Ch. 8

The night after they left the house where Render and Levi’s brother lived they were all sitting on the deck with the full moon over them. Will was sitting on the edge of the ship, tempted to jump in, but too deep in thought to do anything, but sit there. Render was floating and meditating. Bonnie was trying to figure out where they were using a map of Alagasia and a navigational tool. Charity was balancing on the yardarm of the main mast. Leviticus was deep into a book that only he knew how to read. Will asked him what it was about and he said it was a book about the Dragon Blade. He also said that his brother placed magical spells on it so you couldn’t read it unless you cast a green glow on it in the light of a full moon. Will was absolutely fascinated by this and tried to read over his slightly shorter friend’s shoulder (but it was in a language he did not know).

Then Leviticus let out a gasp of excitement that made everyone jump. Charity even fell from the yardarm, but Render caught her with magic. They all came over to where Will and Leviticus were and asked what that was all about. He told them that the book contained a map to the location of the Dragon Blade. He said that the first place they needed to pass though was the Mountain of Senselessness. All of them asked what it was and Leviticus told them that it was a mountain where you can not find north, the sun is rises at night and sets in the morning, the mountain is filled with mirages, and most frighteningly if you don’t know where you’re going you will be trapped there forever. Everyone was a bit frightened, but they were ready to do what they needed to.

They set sail for the mountain, but when they were part way there they realized that they had forgotten to find another human. Will had an old friend who lived in a village outside the mountain. They stopped there and everyone met him. His name was Flint Kidd. He was as tall as Charity and as everyone was surprised to learn was her brother. He had come to Alagasia through a tunnel much like the one Bonnie and Charity had come though, but he came through much earlier.

He agreed to help and they left the village and went towards the mountain. They were all glad not to be on the mountain, but the anticipation of the next day was almost unbearable. Render, Leviticus, and Will tried to cheer everyone up by telling stories and using magic to make pictures, but everyone still had trouble sleeping that night except Will who always sleeps well outside.

The next day they started the climb up the mountain. It was cold and windy and the climb wasn’t too steep, but it was still exhausting. As soon as they got onto the mountain the sky became dark. “This is what I told you about.” said Levi. There were pools of water everywhere, but they were not really there. This made everyone’s thirst ever worse. There were not creatures on the mountain, except the dragons and there was an unnatural silence over everything. Will and Bonnie tried to start a conversation, but it ended because they both became too distracted by the strangeness of the place. That night they made a fire and ate what food they brought with them. The dragons did not eat because there were no animals to hunt. Levi told them of the dangers. He said that the rock can come to life and swallow you up into a hole if you walked into a mirage.

On the second day they climbed to the top of the mountain. Once they reached the top they were all shocked to see that the other side of the mountain was gone. Leviticus told them that is was only an illusion and that they should get on the dragons. Once they were all on the three dragons they slid down the mountain at a quick pace and reached the bottom. Once at the bottom Leviticus’ book looked larger. “Has your book grown?” asked Charity. “Yes. It will reveal the next part of our journey.”

That night Leviticus told them that the next part of the journey will require the ship. Will and Render then began to float above ground and glow. Then, on the shore the Golden Dawn appeared in the water.

Ch. 7: The Legend of the Dragon Blade

----Today Render, Levi, Will, Charity, and Bonnie went swimming. After swimming for about three hours Render and Levi came up with a great idea. "Let's go visit my brother!" said Render. "How many do you have other than Levi?" asked Bonnie and Charity. "Three and a sister. My oldest brother is the one we will visit." "What is he like?" said Chair. "He is very wise and a great story teller. He knows most of the legends of Alagasia." Well then, are we just waiting for him to come here?" "Will's right. We should get going. Just jump in the water."


