When we leveled out I looked around the island as Raven and I flew overhead. We passed over a small clearing and suddenly there was a mind requesting permission to speak with me. Cautiously, I put a little of the barrier down, and Durza spoke. "I'm in the clearing under you. Come down when you're ready."
I looked down but I didn't see him. "I don't see you." And then he came out of the foliage and I saw him. "Ok. I'll come down."
When we landed I saw this specific area was very wooded compared to any where else I saw when flying over. It was a little frightening how you can't see much of the sky over head either. I asked "Why are we here?"
"The riders here are convinced that I'm their enemy because of Eragon. If they see me, then they will try to kill me." He sighed.
I gasped and took a involuntary step back. "W-Why?!"
"Like I said, Eragon convinced them that I am the enemy. They are blind to the truth. The sooner we leave the better."
"We will be spotted too easily, or at least, I will…"
At this he smirked. "Then change how you look. Make it so you look different. You have the power to-" he silenced abruptly as a giant blue dragon flew overhead. "Hurry. Do you remember how to?"
I tried to picture myself with straight, pale, grass green shoulder length hair, and then it happened. I smirked as I made my skin a little tan so I wasn't so pale, and made my eyes an emerald green. Then I made Raven's scales, eyes and claws white, and her eyes a sky blue.
As we looked at how I changed us I realized just how easy it was. Shockingly easy. And the best part is now we can hide while we fly high in the sky.
"How'd I do?" I asked.
"Wonderful." Raven said.
Durza seemed surprised at how quickly I did it. "Astonishing. You two look completely different. But why those colors?"
"White for Raven because when we fly we can blend in better, and as for the green, just because I figured it would help me blend in to the trees."
"Smart." All I did was smile in return. Then I noticed Raven's saddle was still black, so I changed it to white as well. When I was satisfied with my work, I stated to go through the two saddle bags.
I found the two daggers I put in there, a silver hooded cloak that went to my knees, a silvery purple silk dress and matching shoes, a change of clothes, and hair ties. I put the cloak on and buttoned it up. It hid the weapons on my back, and waist. I closed the bags and turned to Durza. "Now what?"
"We get out of here. You will need to fly, so we can meet up in the Spine by Pallancar Valley."
"Ok. Should I worry about looking elven or do elves live beside humans?"
"You're fine, but you should probably keep Raven hidden so none of the riders come after you. Anything else?"
I thought for a little bit. "I don't think so."
With that he pulled a folded map from his pocket, handed it to me, and vanished in a cloud of what looked like fog or smoke. I coughed a few times until it cleared up. All that was left was writing on the ground that read 'Search for Roran Strong Hammer. He is in need of help from a strong magician, and if you help him he will be in your det. The rest is up to you for what he does and tells you.' And then it was signed Durza. I then wiped it away, making it look like it was never there.
I turned to Raven and asked mentally 'Ready to fine this 'Roran Strong Hammer'?'
"Ready." She replied in a strong, confident voice.
'Then lets fly.'
