@Annie

Sorry. I must have misread.  I sometimes don't read carefully when I'm in a hurry.

Aaahh sorry! I didn't see your post Draco, this is so confusing! You can just ignore the one I did with the arrow. I'm just going to wait for everyone's posts to show up before I write any more. BTW, is anyone going to write for Rilleyo or will he just be third-person?

No, it's okay. I just did that so that you could choose between meeting me and Kerra now, or meeting us later.

Speaking of Kerra, where is she?

Kerra--

 

I woke up to find myself in a situation that in many other state of affairs might have seemed strange:

1. I was in a tent and had no idea how I had gotten there.

2. I was being dragged across the ground by a girl I didn't know.

3. I could hear 2 voices talking in Draconian, but couldn't hear what exactly they were saying.

4. Rilleyo was coming toward me and the girl with a sword in his hand and cruelty in his face.

As Rilleyo drew back the sword to strike at us, I kicked out as hard as I could. My foot connected with his knee and he lost his grip on the sword. He yowled in pain. I tried to jump up to run, (as is my habit) but I was still woozy, so I leaned against the girl when she offered me her arm. She helped me up onto a dragon, though I couldn't see what color it was. everything swirled back into blackness as we lifted off the ground.

Actually, I wrote this really long post about why there was an arrow, but then my Internet froze.

Endeyrory Pracea

I nocked another arrow to my bow and prepared to shoot. A girl, maybe about my age or so, ran through the trees. "What do you think you're doing?" she half screamed.

I smiled at her. "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm going to kill your dragon. But don't worry, I'll try not to kill you while I'm doing it. You're quite a pretty little thing." She stamped her foot. I could guess what got her angry. The sarcasm, the killing her dragon, and the reference that she was pretty, and little, and couldn't do anything herself. I can be quite manipulative with words.

And then I was attacked. A spasm of pain went through my head, and the tingling grew. I knew I shouldn't have ignored it. I've been getting attacks since I was four. They used to happen every four months, and the range was only about a quarter mile, but they've been getting more frequent ever since. Two a week now, and everything for two miles.

I could feel the anger of the dragon right in front of me. The pain of the arrow in his leg became my pain. I could feel his bond for with the girl in front of me, and I could faintly feel her emotions, too. She was scared, but angry, and a little confused. There are two other dragons nearby, and they are raging. Raging. There was a dash of fear in there, though. They're closely tied to two girls, and those girls are terrified. But one is...in something deeper than regular sleep. But she's not dead. She's a little confused. There was one more dragon, and there was smugness from him. He was very closely tied to something... something completely evil. Nothing but cruelty and anger. With a start, I realize that it's Rilleyo. The girl who's in something deeper than sleep must be the girl I saw on his horse, and that other girl, well, that must be Siara.

Rilleyo will kill them both. I have no doubt about it. I've known him for years, and he will kill them. For fun. I think I scream then.

And then I'm free of the attack. Somehow, I had fallen to the ground. I breathed in, a very shaky breath, but a breath nonetheless. The girl is at my side. She kneels down. "Are you all right?" she asks, despite of what I said earlier. That's the problem with dragon riders. Most of them are so unbeliveably nice. I nod.

"Sorry," I said, "for saying that you were little." She noticed that I didn't apologize for trying to kill your dragon.

I pushed myself up. "What's your name?" she asked.

I opened my mouth. "Rory," I said, "Rory Pracea." Can't take the chance that she might know the name Endey the Slayer. "Yours?"

"Elyana."

I get on my horse. "There's someone I have to find," I said.

"I'm coming with," she said.

Her words don't register at first. "What!?" I nearly yelled.

"I'm coming with you," she repeated.

"No, you can't. It's way to dangerous for a g-" I stopped myself. "It's too dangerous for a person who doesn't have a sword."

"Don't be ridiculous. You're planning a rescue. I can tell from your face. I've done a lot of those," she added.

She got on the dragon, who had plucked out the arrow from it's leg. That really was not a very good shot. "This is Xell, by the way," she said.

"You named it?" Oops, wrong thing to say.

