Draco's face lightened up "Good! See? your good at the crossbow!",Edward looked sheepishly around and blushed. "So," Eragon broke in. "We need to be parred up, By personality of course." He added.

               I nodded and studied all of them "Festus and Kiba,"I said finally.  "Cool," Kiba said grinning at Festus and Festus grinning back. "Draco and Edward," I also added. Edward nodded to Draco and Draco nodded back. "And Eragon and Me,"I said finally. "Very good young knight!" Eragon said,I thought I herd a tone of pride in his voice. "So,are we going or what?" Edward asked impatiently,"Alright,young one,get on my back."  Draco boomed. He nodded and quickly hopped in between his wings,where there were no spikes. Kiba and I did the same,while our animals shape shifted into smaller ones and hopped on our shoulders. The dragons lifted off and soared into the sky.

             It was dark by the time we reached Animore, a small village north of Bulliore. "We should stop for the night,"I told Eragon.  Eragon nodded and motioned for the others to follow as he dived toward the forest. He landed in a clearing, Kiba and I suggested we go hunting while Edward tried to make the fire.  I took out my sword and Kiba strapped a quiver over his back,loaded it with arrows, and held his bow. We set off through the woods and I herd rustling in the bushes. "Ready your bow,"I whispered and pointed at the bush. He nodded,took a bow from his quiver and readied his bow. Then an Orange dog jumped out,he had black eyes,was wearing a tattered tunic,ripped leather shorts,and had a weasel sitting on his shoulder. He had Orange fur and a cream under belly,"Hey!"He said cheerfully it seemed he was ignoring Kiba's threatening bow.  "I wouldn't think a well dressed fellow like your self would be way out here eh?"He asked and nudged me with his elbow. "Well, yeah ,about that...."I said trailing off. Then the stranger looked at Kiba and held up his hands in surrender . "I didn't do it I swear!" He said jokingly.

       I motioned Kiba to lower his bow. I snorted,"Well,Come on Kiba we bette-" I started but he cut me off "I'll show you where you can get some food,and I'll lead you to it.",He volunteered. "Ok, sure." I said shrugging "What's the harm in that?" the stranger quickly motioned Travis and Kiba to follow and they quickly walked through the trees. Kiba and I followed warily,while the stranger moved as quick as a fox. "Hey,stranger," Kiba blurted out "What's your name?". "Toby," He replied without looking at us.

                                                               CHAPTER THREE

                                                                  We Meet More Dragons!

             "Hey Toby!" I said as he started to walk away after Kiba killed a deer. He turned around "Yeah?". "Why don't you stick around?" Kiba grunted in an effort to pull the plump doe. "I wish I could,but I have to get back to my girlfriend," Toby said sheepishly and he put his hands behind his head. Kiba dropped the doe and smiled "Ooooh! Toby's got a girlfriend Toby's got a girlfriend!" Kiba chanted. "Oh shut up," Toby muttered but grinned, "Why don't you bring her with us? We could bring her back to our camp as long as she's not scared of dragons," I said. "Wait," Toby said "You guys have Dragons too?". "Too?" Kiba and I said at the same time, "Yeah, We have dragons, mine's Blazewind and Luna's is Goldfire." Toby replied proudly. "Wait, Luna?" Kiba asked. "My girlfriend." Toby replied quickly.

          "Oooh." Kiba said in realization, "So,show us the camp." I said smiling cheerfully. Toby led the way to a small clearing and I saw a girl tending the fire while two dragons were sleeping side-by-side. "Luna?" Toby asked. The girl looked up and instantly smiled "There you are! Where were you?" Luna said her tone changing from happy to serious. "Uhhh, I was helping them find food," Toby said in a small voice. Luna stood up and nodded "Well I was worried." She told him. "I know," Toby said,then her gaze snapped over to Kiba and I,we both flinched a little. "So what are your names?" she asked sweetly, "I'm Kiba!" Kiba said proudly pounding his free hand on his chest. "I'm Travis." I added.

            "Nice to meet you Travis and Kiba," She replied nodding "So what brings you to the outskirts of Animore?" Luna asked curiously. I cleared my throat "Well, actually w-" I started  but Kiba blurted out "We're here on a quest!". "You idiot!" I hissed "You don't just blurt out stuff like that!". Kiba lowered his ears and frowned "So-rry." Kiba grumbled and stepped back twiddling with his thumbs. "Like my dimwit of a brother said,yes we are out here on a quest." I said "Cool!" Toby said looking at us excitedly "Can we come?" He asked immediatly. "Well,the dragons said that the chosen three should kill the dark lord!" Kiba said from behind us "I don't think our dragons would like it if we took them with us with out permission.". I nodded "He does have a point,"I mumbled,then I had an idea. "Come with us," I instructed "And wake your dragons,bring them too.". "We don't have to listen to you." Toby said "You want to come or not?" I snapped,then Toby fell silent and nodded.

              Toby beckoned Luna over to help him wake the dragons. "What?" The fiery Red one grumbled,opening one sleepy eye to look at Toby. "We gotta go with those knights over there." Toby said pointing to us. I smiled he called us knights. Like our father used to call us,before he was stolen. I'll get you King Randolf if it's the last thing I do,I'll kill you.     

         I glanced at my sword, This will be the blade that will kill the dark lord. I thought and glanced at Toby and Luna who had successfully woken the slumbering Dragons. One was big and fiery Red,and the other was a bit smaller but had a Goldenish color. "We're ready!" Toby announced,then I noticed the weasel on toby's shoulder again,and Luna had a squirrel on her shoulder. "I'm guessing they are their animal partners." Kiba whispered to me. I nodded,"Follow us." I ordered,not waiting for an answer I headed toward our camp,I herd Kiba grunt in effort when he was trying to keep up with me and lug the heavy Doe at the same time.

    When we got to camp I saw Edward poking the fire with a stick, his Golden fur glowing in the fire light. I jumped out "Boo!"I yelled. "Ahhh!" he yelped and fell over,Kiba chuckled "You stupid!" Kiba laughed "Your a scardy cat!" Leo hissed "Hey,I'm a cat!" He meowed. "Sorry," Kiba said sheepishly, Toby stared in awe at our dragons. "Which one is your dragon partner?" Toby whispered in my ear,"The Gold one with Bronze colored spikes on his head,his name is Eregon." I said. "Whoa,cool!" Toby replied. Luna stood beside him,while their dragons padded up to ours. "Hello."  Blazewind said,Festus smiled "Hello!" he said cheerfully,Draco snorted in reply,and Eragon nodded to them "Greetings fellow dragons." He greeted. "Wait,I think I recognize you from some where." Goldfire piped up.

   Eragon studied them carefully,"Hmm,I was in the council of Dragons," He said carefully "Maybe you remember me from that when you were just little hatchlings." Blazewind shrugged "Maybe." He agreed,then Toby and Luna walked over to Edward "Who are you?" Toby asked curiously "You don't look much like Travis and Kiba, are you their body guard?" Toby added. "No,"Edward said sarcastically "I'm their magical unicorn." Toby tilted his head. "But,your not a unicorn." He pointed out,clearly not getting Edward's sarcasm. Edward shook his head and sighed,then looked around at Kiba "Good! You got food! I never thought I'd say this,but your a very good hunter brother!" he congratulated. "It was nothing." Kiba said blushing "One arrow to