----As soon as they jumped into the water they were outside a large house with a beautiful garden. Then an tall elf came down from a tree and said, "Hello brothers. It has been such a long time since I've seen you. Will! You must have grown a yard since I last saw you! Oh. I'm being terribly rude. Come inside and have a seat. I'll make us some lunch." They then went in the house and it was larger than it had appeared. It had three stories, twelve bedrooms, eleven bathrooms, two kitchens, a study, a game room, a parlor, a dining room, a den, a porch, and two balconies. Once lunch was ready Render's brother told them a story. The Legend of the Dragon Blade.



----"Once, in the time when dragons we're hunted the leader of the dragons came to a wise old wizard and asked him to help them stop the humans and elves from killing off their people. The wizard agreed. He asked three elf men, two human women, and a human man to defeat the hunters. The six agreed, but they could not defeat the hunters with their weapons. The wizard knew this and so he asked the dragons for six shards of dragons egg. Then he made six mystical swords. The sword had a carefully constructed blade and a piece of dragon egg on the hilt. Those swords destroyed many man and dragon, but brought peace between the people and dragons. I did not tell you this story for entertainment," said Render's brother, "But because there is an evil force gaining power. In my studies I have come across it. The only thing that can possibly defeat it is if you find these swords. Will can wield the elven one because he is a rider, but you will need to find another human to help you." "We will try to find someone as soon as we can." said Render. "Well I guess we need to go now." said Levi. "It was nice seeing you." "As it was you. I will come to help you on your quest soon, but do not wait for me or you may loose to to the evil."


----And so the five friends left the large house of many rooms and went in search of the swords.


Until next time,


---Will Robin---


*Btw. I drew that sword and Rob tricked it out on Photoshop.*

Ch. 6: I don't know what to call it so it's just Ch. 6

As you know, the day before today Will, Render, Levi, Chair, and Bonnie has spotted land. So on that note, here's the story;

When the crew awoke they were refreshed both physically and mentally. If you recall, Render was very grouchy the day before, but today he was as cheery as a boy scout. Bonnie who was also somewhat bad tempered the day before was as nice as you could imagine! It was the same way with everyone because they were going on dry land today.

For breakfast (which was served at 7:00) they had the last fruit and wine and had a piece of toasted hardtack each. Over breakfast they talked about what happened yesterday. "What do you think caused that?" said Will. "Oh, probably a tropical storm." said Charity who was a seasoned sailor. "Well I love the lightning!" said Render. "Yeah, I can't wait to use mine." said Will. "Well, looks like we're coming close to the shore," said Levi, "Do we swim or row?" "Swim?!" yelled Bonnie, "That shore is three miles away! You guys can swim, but me and Chair will row."

So the riders jumped in the water and the pirates got into the boat. While they were swimming Render kept shocking Will and Levi with his lightning so Will and Levi told Baladon and Clesseath to throw Render out of the water. After about twenty minutes of swimming and rowing the crew was on the island. It was mostly sand and palm forests, but it was an island none the less. They decided to leave the dragons on the beach (because the forest was too thick and take the oars into the woods to use to get fruit off high trees.

You might be wondering why Render, Will, and Levi don't just fly up to get the fruit. The reason is because a long time ago Will tried to fly with magic, so he jumped off the side of the ship and flew. He was so happy he could fly that he did a barrel roll and flew into the water by mistake! So to keep each other from looking ridiculous they never tried it again.

Once they got into the forest they found bananas, coconuts, and mangos. They also (to Bonnie and Will's delight) found a chocolate tree! And to everyone’s delight, a coffee tree and vanilla beans! They also found and killed with magic, four wild hogs. Render and Levi do not eat meat though because they are vegetarians (although Ryan and Reece eat meat all the time).

Once they were back on the boat Render and Levi had fruit salad while the rest had smoked pork. The also had chocolate pudding and vanilla lattes for desert. Over dinner they talked about what to do the next day on which they agreed they'd go fishing and swimming. Then they went to bed and slept like they hadn't slept in three days.

Ch. 5: The Storm

Yeah, I know. It's been a while. A LONG while, but I needed ideas. And now I have one. So here we go.

