Chapter 5

I was awoken by the earth and my soul rippling with warmth and love as an ancient did something I would've never expected them to do. An ancient had blessed Eragon, and I was up and flying through the water heading towards them and I passed the boat that his cousin was on but I moved on and I shot out of the water and hopped into the lake before and I saw no boats on the surface, but I felt the warmth coming from this area. Singing and dancing were seen throughout the forest and I felt at home again swaying with the music as it went through the water and I let my form shimmer into view as I danced with them in sync to what they told of life and what it was, meant, and is. I opened my eyes as I heard the song end and I saw a golden form on the surface and I made the water ripple as I changed to be in-tune with the water, and I went to the surface and I saw the gold male looking into the water with longing and want. My vision went slightly red as I remembered what happened between him and the other dragon and I made the water turn into a wall hard as a boulder and I sent it at him with a force to break a mountain and I made sure that he saw the words on it before it hit him. 

Unworthy, Disrespectful, Hurtful, Pain-giving, Unwanted

Then I watched as he fell to the ground as the crack of a thousand tonnes hit him in the chest and face breaking a few things and a couple elves came by and healed him as an elf pet him on the head and talked to him in his head. 

What happened the elf said and I was surprised to find so much wisdom and pain in his mind and voice

I saw something in the water and I went to investigate, but I couldn't do anything  but watch as they moved in perfect harmony with the music and the water as if they were born from it. I watched from the entire time after Eragon was blessed and I couldn't move as I saw her there dancing with a grace unknown to me with great power and  size. Then the music and danceing stopped around me as well as hers and I wanted to go and find you and Eragon to help in the afternoon training, but then I saw the eyes. Oh like everlasting glades of beauty and... I hit the water making it rumble and I seared his thought from describing me but the things that all would see if they glimpsed what I truly looked like. 

What happened, what's wrong the elf asked and the dragon hummed in annoyance and wonder. 

I can't describe her as I like, I can think it but I can't share it and it kills me he said puzzled and I smiled under the water. 

Then describe what you saw just the modern and plain details and nothing further 

It was another dragon a female everyone gasped and there were many 'but how's' and some just couldn't do anything but gasp and I laughed making the water ripple with my amusement her scales were perfectly matched with the water, any water, her wings were outlines with gold and silver of the finest kind and her eyes were an emerald-blue that matched the sea like the rest of her, her tail and back were also lined with gold and silver in a never ending pattern that outlines every scale and area of her, and her claws were black as night, her mouth and teeth seemed to match the water as well, but I didn't see anything else clearly because the water rippled and she was gone.

I smiled as he described me in the best way still adding the hint of longing and want for me, but I didn't want him, not after what he did, but I saw a couple elves come to the surface of the lake and all the sudden fish started to swarm around me and I felt something trying to bring me to the surface and take away my magic hiding the sightable parts of my body, but I refrained and I sent the fish scrambling away with a breath. Then more joined in and more until the lake was surrounded, and soon the fish annoyed me too much to the point that I considered eating them and I was about to until I remembered something that my mother had said. 

Flashback

Okay Tempest I am going to teach you how to defend yourself against those more numerous or powerful then you chanting or trying to get you somewhere, and some may be easy to get out of till more join and you're stuck in a potentially perilous situation I looked at my mother in the circle of stone and coral around us and I saw several dragons rise from the edges. It was part of my training that as the next queen of dragons that I would have to go through a series of perilous and risky situations that involved me doing things that I might have to do. Mother flicked her tail and I felt something repressing me restraining me from moving and talking, but I could still move my eyes and look around me to see the dragons straining in effort as I resisted. 

What do you do she said and I didn't know at the time and this had gone on for many months as they repressed my speech and movement and eventually it went into more desperate measures and restricted my breathing. 

What do you do she said and I had to search my memories of all the thought and spell books that I had read and learned, and then I figured it out and I had stopped breathing and fell limp pretending to be dead and I could sense my mother's worry as well as the others but they pressed on and I was stuck there for a half hour until their hold weakened and I had the element of surprise. I said the spell in my head and it allowed me to move and I shot into action quickly 'dispatching' the people holding me down and once they were all 'dead' as well as the queen I was congratulated and told that my enemies may not be so wavering next time, and this was fifty years till the fall of my kind. 

End Flashback

My vision returned as I came from the vision and I figured if the Elves were pulling me up then I would go with them and eventually I would be too fast and vast for them to recapture, and if that didn't work then I would have to fight my way out. I opened my wings and shot out of the water, and everything seemed to move in slow motion as I rose above them and into the air and I felt the tethers of magic around me weaken and I roared into the sky letting loose a mix of fire, water, ice, and electricity into the air as I snapped the tethers and I said many ancient runes, spells, and wards to keep them from getting their grip over my mind and body again, and then I shot into the air blending in with the clouds letting my aura and forms slip as I flew up over the clouds as my aura welcomed all the creatures of the forest to my location and I saw wolves the size of houses, bears half the size of mountains, goats twice normal size and steeds smaller than horses but faster and more intelligent than some creatures of the seas. They all came to the lake looking up in longing and confusion at their summoning and then they all bowed as one as I flew off to the ocean to sleep away from the Elves watchful eyes, and that dragons gaze upon me. 

I decided to go to Eragon's cousin and follow them for a little while and they were rowing up a river for some reason and then I heard the sound of battle, not the battle of many dragons training in the ocean, but similar, lesser. Thought nonetheless it was still a battle and I went to the shore to see that Eragon, Saphira, and an army of good, were fighting against evil. It looked like they were winning until I noticed Eragon and Saphira tiring and I smiled. I haven't been in battle for a long time and I missed the quick pace of the fighting and the squishing of my enemies under my talon or jaws, and once I saw Saphira get injured by a spear and then I noticed evil magic along the enemies ranks, many evil magicians twisting the minds of their army of enslaved men, and I poked in their minds undetected using the technique that my mother had taught me, and I saw that they had orders to capture and not kill, even as Eragon and Saphira had wrecked their army. Then a new army came and started to bash the evil one in towards the river and I relaxed a little saddened that I might not have to help in this fight after all, but Eragon couldn't kill all of the magic users by himself even with the few on his side. Then someone yelled about the ship and Eragon got on Saphira and went to them letting the others get driven back without his help. 

I was about to shoot out of the water as Eragon returned and the ship was still intact though there was a new tension in him that came from his encounter with his cousin. A dark shape came from the distance rising in the air and I saw that it was a ed dragon, and it smelled of the same evil that was in the dragon that killed my mother and brethren. I shot out of the water roaring and making the armies on both sides falter as they waited to see who I would attack, and I saw the rider smirking under his mask as I flew towards him, that expression soon turned to fear as he realized that I was attacking him, and I had no quarrel with him yet. I grabbed the dragon by the neck sure to clamp my claws around his and I used my ice to freeze his wings to his sides as I hit him making the rider fly off screaming a name, the name of his dragon as I made us crash into the area near to the water. I dipped my tail into the water and breathed ice and water all over the evil dragon searching his mind though his pain for anything that lead me to believe that he was my families killer and that his riders sword was what was embedded into my mothers chest killing her and leaving me without a family. 

I saw nothing and that only made the anger that I held in my worse, plus when I saw that the dragon had been aged and was a child in mind and an adult in form. I was stricken by a little sadness when I realized that this wasn't the one, but I got off of him and threw myself into the battle ripping, slicing, killing, tearing, freezing, burning, and destroying the enemy army in many other ways than this, but I left the dragon and its rider though evil, they weren't completely evil deep in their hearts, but I couldn't help them get rid of the evil for I was too deep in my anger and grief.
