Eragon and Saphira were still feeling bitter, Saphira thought about how she was going to raise the dragon hatchlings.
What are you thinking about…? Eragon question Saphira
Nothing that you should concern yourself with and its nothing of importance. She assured him.
It`s concerning you, so it is of some importance. What's troubling you?
It`s the problem that I've only had a mate for a short time and I've had to give him up all ready…it saddens me to think about it.
I know how you feel, I`ve been waiting for Arya to feel the same for me as I do for her ever since I laid eyes on her and I've lost her already. And I'm supposedly never to return to Alagaësia again.
That doesn't mean Arya wont visit us and it doesn't mean Fírnen won`t either,
Your right! Ok there are many eggs to hatch, and you can't hatch them all at once, so how many can you raise at a time?
Not sure but maybe twelve dragon hatchlings every month as they are most vulnerable when they are days old, and after a few weeks they can usually start hunting for themselves.
I know that they will be big enough to go hunting with you properly, but then they will have go out on their own and I don't like the idea, would they know enough to catch their own food large enough to fill them up? And what if they get hurt? Would they be able to sort themselves out? Would you be able to teach them enough?
You`d be surprised what I could teach a dragon hatchling in a few weeks.
Eragon chuckled at the fact that no matter what they were doing or what they were talking about, she never ceased to amaze him.
Oh no! Saphira exclaimed
What is it? Eragon asked.
A storms brewing. Saphira growled.
Are we close to vroengard?
About an hour away…
Will we make it before the storm? because we can camp there for the night.
I hope so…..
The winds picked up after that. It started buffeting her about. There were many up drafts and down drafts, she had to beat her wings twice as hard to keep up with the same speed as she was only moments ago. Saphira growled with frustration at the fact that the wind picked up. Eragon had something that he needed to tell Saphira but he could wait to later to tell her as it was something that.
It`s going to get rough now Saphira, veer to the left slightly, you will be out of the worst part of the storm. Glaedr said to Saphira before severing the link between their minds.
The storm grew stronger after that, lightning flashed all around them. None of the bolts hit them but it still made Eragon fret that they were going to be hit. The blue light of electricity flashed so close to Eragon that he leaned away with shock. Saphira made a low sound in her throat with was the dragon`s equivalent of laughter.
Oh little one. Saphira chortled again. Those blue flashy things won`t hurt you, and if they do…. Saphira growled. Now it was Eragon`s turn to laugh.
Saphira, you will have to circle around vroengard or you will be blown into the ocean and you will never reach the surface again Glaedr called to her again. Saphira was caught unexpectedly by an up draft and had to do an instant dive to get back to her original hight.
saphira, nose dive to the left here and so you can go around vroengard. Glaedr said quickly before she got to close to the middle of the storm, Saphira dived off to the left and found that the wind was a lot lighter here and could fly more easily.
Saphira had an easier flight after the first five minutes, the wind died down and she was not through about as much. suddenly a west wind blew saphira off course.
saphira dont fight it, let it take you were it wants you to go or you will just be flying in the same place as it is to srong for you. Glaedr said, reaching her mind so it echoed through hers and Eragons minds.
