AUTHOR'S NOTE: This has been a long time in coming. During our high school years, myself and Abbyforth wrote a fanfiction in the Inheritance Cycle fandom. Since then we believe our writing has been much improved, so we are very excited to share the reworked version with all of you! We hope you enjoy, please read and review.

I personally would like to thank my coauthor and editor Abbyforth for her valiant effort in dealing with my, er, spelling mistakes.

Prologue

The cool star studded night was filled with a subtle tension for it was the last day. Eragon and Arya stood waiting for Brom and Oromis' orders to go and hopefully, enjoy the last of the time they would stay in Du Weldenvarden. Trees whispered in the slight breeze like thoughts of the rumors that also whispered that Nasuada was preparing her forces for battle. Rumors most likely, but still both were anxious to see the truth for themselves. The two greatly revered wise men appeared out of the house Oromis made his home.

"We have decided to send you both on one last test. This is made to see if you can truly work as a team with both Arya and Saphira in unfamiliar terrain and culture. You might also find a weapon or recruits to help our cause. This people have magic within, even though they do not know this. You have two months to fulfill this mission and come back or all is lost, I fear." Oromis said to Eragon in a mild tone, although the statement was a shock for both.

"Where is this realm and what great people live there that are more qualified than our own?" asked Eragon his brows knitted in frustration.

"Not where exactly but when, this is a separate dimension from our world and in some ways more advanced in others they are less so. We are sending you to the 21st century to a land called America. You will be losing some of your sight and power to be more inconspicuous." Brom spoke his hands tucked into his robe.

"Both of you will have physical transformations, for in their world you are things of story and myth. Many a magical and mystical being has wandered into their realm unprotected, and they were slaughtered, or hidden away, and few rarely have lived on into this age of the race you will be sent to. Be wary for Galbatorix may know of such portals and guess at what is afoot. May the stars watch over you, you leave immediately." Protests leapt from both students lips but the training had taught them to trust their masters for they knew what they were doing. Saphira's eyes glowed with excitement which Eragon didn't expect.

'This is going to be quite the adventure I can feel it in my bones little one.'

A bright whirl of color opened up before them as Oromis and Brom stood to either side, beckoning the trio through. Apprehension rolled down Arya's back but she stepped forward anyway. Oromis handed her an envelope and a purse that felt weighed down with gold.

"You must be wise my students, watch for Galbatorix's hand and step lightly in this new place. May the stars watch and guide you." The three murmured the correct response, Eragon marveling at how naturally the elvish slipped off his tongue. They walked forward and into the oval of swirling colors, knowing not what they would find on the other side.
