The Prophecy of the 21 Fates.

Chapter 5: Awaiting the Test

                   I cant believe its been 2 years my magic itself has improved. No more screw ups and ive become one of the best students along with my fellow peers we have become the best of the entire Elven class. Had I known finding Kveykva would change my life for the better I would go through all the mess ups ive done over again. As I turn to the sky from my treehouse I see him come along with Adurnarissa, Dauthleikr Datia, and Akrazeth far behind. The four dragons have been inseperable since the first day. Adurnissa has become even more playful and has grown into a fierce Dragon. I dare even compare her to the wild dragons. This seems to have Kveykva drooling for her. Even now he knows im admiring her and through our shared attention, his admiration is a rolling storm. A storm as strong as when I found him and his mother. He has grown very strong and very powerful, it must be his Wild dragon blood. Even Adurnarissa seems to flatter herself as she sees him admire her. She makes more loops more swivels around him. Almost like a predator waiting to catch its long awaited prey.
                     Then from behind me I hear "You would almost swear her egg was born in the sky and she was meant to fly." It was definately Killian with his green eyes now turned Teal as he sees through her eyes. He pats me on the back and says "Damien, you think after a year you would learn to actually feel those around you and expect me to come behind you." Then from the branches above as if on cue Bastion hollers "Ebrithil Rezlo has told us keeping an open mind is a mistake." Killian laughs and with a flick of his wrist says "kvistor Risa" the branch slaps Bastion full in the face and falls beside us. He gets up angrily and they begin to Spar. Esmeralda comes from the same branches and says "You would think after 2 years they would stop trying to beat each other up." I laugh at her comment and say "Its best this way. We dont want another Dragon fight like last time.
                     Both decided they would fight each other on dragonback a few months ago. We laughed at the concept "We wont ever have to fight each other" I said to try to stop them. It was of no avail Adurnarissa had more speed and Arial mobility than any other dragon I had seen. But Bastion and Akrazeth were patient and depended on the oportune momment to use strength and Magic. Their strongest suits. Of course in the end they both ended up suspended in the air by both Ebrithil Rezlo and Ebrithil Draven.
                     Esmeralda and Dauthleikr Datia made the perfect team. They were both masters at stealth. It had become the Silver dragons most proficient skill. Her Flight was as elegant and regal as her Rider when she sat upon her. She was silent when it came to flying almost as if she knew how to make her wings make no sound.   She dives head first and then she opens her wings and glides over the grass. Not even a thump is made by her claws. Akrazeth runs to a stop making sure his bulk and prescence is well known. Adurnarissa makes her landing with her front legs catching her. Then throwing herself foward with her hind legs and making a full barrelroll as she lands perfectly on her legs. My Kveykva dives into a glide then in two leaps bounds towards me making the trees shake a little. Hes still my playful dragon I saw pop out of that egg. Something that seems so long ago.
              He asks "Aren't you excited? Our final test then we can go to Vroengard and meet the rest of the Dragon Riders. We can continue our training. You will be the best sworsdman out there! All eight of us will become the best team of Riders out there." I chuckle and say "Arent you more excited about Adurnarissa finally meeting other dragons?  maybe she will meet a male dragon as fast as her? I know ive hit a nerve. He picks me up like a mother cat does to her kitten and places me under his wings until his body has made a small cave. "I wouldn't say that out loud little one. Don't forget we both feel attraction to whoever we chose to mate with. Through our connection we will love whoever we chose. Maybe not at the same level, but greatly for giving our partner of heart such happiness." Now I blush, as I realize he is in my thoughts. He's always known why ive always supported Adurnarissa being his mate. He then makes a sound I notice is a chuckle. "Don't worry Damien be yourself. I believe maybe in time Killian may see you more than as he sees you now." The shock must be on my face clear enough as I begin to realize how much a partner of my heart Kveykva really is. As I shed tears I begin "I always wondered why you chose me? Besides my horrible magic, which has improven much more. I always wondered if you knew." He looks at me with his purple eye and tells me "I chose you for your heart. Without mattering who it chooses to love. I know deep inside that scared and often gentle heart lies a true rider. If only you would stop doubting yourself. Maybe he feels the same way. Two-leg-warrior-elf-Killian does enjoy scaring you because you dont reach out for others energy. If he doesnt im sure there will be many more Riders at Vroengard that may fancy you yet." I run to hug him as I laugh and reply "Dragons may not mate for life, but I intend to find love. I do hope its with him however." His short reply "I know Damien" Then he swats me with his wing as he turns and goes to Adurnarissa "being bonded to you has even made me into a hopeless romantic" and to that I am left speechless. Killian comes and tells me "What did you do this time to Kvekya?" I blush but hold back as I say "Nothing just to keep his cool, never know how this test could prove for us all." He looks almost calm and strong although he does it when hes most nervous. "Maybe we can finally get rider weapons." At this Bastion stops and says "We may have to forge our own at this rate. Although a sword seems very bulky we shall see what Vroengard has in store for us as far as weapons. The first Rider with a Bow and Arrow instead of a sword would be nice." Esmeralda almost laughs "Oh boys, I need a saddle worthy of my Dauth. Im tired of these thin saddles with no actual grandeur that matches the Dragons. I bet on Vroengard theres all kinds of Dragon Saddles."
Then from one of the peaks of the left I see Ebrithil Rezlo and Draven accompanied by none other than a Big Golden dragon and an Elf that looks like one of the Dragon Rider Elders. This dragon is 3 Times the size of Ebrithil Draven. We cant do much but stop and gaze in awe as the morning sun comes from above the horizon.

Authors note: Thanks if you have been here from the start. What began as a story i wrote one stormy night 4 years ago is now about to become something I want to finish. Some changes to previous chapters may happen and i apologize if this wait feels so eternal. Ive been doing some growing and realized i cant continue without finishing Damien's story along with his friends. I only ask that if some chapters take time and some changes are made you are respectful of them. They will either be changes to fit better into the story. As well as dedicate real precise location and chronological order for the Inheritance fans like myself. Also the growth I want you all to see in my characters. Thank you as always for reading.