It started out as a nice, sunny day. The three riders woke still wondering about that weird thing that happened last week (with the pirates and the cave...). "What day is it?" said Will. "July 9." said Levi. "Day not date, elfin calender." said Render (he was a little angry to be up so early). As they walked on deck they decided to go flying.

They were about ninety yards high when they saw a small ship on the water (where else would a ship be?) They came closer and asked permission to board. The captain let them on because he needed help to decide what to do with some stowaways he found. "I found them in the hold this morning," the farsighted captain said as he pointed to two pirates tie to the base of the mast. Will instantly recognised them as the pirates from the cave. He told Render and Levi and they agreed to spring the pirates.

Clesseath dove under the boat and opened a porthole to make the captain think the ship was leaking. Just as soon as he went below after some time joking that they would let Ancalagon burn through the ropes they all untied the ropes with magic, climbed on dragons, and flew away. By the time the captain got back he had lost his glasses and had no idea what happened.

Once on board the Golden Dawn the riders asked why the pirates had stayed in Alagasia. "We didn't!" said the taller pirate who's name they learned was Bonnie Spinner. She was red with anger because she took their question as an accusation. "And if you think I wanted to come back to this loopy place you're more out of your mind than...well I don't know, but I wanted to go home and stay home, but we ended up in a new land inhabited by Apes then we found another door and went trough it!" "What she is trying to say," interrupted the shorter pirate named Charity Kidd, "Is that it wasn't our fault. We just found another door and figured we'd be better off anywhere than there." "And it just so happened that your door took you back here!" said Will as he finished her sentence. They all went to bed at about midnight after laughing and joking about the jailbreak and the funny old captain.

When they woke the next day they thought it was still night because the sky was black and the air was very cool. Then Render trust his hands in the air and a black, transparent dome was cast over them a split second before lightning struck it. Render's body shook and the cross on the metal band on his right arm glowed with blue. Render then lowered the shield and went below deck with the pirate as Will and Levi mounted their dragons. Render would have gone as well, but he was exhausted after absorbing some of the linghtning's energy.

Will And Levi put magical shields around themselves while Baladon and Clesseath breathed fire to keep the storm cloud away from them. Will and Levi had to fly to the eye of the storm (because it was a hurricane) and push, as hard as they could, with magic at the storm to rip it apart and separate it.

Below deck you could fell the walls and doors vibrating as the thunder rolled across the sky. Render had found that he could to some extent control lightning. The energy that he absorbed had merged with his elven powers and given his a new ability. He had just about as good of an aim with it as the first time Will shot Bonnie's pistol. He did master it to some level though.

Back in the sky Levi and Will had also been hit by lightning, but they didn't know what it would do to them. They were almost to the eye of the storm when Levi was knocked off his dragon by a flying piece of wood. Clesseath caught him and they went to the eye. Once in the eye they gathered all their strength and they pushed as hard as hey could. Their dragons also gave some magical energy and the storm was separated.

Once back on the ship, Will and Levi went strait to bed while Render stayed up practicing his new skill. When everyone woke up the next morning Render taught Will and Levi how to use their lightning ability. They also tried to teach Bonnie and Charity how to hear people's thoughts, but that didn't work so they taught them how to protect their thoughts insted. That night they went to sleep hoping to find some land to explore the next day and get some meat. Hardtack, as much as Will liked it, becomes boring after a week or two.

Ch. 4: The Chasm (part 2)

While they were swimming to the cave, Will was running short on breath and was swimming slower. His elfin friends Render, and Levi noticed that he was falling behind so Levi used a spell to give him the ability to breathe under water. Once they made it to the cave they found (much to the relief of one very tired Render) that it was not filled with water and you could actually sit and rest (because there were no jagged rocks on the floor).

While they were resting Will saw something out of the corner of his eye. What he saw was a pirate, with a long, curved sword in her hand. “Be very quiet and follow me,” said Will by speaking in Render and Levi’s minds.

They slowly approached the pirate when a shorter pirate (also a girl) jumped on top of Levi! Will used a spell to bind the pirates feet and hands while Render was sword-fighting the other pirate. “Oh come on!” said Will. “You can finish this easy enough!” said Levi. “It’s not as easy as you might think,” said Render as he flung the pirate to the ground and bound her hands and feet with magic.


