"Well, if your looking for the person in charge, that would be a man by the name of Lord Raylborn, and I can take you too him." Eragon explained, taking his hand of his sword. He then added, "We would like to welcome you as fellow riders." At Saphiras command.
Projecting her thoughts so that all of the riders could hear, Saphira said, Greetings, Forest, Pike, Lira, and Eridor.

"Pike, Raylborn doesn't sound like a woman's name" she said with a smirk "Ok. Then we'll go with you." she said 'Greetings to you as well'

"Very well then, come with me, if Pike is coming." Eragon said, motioning for them to follow. He empisized the word 'Pike' with distain. He didn't like Pike, not one bit.
Don't let your prefrences cause you to be foolish. Saphira advised.
Saphira, you know as well as I do that men like him are the roots of evil. Men that only care for their own plesure cause much sorrow. Eragon conversed as he begain walking towards the double-doors that lead to the council chambers.
But men out for their own plesure can be allies too, at least he does not cause pain intentionally, Saphira reasoned. And Forest may change his heart.
Your right, as always. Eventually he will join a side, and I hope he joins ours. Eragon's words could not be denied. He and Saphira had learned the hard way, drawn to serve the Varden patially out of fear of Galbitorix's wrath.

"Alright. I think Pike and Forest are coming as well" she said and followed Eragon picking up Eri as well. 'Did i make the right decision Eri?' 'We will find out soon Lira' 'That we will....'

Jex turned following Eragon he looked at Lira from the side as he walked.
"How long have you been a rider?"
He asked looking at her dragon who was surprisingly smaller than Draith. Draith watched Eri who was in Lira's arms. Your pretty good at staring. Jex said laughing as he bumped into Draith on purpose. You see your race everyday there are not many of mine. Draith said returning the bump. Ok I will admit I stare at your kind also. Jex said trying to make Draith feel better. It helps a little thank you Jex. Draith said.

Eragon felt exitement rushing through him. Then he realized it was coming from Saphira. What are you so exited about. Eragon inquired as he continued towards the council chambers.
Eragon, I see more of my kind. Maybe yet there is still hope for my race. Earlier, before today, I had only seen three dragons, Gaedr, Thorn, and Draith. Now, two more of the dragonkind are here. Is that not cause to be jouous. Saphira explained, as she padded along behind him. It makes me feel like a hatchiling again.
((Edit: OOC: I would go faster, but I'm waiting for Dannylam4 to post.))

She turned and answered "Not for very long. Eri just hatched for me about a week ago" 'No......more like 9 days' 'Same thing' 'No. There's a 2 day difference' 'So thats why i said about a week' 'Ok. Fine' 'So, how do you feel about all this?' 'I feel excited, yet scared' 'Me too Eri. Me too'

"Ah Draith only hatched for me about a month ago."
Jex said turning to his dragon with a smile.
"I remember the day like it was yesterday though."
You and me both. Draith said returning the grin. That was when you were the young one who needed the teaching. Jex said. I miss those days of me telling you right from wrong. Draith rolled his eyes. It was only a week. Yeah the best week of my life. Jex said pondering back to that week. Well I’m glad you enjoyed it because it will never happen again. Draith said with pleasure.

((OOC: i think today he's going to disappear.....))
"No wonder he's so much bigger than Eri. You would remember, and you'll remember it forever because it was a day that changed your life as you knew it. All riders probably remember the day their dragon hatched for them becuase it is a big change." she replied as they continued walking. The council chamber must be far. 'They all seem nice' 'That they do.' 'I wonder about the council though' 'I do too. What will they be like?' 'I don't know' 'I know you don't' 'Hehe. You should'

((I'm back, anyone miss me?))
Pike ran towards the other and slapped his hand against Eragon's back. "Anything the matter, Eragon of... Aberon or wherever we are," he said, looking around. He looked back down at Eragon as Forest flew towards them. "I thought you'd feel excited about all these up and coming riders."
Forest walked quickly and spoke with Saphira from behind. How long have you been with your companion? Were you born into the Varden?

Eragon took the slap on the back wordlessly. At least he's freindly, he thought to himself as much as Saphira. Then he answered Pikes question, "All it means is more death, and I don't fully trust either of you." Eragon let that sufise, he really didn't want to tell Pike the full extent of his feelings. He feared the ever-present likelyhood of battle, and new riders would just mean that Lord Raylborn would want to push forward. Soon, he would have to kill other people by the hundreds again, soon the ground would soak with blood.
Saphira responded to Forest's question, I hatched for Eragon two years ago, and nay, I was not born into the Varden, far from it.
Eragon pushed open the double doors. Finding the council chambers empty, he turned towards the stairs. Saphira, and any other fully grown dragon couldn't climb them; they wouldn't fit.

