Rise of the Dragon Riders (Page 2 of 3)

Drayek looked down at the approaching town, and had to squint his eyes against the stinging of the smoke that roe from the burning ashes.  Dag'raal landed, and the two stalked towards the ruins.  It had been a small village, of little worth.  From the burns inflicted on the earth around it, and the wood inside it, Drayek judged the damage to have been caused by dragonfire.  A battle of Riders, then.

"Why would they do this?  Burn such an insignificant village?  There is no reason to do so."

War brings out the madness in everyone, brother.  There is fighting farther on, to the South.  I can see Dragons.

"Let's go, and maybe we can find some answers."

He re-mounted Dag'raal, and they took off into the blue sky once more.

(er....mind tunnel?)

(thats just what I call it when you look at someone emotions through magic)

Name: Lesha Keln
Age: 117
Race: Elf
Appearence: Slim but tall woman, strikingly beautiful. Has dark short hair and appears to be in her early thirties. Has one blue eye and one brown eye (See my avatar for an idea of what she looks like).Wears a brown leather tunic and a scabbard at her back to carry her sword Jewel. She also carries a bow and a quiver full of arrows at her back, she is an excellent shot.
Class: Soldier
Affiliation: Order of Riders

Lesha stood in the sparse expanse of trees that were the last to line the peak of the mountain. The snow capped top stopped any further tree growth. Lesha was high enough to see Ashaz attacking a member of the Order. There had been a time when Lesha had called Ashaz friend, but that was no longer.

With bow in hand Lesha reached back to her quiver and retrieved an arrow. The shot was long and Ashaz kept moving but she was a very skilled archer. She held the bow in check for a moment. When she let the arrow go it sailed true and struck Ashaz through the meat of his arm.

Lesha immediately ran for the thin cover of the trees. She was out here alone and she hoped that there were more dragon riders from the Order out and about. She didn’t stand much of a chance on foot.

Drayek climbed off of Da'raal's back, and surveyed the destruction on the battlefield.  The battle had been nearing its ending phases, and he and Dag'raal simply sped the process up.  His blades had tasted much blood, and his own blood screamed for more; he ahd forgotten how much he loved the conflict.

We should leave, brother; this was but a tiny battle.  The war lies farther to the south, according to my last meal.

"Then we go south."

He and his friend took to the air, and soared south, ignoring the choking clouds of smoke that had risen from the battlefield he had left behind.

When Ashaz woke up, he had a quick breakfast while Magmaw was out hunting.  When his dragon came back he re-mounted, and was about to take off, when he heard the whistle of an arrow.  He turned around just in time to see a thin arrow imbed itself in the meat of his arm.  He screamed out in pain, and fell off Magmaw squirming in agony.  A few minutes later, when the pain wasn't as bad, he pulled the arrow out of his arm, grunting all the while.  Then he bandaged it up with a scrap of cloth from his pack.  Finally, he was ready to fly again..... except he was really ticked off and decided to hunt whoever had shot at him.  He leapt onto Magmaw's saddle, and together they shot up into the sky, and from there flew over the forests searching for the scumbag who managed to lay an arrow into his arm.

*was wondering that myself; havn't read the books, so please forgive if I seem a little lost at times   *

(( Do you want me to notice you Adeptus?))

( K )
As Ashaz flew down towards the forest, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.... when he turned his head to see what it was, to his surprise it was a Dragon Rider, not another arrow sailing towards him.  Forgetting about his hunt, he told Magmaw to fly down to the Rider to see if he would join him as a Forsworn, or if he was a Forsworn.

" Greetings, my name is Ashaz, and my partner here is Magmaw.  What is yours?"  Ashaz questioned.

Lesha ran but took a second to look over her shoulder. Another dragon rider flew high in the sky and it distracted Ashaz from her. She smiled for the diversion and made a run for it. She found herself an outcropping of rocks and took her bow in hand once again. She aimed at Ashaz, this time at his leg.

Drayek and Dag'raal stood by the ege of a forest, watching a crimso Dragon streak into the sky.  So this was where the riders camped.  Dag'raal looked at Drayek, and spoke.

If you wish to earnt their trust, brother, you should talk to them, alone.  Make yourself seem less important, and give them a sense of power, to see how they treat those beneath their station.  I will wait out of the forest.  Contact me if you need assistance.

Drayek nodded, dismounted, and then entered the forest.  He walked for aout five or ten inutes before arriving t a clearing.  Instead of the sprawling camp of Riders he had expected to see, there was a single Dragon and Rider, aparently relaxing.  Confused, he walked into the clearing, and greeted them.

"Hail Rider!  How goes it this day?"
