In response to Naerys Targaryen: Ugh I thought that I had gotten rid of all the typos. The spelling of dimension with two 'mm's was unintentional (for some reason, up until either the day that I posted the first chapter or maybe even the day before that, I thought that it was spelled with two 'mm's so that's why I spelled it that way).

Now on with the story!

Chapter 2

"Whoa there, Lily, before you go fighting in a war, we should inform Nasuada about your arrival." Angela said as soon as I declared that.

I thought about it for a minute and then I realized she was right. These people were in a war, and if they thought I was their enemy, I was toast. Literally, Saphira would proabably burn me to ashes as soon as I started to use my powers on the enemy.

"That's probably a good idea." I agreed with her.

"I'll take you to her." Angela offered before adding. "Just as soon as I can figure out where Solembum went off to."

"But he doesn't like me!" I complained.

"Last time you two met, you soaked him; I don't blame him for not liking you." Angela said rolling her eyes.

"You've done worse things." I pointed out. "Remember the 'cheep cheep' incident with that Werecat... uh who did you do that to again?"

"We'll go over that later." Angela said dismissively before changing the subject. "Well I doubt that he's anywhere near here, what with you being here and all, so we might as well go see Nasuada now."

"Before we do that, tell me how tall has she grown?" I asked. "Last time I saw her, she was only a little bit above my waist."

Angela broke into a grin as she said.

"She's quite a bit taller than you now, Lily, in fact, I would be surprised if you reached her shoulders."

"Oh no!" I said in mock despair. "Stupid time differences!"

"Stop complaining." Angela said shaking her head at me. "You should see the differences in time between us and the Harry Potter dimension. The difference is so large that I was there for two minutes and when I got back, years had past in this dimension!"

I laughed at that and then we both stood up and left the tent.

We passed by several tents as we made our way to Nasuada's huge one. Twelve guards stood at the entrance but they didn't cause us too much trouble. One just went into to inform Nasuada of us while we waited outside. As soon as we were granted entrance into the tent, we walked in.

I recognized Nasuada right away. Sure, she might have been a fully grown woman and sure, she might have been taller than me. But it's hard to forget her dark skin and eyes.

"Lady Nasuada." Angela and I both bowed before I looked Nasuada straight in the eye.

"Angela, I was not expecting you." Nasuada said to her before turning to me and asking. "And who is this?"

I stepped forward and said.

"It is very nice to meet you once again, Nasuada, pardon me for our unexpected visit but I wished to acknowledge you of my presence."

"And who exactly are you?" Nasuada asked again before adding. "And why are you here?"

"My name is Lily, I have come to aid you in this war." I replied.

"But you are a mere child!" She exclaimed.

"I am not a mere child, Nasuada, in fact, I remember when you were no more than eight years of age." I said in partial amusement.

"You couldn't have possibly known me then." Nasuada said looking a little confused. "You look like you haven't even reached sixteen years of age."

"And yet, I knew your father, and Brom, and even Oromis." I said smiling.

Nasuada straightened in shock. She examined me for a moment and then she asked.

"Why do you wish to join our army and what can you offer?"

"I am glad you asked that, Lady Nasuada." I said as my smile got even bigger. "I wish to join your army because of the lives that have been lost so far. As for what I can offer, let's just say that I am more than adequate when sword-fighting and you'll find that I am quite adapt at using magic."

Nasuada gaped at me, probably in shock. I just smiled. I loved how I could leave people shocked or surprised. It was kind of fun.

"As much as I would like to disagree with what she is saying, she's correct on both her sword-fighting capability and her magic capability." Angela added onto what I had said. "I've known her long enough to duel her on both aspects."

Nasuada's head swiveled between Angela and myself for a moment and then she took a deep breath and said to Angela.

"I would like Eragon to test out her abilities. If she's as good as you say, then I will have no problem with her joining the army. If not, then I will send her home."

"Do not worry. I'm pretty sure that I am as good as she said." I said still smiling. I was glad that Nasuada was going to get Eragon to test me out. Then maybe I could at least talk to Glaedr again...
