd. When they came to the front of the crowd Ioksok said "follow me". He took her to the door of his fathers house and up to the belcony, they could see all of the crowd and had a better view of Serias.

Serias smiled, and did not tell them the other person to the cheering humans. He walked back into the castle and down the stairs. He saw Erais and Ioksok watching, so he smiled, but quickly dodged a dart thast had flown towards him. His golden eyes swept the room, and a cloaked figure walked out. A huge broadsword hung across his back. Serias summoned his own, which was thinner, but at least two feet longer. The cloaked figure made a dash and caught Serias off guard with his speed. Doing a horizontal strkie, the stranger hit Serias on the side, but the powerful blow was reflected by the Chronum armor. The cloak ripped revealing the silver essence. Serias attacked with an uppercut. The stranger evaded the blow, and Serias saw Erias and Ioksok run in for help. He blocked the entrance with unliftable magic. This is my fight, he told Erias. The cloaked man, or so it seemed, began to attack Serias very fast, who just let the blows hit, knowing that even the strongest blade cannot cut through Chronum. And soon enough, Serias stood with his cloak in pieces on the ground, and his armor reflected the light like always. Serias returned the attacks, and in a span of three seconds, had the stranger on the ground. As his only hope, the stranger teleported himself elsewhere. Serias then lifted the magic blocking the entrance.

Erais and Ioksok dashed in.
"Who whas that? Are you okay?" Erais asked.
She picked up the torn cloth. She mended it, then handed it back to Serias. She had a look of discomfort on her face.
"Who ever that was seemed familiar. Who was it? Do you know?" She asked after a minute of silence.

Serias looked around him grimly, putting on his cloak, while saying,"I don't know who it was, but he seemed familiar, I'll give you that. Now come, we must celebrate with our new queen. There shall be a feast tonight!" Serias grabbed both of their arms and ran to the Great Hall.
The feast was not layed out yet, but everyone had settled down. Serias sat by the Queen, while Erais and Ioksok were on either side one seat down. Serias felt very happy. He stood up and everyone was drowned into complete and total silence. "May it all begin!" Thousands of servants came in, carrying just about evey food there was. There was meat, and vegetables, all piled together to make the greatest feast there ever was in Alagaesia. As a matter of fact, everyone in the kingdom was invited to the glorious place, so there was much cooking that had been done. But it was all worth it, for the food was as good as the new day. Thousands of peasants piled food onto their plates, laughing merrily. Serias had helped decorate, and inlarged the whole castle with magic, so that all could fit inside.

Erais asked Serias mentaly,
Who was the other possiblity.
She ate some vegtibles. She then excused herself. She walked to one of the balconys over looking the sunset. She then saw Erador in the court yard with the other dragons. Erais then leaned agaisn't a pillar. She watched the sunset.

Serias did not reply to Erais' question. He continued to eat, although very little. Very soon, he too got up and went to Erias, leaning against the oppisite pillar. "It is someone you know,"he answered finally with a smile. He looked at the setting sun, and the beautiful stars who's bright light rays echoed across the everlasting sky. Everything was so peaceful. There was not a cloud in the sky. "
I am going to go to the Chronum mine,"he said finally."I have yet to explore it all, and I would like to know more of my people. Serias jumped out on the castle balcony, threehundered feet in the air, but landed as soft as a feather. He walked over to the mine, and looked into it's depths. He could hear something writhing, and moaning ever so softly. Serias looked down carefully, but saw no one. He summoned the light with magic, but for some reason the light didn't penetrate the dark. Serias knew it wasnt the darkness blocking the powerful light. It was something. He felt its power of evil from twenty feet in the air. He saw it moving. He smiled. It had come, but he knew it only appeared at night. A Night-Mare.

Erais just watched the sky.
What in the world did he mean "Somone you know." What does that mean. Him? She continued to ponder over this thought.
She then felt something strange in her. She hadn't felt it in a long time. A feeling of being alone in the world. Then all of the sudden she felt lonely again. She then sighed.
What am I going to do with my life. She questioned herself.

