Now on to the story!

I am… going…to get you!

Yer'ris pounced on Saphira as they wrestled on the floor. The brother and sister rolled over to Ree'kor who was idling chewing on a rib from the latest cow. Putting that aside he jumped into the fiasco. Mother was preening her left paw of the blood from the recent cow father had left them with. She sighed as she watched her off spring tumble around.

You three watch you claws, she warned them.

Ouch! Ree'kor you bit me! Saphira said nearly nipping her brother back.

Ree'kor, Mother reiterated.

I'm sorry sister, Ree'kor.

Week old Saphira retreated to her spot next to the egg of her green sister.

You're mean, she spat at her brother.

Saphira, what have I been teaching you? Mother said.

Saphira looked up to her mother.

'Your wrath should not win', Saphira said.

That's not it, but close enough, what I really meant is that you should love everyone no matter how much they would irritate you, oh Great Giver of Cows, I cant think straight, Mother said.

Speaking of cows Father said he would be back sooner then usual right mother? Asked Yer'ris.

Mother had hesitated for a while. Yes most likely by tomorrow's time my dear.

There was no doubt about it, father's return this time had didn't excite mother as it usually did. The dragonets could feel it over the mental link.

Father's return does not please you this time Mother, why? Saphira had asked.

Mother sighed.

Know this my precious ones, I will love your father always and pledge myself to him no matter what as said the vows we had both promise to each other before we had took our first nuptial flight. Even if that means that one of your siblings has to leave us.

Leave us?

Saphira looked to the green egg, her sister who had not yet hatched.

Why?

Mother looked over to Yer'ris and Ree'kor who had started their play fighting again. They had no need to listen to this again, they understood the reason. Saphira secretly hated them for that as she looked over to them. Even though she be a week older then them she still had put her family at the top of her priorities.

Saphira, Mother called to her with censure, sensing her dark feelings towards her brothers.

Remember' hate is a foolish evil', Mother repeated her teachings.

Saphira looked down ashamed, sorry mother.

Vervada nuzzled her and pulled her and the green egg closer to her chest and continued on.

I haven't really taught anything about our kind's history with the elves and the humans on how the riders were created haven't I? These pass few days of your life I have been teaching you good morals. Well then, its time you learn.

She huddled Saphira and the egg closer. Even Yer'ris and Ree'kor had put aside their fighting and came to join their mother and sisters. Vervada had settled in with her children. She tugged at their minds and the let their mother in. As she filled their heads with the same story that had been passed down from her mother and her grand sire and so on counting back hundreds of generations back to that fateful day.

It began with the murder of the dragon Shevra who was carrying the eggs of her first clutch, by an elf who regarded our kind as nothing but animals. To the grieving of her mate he took his vengeance on an elf town, eventually leading up to huge war between their two kinds.

The mental images transpired to battles both elf and dragon dying in bloody combat. The hatchlings had felt the very same emotions from their ancestors, all that time ago for it was pass down to generation to generation.

When both sides took heavy losses until one dragon couple fearing for their life had abandoned one of their eggs and that egg was taking in by and elf named Eragon. Who had become the first rider, he and his dragon Bid'duan had ended the war and had the two races become united. From that time dragons had given their eggs to the riders and the rider's dragons served their riders in protecting our world.

That's it? Asked Yer'ris.

That's the end of the beginning, Mother said. But the story continues to this day.

Mother, if we gave our eggs to the riders wouldn't that meant that we all serve the riders, Saphira asked.

The bond that we made that day with the elves is for all of us, rider or wild dragon. The bond gave us dragons a sense of civility and the elves in return got to share in our longevity. So yes, it kind of affects us wild dragons as well. So would we now get something from the humans and over time they would inherit our longevity. A fair trade if I do think so myself.

Mother had shared with them mind pictures about the Humans, Dwarves, Elves, and even Urgals. Saphira didn't care about Urgals or Dwarves that much; Elves were too complicated for her, but humans. Humans were exciting, humans didn't follow any strict regimen like the other races and that made them exciting to her.

