One of my friends will be reading this (her name is Jenny and she likes Gwaine. The detectives among you will figure out that she is a character in this, so well done, 10 points to Gryffindor), and to her I give this message;
Omnomnomnomnom ;-)
Enjoy reading!

Eragon stepped out into Doru Araeba, and behind him were Arthur, Merlin, Percival, Gwaine and Jenny.
You have brought them here successfully, The Eldunari spoke to Eragon. Now we shall bring their dragons to maturity.
Suddenly Elyan, Mikhail and Alice roared loudly as their muscles strengthened and multiplied, until they were as big as Flamel. Saphira towered over them all.
Saphira! Eragon shouted mentally.
Hello, young one.
How long were we?
A few months. The Varden are still fighting strong, and Galbatorix is not ready for full scale battle yet. But he is preparing an army, and we must be careful.
What must we do?
Go to Uru'Baen, and put an end to his rule. He must pay for all the pain and suffering he caused.
Eragon nodded and turned to the group. "We are going to a city called Uru'Baen. But until we defeat Galbatorix, we shall have no memory of the dragon eggs or Eldunari here. For if Galbatorix was to get ahold of them, he would enslave dragonkind. We will defeat him however, and revive the ancient dragons in slumber here. We've done that four times already," nodding at the dragons. "We will leave soon, so go and do whatever you like for a bit. Just don't leave Doru Araeba."
...
Eragon went up to Merlin. "I see that from getting your Gedwey Ignasia, you got your magic back."
"Yes. I did." Merlin looked up at his dragon, who was beginning to look like Aithusa.
"So tell me," Eragon began to ask. "If you named the other dragon from your realm after the sun with a mystical name, why choose a household name for your dragon?"
Merlin shrugged. "I'm not sure. But he's a good dragon."
Eragon nodded. "Come with me. Let's fly over the island."
Merlin nodded back and clambered on to Mikhail. Eragon climbed onto Saphira and they took off, soaring into the sky.
...
Jenny and Gwaine were also flying in the air with their dragons, Jenny teaching Gwaine how dragons moved, and how best to hold onto them. At first he was hunched over Elyan's back, holding on for dear life, but he slowly straightened up and now he was riding with strength and confidence. They continued to fly around the island, taking in the views of the glorious sunset. The clouds hung over the sky like curtains, bathed in a marvellous orange glow. The sea glowed as well, reflecting the sun in an incredible view that was even more breathtaking from the sky.
They eventually came to land, and dismounted.
"You flew well." Jenny told him.
"I had a good teacher."
"If for every time you said that, I got a coin, I would be rich."
Gwaine laughed. "It's true."
Jenny smiled at him. He smiled back.