Serias walked till morining came, and smiled as the city began to burst with activity. He watched how miners ran into the Chronum shaft, and blacksmiths cursed angirly when the purple metal wouldn't melt. He saw children running around in the streets, playing tag and other games. How Serias wished he was a little boy now.
A City Meeting was called by a blacksmith. He had claimed to have made to first Chronum sword. Serias walked up to the man, who handed him a blade. In fact a blade so pure, it seemed like an angel made it. It was four feet long, along with a hilt and pommel made of gold. "State your full name,'Serias grinned brightly at the man. "Uther D. Ragnorok,"came the reply. "Kneel,"The dark elf said. Uther did, with a sad face. He tought he was going to be beheaded. But Serias placed the blade on one shoulder, than the other."I know name you, Uther, Master Blacksmith. Rise." Uther did so, with tears of happiness in his eyes. "Go tell the other blacksmiths how to forge Chronum, then continue making weapons. Do not try to make armor, for that is to hard for a human or elf,"Serias continued. The man nodded and hurried off. Serias turned and saw Erias.

Erais walked up to him.
"I heard a chronum sword was forged." She said smiling, "May I see it?" She asked.
Serias handed it to her. She held it.
"Its light as a feather." She then handled it. She was smiling. "I see what you mean."
She then handed it back. Then questioned,
"Last night you said it was someone I knew. Who?" She had her puzzled look upon her face again.

Serias looked at her sternly. "Exactly what i meant. Here, you may have the sword." He handed the majestic blade to her. "I'm sorry, but the second person is standing in front of you. He laughed and walked off to examine some other the blacksmiths and Uther. But then and idea came to his mind. He ran to the Chronum mine and tore a huge chunk with magic. By the time he was finished gathering, he had one pound of it, which was quite a bit, about two tons of coal. He worked day and night, pounding the metal. when it was refined, he folded the metal one-hundred times, taking out any unnecessary compounds, making the metal super strong, though not quite as his armor, which was folded one thousand times. He began to make overlaping sclaes, making the armor even stronger. He took out an extra steel compound, and in place put rubber, so that the metal can stretch to any size. It took him three days to finish the masterpiece. Three sleepless nights. Taking the armor, he slowly walked into Erias room, laid the armor on her bed, and dissapeared.
After that, he did the same for ioksok.

When Serias had given her the sword and told her who the other one was she just stood there in like a trance. After about twenty minutes of pulling herself together she then straped it to her side along with the dagger and her Riders blade Anira. She headed to the training field. She practiced for days there only to eat and sleep. Once she was satisfied that she would be able to use both in battle if nessecery, she then left. She walked up to Erador.

Where have you been? Erador asked a bit angery.

Just training. Erais replied.

She showed her new sword to Erador. She then went to her room. She saw the armor. She quickly walked over. She picked it up. This must be made out of Chronum also. It's light as a feather. She thought to herself. She put it on. Then did some rebounding magic. The armor held. Satisfied Erais left it on. She didn't take it off. She put her cloak on so it wouldn't be noticed.

"Thank you" was all Ioksok could say he was speachles, Serias gave him armour and a new sword, "Why did you gve me this?" he asked as he examend the sword, it was four and a half feet long with a two handed hilt made of silver and ivory. Ioksok could weild it one or two handed. He thanked serias agian and went to the training fields to try his new sword out.

That night, Serias went down to the mine shaft. The breathing was smoother now. The Night-Mare was getting it's energy back.It opened it's eyes to look at him and jumped out of thehole. It was a gargoyle with the head and wings of a dragon. It roared at him, but Serias stood his ground. "Banishazano!" Serias roared and the creature stiffened, fell, and dissapeared. Serias was out of breath. The beast had nearly killed him. He sighed and ran. He ran into the castle, and into his room. He closed the door and locked it.

Ioksok had his armour on with his father'ssword at his side and his new sword straped to his back. When he got to the training field he found some soldiers to spar with, once he beat every body that fought him, he looked for some more chalenging compitition, he spent half an hour looking until he heard some one call his name.