“Now,” said Render, “how did you two filthy buccaneers get to Alagasia?” “How did we get to Who’s-a-whatia?” replied the taller pirate. “This world or country or whatever it is!” said Will very angrily. “We were in a small cave off the coast of an uncharted island when we found ourselves in this cave.” said the shorter pirate. “They must be mad,” thought Render to his brother Leviticus. But then Leviticus said, “They must have come through a Chasm between worlds.”

Then Levi went into explaining what a chasm was. It is a small hole in the balance of dimensions that allows people or objects to pass between worlds. Chasms may stay open for any amount of time, which is why it was important for the pirates to get back to their world as soon as possible. The pirates were released from their magic bonds and they went back through the chasm into their world.

Ch. 4: The Chasm

One day aboard the Golden Dawn, Will with Render and Render’s brother Leviticus were sailing to a cave off the shore of their camp (for they did not like to live in a house of any sort). Will had noticed the cave when he and Baladon were flying to patrol the area for pirates.

“Let’s go swimming when we get there!” said Levi (which they called him because “Leviticus” is a long name to be saying over and over again). Will and Render agreed that as soon as they got there they would swim.

When they got to the island they lowered the anchor and swam to the shore. Most people would say they were insane to swim a mile to the shore, but they enjoyed it and besides, they did promise Levi they would go swimming.

While they were swimming Render saw a strange dark hole which, with the help of his elf eyes, he could tell was a cave. Will on the other hand was skeptical about this because he thought it could just be a rock. “Will,” said Render, “When have I ever led you wrong?” “You told me to put whipped cream on Levi’s face while he was asleep and he hit me over the head with his walking stick,” replied Will “Yes, but that was a joke, so it doesn’t count.”

So Will, Render, and Levi all swam down to the cave.

To be continued…

Ch. 3: The Edge of the World

It was any normal day aboard the cruise ship Masquerade on the clear day it was to set sail. The crew prepared for the voyage the day before and were lounging on deck. "What's that?" said the cook. "Just a rain cloud." said the bowman. "But it's so small." replied the cook. Then lightning shot out of the cloud and hit the water next to the boat. "Get out there!" said a voice in Will's mind. Then a man cloaked in black burst from the hold, "Get off the ship or suffer the wrath Sparrow and Moonarrow!" "You and what army said the cook to the cloaked figure (he would've been scarred had he not been so lazy). "This army!" said the man in black as hundreds of blue glowing figures appeared on deck and Baladon burst from the water, shooting fire all over the deck. "Run for your lives!" shouted the crew as they swam into the bay, "They must be the army of evil!"





"Well done my friend." said another hooded man standing next to Will. "Then were off?" replied Will. "Yes, if you have the map." "Of coarse! Do you think I'd leave it, Render?" "No, I guess not." "Then let's go! Wait, the name. We should change it." "But to what?" said Render. "How about the Golden Dawn?" So they used magic to carve the name in red on the side of the ship. Then they made a field around the ship so that the ship would move without stop to their destination.



After being at sea for quite some time (about an hour to be specific) Render asked where they were going, "To the edge of the world!" said Will. Render broke out laughing. "The edge of the world! Come on Will, be realistic! No one has ever made it to the edge of the world and come back!" That's because they didn't have magic!" said Will. "What makes you think we'll even get there?" Because we already are." said Will.



There was a huge waterfall where the water dumped off the edge into the nothingness below. And there were huge birds all in the sky the size of a dragon and larger. "This is amazing!" said Render. "I couldn't have imagined it in a hundred years! I wish we could stay here, but we can't. How do we get back?" "By going over the edge of coarse!" said Will to the terrified Render. "Are you insane!?" said Render, ready to contain Will in a magical box. "You will telleport us as soon as we scare ourselves silly!" "Ok, but if we die I'll..." You'll do what you'll be dead!" interrupted Will. "Your right." said Render. They sailed the ship to the edge and went over the side. Then a flash of light and they were back at the docks with the ship at the marina. "But, why..you" then Render said "I would just hate to lose such a pretty ship. so they ended the day with a trip to dinner and went back to their campsite to rest for another day of excitement.

