Note: I don't own Eragon Or any of it's characters. (Unfortunately) BUT! I do own most of the characters in THIS particular story.
He looked around. He couldn't see anyone, until he heard the same beautiful voice right behind him, making him jump. He gripped the stick tighter, ready to swing. He then turned slowly, and swung. "Malthinae!" Said the voice, it was, in fact, a female's voice.
Zack found himself unable to move, stuck in an absurd position, because he was about to swing the stick at the person behind him. Of course, he had only turned part of the way, so he still could not see who or what was binding him. This scared him more than anything. "What is your name?" The voice asked him.
He found he finally was able to move. He quickly turned around to see who or what was talking to him. They were gone. "I asked you what your name was," Said the voice, giggling a little.
"I… It's Zack. Wh-who are you? Where are you? Where am I? Why are you-"He was cut off mid-sentence.
"My name," She hesitated a little "Is Garnielle" (A/N Pronounced Gar-nee-Ell. I didn't come up with this name myself. A fan helped me. If you would like to suggest more Elvin names, that would help greatly. I will use the names if I like them.)
"Garnielle, that's a very beautiful name… But where are we?" He asked, calming down a little.
"We," She said stepping out in front of him "Are in the forests of Du weldenvarden"
"Du weldy-what," Zack asked, clearly confused. "Isn't that somewhere near India?"
Garnielle Laughed. "Did you hit your head?"
He was about to comment when he finally saw her.
She was about his height. Her shoulder length hair was black, Her eyes blue. She was far more beautiful than any of the girls he had ever seen. She was carrying a sword. This scared him. It was his main concern. Until he saw her ears, that is.
"Your ears, they're.. They're pointy!" He said, automatically feeling his own, as if scared they had somehow changed.
"Yes, they are, have you never seen an elf before?" She asked, allowing some anger to leak into her voice.
"I.. Well no, not really." He said, his eyes now concentrating on her sword.
She noticed he was staring at her sword nervously. She also noticed the strange way he was dressed "You're… Not from around here, are you?" She deduced finally.
"Obviously not! Now could you please put that away? It's making me nervous!" He said, not bothering to hide the slight hysteria in his voice. He had too much happen to him to have some elf lady chop him up.
This made her laugh again "Sorry, but you can never be too careful." She said to him, as she put her sword away.
"Well, I'm glad you find the situation humorous!" Zack said, nearly yelling. He was very scared, and it showed.
Garnielle gave him an odd look. "Sorry.. The situation?"
"Yes, the situation! " Zack said to her, his voice rising steadily.
"Perhaps you should sit down, and explain what has happened." Garnielle said, walking over to a log and motioning for him to join her. Zack stared at her for a few minutes, as if trying to decide what to do. Finally, he sat down.
"Well, I was bored, so I started to read a book," He stopped, trying to remember the name. "Eragon, I think it was called. And then this blue flame sort of… Erupted, I think. Around me. I was stuck for a while, afraid to move, then it disappeared, And I found myself here."
He's crazy. He must be. What he said couldn't be possible, could it? And how'd he know about Eragon? He could be a spy for Galbatorix. No, Galbatorix's Spies would be a lot cleverer, not to mention older.
"Perhaps… You should come with me." Garnielle said finally
"Where to, exactly?" He asked nervously. He hardly knew her, so he had no idea of her intentions. But he knew he would probably be able to escape her if she tried anything. She looked to be around his age, give or take a few years.
"My home, in Ellesmera." She said, and she simply walked off, clearly expecting him to follow. He looked around for a second, then ran off after her.
"This is madness!" He muttered, under his breath.
(A/N) Sorry it took me so incredibly long to update. I Hope you find that it was worth the wait, though. Err... Read and review, please. Also, Don't forget to send in names!)
