Dragon Riders

**Sylverdawn hasn't been active since october 27 so I don't believe she'll post in few days... but what will happen to Azrayel, is Azrayel just going to become a "so-called NPC?"**


Garen:

Gautier flew besides Garen, Gautier looked at Ari.

What happenned?

Garen looked at Gautier

Ari ran in to save those people, Maradomin ran in to save him.

Gautier looked angry

Who did this?!

What?

The fire?

Garen was silent, shifting between truth and lie.

I do not know.

If I ever find the one behind this... Gautier said

*Oh, Ari's a girl, by the way. ^_^*

Gautier saw that Garen looked uneasy, but didn't think much of it to point it out.

If I ever find the one behind this... Gautier mumbled, They're going to wish they were never born.

He didn't notice the even more uncomfortable shift that Garen gave; he just focused on getting Ari back to Kattia. She was in even worse shape than she was before.

*Sorry, all I got for now.*

***We can just keep trying to contact her. If not, I'll take over her character for a while; if she continues to be absent, we may have to send Azrayel on vacation. ***

Ian sat next to Shyen, leaning against her side. She had folded her wing, keeping him close and warm. She had even curled her tail partially around them, a habit she had.

Not much had happened. They had merely spoken about how funny life was, how their lives had been confusing and out of control for the past week. They even reminesced on those days, on how much fun it had been despite the danger of it all. Ari and Gautier even became topics in their conversations.

But...what about Thorn? Shyen finally crooned, nudging Ian gently.

Ian sighed; it took him forever to get courage to answer. It's not good... He could die...

Shyen whined, nuzzling me closely. Oh, Ian...

He reached out and stroked her muzzle. He was holding Masset off, so I could go rescue Ari... I feel so bad about it.

She actually licked me on the face, "kissing" me just as a dog would. I'm sure - well, hoping - that he'll make it. If you're anything like your father, then he'll live, too.

Ian smirked. Thanks.

He rested his head against her shoulder, and her heartbeat took over him. He listened to it; he didn't pick up anything else Shyen thought-spoke. Before he realized it, he was asleep.

*sorry I've been gone so long, was grounded. I'll post as soon as I've caught up.*

** Okay. Glad you're back. But have you ever heard of sneaking on? **

*I tried. Believe me I did, but my dad's on the computer almost constantly, and my sister kept telling on me. (sob)*

**Lol. I'm glad I'm an only child. Sorry... **

**Sigh...what's with you people? Fine then...I'll move things along.**

Ian slept for only an hour. He was woken abruptly by Shyen's calling, both aloud and mentally. Wake up, Ari needs you, and Get up! were accompanied by her roars and squeals. She even rose, making him fall as the support disappeared.

He sat up, blinking, as a gust of wind filled the chamber. Across the pathway, Gautier landed. There was a motionless figure on his back...

Ari!

Ian sprung to his feet, darting to her side as she slipped from Gautier's back. "Ari? What happened? Ari, can you hear me?"

She merely laid in his arms, limp and unresponsive. He held her close, brushing her long bangs out of her face.

Another dragon floated into the cavern, and another. Maradomin jumped off the first, looking suspicious. Something had happened...and Ian would find out. Eventually...

"Maradomin!" he called. "What happened to her?"



***NOW SOMEONE ELSE POST!!!***

Maradomin:

"Someone. I think from the dark knights started a fire at the farming grounds on the border. Ari went to save a man but streched it. I had to go in and help her."


Ian looked suspicious "Why would they start a fire, they were already short from food, And we still have the other farmlands on the otherside."

Maradomin Shurrged "I don't know why."

*Sorry I haven't been on! Sylver, great to have you back! Yay! *

Ian sighed, knowing he wouldn't get anything else out of Maradomin. "Well, try and figure it out. I'm going to go take Ari and let her get some rest." And with that, he carried her towards the castle while Gautier entered the den and kept Shyen company.

*Ok, sorry, all I got. I'll post more later!*

***Hey, we have a little problem. My home computer crashed; I'm using a school's computer right now. I'll try and post something whatever chance I get...***

Maradomin:


Do we have to lie? I'm getting really scared. Garen said to Maradomin

Yes we do. Unles you wish them to blast all hell on us.

But whyy did you do I?

We get the upper hand, they loose more food than we the grow weaker every day, thanks to my curse and thanks for the fact that I burned the farmlands.

They were in the stables.

But is killing Hanik truly so important to you, that you would throw away all your past morals?

Garen. I threw them away, a long time ago.

Ciru

Cliares glowered at him from the bed in the corner of her cell, arms folded, "If you think I'm going to say anything, you've got another thing coming, Ciru."

He laughed and shook his head, causing her expression to darken even further.

"What's so funny?"

"You, of course. You're always so childish! It's like you're seven or something!"

She turned up her nose and sniffed, "Well, I'm still not telling you anything."

He sighed, weighing up whether to threaten her with Vanis. He decided against it, at this stage, her not knowing that he'd switched sides was probably a good thing. He should be back about now, anyway.

** Post people, post like you have never posted before!!!**

Maradomin:

His men and his friends had gone to their places for the night. Maradomin was walking outside talking with Vanis about the war.

"Why do you want the child?" Vanis asked

Maradomin stopped walking, They were in azrayels palace, in an opening in the middle of the palace. "He is my gateway to power." He said simply.

"The power of the holy blood hasn't helpped you too much, why do you still try and get it?"

"My swords powers grow everyday, and everyday also I grow stronger. Not too much but I still do."

"You started the fire."

Maradomin was taken aback but recovered "How did you know?"

"I have my ways." Vanis answerred.

"Are you going to tell the general?"

Vanis gave a cold laugh "We will see."

They were walking in the dungeons now.

Ian stayed with Ari, watching over her as she slept. She was in bad shape; exhausted, weak, pained by the glowing mark on her forehead. Ian had even touched it; it was blazing hot. All he could do was keep her in bed, a damp cloth on her forehead, and call one of the healers.

A knock sounded from the door. He stood and opened it; there was a nurse.

"Come in, please. She needs help."



***I'll finish later.***
