Uh, it's from Eragon RP. And it must have taken you a long time to add those codes, poor you Flame.
Btw, Spiricia and David are Whitediamond, Winter and Amy are me and Lucia and Avalon are Flame.
And here is the current new posts:

The wind current blew tirelessly eastward, hurling Spiricia and her Rider on to the Beor Mountains. Neither forgot the threat from behind nor the prospect of Spiricia tiring ahead. They just tried to concentrate on balancing and not letting the wind current toss them around. Spiricia growled now and then with effort and David focused all his energy onto giving her strength and clinging to the saddle. He didn't dare glance behind him for fear of seeing a giant bulk in pursuit or losing his balance. If David fell, Spiricia would have to drop out of the current and they would lose precious time. The dragon and Rider were surely on the chase once again. The Riders of Galbatorix were skilled magicians.
David straightened in the saddle and patted Spiricia's neck. She touched his mind suddenly. Little one, the wind current is beginning to have twists. I need you to help me steer.[/i] Her question caught him completely off guard and he sat dumbly in the saddle for a few moments before he felt her nudge his thoughts again. He shook his head, slowly and looked at his dragon.
How?[/i] Spiricia looked around briefly to show the amusement in her eyes.
David, surely by now you should know that Riders may see through their dragon's eyes. If I let you, you can see what I see.[/i] Of course David had heard of this, but he was still shocked. Spiricia's patience was helpful now as he just sat there. What if, while his mind was in Spiricia's, his body lost it's balance and fell off? That wouldn't be good. But it would be worse if Spiricia lost control of her flight in this speedy current. If that happened, he would fall off anyways. Spiricia continued flying, waiting for his answer. David sighed. He had no other choice. It was either take the risk of having his body fall or be torn along by a savage wind current.
Alright then, Spiricia. What do I do? Spiricia stopped flapping her wings for a second to reply, Just sit still, little one. Do not resist against me or else the concentration will be lost. What....?[/i] David's question hit Spiricia's mind which she had guarded and he fell silent. He sat quietly and patiently on her back and let his mind relax. After a few moments, he began to feel a slight tug on his consciousness. David's first instinct was to recoil, but Spiricia's reminder echoed in his head and he let the little pull continue. He felt as if all his thoughts were being tugged from his brain. Then, his vision went dark. David panicked for a few seconds, casting about trying to find light or vision. Then, everything opened up to him again. But the world was an assortment of greens and blues. There was no other colour. Baffled, David tried to twist his head, but realized that it was only his thoughts that he had control over. His head was still on his body and his body was swaying precariously on Spiricia's back behind him.
All you ever see of the world is green and blue, dear Spiricia?[/i] Spiricia sighed.
I see a beauty in green and blue, my Rider. And I do not mind about the colour. At least I may see.[/i] David was silenced by this and he just let his thoughts sit. Then, he reClanmateed the reason Spiricia had allowed him in her head. Steering.
Right, he thought.
I have to help Spiricia spot twists and turns. Right.Spiricia angled her body so that David's body was secure on her back before picking up speed and hurtling toward the first turn which she dodged easily.
Turn,[/i] warned David and a millisecond later, Spiricia rounded the next corner.
Spiricia, I wonder where that blue dragon is...[/i] Spiricia's voice was grim as she replied,
I do not know, little one. But they have not given up. I think that this battle had just begun.[/i][/size]

Winter carrying Amy soared through the sky, the sun shining bright on her sky blue scales. The large dragon was flying her fastest, zooming through the sky. They had to reach the end of the current before the Varden Rider did or else the battle would never start and they would never get a chance to defeat them. Amy's impatience and anxiety to reach the current before their enemies was strong on Winter and the blue dragon quickened her pace, pumping her wings until everything around them was a blur of blue and green and gold. Amy's concentration was on getting to the end of the wind current, but Winter's was suddenly fixed on something else. There is a dragon behind us,[/i] she informed her Rider. Amy was confused. How could the Rider and his dragon have gotten behind them? She balanced herself carefully before turning to look. She realized suddenly that the dragon was not the one they were chasing but a different one. And judging by it's colour, it wasn't exactly a welcoming sight. Winter's irritation scraped Amy's conscious, matching her own.
