The sequel! haha hope you guys like this as much as you liked Eldest! Please Review! This is a rewrite chapter, just a few minor changes I wanted to make.

Kaida sat on the edge of Eldor lake, searching for stones on the ground. Once she had a handful of them she started to skip them across the lake.

Kaida was extremely beautiful. She had long golden blonde hair and deep blue eyes. She was quite thin for a 15 year old girl, but she still seemed flawless. One of the reasons for her unique beauty was that she was half and half. Half human, half elf.

Her father had been an ordinary trader who had gotten lost in the Hadarc Desert. He was close to death when Kaida's mother found him. She quickly carried him to a doctor where he was healed and thanked her greatly.

Kaida's mother was a brave warrior, but had a gentle heart. The two quickly fell in love. They were married and awhile later gave birth to a beautiful baby girl: Kaida.

They had lived in Ceris their entire lives until the whole town was nearly burned down by an army of Urgals. Nearly half of the people in the town were killed, including both of Kaida's parents. At the young age of five Kaida had become an orphan.

She needed a guairdian, somebody to take her in and care for her, but no one stepped up. Kaida and her parents had always been shunned. Ceris had been an all elven city unitl Kaida's father came, and when they got married and had Kaida, they were looked down on. Half and half's were not well accepted. People in Ceris believed that if a child's mother was an elf, their father should be an elf too.

But, thankfully, an elder by the name of Bella stepped up and housed Kaida. Bella was the town healer, and the moment she layed eyes on Kadia, she knew she was special. And Bella was right. Kaida was very, very special.

Back in Ellesmera...

Roran woke up and tried to sit up immediatly but fell back down, too weak to move much. But just by looking up at the ceiling he knew he was no longer in the prison. But where was he?

His thoughts were soon interupted when somebody walked into the room. Soon the person was standing over Roran, looking into his eyes.

"Good, your awake."

The person standing over Roran was Eragon. Roran was incredebly relieved that he was there, but also incredebly confused.

"What are you doing here? Where am I? Where'd you go?" Questions erupted from Roran's mouth. Eragon gave him a weak smile and then told the whole story. Why he left Carvahall, why Garrow died, why Roran was taken captive by the Empire, and why he was here in Ellesmera, city of elves.

Once he was done telling his story, about an hour later, Roran was left mouth open wide. He couldn't believe it. Eragon, his cousin Eragon, who had no parents or extrodinary powers, just a simple farm boy, was the new Rider? And he was living with the elves? And had a dragon!

It was almost too much to believe, but he had to. The circumstances were to "official" for his cousin to be kidding, and it did explain a lot of things that had happend. After severel minutes of silence, he finally spoke.

"So...when you were at the castle you got another egg?" Eragon nodded yes. "Then what happend to it?"

"We did the same thing as when I got my egg. We sent it away. No where in particular. We just hope that fate guides it to a true Rider."

Kaida was now just sitting on the sandy sides of Eldor lake, starring into the dark, deep water. Suddenly something caught her eye. In the dirt was a small, red rock. She cautiously picked it up and studied it. It was quite large , but small enough to fit into her pocket. It had a special sparkle to it and, for some reason, Kaida felt a need to keep it. It was very odd looking for a rock. Very glassy and smooth.

She slipped the rock into her pocket and stood up, brushing the sand off of her clothes. As she looked up into the sky she figured she'd better be heading home. The sun would start to set soon and Bella would freak out if she came home too late.

She groaned at the thought of going home. Bella was a very sweet lady, but that is what made her so unbearable. She had always been unusually protective of Kaida. Always making sure that she was safe. After awhile it got very annoying.

So Kaida started the walk home, taking out the rock to look at on her way there. She turned the rock over in her hand. There was something very strangly unique about the pebble, but Kaida didn't know what. Maybe it was the way that it gleamed, or it's odd color. But whatever the reason, Kaida kept it. Maybe she could make a necklace out of it later. She had always been quite crafty doing that sort of thing. And then she could sell it when the traders came.

Soon her thoughts lead to her parents. She dearly missed them, and had every day sense the terrible fire. Their town still hadn't fully recovered. Most houses had a singed look to them, and people constintly mourned the loss of loved ones. Kaida had never been one to linger on the fact that her parents were dead, but did decided to take a trip to the cemetary before she went home.

Half an hour after leaving the lake, Kaida was standing in a small cemetary. She wandered to the back where she found her parents graves. She just sat and reflected for a few minutes, wishing that they were still here. Finally she pulled herself up and started to head home.

After fifteen minutes of weaving through the small village of Ceris she was knocking on the door of her quiant home. Bella quickly opend the door and ushered Kaida inside.

"My dear, what took so long? I didn't think you'd be home in time for dinner." Sure enough, a large, delicious looking dinner sat ontop of the wooden table.

"I'm sorry, I just went down to the lake for a little bit," replied Kaida, deciding not to mention her trip to the graveyard. Everytime she talked about her dead parents Bella thought that she was emotionally damaged and became very weepy and apologetic.

Bella and Kaida took their seats at the table and began to eat. Everything that Bella had made was delicious, as always. Very soon, Kaida's plate was empty and her belly was full.

"Well, I'm going to bed now," said Kaida as she left the table. Bella nodded in acknoledgment and Kaida walked upstairs to her bedroom.

Her room was small. Inside was just a bed, some drawers to hold her clothes, and a few books. Kaida had always loved to read. After dressing into her nightgown, Kaida crawled into bed with a book and read until she fell asleep, book still in hand.

She was having a very peaceful sleep, dreaming of swimming in the lake with Beau, a friend down the street when she sat straight up in bed. The pebble, which she had sat ontop of her dresser had let out a loud, distinguished squeak.

What'd you think? Hope it was good, so please review! Oh, and I need a new name for the story, so if you have any ideas, please tell!