"Ioksok." Erais yelled. She then came up to him. "You look like you need someone more challenging to spar with." She drew her new sword. "I will. We use one sword."
She then went to a battle stance.
"Ready." She said amused.

Ioksok looked her up and down while he drew his sword, Erias looks very good in the armour he thought to him self. Fnag and Erador came to watch "It wont be fair and you know it" he said but he got ready any way, they came to gether with a splash of sparkes, and the clang of metal. they spared for a time Ioksok thought he was going to win once but that changed, they spared until they couldn't hold up there swords.

Then they both fell to the ground.
"I guess this means were matched." Erais said.
She then got up. She put her sword away. She then held out her hand.

"i have goten better, hu" Ioksok said as he grabed her hand, and helped her up, he put hissword away. "are they going to get the king?" Ioksok asked looking at a lorg group of dragon riders that were gathering.

"I don't know." Erais replied. "Should we go see what."
They then headed over to the Riders gathering. Eradro came up to Erais.
Whats going on? She asked.
I don't know. Erais replied.

Serias walked out of his room, breathing very hard from his contact with the Ancients. He sensed a an evil presence arriving into the city. He ran as fast as he could, past hundreds of people and into the sparring fields, where he saw Erias and Ioksok gasping for breath. "Somethings coming,"he told them as he ran up to the two warriors. "An evil thing. Something that can desroy the city." He looked around wildly, and yelled,"Look out!" he ran in front of Erias, just as the dart was thrown. It hit his armor, and broke in half. The same cloaked figure stood in front of them.

Erais straightened herself.
"Who are you? What do you want?" She asked the stranger.
She held her sword up. Eradro growled.

Wait. Lets see if they'll answear us first. She said to Erador.

The cloaked figure just stood there, his sword raised. He ponted at Himself, then Erias, and dashed forward. Serias was a lot faster though. He stabbed the stranger in the chest, and he fell back. But he was far from giving up. He got up and attacked Serias with a vertical strike, but the dark elf easily blocked it, and punched the stranger hard in the stomach, who flew twenty feet but got back up, and limped towards Serias, desperate to win. Serias raised his palm and shot out a powerful blast of lightning that pummeled the stranger. The person fell, and his hood revealed a face that looked almost exactly like Erias.

Erais looked qiuckly at him she then looked at Serias. She dashed from the room. Qiuckly the stranger was up and after her again. He was running after her fast. Erais then was outside. She looked back. The person was still running after her. She tripped on something. She then flew about two feet. She got up. The stranger had his sword agaisn't her neck.
"What do you want?" She asked.
"I need to speak with you in private without them." He said jerking his head towards Ioksok and Serias running out.
"Why?" Erais asked.
"Just come with me and no harm will be upon you." Was the reply she got.

Serias heard every word the stranger said. He knew who he was. Serias turned to Ioksok and nodded. He then dashed to the chronum ine. By now, they had enough chronum to make weapons for all of the people in Alagaesia. Serias was almost there when he changed his mind. He ran in the direction of where Erias and the stranger were talking. He turned into his stealth form, which nothing can detect, and began to listen to the conversation with his keen hearing.

When Serias had gotten there the stranger was just finishing what he was telling Erais,
"You come now or else." He said.
Erais then nodded her head saddly. The stranger then took her arm. He put up a barrier around them both so no one could attack. He then took her to the shadows where he blended in perfectly.

Serias smiled. He new it was with him she belonged. He walked away, to the inn where he could get a drink.
The place was, like always, full of drunks. Those who got in his way payed, and he walked up to the barman, who asked him merrily,"What can I get for you?" Serias sighed and said,"Red wine." The barman dissapeared for a moment, then came back with the glass. Serias drank greatfully, and teleported himself into his room in the castle, to speak to the Ancients about what was to come. He was in there for hours, and when the servant came in, he had dissapeared from the city. Nasuada was concerned and sent people to look for him, but with no avail.

Enrais then explained that he needed her help. So Erais left for Erador and her stuff. She then returned.
"I have told Ioksok I will be gone for awhile." She said.

