Okay, so here I am, writing the next chapter. Thank you to my reviewers…

Arya Drotting- you'll see!

Soilderx- Thank you. Hopefully I'll get more soon!

Mistress-of-Misery- Yup. Neither can I. And for once I actually know what I'm doing with my story. Usually I just start writing and see where it takes me. But not this time!

NOTICE- I will not be updating until I get at least ten reviews! I know you guys can do it! Question, are hits (on the stats thingy) thing, does that show how many people have read my story? Cause if so, 29 people have read and only 3 have actually reviewed. I hate that! Come on! Read and Review people!

So, with that out of my system…let us move on to the reason you guys came here. The next chapter!

Chapter Two: Expedition
"Why not! I'll take every precaution and I won't be alone."

"Isseth, while being a Dragon, can't save you from everything! She's better for battle, which I don't think you'll run into. I'm more worried about the weather and stuff like that." Eragon was exhausted. He had been having this argument with Emiri for two years now. Every time it resulted in Emiri being sad that he didn't trust her. But he did! He just didn't trust mother nature and the climates that she would be going against. She had been asking too go on this adventure for so long…Elvina agreed. She thought that it was a great idea for her to open her own wings and explore. Her adventure? To go to the mountains beyond the Du Weldenvarden and seek the Wild Dragons. Isseth also wanted to do this badly, wanting to seek her heritage. "No. Emiri I don't want to lose you. You are to special to me to let that happen. It's a big world out there…I don't want you there on your own. What if something happened? You would be all alone, I probably wouldn't know until it's too late. No."

"But dad! I wouldn't be alone!" Emiri was trying to tell her dad that Enishi had agreed to go with her. But it wasn't working so far.

"Isseth doesn't count!" Eragon was tired of repeating himself.

"She's right sir. She wouldn't be alone." Eragon and Emiri looked up from where they stood. Enishi appeared from the doorway and made his way to them. "I have offered to go with her."

Eragon stood stock still in surprise. He knew that Enishi thought the same way he did. It was a childish dream. If the Wild Dragons wished to be known, then they would have made themselves so. There was no use in trying to find them when they didn't want to be found. But…then again…the Wild Dragons might not know that it was safe to come out now. So in a way…it was a good idea to send someone up there to inform them that it was safe. But his one and only daughter…? Why couldn't it be someone else? Then again…if he were in Emiri's position…he would want to do the same as her.

He turned to Enishi. "So you would accompany her all the way?"

Enishi walked till he was right next to Emiri. He put his arm around her, and she leaned against his shoulder. Emiri looked at him and smiled. He returned it then turned back to Eragon in all seriousness. "I will sir. After all, what kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't protect the one I love?"

Eragon smiled. Darn this kid. He really knew how to make a compelling speech.

Come on little one. She's old enough now.

I know Saphira. I just worry.

Of course you do. You're her father. You're supposed to worry. It's your job. But you have to let go eventually. She needs to be able to find her own path in life. To be able to expand her life to it's fullest. She's a big girl now. She's seventeen. That is a suitable age for a husband…

What are you saying Saphira…? Eragon didn't like where this was going.

You'll see soon enough. With that, she withdrew from his mind and blocked the connection.

Saphira? Saphira! UGH… you are so stubborn. In the background, he heard Saphira laugh.

Eragon came back to reality.

Emiri watched as her dads face went blank. He must be talking to Saphira. Come on Saphira! Saphira had always been in her favor.

Enishi felt Emiri stiffen when her dad came back to reality. He knew that Eragon was talking to Saphira, he just hopped that it worked out in Emiri's favor. He gave her shoulder a slight squeeze in reassurance.

Eragon turned to Enishi and Emiri. "I…" He took a deep breath. "You may go. But Enishi must go with you."

Emiri looked shocked, but soon recovered from her shock. She ran to her dad and hugged him tightly. "I love you! Thank you so much!" She whispered in his ear."

Eragon smiled against her hair. "You're welcome honey."

Enishi watched on in silence. He was glad that Emiri was finally getting her wish. She had fought for this dream for years. And now, all of those endless hours and persuasion and planning were finally paying off. He was proud of her. But he still had to do his hard task. His father knew about it, and his mother, and Emiri's mother, in fact all of them knew what he was about to do, expect for Eragon and Emiri.

Enishi cleared his throat. Eragon and Emiri turned to him. Eragon had a sadden, yet slightly happy face on. Emiri's face was ecstatic, and she had unshed tears in her eyes.

"Um…can I talk to you alone…sir?" Enishi was a little uncomfortable about what he was doing. Heck anyone would be!

Emiri looked confused but then smiled at him and walked out of the room. She trusted him enough that she knew that he knew what he was doing.

Eragon just watched her leave, and then turned to Enishi with a questioning look on his face. "Well, what is it that you wanted to talk to me about son?"

"Well actually I wanted to talk to both you and your wife…if that is possible…sir." Enishi sifted positions uncomfortably.

Eragon watched him He was obliviously very uncomfortable…why? He had no idea. "I think that would be fine. Hold on." Eragon got a far away look on his face as he tried to contact his wife.

Elvina?

Yes? What is it?

Enishi wants to talk to us. About what, I don't know.

