Jail break

[Orion]

Orion quickly knocked the dagger aside with his sword Rauthr and shouted the spell again and shot out towards his mind.

[ᗩпїra]

Hérion nipped and snapped out in a silent rage towards the dragon that had warned his Rider of the incoming attack. He wasn't going to hold back now, since Anira risked her life to save his, it was only his chance to risk his to save hers.

He swerved in a cone-like direction, ripping out with his large claws as he tried to get a grip on the soft scales of the underbelly. Hérion swerved around the dragon, using his surroundings such as nearby fallen debris, fallen trees, and other items to divert his attention back to himself.

Fear me, for you have attempted to kill my Rider. You shall die. Hérion bolted forward and snapped out at his neck, missing and only catching air with an unsatisfied growl.

---

Anira's mouth open slightly, a silent scream of pain as each limb was broken and tears were sent streaming down her cheeks in a defiant manner to wash away the blood that gathered from the multiple cuts willingly given after she was knocked out with the spell.

Suddenly she awakened, odd eyes still devoid of all color as she blinked away the light that suddenly entered her eyes. Vlaer!

The spell was cast once more, sending the pain withering away and into the recesses of her mind yet again.

[Nandon]

Aysten was still in the room with anira since the other post was powerplaying.....

After he sent the dagger aysten launched himself across the room his other dagger drawn. As orion reached for aystens mind it continuiously slipped away like a marble in water. And the spell aysten had already guarded so he leaped across the room trying to take advantage of his sword flicking away his other dager to stab at the riders hand

[Aelodil]

Angered that this Rider had put Anira in so much pain he re-doubled his efforts to crumble the Riders mind before saying out-loud "You haven't given us the honor of your name or your dragon's."

[Orion]

Orion felt the pressure of the Rider trying to press into his mind. The Eldunari pressed back and much harder. He was strong, but Orion was making progress. He dodged and parried attacks with ease, mainly with the help of the wonderful Eldunari. The man leapt at him with his dagger he grazed his hand, making it bleed a little, but he swung with the butt of his sword towards his head as he passed.

Kveykva meanwhile parried the blows Herion gave him with ease, avoiding his teeth and slashing back himself.

[Aelodil]

Letting a probe of his mind enter Aysten's mind he said "Get Anira out of here, I can't hold him much longer, he has an Eldunari."

In the mean while Belgabad was flying over to Herion to help with the youth dragon of the other Rider, when he got there he swung his massive claws at the dragon.

[Nandon]

Aystne grunted as the hilt of the blade hit his head. He felt little pain as his adreniline was pumping, as he flew past him he grasped anira's hand and dragged her with him as he hit the wall.

Making sure she was semi Ok he looked at vlaer and then nodded before he went to pick anira up and then shouted "thrysta!"which summoned a explosion of air infront of him causing them both to blast through the back wall muttering another spell to slow there decent and make them invisible "heron i have anira disengage from the fight!"

[Aelodil]

Belgabad was angered that the Rider against them was using an Eldunari, to make things fair he joined his mind with partner-of-his-mind-and-body and together they sought to crush the Eldunari and crumble the Rider's defenses.

[Orion]

Orion shouted for Kveykva, "They have her! Come get me, we shall chase them" Kveykva knew this was true and disengaged and swept by the hole in the wall as Orion jumped and landed on his back. He reached out his palm and shouted in their direction, "BRISINGR!" Meanwhile, the other Rider was attacking him with his own dragon, Kveykva joined in with him and the Eldunari,

[Aelodil]

Vlaer and Belgabad took the chance to their advantage and struck their spear-hard mind into that of the Rider and began to crumple his defenses while Vlaer quickly casted a counter-spell that made him even more determined to save the two youths.

In the meanwhile, Belgabad saw the other dragon flee and chased after him ramming into his side and whipped his tail at the dragons wing to break it.