Pike smiled to himself and nodded, still walking next to Eragon. "Aye, I suppose you wouldn't, would you?" he asked, putting his arm behind his head. "Quite the ragtag group me and the lady make, eh? A large dragon with us two on his back drop from the sky, no questions asked, and we're being taken to your leader. Pretty suspicious, if you ask me."
Forest followed Saphira, standing by her side. Ah, so you were found too then? he asked. He turned his head and followed the stairs with his eyes. So I guess we wait then, huh?
Pike continued on the path and reached for his pouch, pulling out a small arrow head. "Without trust, there is nothing." Pike slowed down and played with the arrowhead in his hand. He continued walking for a moment in silence and looked at Eragon. "Who was this person who has made you untrustworthy of people, rider? Or is it that you only trust riders of the Varden."

"Its a long story, maybe later." Eragon answered. "And you can still win my trust, we shall see." Eragon still didn't feel like opening up to Pike, Murtagh wheighed heavily on his mind still. My brother... has become our father. He had trusted Murtagh with his life, and Murtagh had betrayed that trust.
'I suppose so.' Saphira answered Forest. She eyed the stairs with distaste. 'I'll never understand why humans are so small, yet so smart... somtimes.'

Jex continued up the steps listening to Eragon and Pike's conversation. I'll stay here with the other dragons. Draith said stopping with Forest and Saphira. Ok stay safe my dragon Draith Jex said turning as he left his dragon. You too my rider Jex. Draith said watching Jex leave. Jex looked at Lira and then at Eragon and Pike. The two didn’t seem to like each other to much. Draith looked at Forest and Saphira. Who seemed to be getting along better than their riders.

Their big mouths compensate for their small stature sometimes Forest said, watching Pike closely. Our companions seem... reluctant of eachother, I believe. What amazes me is how Pike can give such a nice impression on women but seems to annoy the men.
Forest turned his head and looked down at Driath. Does your rider do the same as mine or is it just the islanders.
"As you wish," Pike said, looking ahead at the stairs.

Lira followed Eragon and Pike up the steps. Listening to their conversation as she walked 'You want to come up or stay down here Eri?' 'I'll come with you. So i can keep an eye on you' 'Why would you need to do that?' 'I don't trust anyone' 'Not even me?' 'Well, to an extent' 'Silly Eri.' 'No. Cautious Eri' 'Same thing' she replied to Eri laughing as they continued walking up the steps

Draith looked up at Forest with a chuckle. He is conceited but not like Pike. Jex looked at Lira she seemed to be doing the same thing he was doing listening to Pike and Eragon. It seemed they could go at it for days. He pushed at her mind trying to get in. They seem to be fond of each other. Jex said hoping Lira would not be mad at him for using his new communication methods. He had only used it with Draith, Eragon and when Saphira had talked to him but no one else. Jex still didn’t know exactly how it worked or what it was capable of.

Saphira answered Forests comment, Eragon thinks that Pike looks out for his own intrests above all else. He isn't so much annoyed as... angry. Does Pike look out only for his own intrests?
Eragon stepped up the stairs. The railings were elegent oakm covered in designs. The hardwood steps provided fine support, not so much as a creak sounded from them. Hopefully, I'll be out in just a minute. Eragon said to Saphira. He came to a door, beyond were Raylborn's offices. He lifted his hand and knocked on the solid door.
((OOC: If Raylborn doesn't show up soon, I'll send him a PM))

Forest stared at Pike's back for a moment and turned his attention back to Saphira. Yes, he cares about his own interests, but... his interests are vauge, Forest said, looking arond the room. His interests are in the people, not this organization.
Forest looked over at Jex and the girl, laughing a little to himself. At least they go at it a better way then Pike.[/i]

((OOC: Frig, Jex and Danny those posts were too short. Did you guys read the rules? 75-100 min!)) Raylborn looked up from his desk as a loud knock echoed throughout his office. He dropped the cloth he had been polishing his sword with onto a mess of paper and sheathed the sword. “Enter.” He said, and folded his hands on his desk, awaiting for whoever it was to enter. A lot had happened recently, discovering that there were in fact more shade, new riders popping up all over the place and other things. Interesting times, he could hardly manage it all. He shook his head slightly and let out a sigh, it was probably people requesting his help. But it couldn’t be stopped, he was in fact the leader.
