All OC's are my own however if i get any meanings wrong forgive me, not quite sure what i'm doing but this idea just won't leave me alone. you may notice that I've gone very old Norse for a lot of the names. Just trying to give the feeling of Eragana travelling around the world and picking up strays. Hope some people enjoy it.

Chapter One

The three strange ships made anchor just past the three sisters, while a lone ship approached the harbour of White Harbour like a graceful swan. The like's of this ship had never been seen before by anyone in Westeros. It was this ship that had carried Eragana away from Alagaësia fifteen years ago. Since then five more ships have been added to her collection as she travelled to places no one person had been before. As her ship approached this new land she looked up to the sky where she could just see the speck that was Saphira, flying so high that she would be mistaken for a bird should anyone be looking up. As the ship started to make dock she thought on the three ships anchored at a safe distance, waiting for the signal from saphira on whether to make for the harbour or back out to sea. It was Eragana and her companions job to find out if this was a land that they could make land for a short time.

One of the ship's was for the three new male riders that she had managed to find over the last fifteen years, the eggs having hatched for them. The oldest dragon after Saphira was now eleven, a deep purple female that goes by the name of Turid, named by her rider Arne after the female version of the God of his religion. Eragana had saved Arne's life twelve years ago from a ship wreck, and had been unable to get him to leave her side ever since, his family having perished in the wreck. After a year of him proving his loyalty she placed a dragon egg in front of him and Turid hatched. Since then they have trained alongside Saphira and Eragana, with Turid and Saphira developing a very close friendship.

The next two eggs didn't hatch until six years after Turid and hatched within months of each other. Both where male and where very similar in looks. Dumer was the oldest of the two, a deep golden colour with black spikes where as Snorre (meaning unruly one) was a lighter golden with white spikes. Ironically their riders where twins. Eragana found them on a small Island called Theed that was having a problem with pirates who where hired to take over the island by a greedy chief of the near by Island of Zante for it's coal mine, Eragana and Arne where able to destroy the pirates operation and expose the Chief of Zante for what he was.

Dumer's rider was called Rolf. He was able to get his hands on a egg by accident, after having snuck onto Eragana's ship, The Blue Dragon, during a feast that was being held in her honour, and found a egg that Eragana had been watching as Saphira could sense some movement in it. Dumer had felt that his destined was close by and had started to wake up.

After Dumer hatched for Rolf, Eragana revealed Saphira to the village and explained how she was trying to start up a new order and trying to find a home for it. Olav, jealous of his twin, asked to be tested, and Snorre hatched for him. The Cheif of Theed, Asmund, let Eragana know that there was nowhere suitable near by for the dragons but that they would pledge there alligence and support to her in return for her protection. Eragana agreed, stating that she would train the twins and they're dragons so that they could eventually take over the protections of Theed when they where ready.

When at sea the three riders lived aboard The Islingr (Light-bringer). She was a war ship, gifted to the order by Asmund, that had seen a lot of battle, but she was sturdy, which was needed with three dragons trying to land on it. Only Dumer or Snorre could land on the deck of her now with Turid having grown so much. Which was what the third ship was for. Named The Nest, for that was what it was for the dragons. With only a skeleton crew of the elves The Nest was a ship reinforced in every way possible to give the dragons somewhere to rest on long journeys at sea.

Each ship was able to carry its own supplies but on longer journeys The Dragons Pearl joined them. She was a cargo ship, designed to take larger loads and capable of transporting livestock. Eragana needed to find out if she could get the Dragons Pearl in to the dock alongside the Blue Dragon in order to restock her cargo and turn the horses lose for a few weeks. The Dragons Pearl had twenty horses on board and Eragana wanted to give them a break on dry land.

Once the Blue dragon had finally docked, Eragana asked Arne, who had joined her on the Blue Dragon along with Rolf and Olav, to join her on the bridge.

"You remember the Plan? She asked him

"Yes Ana, i remember the plan. It's the same plan we use every new land we come across. I go down with Rolf, Lance and Garth to ask for an audience with however is in charge of trade and explain that we are travellers and that my Lady wishes to discuss a trade negotiation to fill up are ship that is sitting just outside the bay." Arne said with the tone of someone that goes through this a lot.