She glares at me. "His mother named him," she said frostily. I wasn't going to face that glare for another second. I turned and rode off. Elyana followed overhead.

She saw Siara and the other girl before I did, and quickly sized up the situation. "Hey," she called, "need some help down there?"

Ok... so,  Kerra's post could be a little into the future, with Elyana already landing.... then Endey's post is about the same time as mine.

(September 10, 2011 - 9:32 am)

Genius, Endey! Now both of our posts make sense! Let me know if I get anything wrong.

 

Elyana- 

"Hey," I called. "Need some help down there?" A girl with red hair and a one-eared man looked up at me in surprise. I dropped down from the air, landing next to Rory, and waited for Xell to follow, only to realize that he was better off in the air because of his injured leg.
"I didn't realize there'd be so many kids in the forest today," said the man with a scoff. "And who's this? Endeyrory Pracea. Didn't expect to see you here either." An alarm went off in my head when I heard the name. Obviously the person who tried to kill my dragon wasn't revealing his whole name to me, but it also seemed oddly familiar. I couldn't quite place it. Unfortunately, that would have to wait, because the man had a sword, there was a girl out cold on the ground, and I was totally confused by the whole situation.
"That's Rilleyo," said Endeyrory quickly, gesturing to the one-eared man. "And that's Siara Rizlak-"
"Draco," cut in the girl sharply.
"Alright, Draco, and I have no idea who the unconscious one is except that she's the one we're rescuing."
"Well that makes it all a lot easier," I muttered.
"And who might you be?" asked Draco.
"I'm Elyana," I replied. "This is Endeyrory, and that's my dragon Xell. We're here to help." Endeyrory looked a little annoyed with my introduction, probably because of the cheesy heroic bit I added on the end, but I couldn't help it.
"Enough talk, girl," said Rilleyo, scowling. "Let's get this over with." He advanced quickly, and Endeyrory pulled out his own sword. Rilleyo swung, but Endeyrory blocked it.
"Go! Get her out of here!" he yelled, frantically trying to block Rilleyo, but he obviously wasn't as experienced.
"No way!" I yelled back. Suddenly, as Rilleyo drew back his sword to swing, the girl in Draco's arms kicked out and connected with Rilleyo's knee. He howled in pain and fell, dropping his sword.
"Xell!" I called. "Come down! Do you think you could carry us all?" Xell dove down from the air, wincing as his leg touched the ground, and said something in Draconian. I couldn't understand it.
"He said he could carry us for a short distance," translated Draco.
"How did you-?" I started. "Oh, never mind. We have to hurry. Everyone get on!" Draco pulled the girl onto Xell and secured her with a bit of rope. When Endeyrory started to get on, Xell snapped at him and growled. The two glared at each other for a moment, but when we saw Rilleyo getting up again, Xell let him on without complaint. I was the last to go, snatching Rilleyo's sword off the ground and leaping onto my dragon's back.
"Up!" I said, and Xell beat his wings hard, lifting us off the ground. Just in time, too, because Rilleyo reached us the moment we were in the air.
"All you stupid kids flying around on dragons!" he yelled in fury. "I hope you know that I won't hesitate to kill any of you if I ever see you again! Even you, Endey, you traitor!" Endey looked like he was going to be sick to his stomach.
"I couldn't let you kill them, Rilleyo!" He called back, but we were already too high for him to hear. I guessed Endey and Rilleyo used to know each other, but Endey had betrayed him to save Draco and the other girl. Endey seems pretty nice, I thought, then remembered with a jolt how he had tried to kill Xell. I noticed that he was looking slightly green.
"Never flown before?" I asked him with an evil grin.
"Once," he replied. "It didn't go well."
"I'm sure you'll like it once you get used to it," I said, grinning even wider. Payback time. "Draco, how tightly is the girl tied on?" I asked.
"Oh, very tight," she replied, seeming to read my thoughts. Endey's eyes widened in fear.
"Oh no, please don't-"
"Everyone hold on tight!" I interrupted. "Xell, loop!"
We started to tip. Up, up, up, until we were hanging on with only our arms.
"Aaaah!" Endey screamed. I just got a glimpse of his face before we went totally upside down and finished the loop, rocketing down towards the ground and pulling up just in time.
"That was awesome!" yelled Draco. "Let's do it again!" Xell said something in Draconian, probably "Thank you", just before Endey threw up over the side.
"That was for the arrow," I said smugly. "Now let's go find somewhere to land."

