Here's the next chapter! Sorry it's so short, but it's kind of an important chapter, and I didn't want to go overboard. Please review! I promise to update soon if I get reviews! (:


It was only a day and a half before Nremyn arrived: a day and a half that Freya spent in her room, pouring over scrolls, trying to find answers, but there were none.

She had to wait for her brother. It was funny. She knew her brother better than anyone else, not even his fellow Dragon Riders, and yet, she had no idea why he would leave the home of the Riders.

She didn't have to wait long to find out. Nremyn rushed into her room, out of breath. A satchel was slung over his shoulder. He looked exhausted, like he would collapse if you tapped him. But he was clearly not concerned. Freya saw him reach for his collar, wear he always wore my mother's old sapphire brooch, in which he stored energy.

As soon as he caught his breath, he undid the clasp on the satchel and took out a piece of parchment. As he laid it down on the desk carefully, Freya looked over his shoulder, amazed by the scrollwork on the paper. she didn't recognize it as either the common tongue or the Ancient Language.

"It's Elvish." Her brother informed her.

"Elvish? It doesn't look so."

He turned, looking her directly in the eye.

"It's not from here."

"What on Earth are you talking about?!"

"I'm not entirely sure. Eragon found this between the pages of a book in the library... one Mother wrote." he paused. The memory of our mother took hold of him for a moment, and his eyes glistened. But he snapped back the moment after. "He was able to decipher it through an old spell, used by the ancient elves when they could not yet understand the speech of the other races."

"And...?"

"It talks of a land called 'Middle Earth.' And towards the bottom is an inscription from our mother."

"What did it say?" Freya asked, impatient.

"That she left us... She went into another world."


And what will happen next...?

You'll only know if you keep reading. And the more reviews I get, the more likely I am to continue!