"Just making sure, no need to get sarcastic" Eragana replied. Arne rolled his eyes and turned to leave, calling out to Rolf as he did. Eragana watched from the bridge as the four men got ready to disembark, trying to get a hold of her instincts, which where screaming at her that this land would forever change her life.

Arne

As soon as he stepped of the ship, Arne stretched out with his mind and skimmed the thoughts of those near by. The ship itself had already attracted attention, the design so different to those ships already in the harbour. Arne was relieved to find that he could understand the thoughts of the men around him so they're wouldn't have a language barrier. the quartet hadn't made it more the ten steps from the ship when they spotted a official looking man coming down the dock with three guard behind him. "Obviously prepared for trouble, don't be giving him a reason to need to use those guards" Arne muttered to Rolf in the Ancient language. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Rolf smirk, he had caused a few problems in the past by getting smart with people.

The approaching quartet finally made it to Arne's party and blocked the way further down the gangway. "Gentlemen, welcome to White Harbour. I am Ser Oswald Trench, master of this ship yard, Is there any way that i could be of assistance?

Arne crossed his right arm across his chest and bowed his head in greeting before dropping his arm again. "Ser Oswald, i am Lord Arne of Trune, speaking for my Lady Eragana Argetlam. We are travellers from a distant land and have been at sea for over two months and are in need of supplies. She requests an audience for a trade negotiation in order to resupply the four ships that she has with her".

" Yes yes, i'm sure we will be able to work something out" Arne could see in the mans eyes that he was already thinking about the amount of gold this could make them, "I will pass the request onto my Lord"

Again Arne bowed his head in thanks, " My Lady also requests me to inquire about suitable lodgings for the night".

"Yes my Lord. I am sure that my Lord will be more than happy to host the Lady Eragana, i will go straight to him" Ser Oswald replied, he then pointed to the guard to his right who stepped forward and gave a slight bow." In the meantime Cain here will be at your disposal" before turning around and heading back up the gangway.

Arne turned his attention to Cain and asked "Is there a stables nearby that we could house my lady's horse?"

"Yes my Lord, just at the mouth of the docks"

Arne nodded his head before turning to Lance and telling him to go and unload Eragana's horse, Spartan. The Black stallion, who was the only horse that travelled on The Blue Dragon, was a temperamental beast. He had two people that he liked, Eragana and his stable boy, Luke. Anyone else took they're life into they're own hands by approaching him. So where Spartan went, Luke followed.

Arne turned back to Cain and explained to him about Spartans attitude towards everyone but his mistress and, in his eyes, his servant. Cain suggested they go onto the stables to make sure that there was a suitable stall for the temperamental stallion.

By the time they has Spartan in his stallion and those who worked in the stables warned Ser Oswald had made it back from meeting with his Lord, with the news that he would host the Lady Eragana and her guards in his home and that he requested that she join him and his family for an evening meal.

Arne made his way back to the ship to give the illusion of having to Inform his Lady of the news, when he knew she already knew, having sensed her keeping a mental eye on the whole proceedings.

As he suspected, she met him on the deck of the ship along with Arlene, her maid. As he approached she said "they are just bringing up our stuff now" and true enough not five seconds later three elves disguised as Eragana's guards came from her quarters with a trunk each. Arne knew that Eragana didn't need half the stuff in them but they had found that when approaching unknown Lords it's best to give of the appearance of someone important.

Eragana descended from the ship like a queen. Everyone in the crowd that had gathered in the time since the Blue Dragon had docked stopped what they where doing and stared as she made her way towards the carriage that was waiting to take Eragana from the docks. Arne could see Ana's face trying to screw up in displeasure when she spotted the carriage. She hated carriages. Hated giving up control to someone else. Arlene got in the carriage with her and Arne closed the door after him and went to the horses waiting behind. The Elves and Humans that made up Eragana's guard where already mounted. Arne approached and mounted the bay gelding that was standing in between the twins two grey mare's, before following the carriage away from the docks.

Well that's my attempt at a first chapter. Hope some people where able to follow it. I'm not very good at this. Also not sure how often i will update. It wasn't until i started writing that i realised of much research i will need to do. And i know I've left out two ships, they're not with them atm.