"That was for the arrow," Ellyana says. "Now let's go find a place to land. 

"We can land over there. That's where two other dragons, Ferr and Sunflame are," I reply. "Then, we can divide us passengers between them, have them help Xell, and arrive at the place where Ferr's family camps... used to camp." I suddenly become very interested in a certain tree right below us.

I hear Xell say something like "Good!!!" in Draconian. 

When we land, Ferr and Sunflame look at us. "Woah, Draco," Ferr says. "You go alone, come back with three humans and one injured dragon?"

"That's just how it turned out,"  I reply. "Oh and Sunflame, you should thank Elyana here as well as Enderory, even though I think he tried to save Xell, and that's the reason he's injured and even theough he knew the person--"
"Draco never bothered with introductions," Ferr says apologetically to the other dragons. 

"Everyone, we could stand here talking all day, but shouldn't we get going?" Elyana says.  

"True," I say, embarrassed. My father always complained about my dislike of actually introducing people. He said it should stop me from being a good hostess, and who knows? Mabye THAT was the reason I wasn't a good hostess now-- not that I really cared.  

"Okay, everyone. I'll go on Ferr, with Endey, while Elyana can go on Sunflame with that other girl. Speaking of that, Sunflame, would you mind telling us her name? I don't like referring to people as 'the girl'. 

"Her name is Kerra."

"Ok then. And both of you, Sunflame and Ferr, can support Xell between you."

AWESOME POSTS EVERYBODY!!!

Awesome posts!!!!!

This is the 100th post!!!!!

Endeyrory Pracea (Say it: En-day-roar-ee Pray-see-a)

"Nice meeting you and all, but I really have to go," I said. "I have places to go, and things to do."

"Why?" Elyana asked. "I mean, I think I know your name from somewhere. Have I met you before?"

I shook my head. "No."

"What was that back there? What happened? It was like you were attacked or something. And how did you know where Draco and Kerra were?"

I shrugged and felt a bump against my leg. Could it be... yes. Yes. Perfect. I had my ticket out of here. "It happens sometimes. Hunter instinct, I guess. And Rilleyo... I've known him for a while. He's not the kind to just let people go. He will spread rumors about me, but nobody likes him much, so when I say I found his camp and he was drunk and hallucinating and he tried to kill me. Everybody will believe me. My word against his. I may be seventeen, but Verdomin Rizlak likes me. That's good enough for fifty dragon heads."

Draco's head snapped up. "What? What did you say?"

I smile at her. Not nicely. "I said that your grandfather likes me. That's good enough for fifty dragon heads. And Xell, I look as much an idiot when throwing up as you when you're screaming like a baby over an arrow."

Elyana and Draco simeultaneously say, "Slayer."

I smirked. "Endeyrory Pracea. Nice to meet you. I go by Endey the Slayer. Seventy four dragons dead by my hand to date, and your friend... what was her name? Alson? She made seventy five. Very pretty egg she had, too," I said, drawing the green egg with turquoise speckles out. I draw a dagger out with my other hand, and place on the top of the egg. "Too bad that I'll have to smash it if any of you takes a step closer."

"Rory," Elyana said, taking one step, "I mean Endey, why are you doing this?"

My grip tightens on the dagger. "One more step," I said, "don't give me an excuse. As for your question, I'm doing this because my little sisters, Lizta and Ketira, are dead. They were the two bravest girls who ever walked this earth. Know how they died? How did they die? Tell me, Draco. How did they die?"

Draco spoke softly. "I don't know, Endeyrory. But killing dragons isn't going to bring them back."

I smile at her. "I know. It won't bring them back. But it means that somewhere, some other boy won't have to watch his little sisters burned to a crisp."

