Shadow Riders
Chapter
Three
Steph and Alyia looked around. Both started to look for a rock and Adolf and Ophelia just watched.
Why not just barge in? It'd be easier Adolf told everyone. "Well wise one, if we did that we'd get shot down before we even get five feet inside and before we can explain. So unless you have someone in there that can let us in without getting us killed then I suggest that you shut up and leave it to us." Steph smart mouthed as she handed Alyia a rock that was the same size as their fist.
Alyia was about to take the rock but stopped. When she stopped moving, everyone had shut up and listened and had heard a grinding sound. Realizing what the sound was, Steph took a cautious step forward.
Steph jumped back just a giant blue head came out. They saw the surprised look on the dragon's face when she had seen the two dragons. But looking at the two girls her eyes narrowed.
"Saphira, what is it?" Both girls recognized that voice. From under Saphira's chin Eragon stepped out and also had a surprised look on his face at the site of the dragons.
"We come in peace?" Steph and Alyia said at the same time. Don't eat them. They are just children. Ophelia said as the two girls glared at her. Eragon started to laugh at what they had said. Orik then came out of the waterfall and taking one glance at the dragons and the two girls was all he needed before he turned toward the waterfall and yelled something in Dwarf.
When that happened, Arya came out and took everyone inside.

"…this is why we have to leave to train. But don't worry-" Steph said but was cut off by Alyia who continued the sentence. "-we'll know when you need us the most and that's when we'll come." Lady Nasuada nodded her approval. "We'll need your help in order to over throw Galbatorix. After all, you are the foretold in a prophecy."
Looking at each other in confusion they blinked (at the same time) and said (at the same time): "Say what?" The three dragons didn't give them a chance to be answer because Saphira threw something at them and Adolf and Ophelia took off without another word.
What were they talking back there?
How should I know? I'm drawing up a blank. Hey Adolf, do you know what's going on?
I know, but now isn't the right time to tell you of what they meant.
He's right; when the time is right we'll tell you. But don't worry it won't be too late. For unlike Dragon Riders, we Shadow Riders have to die nine times before we die for good.
