"Father?" Faolin asked nervously. "This is important!"

King Livien frowned. "In my eyes it is a worthless spark," He snarled. The king hated when people talked back to him- especially when it was his son in front of a large party.

Eragon frowned at the change of character. When did the docile king become such a terrifying ruler? "My lord, shouldn't we here what he has to say first?" He asked gently. Saphira growled her approval.

You did not hear it yet, Eragon. Saphira added, logically, of course. One does not simply 'ignore' a dragon. Saphira was definitely not being ignored, some of the guests were trying to admire her scales- which Eragon had polished just for Livien's birthday party.

Arisu looked up at the king . "What was Faolin going to tell me?" She asked curiously- Faolin didn't normally get riled up for some unimportant speck of information.

The gossipy crowd leaned in- they could not resist drama. Typical rich nobles. Galdon whispered into his father's ears, and Livien nodded in approval. Faolin held his head like a dejected dog; he hated being in the center of attention, with all the eyes burning into him. It was his mistake; he shouldn't have landed on top of Arisu.

Livien snapped his fingers at Arisu, who suddenly seized up like she was being possessed.
"Continue the ball," He commanded, and the music resumed. He nodded his head at Arisu, who unfroze immediately. She shook her head and walked over to the refreshment stand, wondering what on earth Faolin wanted to say. Sadly, she did not even notice the absence of Miyuki.

Some secrets are not meant to be spilled," Livien said darkly. He padded forward and clasped Faolin's hand with an iron grip. This was the other side of the character that Galdon and Faolin was so afraid of. Galdon walked forward uncertainly with his father, aware that everybody was still somewhat looking at them. Eragon was one of them, and walked forward to be by Faolin's side.

Something is going to happen, Eragon thought to Saphira.

I'm watching.

"What happened to Miyuki?" Livien demanded.

oO0Oo

Miyuki shivered as she stepped onto the island. Wow, it's cold. Snapping her fingers, she lit herself a small flame and sat down to look at the setting sun. The waves were sparkling and the small vortex was slowly shrinking.

Miyuki looked at the exotic landscape and lay down on the sand. The stars gazed down at her as she felt the push and pull of the energy. Slowly, she crept outside of her consciousness and visited Polaris, the famous star. A small smile slowly crossed her face as the blazing energy entered her body. Only twice a year does this happen; on the solstices. Now on the summer solstice, the stars are aligned up in the correct position to give Miyuki, the only known cosmic user, vast energy; to do anything she would wish to do. Nothing was out of her reach in this state. However, if it were to be a cloudy day, and if the stars are not visible, then the power would be sealed.

Miyuki concentrated her energy inside the palace. A crisp, clear hologram of the ball appeared in front of her, each guest there breathing and dancing. Arisu was in the middle of the ballroom, dancing with...Tabor? Miyuki stood up quickly when she saw the disgustingly handsome Serpent Rider.

Sh-she didn't even remember me, Miyuki thought sadly. She sighed and was about to evaporate the hologram before something interesting started to happen. King Livien was participating in a heated discussion with Faolin, Galdon, and Eragon and Saphira. Exercising more energy out of curiosity, she could hear their discussion as if she were right beside them...

"She gave me a note," Faolin cried, waving the piece of paper in front of his father.

Miyuki sighed. She knew that Faolin wouldn't burn the piece of paper. In the recesses of her heart, it seemed like she didn't want it burnt; maybe she wanted someone to care and take her back.

"What? When did you get this?" Livien demanded, reading the note with his own eyes.

"What does it say?" Eragon asked pointedly. He casually peered over the king's shoulders without thinking, but Galdon grabbed his shoulders. His eyes said, "It is rude to breathe on a royal's back."

Livien's eyes narrowed down to slits. "This is a fake," He announced to the small huddled group. They were near the corner, so that the dancing guests wouldn't disturb them. Even so, most of the guests were staring at them.

"Wh-what do you mean this is a fake?" Faolin and Galdon said at the same time. Miyuki wasn't a jokester.

I-I can't watch this, Miyuki thought to herself.

"I don't think that is fake, my lord," Eragon injected with persuasion. He was talking with Saphira; she didn't think it was fake either.

"It is fake. Do you see this?" He drew his finger over a line in the paper. "It is-"

Miyuki cut off the hologram with a wave of her hand. Holding secrets was so hard. Holding back her magic so that she wouldn't kill everybody she met; even harder.

"Why me?" She moaned weakly. She stared at the stars, and slowly fell into a deep sleep. At a distance, the crashing of the waves signaled immediate and lurking danger.

oO0Oo

There were rarely any boats in Illibrith, especially since the city was underwater. Even so, right above the city, was a ship. It was painted the color of the waves, and it had a natural camouflage.

"Ahoy mateys! Come forth shore!" said the pirate who should be slaughtered because of his grammar. "We've been sitting on lumpy wood here hours!"

The captain of the ship shouted at his first mate, "No slacking you pathetic morons! Get thine crew, anchor!"

Apparently, the ship was infested with grammar failures drop outs.

"Aww! Go get to island!" the first mate ordered his crew of idiots.

"Aye aye Ulum!" they cried in unison.

"Ulum! Quit slacking help me navigate! I dunno how drive ship!" the captain said without shame. How could the captain not learn how to drive his own ship- oh wait. He's an idiot, sorry my bad.

"Oya Capitaine there is a white angel aforth 'da land," Another pirate observed as he pointed at Miyuki's slumbering body.

"Hmm? Angel is on island, from sky? Pirates! To treasure!"

"Aye!"

Yeah, sorry if you had difficulty reading the pirates part. We don't know how to emphasize idiocy without messing up someone's grammar...mwahahahaha. Now, please review, favourite, and follow. Thank you!

We shall guide you to the review box. :)
