Hatchling||OPEN||

[renea]

Her hands shook as she watched the egg begin to hatch, behind her, her black horse spooked slightly at the sound of the egg coming apart. Her black hair was streaming in her as she watched the egg come apart and before her was a Burgundy colored dragon, with maroon eyes. It was a male, and he looked so awesome. She was scared to touch him, but she placed her hand out, and he touched his nose to her hand.

She remembered nothing more then a bright blue light and then she woke laying on the ground, with the dragon head on her stomach, it was just a little thing, and it was sleeping. She looked at her hand, and she had a mark on it, she smiled and stroked his neck and set up.

"You little devil... What am I to call you?"

The little dragon looked at her with a smile, but she had to laugh. She looked around and then looked back at her horse, who stood firm in his place. She grabbed a bag from her horse's back and walked back over and opened it. She looked at the Burgundy dragon and smiled.

"Come on... You can't be seen when we ride."

She said, showing him that nothing was there, he walked in, not one bit scared and she gentle slung it over her shoulder and mounted her horse. She grabbed her cloak from a limb and placed it over her, covering the bag and looked around before she nudged her horse on. She had her bow and quiver of arrows on the side of the saddle, her sword on the other side, and her dagger on her hip.

The sun was beating down on her and the black stallion she rode, she looked around and then looked down to see a little head looking from under her arm. She smiled and stroked him over her head, and gentle pushed him back into the bag, so that he would not be seen.

My wings gave another powerful flap. The moved air thudded with the power of the movement. Gliding down on a down draft. I burst through the could level, some of the white fluffs gathering at the bottom of my wing. Rolling my eyes, I spun to free myself from the puffs. Looking down at the road, I remembered why I was here.

Eragon had wanted to practice some stuff, he never said what, but the matter was he had wanted to stay on the ground for the day. I on the other hand had wanted to fly to day. The day was perfect for a glide over Halfmoon lake. Not wanting to fight over a stupid problem, we decided that I would fly till noon, then come back so we could practice. Looking at the sun now, it was a few hours till sun high. Wanting to as much time in a possible, I in creased my wing speed, going from gliding to speeding dragon, doing tricks and flips here and there.

Looking down at the road beneath me, I saw a girl. She was a riding a proud looking stallion. Looking closer at the black haired maiden, I saw a bag around her shoulder, and it was moving. Soon, to my amazement, a small Burgundy head popped out. A dragon's head Blinking a couple of times, I tried to clear my head. A dragon, it couldn't be! Slowing down and getting closer, my eyes were confirmed by the hatchling's sent.

Trying to make an impressive entrance, I dropped from the sky and landed right behind the girl. I began to pry at her mind to find out were she had gotten one of my kin and for conversational reasons.

She heard something, she did not know what, but she heard something, but she acted like it was nothing. As the sound of wings flapping she figured it was a large bird or something, she did not want to look suspious, so she kept riding her black stallion, until she heard a loud thump behind her. She turned her horse, who reared up, but as he landed the girl pulled the reins to keep him from doing it again.

"Easy."

She looked at the large dragon, she could not here a voice in her head, since this was not her dragon, the fact was, no one could hear the thoughts unless it was the rider it self. She looked at her arm to see her burgundy dragon looking from under her cloak and under her arm. She gave him a smile, but as she turned, her jumped from out of the bag and leap up. She tried to grab him, but he went into the sky and into the cloud.

"No!!"

She did not understand why he was flying off like that. She had a tear roll down her eye, but as she started to think about the other one she began to back up her horse, scared to death of the other one.

"Morgan!"

The voice in her head made her look around and see a large Burgundy dragon behind her. She knew it was her dragon, and smiled. She jumped from her horse and looked up at him.

"I can hear you!"

"I have been waiting do long, I am Midnight Curse, and you are my Dragon rider."

Morgan smiled so big and walked over to her, she was so happy that she had been picked to be a dragon rider, but she did not understand why this dragon had picked her, she was just a kid.

[{S}aphira:.]

I put myself in the girls mind, but she didn't seem to notice. Then the tiny dragon popped out of the bag and shot in to the air. The girl cried out, calling for the nestling to return, but it wasn't to be. Then both the girl, who I learned who names was Morgan from a short word from the hatchling, and I heard the hatching speak. It was an impressive little guy, already knowing its name, how to speak and fly. I knew that even if a hatching could fly, he wouldn't stay in the air for long.

Spreading my wings, I leaped into the sky and I quickly came to the nestling, he was struggling to stay afloat, as I suspected. Carefully I reached out and grabbed him in my talons, trying not to stab in with my claws.

Diving, I carefully landed on three feet next Morgan. Releasing the hatching, I placed him next to Morgan. My mind was still was in the girls mind, so I spoke to her.

If you wish to keep the hatchling alive, you will keep him close Morgan.

She turned and looked at the dragon who had taken her's and placed him on the ground next to her. He tossed his head and snorted before looking at him. She then looked back at the other dragon as she spoke to her, she smiled when she spoke, something about this dragon was familiar, as if she had heard about her.

"I will, but who are you?"

Midnight curse looked around, he was a fast learner, he had waited for his rider to come, something told him this was her, and she had something about her that he liked.
