The new line of dragonriders

chapter 3-the eggs

Igot up from the table slowly praying that she wasn't joking. I looked from her to the door repeatedly, she nodded at the door and smiled. I walked as fast as I could to the door with a smile on my face, absolutely sure that this wasn't a joke. When i opened the door i found my guard toying with a simple gold chain, he immediately put it in his pocket when he saw me. His smile grew as he took in my elevated mood. "there you are, I thought you'de never finish talking" he said with a smirk, like he had heard the whole conversion. In which i had hardly spoke and the talk was short. his jab hardly fazed me; I still could hardly believe I was going to see the dragon eggs. He finaly noticed my anticipation and started leading the way down the hall. We came to two large kull that looked kind of bored before they saw us. They both had huge ram's horns but the one on the right had a scar from his chin to the base of his left horn. other than that i couldnt tell them apart; they both wore loin-clothes and chain-mail vests with a crest on it. as they saw my gaurd, I really need to find out his name, they bared their necks in, what looked like, respect. "greetings fire-holder, who are you bringing with you?" the one closest to us said loudly. "I come with Heather by order of Arya" he said back with a confidence i'de only heard in expierinced soldiers. The kull with the scar smiled, a very scary site, and opened the door for us. I shivered before following "fire-holder" in the doorway. The room seemed empty at first then he said a few words under his breath and two large chests appeared in the middle of the room. I gasped as I saw them, they were pretty jewl-encrusted chests that seemed to change color as if on fire, "fire-holder" seemed to take my gasp as a reaction to the magic he used. He looked at me gloating then relized I wasn't staring at him but the chests. He looked curiose for a moment then decided to ask me "what are you thinking?" only then did I relize he was watching me "I'm wondering if the color changing is for decoration or if its actualy providing the eggs with heat" I said truthfully half asking him about it. "a little of both actualy" he said suprised. "what's your name anyway?" I asked changing the subject "Brom" he said pride clear in his voice. "how old are you?" I asked boldly, not watching what I said, "I'm at the young age of 48, and you are?" he said smirking. I felt my eyes widen remembering that elves age diffrently, he continued to smirk at my face. "I'm 16" I said without stuttering, suprising myself and him though his smirk didn't drop. "would you like to see the eggs?" he finaly asked. Easly forgetting the awkward silence a minute before I nodded rapidly. We went to the first chest and he opened it with a spell I, again, didn't hear. It was a beautiful aqua color with swirled patterns and scattered dark blue dots, it was a about the size of a large rolled up cat. Brom reached in and picked it up a strange look in his eyes, I later found out that it was adoration, he told me to sit. When I was seated he, regretfuly, set the egg down in my lap. The egg was amazing in every way an egg can be but I didn't feel any special connection to it. I held it a while longer just immortalizing the moment in my brain. Then I, regretfuly, handed brom back the egg; he didn't say anything he just held it with a blank look on his face. Then he gently put the egg back in it's chest and locked the chest back up with magic. He slowly walked over to the other chest, opened it, picked up the egg, and handed it to me. This one was a stunning ruby red with a soothing ember like pattern and splashes of almost real flames. I loved it with all my heart, how could I not? Brom saw the look on my face and the way my body started to curve around it protectivly. He kneeled down and placed one hand on the egg his face regaining the blank look. When he was back he smiled brillantly at the egg then me. He said a small spell under his breath, "I'll be right back" he said then walked out the door. I took it as a good sign that he smiled, the egg was extraordinary. Brom walked back in followed by arya, Arya knelt and placed her hand on the egg in the same fashion as Brom had. When she was finished she smiled at me exactly like brom had. I wonder if all elves have the same smile, because her's and Brom's were exactly alike. "Heather, do you know whose egg your holding?" she asked, I shook my head no scared she wouldn't let it hatch for me. "this is my Firnen's and Saphira's egg" she said a smile even in her voice. "oh" I said not willing to say any more. "she's going to hatch for you" Brom said exited for the new dragon. "sorry" he said to Arya feigning an abashed look. She looked at him sharply then said "go get something for her to eat, you know they're always hungry when they first hatch". He left still smiling, Arya glared at his back for a moment then looked back at me, smiled, and said "now we wait"
