Will post tomorrow, promise!!

Sorry, 'm supposed to be doing homework but here's a short post:

We walked down the path towards town, (walking because a bunch of teens on dragons would be too conspicuous) and as we approached Tavensten I reached instintively to my necklace; and the Dragon's Eye pendant. I closed my eyes a moment, trying not to cry as I remembered when my mother had given it to me. I opened my eyes again to see that I had fallen behind the group, and I hurried to catch up.

"There it is!" Elyana said as the skyline of the village came into view.

I'm not dead. Don’t worry.

Adela-

       Xandela grew a
lot in the time I spent in the clearing. She was able to carry me by the time
Kerra and

Elyana left
for Tavasten. *Shudder* Elyana taught me how to ride Xandela, and I taught her
some Draconian in return.                                                                                                                   

"Soooo... why are you guys here? You seemed a bit disconcerted
when I first came."

 "Some stupid
dragon slayer tricked us. He tricked me. He pretended to be our friend, but he betrayed
us.”  Elyana answered.

“He somehow knew I was in trouble.”

“He probably has the sixth-sense.” I told Kerra. “I have it a
little too,” among other things. I
was born with a (strange) connection with dragons. Words of advice. Never get
me in a rage. I’ll 1) let out a stream of Draconian swear words, 2) yell A LOT,
3) let’s just say, in extreme cases, I’ll try to kill you.

----

Elyana was giving me some tips.                                                                                                                                                                   “If
you want a smooth flight, you need to relax. Don’t tense up, or your dragon will
too.”                                                             “Okay.
I’ll try.” As I said the word for up
in Draconian, I felt my stomach drop as we rose into the air. I will never forget
that feeling as we sored through clouds and above trees. We got praise when we
landed. “Wow! I`ve never seen anyone take to their dragon so quickly before!
That was amazing!” Elyana said.  “Impressive,”
commented Kerra.  

That’s it for now!                                   

This is just kind of a filler, because I'm bored and terrible at plot development.

Elyana—

“Take care of yourselves!” called Draco as Kerra and I mounted our dragons.
“Same to you!” I called back. “Adela, don’t forget what I showed you!” With a final wave, I tapped Xell’s side with my foot, feeling the familiar drop of my stomach as we rose into the air. Beside us, Kerra and Sunflame did the same. The dragons rocketed skyward, the humans clinging on until we evened out over the trees, slowly ascending until we were high above the forest. I pushed the hair out of my face when the wind tugged it from my headband.
“How long should it take to get to Tavesten?” I shouted over the wind.
“Probably about two hours,” yelled Kerra. “It’s not that far!”
“Maybe we should slow down a little,” I called.
“Sure,” responded Kerra. She said something to Sunflame, who slowed her flight.
“Slower,” I told Xell. The wind stopped rushing so loudly in my ears as we slowed our pace. I adjusted myself to a more comfortable position and settled in for a long flight.
----

After about two hours and three stops along the way, Sunflame and Xell landed softly just outside the city gates. Kerra and I dismounted.
“You did great,” I told Xell, stroking the top of his head. He nuzzled me with his nose. (A/N: Do dragons have noses??)
“All right, let’s see if we can’t find out where Endey’s gone,” said Kerra. “The second-most successful slayer in the world can’t go completely unnoticed.”
“Let’s hope not,” I said. We walked up to the gates and were about to go through, but two guards stopped us.
“No dragons allowed!” said one of them.
“But Xell and Sunflame are tame,” I protested, gesturing to the two dragons.
“You’ll have to put a leash on them or leave them out here,” said the other.
“A leash!” cried Kerra in indignation. Xell and Sunflame snorted and growled, appalled. “I don’t remember that rule!”
“It’s new. The king’s got a lot of new rules to keep people safe from dragons.” Safe from dragons! They should have been making rules to keep dragons safe from people!
“They’re even sending knights into the forest to kill them off,” commented the other guard. Kerra and I were both glaring daggers.
“I know that,” I snapped angrily.
“Look, let’s just make some leashes out of rope so we can get Sunflame and Xell in,” said Kerra. “I know they won’t like it, but it’s the only way.” Xell and Sunflame both backed away and growled.
“Oh, come on!” I cried. “It’s not that bad!”

Dun dun dun... I can just hear Xell protesting now. Getting a leash on two feisty dragons has got to be harder than slaying them. Anyway, I was thinking that maybe we should actually make up some Draconian words to use. Not a lot, but just a few so we can insult people properly. :) And of course, stop saying "a Draconian word" every time we use one.

Well... if we're using some Latin, I will go to Google Translate and make up some insults. After my math homework. This should be fun!

Aleakim--

I wipe the blood off my dagger as I approach town. Suddenly I can see farther than any human should be able to. But I am not a normal human. I am a Draceai. My grandfather was a dragon. Don't expect me to be able to tell you all the details of his and my grandmother's relationship, I don't even know how they met. But my father was half dragon, and I am a fourth. That means that I can see as far as a dragon, hear almost as good as dragons can, and I have fangs.

@SC: Awesome, I'll try to come up with some too. After I'm done with my homework... :(

@Aleakim: Cool twist to your character! But if she's part dragon, then why is she a slayer?

@Elyana: Aha, I was waiting for someone to ask that! :D *evil grin* here's your answer............................

Aleakim--

Seeing everything from a dragon's point of view, feeling the heightened emotions of anger and indignity, made me realize, a few years ago, how dangerous they can be. When angered, they could level entire forests. Not to mention that most breathe fire. The destruction of a town by a dragon's hand would bring anger directed not only at the dragons, but also the remaining Draceai that haven't been killed already. And I won't be hunted down for the actions of a wronged beast.

So a while back, when I was 15, I ran away from my Aunt, whom I was living with. I made my living as a trader, then a catcher, then finally a slayer. Already I have killed almost 40 dragons, in the less than 2 years I have been a dragon slayer.

~~~~~~~~

Using my Draceai sight, I look down on the town. I see many people, fickle people, who could praise a man today yet condemn him to death by sunrise tomorrow. I shudder to think of what would happen if they knew my heritage. Without a second glance, I turn my back on the village and make my way back up the mountain, to my isolated hut where I spend my few peaceful days.

~~~~~~~~

The end, sorry it's kind of short. 

I meant 14 for the time my charrie ran away, not 15. Sorry. :)
