Druids Rise

Chapter 6~ A tale of dragons

After a very long walk back to Kalunia we took it upon ourselves to go to the tavern where the elf was having beaten us there, His elk was being tended to by a stable boy who only glaced at us then went back to his work. As we walked into the grand tavern we found a place to sit the elf seeing us and walking over a mug of something in his hand as he sat with us.

 "So you have found me not that you were looking would you like to know more about what you saw in the wood?" Said the elf.

"what do you mean we know we have lost our only steeds they were expensive to buy and train" Joseline said with a heavy heart having loved her little white mare.

"The steeds are a lose yes but I'm talking about a much larger scaled beast called the drakorillion" he said

"A what now...I have no idea what you just said or what it means" Darius said as he looked at the elf his face twisted with an amused confusion.

 "a drakorillion is a dragon that is invisible to all but the trusted or a dragon rider at heart...you lot must be the dragon riders that fell so many years ago the dragons were the protectors of us all" he said looking into his lap.

"We would much rather not talk about the fall it was a sad day for all of us though we don't take it lightly it is something we think about often or at least I do" said Joseline.

 "I have not the wisdom to tell you that you have made a noticeable mistake we have not had dragons in many years and are never going to fly again for we have been long forgotten" Darius stated as he got up and walked up the stairs to our room.

"you have not been forgotten by the people just by yourselves" said the elf as he got up and walked out of the tavern getting his elk and moving out of Lishengure people watching as he passed and returned to the woods.

"well he had some nerve huh Trystan" Joseline giggled before getting up and going to the room waving Monroe to follow her leaving me alone at the table finishing my ale.

When I had finished I stepped over by the fire to warm my hands a bit before bed when I noticed a sort of burning on my forearm thinking I had gotten to close to the flames I quickly looked to my arm, but no flames licked at my sleeve so I ran upstairs in a calm manner but when I got to the room I saw the others looking at their arms as well as tattoos and other markings formed on our arms.

"whats going on?" I asked them.

 "I'm not sure I touched this bag that was left for us on the bed and I thought my arm was slowly freezing, Joseline felt as if a moon shown river was gently running over her arms and Monroe felt as if she could feel everything around her as if she could control the very earth itself" Darius said as our newest form of self realization was forming as if we had to find ourselves again.

"I felt as if my body was on fire as if flames burnt my entire body starting with my hands" I said as I walked over placing a hand on the bag and opening its leather binding to see a soft fur lined bag with four large stones inside each a different color one was the color of fire, one was blue, the others were green and the last was white.

"theses are...dragon eggs!" I shouted as I lifted the red egg sinking to my knees hugging the egg tightly.

 "Perhaps they will hatch" I whispered the others grasping an egg and joining me.

 "It worked the first time perhaps we will be able to find a way I do so miss luna" Joseline said softly as she began to quietly whisper words of kindness to the egg in her hands.

"Guys they are not going to hatch the dragons pick their rider not the other way around whoever brought us these eggs doesn't know anything" Matilida said putting hers down and walking to the window opening it. "we will never fly again no matter how many times we pray and wish the time for dragons is over" she said looking to the skies.
