Okay disclaimer time. I, xblackxtearsxofxlovexandxhatex, do not own anything but Alea, Alex, Oriana, Theron, and their native world Esen and everything to do with it. Don't try to sue me because you all obviously know that Eragon belongs to Christopher Paolini. Okay so read and review because the reviews are the only thing that encourages me to write. That's about it.

She dreamed of a battle where many were killed or wounded and then of a smaller one between two on a plateau. The blue rider faced a blood red dragon and his rider. The red rider stood facing the blue. He removed his helmet and Alea's dream self gasped it was the man who the blue rider had traveled to the rebels with, the one who'd been killed by the monsters. The blue rider was just as surprised as she. The red rider took the blue riders sword and left. The blue rider just sat there for a moment then he mounted the blue dragon and flew back to where the fighting had already ended. There was a man who seemed to know the blue rider. The look on his face when he saw the rider was one of disbelief the man yelled at the blue rider but seemed sad. Alea watched as the rider entered a tent and spoke with a woman with dark skin, she'd seen the woman before, the blue rider had pledged allegiance to her.

The dream ended as she was shaken awake once again by Alec. She glared at him for waking her up, "I was dreaming of him," she said "The blue rider."

Alec was slightly hurt that she'd rather dream of this blue rider than see what was so important that he woke her up.

"You've been sleeping for four days," he said, "I was getting worried about you," he said. He paused before beginning again, "There's been sighting of land," he told her, "It's just an island but maybe the people on it know how far we are away from our destination." Alea sat up and realized that they'd moved her into a cabin below deck. She jumped up and started for the hallway that led to the deck above but her legs felt like jelly and she couldn't steady herself. She started to fall but Alec put an arm around her waist and helped her up the stairs and to the railing where she could better see the island.

"Lets fly" she said excitedly to Alec.

Alec looked at her surprised then agreed.

Ten minutes later, after Alea and Alec had put the saddles on Theron and Oriana they were soaring through the sky. Alec let out a loud whoop.

Flying was the best feeling in the world, Alea let her merge with Theron she could feel the wind under his wings and see what he saw but stayed enough in her own mind to see through her own eyes as well, like being in two places at once.

Theron did a dive and headed straight for the water, "Hold your breath and close your eyes little one," Alea leaned forward wrapping her arms around his great neck and did as told and closing her eyes taking a deep breath just before they hit the water. She was pulled the rest of the way into Theron's mind and was amazed as he looked around there was so much life in the ocean. A pod of dolphins swam around Theron unafraid of the dragon. But she soon felt a tight feeling in her chest. Theron felt it too and surfaced,

"If only you could hold your breath longer," he lamented. They rejoined Alec and Oriana in the sky and landed on the island together. A crowd of people who'd seen them had gathered on the beach. They looked surprised, scared and nervous Alea got off of Therons back and someone came forward he had a small trunk. He held it out to her and she looked at him wondering what this was all about.

"Take it its all we have left, please don't let your dragons eat us!" he said.

"What?" She asked surprised, "Why would our dragons eat you?" Alec came to stand beside her equally curious as to what was going on.

"Weren't you sent by Galbatorix to finish destroying the island?" he asked suspiciously.

Alea shuddered at the name, without knowing she could feel the evil of the man behind it. "Who is Galbatorix?" She asked the man.

A woman came next to the man she looked at Alea guardedly and said, "Who are you?" She asked suspiciously.

"I am Alea of Esen and this is…" she was about to introduce Alec but was interrupted, "Everyone knows who he is," she said as if stating the obvious.

Alea looked at Alec surprised Alec looked at her with equal surprise written on his face, "They do?" he asked.

"Don't be so modest, of course everyone knows who you are, you're Eragon Shadeslayer the one the king wants dead," the woman said adamantly.

"You're mistaken," Alea said, "His name is Alec," The people in the crowd started to whisper, "We came from across the sea to help the riders in their war against the evil king."

"Don't you even know who your helping or fighting against?" A man asked.

"Not by name" she said slightly embarrassed.

The woman looked at her, "You're all wet, you must be freezing," she said, "Come with me we'll get to the bottom of this."

The woman led her and Alec to a house the two dragons followed. She led them into a town hall type building. The doors were only just big enough for the dragons to fit through. She built up the fire in the center of the room and motioned Alea and Alec to sit down.

"So tell me why you are here," she said expectantly.

Alea explained that she knew that the rebel forces needed help and that she and Alec had traveled across the ocean to do just that.

The woman in turn told her that Galbatorix was the king, she also explained that the reason that they'd thought that Alec was this Eragon was because Eragon was the only Dragon rider working against the king and since they weren't attacking them that he must be the rebel rider. That was also why they'd been so curious as to who she was because all the known riders were male. She explained that the last of the good riders had been wiped out many, many years ago. And that there was only one dragon egg left. She was curious as to where they'd gotten their eggs.

Alec reluctantly told the woman that in their country on your 15th birthday you were required to visit the capital and hatching grounds where the years eggs were kept. Wild dragons gave the eggs to the keeper of the hatching grounds to be set out for the potential riders.

The woman was amazed to hear that there were many riders in their country but when he said that the war here was not common knowledge there she said that she understood and that if she'd lived over there she would not want to worry about another countries war.

After all of this Alea had realized that they didn't know the woman's name, "I have just realized that you know our names but we don't know yours."

"Oh how rude of me," she said, "my name is Sarie."

A man walked in the hall and said, "The riders ship is here," and left.

"One more question if I may" Alec said.

Sarie nodded for him to continue.

"How many days sail is it from here to the main land?" He asked.

"Less than a half a days sail you can see the land on the other side of the island" Sarie replied.

Alea nodded "Thank you," she said and walked out the door with her companions following her.

Alea talked to the Capitan and he agreed to sail back to Esen from here. He said that he'd be waiting for her message to reach him to come back for her. She thanked him and she on Theron, and Alec on Oriana flew towards the other side of the island where they could see the main land of the country.

They camped on the island that night.

"You should rest Theron," Alea said to the silver dragon.

"You too Oriana," Alec agreed

Theron laughed and said to Oriana, "I think they are trying to tell us what to do Oriana."

"I think that you're right dear Theron," Oriana said also laughing, "We'd better do as were told lest the great and mighty riders get angry with us."

Alea stifled a laugh at the same time Alec covered one with a cough.

The two dragons laughed and Alea couldn't hold it in any more and burst out laughing. Alec also unable to control the urge to laugh any longer started laughing. Alea tried to stop laughing but Theron poked her in the side with his snout destroying any control she had left.

After their laughter died down they all settled down to sleep on the warm sand of the beach. Alea unable to sleep stared at the shore a while longer before finally closing her eyes. And once again she dreamed…

It was evening; the familiar man and the dark skinned woman were the only ones in the dream other than the rider himself… Eragon… Alea knew they were discussing something of a serious nature by the set of their faces. It was odd seeing the movements their lips made and not being able to hear the words but Alea had become an able lip reader in the course of the ten months that she had been dreaming… They were discussing the necessity of Eragon returning to the elves home, the name of which she could not figure out…

Come on people review please! I have had no reviews and I am starting to get discouraged... You guys are the only things keeping me writing and if you don't review then I have no reason to write it any more.