OOC: I am going to laeve for awhile. I will return to the story when I feel its a good time to jump back in.

OOC-Ok



IC-Serias flew through the air in his gryphon form. His wings rustled in the strong wind. He then heard a mighty roar that echoed across the plain he was flying over. He turned his white feathered head and saw two dragons heading towards him, their mouths gaping hungerly. Just great,he thought. Just as Chronum went to hunt. The wild leviathans began their attack. Serias, being smaller, was much more agile, and dodged their claws and flames. Flying at speeds faster than sound, he attacked them with very painful and quick slashes using his front claws. A tail came to meet him, and he bit the upcoming flesh-mace with his beak, while the dragon roared in agony. The dragon, being the color light blue, thought that he could camoflauge in the sky, but the show of blood from his tail instantly gave it away, and Serias flew upwards and ripped through the sky blue's left wing. The dragon began to fall, but it's partner caught it in his claws and flew away, giving growls of grief. Serias gave another sigh. Why does this always happen to me?

Ioksok looked out his window theres a storm coming Fang said. the clouds were dark and the wind was blowing hard the shingles of the houses were being blown through the air. Ioksok wnet looking for Serias, "where is he?" Ioksok asked him self. Fang we are going to look for him Ioksok grabed his swords and armour, and was on Fang flying through the air out of the city.

Serias landed next to a small outpost, turning into the cloaked dark elf he usually is. Walking silently into the town, he noticed a wind beginning to pick up. Maybe a new age wasn't such a good idea,said Chronum, clearly amused as even the powerful wind couldn't bring him down. The leviathan swooped down and let Serias jump on his back. He began to fly back to Ura'Baen, when he noticed a dragon and Rider flying towards them. Ioksok,thought Serias.

OOC: Can you guys continue. I really want to get back in but I need the right oppertonity. ~SP~

Ioksok and Fang could not find Seires before the storm hit and were forced to take shelter in a cave.
I smell dragons Fang said to Ioksok, he looked around and noticed claw marks in the grey stone walls and floor. your right stay here im going to go take a look Ioksok said, as he crept wiht his back close to the rough rock wall.
He layed on his stomach with his head bearly over the ridge, looking down he could see a giant room with armor of all differnt colors lining the rough grey walls. Dragons were roaming around a giant black monstosity was seted in the middle of the room.
Fang I found the king[i] Ioksok said to his dragon.

Serias looked to the south, his golden eyes blazing like a molten flickering flame. It was raining. Hard. The maelstorm soon turned into a shower of hail the size of dragon eggs. One hit Serias on the back, but broke against his chronum armor, which was, like always, covered by a cloak. Suddenly, he kneeled down with pain of the eternities, and begans coughing up his silver blood. This is no ordinary hail, he told his silver dragon. It is hail created by the blood of the ancients. Something is tearing the every universe apart. Serias glanced up at the heavans, and saw the problem; a gaping hole, a rip in the void itself.

Fang we have to leave Ioksok said as he ran for the mouth of the cave.
Fang looked at him as if he were crazy Im not going out there he said, but Ioksok mounted Fang and they flew out of hte cave looking for Series.

Serias was very angry. What had opened this hole? Chronum gave a growl, and Serias followed it's echo into the sky. He nearly fell over from shock. Demons, and angels were coming out of the hole, fighting eachother, followed by shadowy and light creatures. This has already happened once, roared Chronum mentally, his claws digging into the soft earth. Before you were a protector, I was with a young female named Pan. With her, she carried a box which held something that no one knew about. On the evil day when he Demon Lord Archmare attack the Ancient Temple with a legion of demons, she opened the box, and revealed a pumping heart that was glowing with rainbow colors. It created a rip in the universe that sucked up the Lord and his minions, but took my Pan with it. It seems someone has found the box, ad has unleashed pure chaos by opening it. Only the Ancients can help the world, although our new friends have proved to be more than normal. Serias closed his eyes and released his soul.

OOC- Ummm, Erias, wanna continue LOL?

OOC: Of course. I will edit this post with my IC once I figure out what to type.
