"I was scouting the surrounding area for any empire people but that doesn't matter now." said Nerasa
"That is the symbol of a dragon rider and I was just thinking the same question. I didn't see any dragons on my scout. Thats odd that his dragon isn't here with him when it should be. You know after you said that you could feel deep sorrow I could feel it too, a little odd." said Nerasa.
"Well we can't do anything now what do you suppose we do? I am going to make camp and sleep here for the night. How about you?" asked Nerasa.

Eli squinted her eyes. 'What's going on down there, Drike?' Driken swooped down very low to the ground. 'Looks like a tent. And a horse. And people. And-' 'Okay, Driken! I get it!' Driken landed with a thud, landed a little ways away from the man and woman. Eli jumped from her dragon and landed in a roll, looking at them curiously. "What's going on here?"

OCC: Your slightly Godmodding. Meaning your controling peoples actions and reactions. Just thought you should know.
"Great who are you now? Just when I thought I couldn't get any more surprises today. I found this injured elf laying here injured and apparently he is a dragon rider but we don't know where his dragon is. I am Nerasa and this is my red dragon Marflamel." said Nerasa who got up.

Equinox snapped into conciousness, his mind ablaze. He woke in the shade, and was instantly alert, unsheathing his sword and holding it up at the people around him. "Who are you? Quick answer, or I'll strike." He glared at them ferociously, a scowl plastered on his elven features.

OCC: Sorry Nerasa, I edited it. Hey TFE! I'm trying to get Equinox and Eli to get together. *Hint* *Hint* lol Eli jumped back when the elf snapped back into consciousness. "Who are you? Quick, answer, or I'll strike." Eli admired the elf. "I'm Eli. My dragon is the back there," She said gesturing towards Driken. "Who are you?"

Equinox held his sword ready as she talked, but at the word 'dragon' the life seemed to drain out of him. He fell to the ground, not able to summon the strength to support himself, and lay there, his chest heaving as if he had run a great distance or done strenuous physical exercise. "D-dragon?" He mumbled feebly, then looked away, unseen tears budding on his eyes.

Eli moved forward to catch the elf but was too late. She knelt down beside him, concerned. "Are you alright?" She noticed the tears in his eyes and felt pain and sadness coming from him. Tears formed in her eyes. She repeated, "Are you okay?"

He turned away, quite ashamed at having his tears seen by others. He managed to choke out a single word. "Góùréd." He turned his palm over, exposing the silvery marking on his skin, that was a part of him, a part of the bond they shared. He paused for several moments, regaining control. When he spoke, his voice was hoarse, and barely above a whisper. "He's gone. They've captured him. I feel his pain, and I suffer every second, no every fragment of a second without him."
He felt comfortable to confide this in someone at last, it seemed it ease the pain set deep inside his heart.

"Góùréd? Who took him?" Eli grabbed his arm to try and comfort him. "Please, let us help you." OCC: That was short lol

"He's..He's-" He broke off, and now his tears spilled uncontrollably, falling over his tunic, onto the ground below. He couldn't stop himself, he began to weep, the words coming out in odd intervals. "Galbatorix took him! He was captured, and they're torturing him! You don't know what it's like to be away from the one you love most, and feel his pain." He turned away, his tears already drying on his cheeks.

Eli watched the elf cry, tears spilling down her cheeks as well. She squeezed his arm and smiled at him. "It'll be okay. We're going to get Góùréd and you're going to be reunited with him. You need to get some rest. Now sleep, rider." She got up and gave him one last look before leaving the tent. She turned to the others. "He'll be alright as long as he sleeps. I'm going to stay here and help him get Góùréd back. Obviously he's with the Varden though if Galbatorix is messing with him." She walked over to Driken who was napping in the hot sun. 'Can I sit under your wing? It's hot.' Driken opened his large blue eye. 'Of course, little one.' She ducked under his wing a laid down close to his stomach thinking of the elf. She heard Driken rumble with laughter. 'What?' He snaked his head under his wing to look at her. 'Is this a crush I see coming on?' She scowled at him. 'I just met him! I don't even know his name! He's probably like a billion years old too. You can't tell with an elf.........' Driken pulled his head back and pulled his wing over Eli, enveloping her in darkness. He is very handsome though...... OCC: Goodnight, TFE! I'll talk to you tomorrow!

Equinox stared at the tent closing as the girl left. He shook his head slowly and gave a dark laugh. What do they now about losing a part of yourself? They show pity, but they can't understand the feeling. He shook his head, telling himself that the girl actually cared for his wellbeing, then bent down in the tent, strecthing the stiffness out of his knees. He then let loose a scream as he mind was rent in two, and a scene formed before his eyes.
A giant golden dragon, looking defeated slumped against a wall, snarling. A much larger black one stared into space, obviously disoriented. The dragon gave a roar of pain as a word was uttered in the Ancient Language in a deep, powerful voice. The voice came from a man in the shadows, his face unseen, but known all too well by the golden dragon. He gave another roar, and wrenched himself toward the man, but was stopped short by invisible boundaries. He let loose a torrent of fire, but by magic it was stopped, and sent back at him, scorching his scales, burning the thin membrane on his wings. The dragon gave one plea, one word before falling into the depths ofunconciousness .'Equinox.'
Equinox started, his body drenched in sweat, unusual for the elf. His skin and back ached as if burned, and he felt gut wrenching pangs as he knew that Góùréd was facing a thousand fold the times of pain, the least of it drifting over the connection, but still powerful and evil enough to cause the elf pain he had never felt. He glanced around, mopping the sweat from his brow, hoping his screams of pain had not roused another.

"I know how it is when you have a loved one taken away from you. I lost both of my parents at a young age. I know how the pain feels don't forget that. I lost everything I once loved but after what happened I grew stronger realizing that what happened, happened because it is a course of life. That it makes a person much stronger then what they realize and it has made me stronger for I lost both of my parents and my brothers dispise me now I know how you feel. Don't think I don't know what you are going through." said Nerasa.
"You should take Eli's advice and sleep you will need it when the time comes. I will also help you get your dragon back no matter what. I don't want to see you suffer any longer then what you have to for it is a painful ordeal to go through. I know." said Nerasa as she also left the tent to go over by Marflamel.
"I just don't get these people Marflamel. I mean they seem nice then again there is so much pain and suffereing in their eyes that it seems like they need or want help but they then don't want it. I just don't get it." said Nerasa.
"Most times people don't get it when its right under their noses but then again it takes time to have them trust you. Its all a matter of time though we don't always have the time to give them. You need to give him space to think and just be friendly to him along with respecting him. Its all you can do." said Marflamel.

Aethelwyne and Edoc'sil kept their distance. From high up on a sand dune she looked with dragon sight. There were two males and two females in the tent, two dragons and a horse outside. She could sense pain from the loss or separation of a dragon. 'Old friend I think it best we keep a distance and watch what transpires. For now.' The large purple dragon pawed at the sand, shaking his head in agreement. 'Yes. I agree it would be prudent to wait and see what happens. If there is trouble we will be close.' With that they resumed their watch.

Nerasa couldn't sleep she couldn't even go into her trance which all elves usually do. She was worried and shared some of her ideas to Marflamel about getting the other dragon back. However some were good but others were alright but wouldn't work.
"I don't know what to do. i am all out of ideas. Plus i can't rest." said nerasa.
"I don't have any idea's yet." said Marflamel