Ch. 2: The Guardian

Unaware to Will, a guardian had been placed over him. This man was no man, but an elf, an elf of great age and knowledge. This elves name is Render, the rest of his name is known only by those he most trusts, and the few he trusts do not trust many. The elf was given the name "Moonarrow" as his arrows would glow like the moon when fired with magic. Render Moonarrow was also a Dragon Rider and had a Black dragon named Ancalagon. Ancalagon was a male dragon (as was Baladon) and had a black body and red wings. Render was always aware of Will's presence, but Will was never aware of his.

One day on on of his many outings, Will, who was now older and in the employ of the Varden (a secret organization who's mission was to defeat King Galbatorix) was at a dock loading smuggled goods into a ship headed for the Beor Mountains when an explosion blew the dock to splinters. Will called his dragon with his mind at the sight of hundreds of soldiers rushing at him and jumped on it's back when all of the sudden a cloaked figure jumped on the back of a black dragon. Not caring who he was, Will kept on fighting the enemies coming from all sides. When the soldiers were gone he turned to the cloaked figure and attacked him with fire and swords and magic. Then he heard a voice in his mind that said, "I am Render Monnarrow. I am here to help and protect you." "Ok, but you will have to explain...a lot." said Will in Render's mind.

As Render started to explain he said, "When you first came to the Council of Elves I was instructed to watch over you. I have been to ever one of your lessons, and every tine you stepped outside your door, I followed. You were never aware of these things because I blinded your mind to me. I am sorry, but I thought you would stop training if you found out. I now realize the secrecy is no longer a necessity so I would like to be your friend. May I have this privilege?" "Yes my friend. You will always be welcome."

And that is the story of how Will Robin met Render Moonarrow.

Ch. 1: The Awakening

This is the story of part of my life in Alagaesia.

The night was calm as Will , a young farm boy was hunting in the forests bordering Leona Lake (a large lake near Helgrind, the lair of the Ra'zak) he saw a large flying beast in the sky. While thinking it was a large game bird (as it matched the appearance of some in the moon light) he shot an arrow at it's side. Being the marksman he was it pierced the side of the beast and sent him hurtling to the ground. The creature shot up fifteen feet from the ground, but dropped the package it was carrying. Will went to investigate and the thing he found was unlike anything he had ever seen.

The mysterious cargo was bout one and a half feet long and a half foot wide. It was blue in color and would glow when Will would touch it. He took it home to have it examined by his father who knew much about those types of things. His father said it was a large gem and to sell it as it would bring no other profit. Will planned to sell it the next day so he took it to his room and looked at it for a long time. Then, it broke open with a blinding flash of light and he herd a voice say, "I have chosen you.", and then he blacked out.







When Will awoke he found that the egg(as it was not a stone) had hatched into a tiny, blue dragon as long as his forearm. The dragon was sitting there staring at him and so he reached out to touch it. When he touched it a burst of light shot out and a shock sent Will flying against the wall. When he came to he had silver covering the palm of his right hand. He tried to wash off the silver, but it would not come off.







Over the next week Will used all the resources available to find out about his new "pet", but it was of no avail. Then he went to the forests of Du Welenvarden where the elves live. He went to the Council of Elves and Riders to ask what the creature was. They said it was a dragon and it had chosen him to be its rider. These things perplexed him and he was sent to rider school where they said "All will be explained in time." And in time this was done. Will learned to fly his dragon (for Baladon as he named him had become very large) and to handle a sword with such ease his only challenge were the elves (for their speed made them almost invisible. In this time he also learned Magic and the Ancient Language. He was so skilled in flying that they gave him the name "Robin" as he was compared with birds in flight.







Chapter 2 will come in time...