[ᗩпїra]

Hérion gave Belgabad a large roar of approval and appreciation as he dispersed from the fight by tilting his wings to the left and just barely avoiding the large vicious snap of jaws that closed a few inches from his wing. He glided down, opening his wings like a parachute to steady himself and balance on the broken tower, leaning down so Aysten could strap the limp Anira into the saddle.

Upon seeing his Rider, an urge of rage coursed through him at the multiple slashes and cuts, and the weird angle her legs and arms were arranged in. It almost seemed like she went through a shredder, or was turned into a voodoo doll and brutally abused at that.

Once Anira was firmly strapped into the saddle, he kicked off his back legs and swerved to the right and gripped Aysten by the scuff of his shirt, explaining to him the overhead attack that he could perform on the Rider from above.

[Nandon]

AAysten landed safely and ran around a corner he set anira down and began healing her many wounds for a moment before he muttered a spell to wake her up.

His breaths came in ragged gasps from the magic use and he felt cold all over his body despite the mid day heat.

"There....how does that feel?"He aysten asked slowly

[Nandon]

Aysten after healing anira's wounds was tired but ready for vengence.

As heron flew him close to the dragon aysten signaled him to release him onto the back of thhe dragon so he could fight the rider himself.

[Nepherion]

Dras Leona... A city both rid of the Empire and yet still shrouded by the Empire. How could a place be so off balance. Often that place had been the center of several battles between the Varden and Empire Riders, leaving much of its building scorched black and crumbling. Even now, billows of dark clouds still rose high into the sky and veiled over the starry darkness above.

It was hard for him, for Nepherion to mediate between the two. Being a neutral party in it all had kept him from choosing sides, but he could never let the justice in his heart stay still. It always ended up leading him to helping out the Varden, putting even more strain on his place as a neutral party.

Nepherion sat in Starlight's saddle, the massive white dragon floating aloft high above the dark clouds that shrouded the city. Starlight's noble yet, youthful voice called out him. " What will you do Nepherion ? " he inquired, knowing the hesitant thoughts in his Rider's mind. Nepherion's right hand reached up to the bundle of brown cloth wrapped around his neck in a attempt to keep his cloak from flowing to recklessly in the wind. He honestly hadn't known but for now he had little choice in the matter. A rider like him had been caught up in the conflict between the Varden and Empire at a young age. He was weak back then but now he was stronger, if he had to estimate he believed he could take on Eragon and give him a good fight before losing.

With a sigh Nepherion rubbed the back of his head with his free hand. " We don't really have a choice.. We'll have to intervene. " Unlike most people in that situation Nepherion held confidence in his voice, he knew without a doubt that he could handle them. And it was all because of the one thing that neither of them below him had.. And that was Bid'Daum -- The greatest heart of hearts.

Nepherion tightened his grip on Starlight's large ivory spike with his darkened gloves. The pale white dragon was now the size of two-and-a-half houses but with a more balanced body than that of Thorn's and a more muscled body than that of Saphira's. Blue tendrils of blood coursed through the membrane on his wings but was only faintly in sight. Before he knew it Starlight had dove down through the dark clouds, the harsh heat in them stung Nepherion's eyes and brought tears to them before he wiped them away hastily. This was the time for their plan to go into action.

Starlight dropped from the sky with a furious roar, bringing the attention to himself and himself alone. Its roar shook the very air in front of him as he circled gracefully around the buildings and in particularly curving around the large building that had housed the Rider prisoners. He brought himself ontop of the building and clawed his paws into it upper part, bring his head over its large frame and holding himself up on it, clenching its frame in a way that seem both terrifying and majestic.

He looked down at the conflict between the two-legged-rounds-ears and the other children-of-the-sun. A bit of disgust touched his barbed tongue as it slithered out his mouth. " This is shameful. " he spoke to Nepherion, who was oddly enough no longer on the saddle, but then again who was too know that he ever was when they had hid so well in the darkness before descending down. Taking most of the attention, Starlight let out another roar before speaking to the others dragons in conflict. " Calm yourself my brethren. The world has duped you two into killing each other, when we all could easily leave in peace. " he told them sternly. .

