Chapter 2

Four days later Arya and I were sitting on the deck of the ship silently watching Saphira and Fírnen as they flew together close by. I looked

away from the flashing of Saphira's scales and looked at Arya talking to Saphira in the peace of my mind so that Arya could not hear what I

was asking Saphira "Saphira, do think that part of the draw that you felt to Fírnen was partly because of my attraction to Arya and Arya's

secret attraction to me?" Saphira laughed as she said "Little one do you remember what Oromis said about when two riders become mates

then their dragons usually become mates as well, Fírnen and I mated because we both knew that you and Arya would eventually and

because we were attracted to each other even with the age difference." I did not say anything and let my emotions speak for me tell her that

I was thankful for that. I found out later that Arya had asked Fírnen the same question a while before I had but they did not know the

answer so I explained to Arya and through her Fírnen what Oromis had told me. I knew that while we waited for the eggs I had left behind

with the elves and humans to hatch I would train Arya and she would be my second in command and would help me train the new riders.

At the end of our fifth day on the boat I was itching to get off it as was Arya, we were talking about it when Blödhgarm came walking up to

Arya and me, he bowed to me and said "Lord Eragon land is in sight we will be at our destination within a few hours." I looked at Arya

smiling then turned back to Blödhgarm and said "Thank you my friend Arya and I will fly ahead and see if there is an area close to the sea

that would work for starting to build the new Vroengard we will meet you at the shoreline soon after you land or by tonight." Blödhgarm

nodded and left to prepare things for being transported to land. I called to Saphira and Arya called to Fírnen. When our dragons landed we

jumped on and Saphira took the lead to the land not far away. After about a half an hour we were sailing over land. I looked around noticing

that the land looked a lot like Alagaesia but I knew that there were bound to be some differences. After flying for most of the day around the

coast I spotted a huge plain with mountains on one side and trees on the other that would make a perfect area to build the new Vroengard. I

pointed it out to Arya who agreed with me. It was nightfall when we landed at the camp the elves had made and started to tell them where

we would be headed I gave them the mental pictures and memories on the route I saw that would help us make our way there. Soon I was

asleep under Saphira's ring as Aria was asleep under Fírnen's, I knew that tomorrow we would start building the new Vroengard where the

new generations of riders would learn the ways of the order that I had been taught.

(One Year Later)

It had been a year since we made it here, in that time the new Vroengard had been built into a sprawling city. Many of the elves and

Humans who had a dragon egg hatch for them came to learn the ways of the order but some of them when they finished their training

decided to stay while the others went back to Alagaesia to protect all the races and to help them when needed. Arya had been with me the

whole time helping me train the new riders. Arya and I had gotten closer than I ever thought we would, soon it would be time to go back to

Alagaesia and get the new batch of riders. It would be the first time since I had left that I would see Roran and Katrina even Murtagh, and if

I got there in time I would be there for Roran's daughter Ismira's first birthday. And I knew that we would be leaving in the next day or two

when the riders from this group that I had here now finished their training and I had placed them on assignment whether that was to stay at

the new Vroengard or go to Alagaesia with me when I went and they would stay there. I just hoped that the next two days went by quickly."
