Elyria grabbed her sword as the rider approached, Domia in force at her side. The man fell from the horse. She looked at Elianora and spoke, "I am not sure." Walking slowly toward the man she lowered her sword but kept her grip firm on its hilt.

Ferlan had just leaf Nora as she mind calmed when he heard a scream of pain in his mind. Then, not long after, a man on a horse appeared. The man feel from the horse, the creature terrified. He sensed no injuries from the horse. The man, was a different story, however. There were numerous wounds and abrasions all over him. There was an arrow lodged dangerously close to his heart, the head buried deep inside his chest. He turned to the women.
"Get me my bag, quickly! I have to remove this arrow, or he'll die in a matter of minutes!" He knew it would cause the man pain if he were to pull it out, but there was no choice. He pulled it out, wincing as he felt the man's mind scream in pain. Then he waited for the girls to get his bag to him.

Elianora followed, but kept a few feet away from the man. She saw the emblem of the Varden on him and wondered what he was doing this far north. Also, she felt a small presence somewhere around the man, and not Fethrfricai. This presence called out to her from a strange cell, likke it was a captive. Curious, she stepped closer and knelt beside the man.
He wore a long jacket with several pocket. One bulged out strangely from the rest. Eli glanced at Ferlan before reaching into the pocket. her hand met something smooth and oval. She grasped the object and pulled it free from the coat. A gasp escaped her open mouth when she saw that she held a dragon egg. It's weight was hardly noticeable to her hand, and it shown pale blue. A large crack ran along it's length, probably from where it hit the ground. The occupant squeaked.
Elianora froze. Was this happening? Was this a second chance? She cradled the egg to her stomach and examined the man more carefully. "Is he all right?" she asked Ferlan.

Elyria quickly did as Ferlan asked taking him his bag. She stood back and watched the elf work.

Ferlan quickly glanced at Nora, then went back to his work.
"He will be if I can get this done quickly." He grabbed the bag from Elyria, quickly thanking her. Then he grabed a container of herbs out of it. He wished he had time to boil them. THe always worked better than applying them directly, but there was no time. Grabbing a handful of herbs, he placed them on the wounds, allowing them to do their healing work. Then he closed the wounds by magic. Then he sat back from his work.
"He'll be all right, now. We will have to wait for him to awaken before we can get any tale from him." He turned to Eli and gasped when he saw a hatching egg in her hands. Then he smiled.
"Well, Nora, it seems you will become a Rider soon," he gladly said.

Elianora nodded, smiling at both bits of good news. Then she sat the egg down on the ground beside her, watching it with an eager expression. The egg rolled, bringing back to her mind the hatching of her first dragon.
The egg had rolled and squeaked as the creature within tried to free itself. The egg then had been bright orange, the opposite of this gentle blue. Finally, after waiting days for the moment, her orange dragon had hatched. . . . at the exact moment that one of the Forsworn had entered the room and killed all the dragons. Nora had barely managed to teleport away before the man had turned on her comrades.
Brief pain enveloped her, but quickly dispersed at the joy of this occasion. The egg shuddered, and three more cracks appeared in the side. A minute later, the egg fell completely apart, causing the wet creature within to fall. The baby dragon raised its head to look at Elianora. I knew you would rescue me! it squeaked, before turning to clean its sides.
Elianora picked up the creature, prepared for the shock of binding ran up her left arm. She stayed aware, however, and crooned a name at the hatchling. The name of Eli's old friend in Illirea. "Soranai." The dragon raised its head and squeaked its approval.
Hunger then overwhelmed Nora and she grinned. "Do any of you have meat to give?" she asked of her companions.
OOC: what happened to Fethrfricai?

Elyria watched as Ferlan skillfully healed the man. Then turning her attention to Nora, as she had asked to be called, she watched as the blue dragon emerged from his shell. Turning to look at Domia, he had a strange grin on his face. Elyria gently slapped him upside the head. "Let the bird go Dom!" Laughing he unfurled his tongue and released the bird. As he flew the bird twittered with laughter. 'What? It was just a joke." Laughing she turned her attention back to the new dragon and rider. Elyria pulled some dried meat from her pack and took it to Nora to feed to her dragon.

Nora thanked Elyria and held the food out to her dragon, vaguely aware of Domia's attempt to eat the bird. (ooc: fun, yes?). The hatchling devoured everything that Eli gave it with a ferocity not to be met by anything else. After the dragon ate its share, it turned its head to look at Domia's several times larger one. Soranai squeaked at the adult dragon in a possessive way, asserting her authority that Elianora's was hers now. Elianora. Soranai like the name of her partner. And her appearance.
Flapping awkwardly, she rose to land on Domia's head, sending him more warnings, and also messages of friendship. A high pitched hum escape her throat as she watched the bird that perched on Ferlan's shoulder. If she wasn't full. . . . Then she shrugged. Any friend of her rider was safe with her.
Elianora laughed, a high, golden sound that rang through the air, as she monitored the thoughts of her hatchling. Soranai knew more than she had expected, but then again, she'd already communicated with the dragon before. Yes, she had identified the cries for help in her dream last night as the voice of her hatchling. And the egg from the fire visions.
She looked at Ferlan and gave him a wide smile, then turned to Elyria and repeated the gesture. She felt very content.
OOC: who's in charge of making the rider wake up again? Oh, and the horse ran off to a point farther away from Domia, but still within easy access of his rider.

(OOC: probably you since you brought him in but since he doesn't technically belong to anyone I spose anyone could maneuver him)
Elyria watched the hatchling has he read Domia the riot act. She laughed as he teetered on Dom's head. If she didn't know better she would think that Domia was smiling.
Elyria looked at the smile on Nora's face. "I am happy for you my friend." she said smiling.

Soranai leaned over Domia's gigantic head to peer into one eye. She shifted through the vocabulary her partner had to express her feelings. Almost everything made no sense to her, so she resorted to using good, simple, dragon talk. Are we friends? She sent images into Domia's head to properly ask the question.

Domia sent the message fricai to the youngling. Soranai being in between his eyes peering over his brow was causing his eyes to cross. He gently shook his head to clear his vision.

Soranai clung on to the more leathery scales above Domia's head as he shook it. She squeaked indignantly at being handled so, and leapt off, gliding back to Elianora's shoulder. Sora turned and glared at Domia, then nestled in closer to Eli.
Nora laughed at the two dragon's behavior. "You two are quite a pair," she said when she has breath.

Domia smiled at Soranai and blew a puff of smoke from his nose. Elyria coughed and waved her hand back and forth in front of her face. "Thanks alot Domia."

Eli wrinkled her nose as the smoke rolled over her. She used a spell to clear the air and smiled as Soranai tried to imitate Domia. The hatchling created a tiny trickle of smoke from her mouth and she growled. Desire to flame overwhelmed Elianora, who smiled. Five months is all it takes, she informed Sora.

Ferlan watched the interaction between the two dragons and gave a quiet laugh. Then he heard Eli laugh. It was the most beautiful sound he had ever heard, radiating pure joy and the new union. Fethrfricai gave a loud chirrup and burst into song.
He had no time to think about all these things, however, for the man behind him was stirring. Then he awoke with a start, pulling a knife out of his belt and observing the others.
"Peace," Ferlan told him, "You're among friends here."