" Well you'll just have to keep them busy now won't you. " responded Nepherion in the privacy of their bond. Nepherion use the "True" language to stick his hands onto the cylinder frame of the brick wall. He knew Dras Leona well enough to know that their was only one room to " truly " hold a Rider and that was at the thickest and yet highest part of the tower. Nepherion placed his ear to the wall of the tower before casting his mind out into it. In the room was several sentient beings but only one was large enough to be considered human. A small spell of the explosive design was released out of his mouth, blasting a hole into the wall and allowing him entrance. The drain was large but it wasn't enough to weaken him significantly.

The explosion was small but its shock wave would be heard, that much he was sure of. Nepherion stepped through the debris and finally revealed his features to anyone already inside. His hair, through magic had been returned to its original immaculate color, only difference being that it was now to his mid back.

Then a voice suddenly chimed in and Bid'Daum's deep, mountainous tone touched his mind. " A battle is ensuing, Will you join them. Will you once again be forced to choose a side. " Nepherion was crouched down on the ground and yet he stilled managed to looked down at the sac on his side. Which was the home of Bid'Daum, the source of his guidance and for the most part his confidence. With his advice and strength he knew that no one could beat him.

Nepherion's eyes widen in disbelief and a snarl found its way on his face as he was force to decided. Either way he couldn't waste much more time. " Bid'Daum I'm borrowing your energy. " He told him as he cast a quick and yet effective ward over himself. This way anyone that attempted to harm him would only harm the ward and though it could take only a little, it would do until he could solve the problem. The tower was obviously at war now, but with who and for what ? Was the real questions. Nepherion through the hole he had made and slide down the tower and onto Starlight, who had given chase after the two Riders and Dragons. " We have to subdue them, No matter what. " he growled. He lifted his hands up in the form of a claw as he spoke the words of binding. He raised the two up just out of reach of each other and then with a ancient spell he learned from Bid'Daum, though it absolutely required his massive reservoirs of energy he place the wailing voice of the man's eldunari to sleep. The situation was perfect cause just putting one to sleep was already difficult enough. " Guys its time to end this, no more fighting or I'll rocket you both into the dark abyss above. " he threatened, his voice sounded ill with ominous intent.

[Orion]

Orion heard the roar of a dragon bigger than Kveykva. That put 2 dragons bigger than him, plus a smaller one. And he was supposed to be a big one. All if a sudden, Vlaer's dragon slammed into Kveykva, making them spiral to the ground.

Kveykva spread his wings in time and regained balance. He spun around on his belly as Orion hung on and breathed fire at the dragon. Quickly he turned back over and raced over the forest before turning back around and coming after Herion. He felt a new serge of attacks on his mind, but he was rock solid. His Eldunari, him, and Kveykva all thrust there mind at his with renewed strength. If they took Anira, Galbatorix would certainly make him suffer. For what he knew, Galbatorix was on his way, he just had to hold them off until he arrived, if he did.

Then Aysten was dropped onto Kveykva by Herion. Orion slashed at him and Kveykva spun over as Orion hung on, trying to shake Aysten off. They quickly spun back over and Orion slashed again, the two of them went back and forth on Kveykva's back.

[Aelodil]

Vlaer's energy suddenly dropped as the wards he placed around Belgabad protected him from fire. Then the Eldunari with the oath-break rammed into his mind and he was confident that if he hadn't been trained by his name-sake, the Head Dragon Rider Vlaer, his mental barriers would've been destroyed. However he remembered watching his Master, the only one that was like a father being struck down by the oath-breaker and that gave him energy beyond imagination. He ran outside and called out for Belgabad in his mind and jumped into the air before Belgabad came and grabbed him before putting him onto the saddle. Then they combined their minds and body and together they flapped their wings, desperate to save their apprentices and Belgabad roared so loudly that he was sure it would be heard all the way to Uru'baen. Slamming his tail against the bothersome building Belgabad crushed it and again rammed into the smaller dragon and clawed the dragons underbelly before biting at his wing while Vlaer slashed at the younger Rider's neck stopping his blade an inch away from the youth's neck and said "Surrender, or leave us alone. We have no quarrel with you.". They then rammed the full force of their ancient minds into the youths knowing that now without their Eldunari the youths were at their mercy, however decided to let them go. T

[Nandon]

Aysten yelped and ducked under the slash and then as they started to roll aysten went to plunges his daggers into the dragon and use them like hand holds as they rolled and turned.

