Okay!
Welcome one and all to this fic!
In case you didn't know, this is the sequel to Dreams of Fate!
But it's all right if you are an new reader, feel free to skip the first part!
I admit that is was sukkish/sueish!
The only reason the title is listed the way it is is because
that's the way it sounded best. It has nothing to do with the story.
Don't kill me for the cliffhanger!
I wrote it to make you all continue!

I looked around the yard in astonishment. After all the months I had spent in Alagaesia, the training, battles, war, dreams, and drama had been for nothing? Mani had sant me back here?

It had started with my dreams each night, for six months. I would visit Vrangr, my own dragon whose egg I had found in the Hadarac desert, and just pass the time with her. But I eventually stopped returning to my own world each day, and instead had stayes in Alagaesia and followed the events from there. Up until right after leaving the dwarves and flying through the mountains towards the elves.

When I had felt the presence of Mani, it had called me so strongly I forgot to know the risks. Vrangr, my dragon, and Saphira and Eragon had all followed.

Eragon had been the only one to follow me into the inner cave, where the white crystal formations illuminated the Dream Well. And behind it, her power sealed away in the white crystal, was Mani, who had revealed herself as the last of the Grey Folk.

She had told me about why I had my power. My dreams were always prophetic, or either gave me a glimpse of the family I had left behind in the other world - the place I was now. For whatever reason, I also had fully functional silver-and-black wings, if that wasn't enough.

And Mani had also told me what I had to do. Go through the well, and meet what was on the other side. Which had turned out to be this. My muggy, hot, South Florida home. Two straight palm trees grew out of thick green grass. My cream-and-brown house stood in front, one of many homes in my neighborhood.

It was hard to beleive that I had really gome home.

A thump sounded behind me, and I turned to see...

Eragon? He had followed me through the well. He looked around, amazed at the sight before him. So it couldn't mean that I was stuck...

You have till sundown to do what you must... A voice sounded in my head. Mani. So, she still could sense us, even here. I looked to the sky, the sun seemed directly overhead. So we only had a few hours. At least we weren't here for good.

"What is this place?" Eragon asked, sounding utterly bewildered.

I smiled. There was going to be a lot to explain to him later. "This is where I came from...And why, exactly, did you follow me?"

"I only wanted to help you."

"Well, there's no sense in arguing about it now..." I then realized something. It was broad daylight. And here were Eragon and I, out in the open. Two random people turning up, wearing mideval clothes, couldn't be an easy thing to explain. "Just stay quiet and follow me, kay? I know there's a lot of strange stuff here, but I'll try to explain as we go."

He nodded.

"Right." Considering the time, if it was a weekday, only my mom would be coming home any time soon. All the cars were gone, so nobody was home right now. "Come on, we need to get inside."

I went over to the side of the house, Eragon following, and opened the gate. My family had always left the back door unlocked, so that would be the best chance of getting in.

And of course, it was open. Which made things a bit easier, because I really didn't feel like going through the window.

The feeling of being back after so long away wasn't really any different from coming back after just a week away. This place never changed, so I didn't miss it.

"All right, let me tell you a few things before we go any farther. First, people in this age dress very differently, so that's why we had to get inside, and they don't carry weapons. Next, the technology here is a lot more advanced than back in Alagaesia. And last, we only have untill sundown to do what we have to."

"And who is it that we have to find?" Eragon asked.

"I have no idea." Which was true. "But before we go looking, we have to change. I don't want to draw unessicary attention if it can be avoided."

I walked over to my older brother's room and opened the door. Jay's things were strewn about the room, dirty laundry, manga, and his weapon collection (can we say obsession?) was neatly stacked in the corner. I pulled a couple things from his closet and threw them at Eragon. "Here. Change."

Leaving him to do that, I walked down the hallway to my old room. The books were all in the shelves, my posters still hung, and it looked, from what I could remember, exactly the same.

Almost everything in the closet was black, a habit I had adopted in middle school. Yay for the emo kid.

A minute later, I walked back out, dressed in mildly gothic clothing. I had found my favorite earring - a dragon that wrapped all the way around the ear, so that was a plus.

Eragon had figured out how to turn the tv on, and seemed fascinated by it. I laughed. "That's just for entertainment. People-"

The phone started ringing.

"What is -" Eragon started to ask.

"A means of communication." I wondered if I should answer. Probably not, but...

I did anyway. "Hello?"

"Hello, this is Freedom Middle School, and we have here in the front office the student Rhys Rider." Yes. Ironic for a Dragon Rider to have the last name Rider. But what had my little sister gotten herself into? She was never one to make trouble. "She participated in unessicary violence today, by the method of hitting another student multiple times with a large hardcover book. We have called home because she ahs been suspended from school."

That's it! The idea suddenly popped into my head. My brother and sister! Rhys and Jay are the people Mani sent us here to find! "Well, congratulate her for me, will you? And tell her that her sister is on the way."

"You are not-"

"Hell yeah I am." Nobody had known where I'd gone months ago, there hadn't been any chance for an explanation.

I hung up the phone, smiling.

"Eragon? I know what to do."

And chapter one is over!
