Awake little one, shouted Saphira in Eragon's mind, you are having one of your nightmares again.

Thank you Saphira, said Eragon, as he wearily woke up, pouring all his gratitude in their mental link. He felt her humming, for Eragon could not hear her, since, she was in the dragon house.

The nightmares had started when he had left Alagaseia for good. It kept him awake through most nights and when he finally went into his waking dreams it always ended in him being woken by Saphira.

The last time he had some good sleep was nearly a century ago, when Garrow was still alive and Saphira had not hatched. So long ago, Eragon thought. As he lay awake in his bed Eragon knew sleep would not come again at least for a week, so he pulled his tunic on him and went outside his house to breathe in fresh air.

As he stepped outside his house Eragon looked at the sky and saw the millions of tiny stars and he felt his breath taken away. The sight never seized to amaze him.

Gazing at the stars Eragon remembered the last day with his family and friends. How after Arya and Finren had departed, Eragon and Saphira had grieved. Then he remembered how as he, Blodhgarm and the other elves had travelled for a week searching for land with no luck. Then on the eight day Glaedr's eldunari had sensed a huge land mass, nearly as big as Vroengard itself, but unlike the former Dragon Island this one was surrounded by many small islands too.

It had been a perfect place for dragons, humans, elves, dwarfs, and urgals alike. There had even been Snalgli on the main islands, and some small ones to which Saphira had said Finally some good meat and all the elves, Eragon included had laughed.

When they had set settled a bit in the islands they had named it Du Shur'tugal ey or "The islands of dragon riders". Then buildings with the ground floor as high as a three or four story house and with enough space for two dragons were erected. The main island contained the training ground, the study hall, a dining hall and a ceremonial building for special occasions. The other islands contained housings for riders, a guest housing, a meditation chamber, and of course a dragon hold in which all dragons living on Du Shur'tugal ey were able to sleep. There was also a special building for eldunaris that are still affected by Galbatorix's rule.

Then they set up wards all around the island that would bind unauthorized access to enter the island. These wards could hold even the most powerful of dragons. After this a huge wall was made that extended all around the main island and was as high as the mountains in Spine itself.

Eragon remembered how when it was time to choose housing areas he and Saphira had insisted on staying on one of the most smallest and westward island. It even had a family of four Snalgli that Eragon had said were not to be eaten by Saphira. Though all the elves had argued that it was too dangerous, they soon learned that if a dragon and the rider had make up their minds then it is impossible to dissuade them.

Eragon shook his head as he snapped out from the past and looked once more at the sky. He was a little surprised to see the morning star Aiedale and of how much it reminded him of Arya. Ah! The longing he felt to see the elf queen, not in the mirror as he talks to her every few weeks, but in front of him

Snap out little one! Exclaimed Spahira sensing where Eragon's train of thoughts was going, you know you should ask her, it would definitely help you.

You know as well as I do Saphira that I cannot ask her for she is Queen of Elves and must lead her kingdom-

Yes, yes I know and how they are still in need of her and blah blah blah. Eragon smiled at this and thought how many times he had told her this and yet each time she asked her anew.

As the sun rose Eragon thought today will be a busy day won't it be Saphira.
That it will be, for today the younglings face the graduation test, correct.

Yes Saphira and before that we do have that meeting with Arya, Nasauda's daughter Selena, who had been named after Murtagh's and Eragon's mother, King Orik, and maybe Murtagh and Ismira if they manage to come. Then maybe some time with Arya.

And Finren, Saphiran chimed in, and Eragon agreed.