Uh… oh! Okay. Elvina suddenly remembered when Enishi talked to her earlier. She got a little wicked look on her face. This would be interesting. There had been a few boys who had asked for Emiri's hand in marriage. Eragon had turned both away. He said that he wasn't ready to let her go, and that they wouldn't be able to care for her properly. Elvina had agreed with him…then. But this is now.

She was in the garden out side of their home. She walked to the door and opened it to the living room. From there she headed to the study, were she felt Eragon and Enishi's presence. She opened the double doors and went inside.

She looked at Enishi. He was stiff and it looked like he might be sweating a little bit. Oh yeah. It was time.

She went and stood by her husband's side.

"Alright Enishi, you have our attention. What is it that you would like to ask?" Elvina asked. Even though she already knew. Nasuada had told her. Though Enishi didn't know that she knew.

"I…"He took a deep breath. "You know that I have been dating your daughter for some time now…I was wondering…if…"

"It's okay. You can ask it. WE won't bite your head off." Eragon said. Enishi wasn't so sure…

"Okay. Here it goes. Would you allow me to marry you daughter…?"

"Yes." Elvina said. Eragon however. Was standing as stiffly as a tree.

Say something.

I did.

What did you say…?

Yes.

WHAT?

Honey, he's a nice man. Kind, gentle, sweet and he truly cares for Emiri.

I know but… marriage?

What were you going to have happen? Let them get close and love each other then tear them apart?

That's kind of harsh…

But that's what you would be doing if you said no.

Hmmm…

Do it.

When did you come in here? Eragon asked Saphira.

When you decided to become a hardheaded man.

What? I am not-

You will be if you say no.

FINE!

Eragon turned to Enishi who was starting to get worried.

"…You may…marry my daughter."

Enishi looked at him with shock. He didn't think that it would be this easy.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Thank you so much!"

"That's alright. Now go on. You two have to plan for that trip."

"Thank you again sir." With that, he walked out of the room and closed the doors. I'm shocked that he let me marry her…so many have already been turned down…what the heck…?

Power of a female little one. Saphira and Kalith said in his mind.

Amen. Roslarb and Thorn pocked in his head then. Enishi chuckled and left the house to go to his home and prepare.

Elvina turned to her husband. "You said yes to the trip…?" She was shocked. She didn't think he would ever let her go on that tip.

"Well…Enishi promised to go and protect her…I couldn't say no." Eragon put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. She leaned against him.

"Thank you." Her voice was a tiny whisper. If it weren't for his excellent hearing, he wouldn't have been able to hear her.

"Yeah well, you and Saphira would have and killed me in my sleep. So I chose life over death."

"Smart choice dear." She said teasingly.

She turned to him and kissed him on the lips softly. "I love you."

"And I you." He returned the kiss for fully then the last one.

Emiri sat in her room thinking. She was so excited for their trip. She couldn't wait!

What do you think Isseth?

I'm just glad that your dad finally agreed. I was starting to think that we would just have to go alone without permission.

Isseth! You know that I would never.

I know. That's why I would kidnap you. Like my mom did to your dad years ago when they first met.

Emiri chuckled. Isseth had a twisted sense of humor. Just like her mother…

Why do you think Enishi wanted to talk to my dad?

I'm not sure young one.

You know…I'm not that young. You are to me.

We're the same age!

So?

You are so weird.

I know. I'll take that as a complement.

Take it as you please.

She started dreaming about what they might find…Blue and red, white, green, brown, yellow, gold, silver, magenta, every color of the rainbow…all big and beautiful. Wild and-

A loud banging on her door interrupted her thoughts. She went to answer it.

When she opened the door, two small shapes came flying in and crashed into Emiri.

"Wha…?" Emiri said from her position on the floor.

"Hey Emiri!"

"Hi Emiri!"

"Oh, it's you guys." She hoisted up off the ground and sat on her bed. "How are you two doing?"

"I'm fine!" One of the two boys said.

"Me too!"

"How are your mom and dad?"

"Daddy's fine."

"So is mom."

"Good." Emiri looked at the two twins. They were Roran and Katrina's kids. Cor, was the older one by two hours. Corin was the younger, though he acted like he was at least two years older then he was. They were fifteen years old. But they still liked to surprise Emiri by jumping on top of her when she opened the door. Neither of them were Dragon Riders…yet. Everyone was positive that they would become one eventually, since both of their parents were one. Cor was almost Emiri's height, but not quiet. So that put him at around 5'8. Corin was an inch shorter. Cor was his father's spitting image, while Corin looked more like his mother. (A/n: I forgot what those two look like. So imagine for yourselves.)

"Oh yeah!" Cor suddenly had an outburst, which caused Emiri to jump. "Mom and dad are down stairs and Eragon and Elvina want you down there. They said that dinner was almost ready."

"Okay. Thanks." Emir walked to the door. As she walked down, she thought about tomorrow. She was to meet Enishi at their favorite spot at five in the morning. He had wanted to talk to her. Isseth was les then excited about the early hour. But when she found out that Hírador was going to be there. She jumped at the chance.

I wonder what they want…

We'll find out when we get there young one.

Way to state the obvious.

I try.

Shut up. Emiri said while laughing.
