Hello again! I got reviewed! :D Reviews make an author's life a better place.

Disclaimer: Really, really, really not mine. Sadly. Except Stella. She's mine. :)

Morzan was being very kind to Eragon. He'd explained to him that he would be tutored in the Eliten ways, wouldn't live in the human world if he didn't want to, and would have the best doctors to supervise his pregnancy. He'd also taken a blood sample to help his advisers figure out why Eragon was an Eliten. At the moment, he was exploring the palace, as per Morzan's request.

So far, he'd found just about everything to overwhelming to take in. It's not as though Thorn or someone was there to show him around. So, he was left to wander around the beautiful palace.

Loud voices interrupted his impromptu tour.

"Have you seen Eridor's ass! It's so hot!"

"You only say that because you don't pay enough attention to Thorn's abs!"

Obviously, a group of female Dragonoids were discussing the physical qualities of certain males. Curious, Eragon rounded the corner to investigate. The girls looked up from their conversation. They descended on him almost instantly.

"Who are you? I've never seen you around before."

"I think he's kind of cute! For an Eliten, that is."

"Leave him alone," a Dragonoid with luminous blue eyes requested softly.

The other two turned to her with questions flashing through their eyes. The blue eyed Dragonoid held out her hand, "I'm Saphira."

"Eragon." He introduced himself, taking her hand.

Suddenly, a searing pain shot through them, and they both collapsed onto the floor.


Oromris was trying his best to help Hirador come to terms with the evidence they had concerning Eragon's heritage.

"What I'm trying to say is that Eragon was born from a family of humans, had no Eliten blood in his family tree whatsoever and yet is still completely Eliten." He repeated for the hundredth time.

His Dragonoid, Glaedr, who had long since given up on explaining things, was busy telling Morzan and his Dragonoid Vervada-also Saphira's mother-of their findings.

Morzan shook his head quietly, "When Stella comes back, Murtagh's going to get an earful. My wife will not enjoy the fact he's bonded with someone with no Eliten heritage. "

Vervada smiled softly, "I'll try to insure my mate, Iormungr, helps the youngling and my child-because my hatchling is his bond-mate, no? I hope the new Eliten will be alright."

"The king will be greatly interested when he discovers this, Lord Morzan," Oromris interrupted seriously.

"I agree. You, as his teacher, will have to make sure he will be well prepared when this occurs," Morzan rubbed a hand over his face tiredly.

"Yes, My Lord."

The door was open hastily. Two Dragonoids rushed into the room frantically.

"My Lords! My Ladies!" They panted, "Saphira and the new Eliten Eragon have fainted!"

"When? How?" Veranda asked urgently.

"All they did was shake each other's hand!" the girls were close to tears.

The people in the room shared meaningful glances. The bonding process between the two unbound Eliten and Dragonoid had started.

Almost all the names came from the back of Book Two:Eldest (also known as part II of the W.F.B. Bible).

I named Murtagh's mother Stella because I wanted to call Eragon's mother Selena. I haven't yet descided whether to add Selena to the story or not....Please tell me what you think!