Is that why father has a rider? She asked Mother.

Your sire came from a long line of rider dragons his side of the family gains a lot of honor that way, Mother said. While my have been pretty much have been living in the wild.

Mother looked down to her hatchlings and said with pride.

You carry the genes of two great lineages with in you, you know.

Father had arrived back home early the next morning. Mother had awaked to see him carrying his rider, Bayel. He looked straight at her curled up with Saphira, the green egg, and her brothers who were still asleep.

It's time Vervada was all he said to her as he let Bayel down.

Mother had only nodded and turned to greet her beloved's rider.

Greetings Bayel, how is everyone?

"Very fine, Iormungr had shared with me about your hatchlings", the man said to her aloud. "I am happy for you both."

Mother had bowed her head in thanks. Bayel was in his thirties; long mustache with green eyes and his brown hair was tied up in a ponytail. He wore black clothing from his tunic to his breeches to his boots and tied to his belt buckle was sword, its sheath in elegant dragon designs.

The hatchlings were now wide-awake as they had looked up at this strange new being. Bayel knelt before them.

"Don't be afraid there little ones, I am you sire's rider". He pulled a bag from his belt and opened it "I got something for you".

The dragonets looked up to their mother. Go on, he has a treat for you three.

The brothers would have gone without their mother's approval for what ever Bayel was going to give them the smell was to enticing. Saphira followed them up to Bayel who had produced three large glossy treats shaped into a cow. He gave each of them one. Ree'kor and Yer'ris retreated to a nook set aside into the cave to lick their treat ravenously. The treats were sugary sweet but Saphira was more interested in Bayel being the first human she had seen. Bayel was by Mother, Father behind him. Saphira tried to listen into what they were saying but felt their mind's blocking her out. Even Bayel came to speaking to her parents through his mind. Mother had sighed heavily and nuzzled the green egg containing her green sister.

Bayel had knelt down to pick up the egg and put it in a bag on her father's saddle. Turning to Mother he put a hand on her snout and mother nuzzled him.

"Vel einradhin iet ai Shur'tuga, fricai", he said to her. Mother seemed to trust in him. Father nuzzled Mother. I will return later and I'll be able to spend more time with the children.

I look forward to it my love, she replied

He turned away with Bayel holding the bag keeping it from dangling with each of her father's step. Saphira got the idea now; they were taking away her sister. She took action, Mother shouted to her knowing what she was about to do but it was too late. Bayel let out a yelp as Saphira bit down on his leg. Father turned his head around and roared at her full rage that the cave rattled. Ree'kor and Yer'ris ran away to the back of the cave to cower. Saphira immediately let go shrieking in horror of him. This dragon before her was no longer her father but a terrifying monster.

Father wrapped his tail around Bayel protectively. Bearing his teeth in a hiss as mother came up to gather Saphira in her arms. Saphira was frozen in complete fear not a thought in her mind as Mother nuzzled her. Father snorted and let Bayel mount him and they took off.

Mother watched them go and when they were out of sight she nuzzled Saphira with more love then she could muster speaking as softly as she could to her. Saphira began to convulse. If her kind could cry she would have been wailing by now. Mother filled her mind with calming images, but the events that had transpired traumatized her to the very core of her being. Ree'kor and Yer'ris came up cautiously.

Sister? They both said. Sister?

Ree'kor with the treat that Bayel gave them in his mouth shoved it to Saphira's upper jaw.

Tis good, try it, he said.

Saphira just flicked out her tongue for a taste. Yer'ris came by her and snuggled up to her. Her convulsions had stopped; Saphira settled herself and fell in to a deep sleep. Mother was relieved.

I am so proud of you both, she said to Ree'kor and Yer'ris. The family settled in and went to sleep a low humming coming from all four of them.

AN: Cute ending eh? As I wrote that last part I could almost feel the love of the family there. Next chapter should come in by next week.
