 The sun was barely up and a dense mist seemed to in-circle the feet of anyone out that morning. The sky seemed pale as Nepherion looked up at it. Squatting on a rock, the boy raised his hand over his eyes and spotted the white beast that he knew all too well. Standing up he begin to wave his arm towards the white speck. Starlight !!! Over here ! His mental scream was loud enough to cause a flock of birds to scurry from the comfort of their branches and into the sky. As he waved the beast down with his left hand, his right suddenly loosened on the sword he wielded. The shining scar on his hand begin to illuminate as Starlight's voice responded. I can see you. I'm on my way. He said hint of affection.
As the flock passed by him, Starlight snapped his jaws - ending one of it patron's flight. He flew around the encampment until he approached the human he had come to love so dearly. Beating his wings twice to slow his descent, he dropped to the ground and walked up to the boy. No taller than a horse, Starlight had only his tenacity to depend on. Nepherion touched the neck of his alabaster dragon. The boy chuckled lightly as he felt the deep rumble resonate through his throat. Nepherion sent an image of the two of them standing above the bodies of their enemies. This is what we have to look forward to Starlight, This is our victory. He declared.
Starlight pulled from the embrace and placed his snout against the rider'sbrow. Are you ready for this ? Today begins our journey to becoming true Rider and Dragon. Starlight asked, eyeing him with slanted rubies. Nepherion snorted a mocking breathe before turning from the dragon. He placed his fist on his hip and smiled arrogantly. Of course I'am. Eragon isn't gonna know what hit him. |

Eragon stifled a yawn as Saphira flew lazily over the still earth through the pale morning sun. They were both weary from testing all of the new input of rider's to see who would best stay to defend the Varden - who were best to go.
It had taken all night and Eragon and Saphira were still scared of leaving Alagaesia with too-weak defenses. He was beginning to regret the older dragon only showing him and Saphira the way; he was growing all the more worried that this trip would be a waste of time and leave them fatally outnumbered. Not that it had ever been any different.
Saphira released a short bugle as she spotted the landed white dragon. She tilted her wings and spiralled down slowly; far beyond showing off for any of the newly hatched or joined dragons due to tiredness.
Eragon got himself unstrapped from the saddle and leapt down easily, eyes falling upon the face of rider and dragon in turn. ''Nepherion? Starlight? Are you ready?''
Before he could continue, Saphira nudged Eragon so he would not object and turned her angled head toward Starlight. ''I think a short circuit around the encampment would be a good start, though you look well-built the flying muscles are best observed on the wing.''[/i]
She hoped that would be agreeable, she knew Eragon could do with a few minutes to resupply his energy from the environment around him- he had pointedly refused to take any more from her stores.

Nepherion had eyed the aerial maneuver Saphira had done and in a juvenile manner turned his head away from them and said. " Showoffs. " Starlight lips curled up and showed a sorta smile at the dragon's move. This should be fun. He said aloud to them. The smell of raw meat from swept across Nepherion's nose and caused him to cover it up with both hands. " Try chewing your food next time buddy." He said on the edge of laughter.
After walking up closer - no more than ten feet from them - Nepherion smiled widely and chuckled. " You bet I'am. Let's do this Eragon. " The boy squatted to the ground and begin to stretch both legs. As he stretched he look on at the pair dauntingly, he knew for a fact those two was consider the heroes of the Varden. But not for long. Starlight interrupted. We will undoubtedly become the best and lead victory for the Varden. Never forget that. Nepherion smiled than leaped back to his feet. " Of course I won't. How can I when your always repeating it. " He said teasingly, hoping that the words were low enough to be unheard.
At Saphira's comment Starlight stepped forwards, standing beside his Rider. With a flat gaze on Saphira he said. I more than welcome it. My body is built for both land and ground combat. His tail raised in the air and his talons dug deep into the ground before. Than with powerful thrust he burst into the air. Flying straight first, than banking to circle around and float above his Rider. Nepherion looked up at his dragon for moment than back at Eragon. " So what will we do ? " His question held the excitement of a new student, ready to learn all he could.