They're following us,[/i] she realized, voicing it to Winter. Winter snorted in frustration.
Dang it all! Now we are well met.[/i] Amy clenched the fist that wasn't holding the saddle. This battle may be a little more interesting than she thought. The other dragon in the distance, judging by it's size, was still younger than Winter. But could her dragon take on two enemy Riders at once? Winter continued on, quickening even more until Amy's head was even thrown back by the force of the wind. Winter was determined. Determined to reach her destination and get well ahead of the threat from behind.[/size]
(This is not my best post, sorry Whitediamond and Flame.)

Avalon was getting fearful. By now, he had figured out the blue dragon's plan. She was going to attack Spiricia from the end of the current and was planning the element of surprise. We must stop them![/i] cried Lucia, as she soared after the two dragons.
Spiricia will never survive the battle, let alone a surprise attack.[/i] Avalon nodded and Lucia tried to pick up speed even though her wings were too small to catch too much wind and burst them along. Sometimes, Avalon blessed Lucia's talent for agility and sometimes he wished she were more speedy. He had to admit that most Riders were jealous of Spiricia because her multi talents and kind, gentle nature. Also, her stature was perfect for airborne battle. Despite this gift, Spiricia was not ready to face an Imperial dragon.
Lucia angled her wings in the blue dragon's direction and flapped harder. As she flew, Avalon made a silent decision with himself. They would have to attack the sky blue dragon. Now, he had recognized who it was, he was sure he could distract them long enough to let Spiricia attack. He had fought Amy and Winter once before and both had flown away, their strengths equally matched. But now, he would have to put himself forward and not back out. He couldn't afford to lose or tie with her again. Lucia sensed his thoughts and touched her mind gently to his to show him she was there and supporting him.
But they weren't seeming to be getting any closer to the sky blue dragon. The dragon was hurtling along with the obvious gift for speed and Lucia couldn't keep up. She was slowly getting more weary and Avalon wasn't sure how much longer they could last. But Lucia was determined and she kept up her pace, struggling to stay in view with the older dragon. Finally, Avalon abandoned his plan.
We cannot win like this, Lucia. You and I know a shortcut to the end of the current. We cannot catch up to them and distract them so we are going to have to fight alongside out brethren.[/i] Lucia halted.
Very well. But we must make haste. This dragon will reach the end of the current around the same time as us.[/i]
All the more reason to hurry![/i] Lucia changed directions swiftly and gracefully and began on her new course as the sun rose higher into the sky and Spiricia and David drew closer to their destination.[/size]

Turn, Spiricia! Now![/i]
The bright silver dragon ducked her head back and flailed around the corner almost unseating David's body. Each turn had grown more narrow and brisk. The fear of his body slipping from the saddle was strong in David now and he recoiled quickly as the Spiricia's head snapped up again. She looked slightly shaken, but the steely determination refused to leave her eyes.
We are almost there. I know it.[/i] David didn't reply. His breath was still caught in his throat- wait, he didn't have a throat at the moment.... Suddenly, he cried out again, but too late. Spiricia saw the turn, but her reflexes were too slow. They crashed right through the wind current's wall and tumbled out into broad daylight.
David screamed suddenly as his mind was wrenched out of Spiricia's. Spiricia tried in vain to cling to his thoughts, but he slipped from her like wet soap. His mind returned to his body. But his body had been unbalanced in the tumbled and was plummeting to the earth below.
Spiricia!!!![/i] shrieked David as he fell, his head aimed for the ground.
David! Little one![/i] cried the dragon in dismay. She pointed her muzzle to the ground and plunged toward her falling Rider. She didn't care that she too may crash and be injured or killed. She was only concerned and frightened for David. She was furious at herself for distracting him and furious for not being more careful. Now her Rider was plunging closer to his death.
