Eragon could not believe that every time he flew over the same place there a silver spot on the ground making him curious. Finally he couldn't stand it anymore. Saphira had to know what it was.

Saphira what is that silver spot below us look like to you? Eragon asked in her thoughts curiosity made him a little impatient when she looked down at the spot he could see. She hadn't noticed it before.

I think it's another dragon from what I can see. From this height it could be something else but only a dragon can be silver. She answered.

And does it have a rider do you think? He asked excited.

Um I can't see them but... wait a minute yes it does. And I can sense something else. The rider and dragons are girls.

Let's go meet them. There's only four dragon's I knew of. I know that is a fifth dragon. Not to mention you said it is a girl. That means your not the only girl dragon left after all. I didn't realized girls could be riders.


Elonda will you stop it. If your trying to drown yourself you could ask me to help you or fail. Eva called from the shore. Though I'm not going to help you kill yourself so you would still fail especially in water.

"How did you know that is what I was trying to do?" I asked her curiously. I had a habit of speaking aloud and in my mind at the same time. I had been trying to kill myself several times and each time she had to say or do something to stop me from hurting myself. I hadn't stopped trying to kill myself though. My depression was still the same as the day she was born and the day the riders died.

I know you only a little too well little one, She said watching me with those caring silver eyes trying to show me that she understood why I was so sad but there was nothing she could do to bring the riders back from the dead. No one could until I found the power inside. Eva could sense there was something special about my power as if to say I could do something about the riders who had died. You've been trying to kill yourself sense I hatch and I bet before that because I couldn't see you when you left the cave. Besides you said you wanted to die the day I hatched remember. So I'm not going to let you kill yourself but it is fun to watch you try to drown yourself. It is very entertaining because humans bodies float and you know that.

"Thanks Eva you're loads of help in this," I said annoyed. "Why don't I just tie a rock to my feet so I don't float?"

Because I'll stop you from doing that. She smiled her dragon smile.

"Thanks you're loads of help once again." I was still annoyed.

Anytime you need me Elonda. She continued to watch me on the shore with amusement and sympathy at the same time in her eyes.

"I'm trying to kill myself for a reason you dimwitted…. sclaced…. fish." I shouted at her. "I caused the fall of the riders and lost everything and everyone I cared about. I have nothing left to live for."

She looked at me with pure sympathy then and I ignored the look. She knew I was just trying to kill myself because I believed I had been the cause of the fall of the riders though it wasn't true. Though we had had the same conversation over and over again I still believed it was my fault and Eva tried to tell me over and over again during the conversations it wasn't my fault but Galbatorix's fault. I still didn't believe it was anybodies fault but my own. That is why I was so depressed and no matter what happened she knew I wouldn't ever get over my depression at the rate I was going. She also knew there was something deeper then that but didn't press me for answers unless she felt as if she had to know.

A sudden splash nearby made me turn around in the water startled by the unexpected noise.

Eragon and Saphira had landed in the water behind me. I screamed and dove under water. I was naked and wanted to remain a virgin and a boy had seen me when I wasn't wearing anything. My life went from bad to worse in less a few minutes.

Eva reacted before I came up from my dive under water. She flew right to were I had disappeared and landed right on top of me. I could climb up her scales to see over her spines which I decided to do. When I got there I looked at Eragon with a death glare meant to turn him to a total corpse but it didn't work not like I hoped it would so instead I said "Are you a complete idiot? You shouldn't land in water when a girl is taking a bath! Or did you live in a whole male community?"

"Sorry I didn't know you were….." He never finished his sentence.

"Naked. It's a little obvious, Idiot." I interrupted him livid.

"Sorry but I didn't know you were in the lake taking a bath. If I had I wouldn't of landed here." Eragon was truly repentant but I didn't care.

Eva walked sideways so he wouldn't see me.

Next time some dragon's near a water source with a rider we aren't landing until we know they aren't bathing. Especially if it is a girl. Saphira said as I hid behind Eva to get dressed hating Eragon more and more as time passed.

Eragon knew I hated him but his curiosity was growing as fast as my hatred.