They don't have anything to say about that.

I take a careful step backward. "I'm going to go to my horse, and I'm going to leave this egg where my horse is. Follow, and I'll destroy it."

"Don't have any kids, and I'll let you die of old age," I said in Draconian. "But I'm warning you, watch where you fly. And Xell, your wings are fat." Xell snarls at me, but he doesn't move forward. Draco stares at me, shocked.

"You can speak..."

"And understand. Watch where you fly, little girls. You never know where I might be."

As soon as I'm out of sight, I turn and run. I wish I didn't have to do that. Alienate them. They seemed nice. We could have been friends. In a world where dragons didn't exist and Lizta and Ketira weren't dead.

I really did like them. There might have been another way... but if there was, I might end up dead. This way is best. We forget and move on.

Only problem is that I won't forget them.

I reach my horse and put the last living remnant of Alson on the ground, and I'm gone.

Best to forget.

I'd love to join, can I? What's the plot?

@Draco. No, I don't think Endey is always going to be the villan. He ran away because he was actually very scared. (Don't tell him I told you that.) Give Endey a little time. He's just a bit confused right now.

@ZB. Sure, I guess you could join. But you'd have to ask Draco. (That's Tiffany W.) She's the  one who created this thread.

Hmmm. Basic plot: Kim A.: Kerra, is a dragon catcher. Alexandra: Elyana, is also a dragon catcher, but she does more stuff with dragons that are bothering towns, I think. Annie: Adela, is a runaway rich girl who wants to be a dragon rider; she's not really connected yet, but I think we're going to meet up with her soon. Tiffany W: Siara Rizlak, but I quote "Call me Draco or you die"; so Draco is a dragon rider who understands dragons. Me, SC: Endeyrory Pracea, dragon slayer. I was the bad guy, but we might and i quote "transfer the villian-ness to Rilleyo."

ooopps.. that's just the characters. Plot: Big slaughter of dragons and knights where Draco lived, and she and Ferr(dragon) were the only one's to get out. (I think.) They go to find help with Alson(dragon), but, Endey (Endeyrory) killed her, very stealthily. Obviously not a knight, so she tracks Endey. In the meantime, Elyana helped in Oakville with a very big dragon problem. Also in the mean time, Kerra sees a captured runner (dragon without wings) and she flies down, finds Rilleyo, and gets kidnapped. Endey sees them but rides past because he thinks that Draco is still tracking him. Draco tries to rescue Kerra. Endey tries to kill Xell, Elyana's dragon, but then is attacked by his sixth sense, where he connects with the emotions of every dragon in a two mile radius. Then he and Elyana go rescue Draco and Kerra. But then Endey gets scared because there are three dragons, and he's a very well known dragon slayer, so he threatens to smash Alson's egg if they don't let him go. Also completely alienates them, and it is revealed that he is a dragon slayer because a dragon razed his entire village and killed his two little sisters. That's where we've stopped. oh, and Endey rides away, but I think they're going to go after him. Also, Draco is the granddaughter of Verdomin Rizlak, the dragon slayer, who's record of 93 dragons Endey is trying to beat by the time he's nineteen.

Wow... how did we fit that into 100 posts??

@ZB. Maybe you should just read it. That might make it easier to understand

One thing... Draco's not really a dragon rider. It's kind of hard to understand since I changed my bio at the last minute...

Here's my actual bio because I'm bored and I want to help people figure things out once and for all.

Name: Siara Rizlak, but she goes by Draco.

Appearance: Fiery red shoulder length hair, brownish green eyes, wears practical and simple clothes

Age: 17 

Personality: Daring and a bit reckless, doesn't like to talk about her past. Dislikes formality, and gets mad at anyone who says a word against dragons.   

Ocucpation: She doesn't really have one, but what she normally does is helps dragons (or tries to)

Background/ history: She is the granddaughter of the most sucsessful dragon slayer (even though Endey might soon beat his record). Her family were all dragon slayers, and hated dragons. She ran away, changed her name, and was never seen again.