David was horrified as he saw his beloved dragon go into a dive and plummet toward him. "No!!! Spiricia stop!" he screamed as she dove toward him. But either she wasn't listening to him, or she couldn't hear him because she continued her dive. David looked at the ground, his eyes watering from the buffeting winds. It was slowly but surely coming closer and closer. And Spiricia was still diving toward him. The wind whipped his face and battered his body until he was writhing in the air. His mouth was ripped open and was already dry an sticky. His arms and legs had goosebumps on them, but he didn't notice. David's cloak had been torn off, almost strangling him in the process. Meanwhile, Spiricia continued her relentless dive.
Suddenly, talons snatched him up and his fall was broken so suddenly that he was winded and a terrible pain surged up his chest. But David was still falling, though slower now. The claws still gripped him firmly. Finally, he felt larger claws wrap around him and he was lifted gently. He looked through his blurry vision just in time to see an eagle soar away on a draft of wind. Spiricia must have called and communicated with it. Soon, he was back on the silver dragon's back and they were slowly ascending back into the sky again. A feeling of intense relief and love came off both of them and it was not until they were safely back in the clouds that they spoke.
I thought I'd lost you,[/i] panted Spiricia, once again steadying herself carefully.
Yeah, so did I,[/i] gasped David, clutching the saddle so tightly his knuckles turned white.
But there is some good news,[/i] reported Spiricia, the fear fading out of her tone.
The end of the wind current is just up ahead. And the current is more gentle from here on. Want to try again?[/i] David patted Spiricia gratefully.
Nah, let's just fly by ourselves to the end. You can manage, I imagine.[/i] Spiricia gave him a hint of amusement and began pumping the juice into her wings to get herself going.
I knew you never doubted me. David grinned and laughed a shaky laugh for the first time in a while. Spiricia angled her wings south and the two continued on their way, the fear of death momentarily behind them.[/size]
(Whoa, that was an exhilarating post, lol.)

Ooc: Wow, that took my breath away, lol.
Bic: Amy gripped the saddle and looked warily behind her. The Rider and the red dragon were gone. The Varden pair which had been following them moments before and disappeared without a trace. Confused, Amy looked in both directions to see if they had gone out to the side to ambush them. But there was no life or any human or dragon for miles around. Amy pulled at Winter's conscious, trying to arouse her attention, but the sky blue dragon didn't pay so much as an inkling to her Rider's urging. Instead, she growled in irritation and Amy pulled back as if stung. Winter was focused on pursuing the Rider and dragon and getting to the end of the wind current before they. She wasn't concerned at the moment of the Rider and dragon that had been behind them.
Amy sat back in the saddle, not sure whether to annoyed or agitated. Winter continued flying, her wingbeats the only sound despite the slight hum of dim sounds from the forest far below. Finally, Winter spoke, Amy, I can't be distracted. Either we defeat one which is weak still or attempt to defeat one way out of our league. I must continue on.[/i] Amy turned her head and refused to look at Winter's apologetic eyes. Instead, she said,
Don't turn around. Look in front of you.[/i] Winter sighed and turned back to her flight. To her, it didn't really matter what the other Rider and dragon did as long as they didn't interfere with Winter and Amy's plan. As far as she was concerned, they had lost interest in the event and were simply flying to patrol elsewhere. So Winter and Amy proceeded in silence.[/size]
Ooc: It's shorter than usual, but I didn't have much to say. On my next post, they should catch up to them. What do you say, Whitediamond?

David and Spiricia, after being battered by the raging wind current and David's frightening tumble, were speeding along on their way to the end of the current. The wind current billowed gently beside them, but they paid no notice. After the fright of losing one another, they had not dared to go back to it. Spiricia's thumping wingbeats were the only sound other than the churning of the wind current as it swept along alongside. Neither spoke, for both were concentrating hard, thinking of the prospect of battle. The two had not yet come to understand each other fully like their teachers, Glaedr and Oromis. Instead, the struggled to overcome their differences and be true to their soul deep bond that linked them together forever.
This proved to be hard sometimes, but now, all they felt for each other was love. The fright of nearly losing David was etched into Spiricia's memory like words imprinted on a tombstone. As long as she lived, whenever she fought with her Rider, she would reClanmate the fright of nearly losing him to nature. Nearly, but not quite. David, however would feel forever grateful to the mental communication that he had been gifted with. Spiricia had used it to communicate with the eagle that had helped save David's life. The two were lost in thought and nearly missed the end of the wind current as they sped through the skies.
