~A week later

Traveling through renamed forests with a century-old map was harder than Eriah thought. Ashley trailed behind her cradling the startlingly blue dragon as Windfeather, Eriah's dragon, flew overhead looking for obstacles.
"DUCK!" Windfeather shouted with her mind.
A large, bright red bird flew right over Ashley. It swooped around and perched on a branch. The bird let out an unearthly note, and vanished with a burst of fire.
Eriah cursed. "I forgot. This is the place where Other Earth leaks into Alegaesia. At least we're only three leagues away from Eragon's fort. Watch it, mandrake under your foot."

~A day later

Ashley's dragon, Waterflight, was waddling around. "Hey, look! A circle rainbow!" She said mentally. A small patch of ground was swirling around, gathering light and creating the spectrum. Waterflight poked it and got sucked in. Ashley dived into the hole after her as Windfeather fell out of the sky, knocking Eriah over.

"Ow! Windfeather! You got us stuck in Other Earth." Eriah yelled. "Well, sorry." said the green dragon. Waterflight bounded out of a bush. "Hey, that was my house when I was helping build Hogwarts!" Eriah said. She dug around in her pocket and found a key. The door unlocked and the group went in.
