Hi everyone! this is only my second story (my first sucked anyways) so I hope its good. Takes place right after Inheritance...and yeah. In case your wondering, I also was disappointed with the ending of Inheritance. While I thought of changing the ending, I decided to continue from that ending to write a story and achieve that ending I wanted :D So I hope you all enjoy and happy reading!

Farewell, Eragon Shadeslayer. Those three words rang through Eragon's mind once again, as it was the last three words Arya had spoken to him. Yet it was these three words that were yearning for him to go back to Alagaesia. However, with the need to protect the dragon eggs and Eldunari, he could not afford to. Even if he did go back to find her, she would not approve of such actions.

Do not weep, little one. Even though we are leaving, it does not mean we are breaking off all contact with her. I'm sure we will be able to find an opportunity to speak with her. Saphira spoke, always the one to comfort him. It has been two days since they left Alagaesia, yet little had occurred since they left. The river still continued on through the empty, barren lands with little sign of life. Occasionally, there had been a fox or deer by the river, but no sign of an actual surviving animal in the area.

You're right. There is always hope that something will change, for the better. Eragon looked on past the railing, hoping to see a little change in the landscape that they had been on. However, to his dismay, barren land was all he saw.

"Shadeslayer, Brightscales." Eragon turned to see the elf that talking to him, Blodhgarm. "From what we have detected in the wind and water, I suspect that we will be entering an ocean or sea soon, perhaps tomorrow morning. Therefore, we advise that you go back and rest, while we stand on guard for you."

Eragon grunted. It was only midday and he was already being told to go sleep. Nevertheless, what Blodhgarm said was right. "Very well. I will go get something to eat first, then retire to my room."

Pleased, Blodhgarm bowed as Eragon and Saphira left the deck. After he had gotten some fruit and bread from the pantry, he left to his room, with Saphira just outside. He lay on his bed wondering what he would do once he did find a place to stay. Like before, he thought the best plan of action was to first build a suitable home, originally small and then slowly expanding it. After that, if any eggs have hatched, Saphira would start to train the dragon, not to be Rider's dragon, but to be a wild dragon. Soon, he would hope that one of the eggs in Alagaesia would have hatched and that the new Rider and dragon would come join him. It was a process with few steps, but it would be a long process. He only wished that he could help raise these eggs with Arya.

Saphira, feeling the change of emotion in his mind, then spoke, Sleep, it is not good to fill your thoughts and emotions with such sadness. Also, I do not want to be reminded.

He realized she was talking about Firnen, Arya's green dragon. Agreeing with Saphira, he decided to clear his thoughts and sleep, preparing for tomorrow.