Whoa!!!![/i] cried David and Spiricia thrust out her claws in order to slow herself down. The silver female dragon immediately banked and soared back to the ending of their journey. Spiricia hovered just above the trees; the ending of the trees. Spiricia grinned to herself and twisted round to look gleefully at David, but her Rider was looking behind them, his eyes wide with horror. Spiricia craned her neck and squinted into the distance to see what had upset her Rider. The sky was thick with a haze, partly caused by the dew evaporating and Spiricia had to use her dragon senses to fully see. A tiny speck of black was slowly darting through the mist, seeming to be aimed straight at Spiricia. Frightened suddenly, she realized the true threat of the other Rider and dragon. All this time, they really had been following relentlessly behind.
Spiricia......[/i] whispered David, but Spiricia was already narrowing her eyes in thought.
I know, little one. I've seen them. I have to decide what to do.[/i]
David clenched his fists and closed his eyes. The Imperial dragon would not give up so easily, this he knew. But David only had experience fighting lowly soldiers like himself but never legendary Dragon Riders. This would be a battle between life and death and the Imperial pair would not stop until either was accomplished. This frightened David even more. Spiricia sent him comforting emotions, but David pushed them away and focused on the coming dragon. Fear coursed through him so violently, that he was pale. Spiricia didn't know what was going on with her Rider and suddenly went into a shallow dive to shake him from his thoughts.
David felt the sudden shake so suddenly, that he almost twisted in the saddle, but other than that, it did the trick. Spiricia pulled herself upright and looked at him, dead seriousness in her eyes.
David, little one. I know this is frightening for you, but you mustn't panic. You were once a regular soldier, but are you that anymore? You have always told me never to fear the enemy and I believed your judgement, because I sensed that you had faced them. Now, would you fear the evil-hearted? Besides, my Rider, you have me now. We are one. One mind, one emotion. One.[/i] David looked at Spiricia and saw a wise light in her eyes and thought for the first time how old she must be. Spiricia went on,
Little one, dragons do not choose their Riders because they are elves or powerful or high-ranking or even because they are of a certain gender. No, dragon will wait forever if need be for their life companion to come along and pat their shell. You would not imagine the different feelings that we feel every time someone touches our egg. Do you know how many people touched my egg? I can tell you this: millions. Do you think that my hatching was just happenstance? Little one, we were destined for one another since the beginning of time. Now we are one. As one, we will defeat the evil-hearted. As one, we will proceed to new dawns and to victory! Now little one, are you ready to fight?! Have you shaken from your conscious that foolish fear? Little one, we shall fight as one. Always and forever.[/i]
By the time Spiricia was done, David's eyes were strangely burning and he was blinking rather spontaneously. Spiricia blinked at him, and her eyes held wisdom passed down over generations. Finally, David spoke in a rather choked and quiet voice,
Spiricia, I never, ever doubted you. You hatched for me as a dragon and you are mine. MINE. You hear me? We will always be each other and we will always be there for each other. We are ONE. And if you had even began to think I had left you back there, I did not. I'll always be here as long as you are. Now, Spiricia I am ready. We shall fight this together and we shall fight any other battle like this one together. For truly today, I have become a Dragon Rider, not just a Rider. For what if a Rider without it's dragon? What were elves and dragons before being bound? Now, when you are ready we shall fight.[/i]
Spiricia smiled at David and said two words. Two words that would always stick with David forever. Two words that signaled her ready for battle.
Little one.[/i] David's eyes cleared and the fog seemed to lift a degree. Then, as one, the two dove toward the forest floor. David didn't ask what Spiricia was doing, he knew already. The dragon dove to the ground like a bright, silver blur and then braked and pulled into a blast into the sky. They were going so fast, David had to grip the saddle with both hands and bow his head against the wind. Then, Spiricia turned to face her opponents, her teeth bared snarling. She waited for them to near before continuing her before battle taunts.[/size]
Ooc//Sure, Star. It's about time anyways.
(Done!)
I'm awed.[/b][/u]