When aysten looked up after the rolling stopped he saw another slash coming and gather his daggers and blocked the blow. But then the rolling started again and aysten was flung off into open space.

One time a short while ago he had crashed into a tree while trying to fly. But he realized he didnt have the energy to slow his fall. Nor did he have the energy to push himself forward onto one of the taller buildings.

Aysten sighed as he contiuned to fall and the closed his eyes waiting for it to be over

[Aelodil]

Seeing Aysten being flown Vlaer cursed under his breath and cast a spell to slow his fall so he would gently tap against the building. The energy he lost wasn't too much considering how old and immense his mind was, but he still relied a lot on Belgabad in their mental war with the Rider and his dragon.

[Nepherion]

Nepherion could barely hold his anger in, he felt helpless in the battle. How could he sway two sides that both so desperately wanted to end each others lives. It was an utterly hopeless, and never ending endeavor.

Starlight flapped his wings steadily, feeling Nepherion's own confusion, and yet feeling something even more formidable swelling up inside of him. He wasn't sure how to re-act to this new feeling but Starlight knew that his Rider would solve this conflict just as he had the others before it.

Nepherion sat in the saddle holding the two as the others had begun to attack. What he was contemplating doing was a feat that most would never had thought of doing. Would he actually be capable of doing it, would the other resist ? And would he have the power to push them back ?Those were the only things that kept him from re-acting immediately.

" Vanquish your fears my bearer, you may draw upon my power and show these hatchlings the power that we possess. " Bid'Daum reassured him.

Nepherion's eyes snapped opened and his hands wrenched outwards as he pulled on Bid'Daum's vast energy. Everytime he touched the Eldunari's mind he could see and feel his memories, they ranged from the beginning of the order of the Riders to the very first time that they had met. His power was immense, it could very well fill the entirety or the Beor Mountains. Back then... No even still, he couldn't grasp the full comprehension of his strength. Where and when did it end ? Had he been storing all of this energy just to be passed down to him. It was truly an honor to fight along side him.

With his hands outstretched Nepherion gathered his and Bid'Daum's magic, as usual he left Starlight's to himself in case of an emergency and begin to speak the spell. " Malthinae thorna Varden un Empire stríðsmenn " he barked, letting his voice ring out through the air. The spell was design to hold everyone still, effectively binding them and possibly even freezing them in their tracks. This would happen before the others could attack, it was a deterrent of the senseless killing and combat. The spell was wide range type and strong but most of all.... It was taxing. The spell was going through his supply of magic fast and if not for Bid'Daum's help the spell would have left him weakened and easy to kill.

Nepherion looked at everyone for a moment before speaking. " You all are fools. You all fight a senseless and never ending war. Just stop this and move on with your lives. You should be happy just to have your partners with you, stop trying to slay each other... " A groan of frustration left him, he could tell if they would actually stop or not but he knew this had work. Or else he would have done all of this for nothing. His eye made their way to the largest and eldest of the Rider and Dragons. " You most of all should know how idiotic this battle is. " he commented.

[Aelodil]

Smiling coldly Belgabad and Vlaer responded saying "We have no wish for a quarrel, however these youths kidnapped our apprentices and now that we have them back we shall leave in peace." Using magic Vlaer pulled Aysten into Belgabad's saddle then hopped onto Herion and began to heal and awaken Anira before he called upon his own strength, Belgabad's, and Herion's to teleport them all (Belgabad,Vlaer,Anira,Aysten, and Herion deep into the forest.
