How do you guys feel about a part two?

Sitting himself down at the base of a tree to wait, Eragon clasped his hands together and thought over the events of his day. It was overwhelming in all honesty; he fought to wrap his mind around it. Staring into the shadows across from him with blank eyes, he allowed his thoughts to wonder.

Oh Saphira, what are we going to do? He asked as dipped his head and rested it in his hands, sighing deeply. Saphira couldn't get there soon enough, yet he wished to prologue his solitude. He did not look forward to explaining everything to her. But he had to, and he would...later.

Saphira landed her great body some ten feet away from him, careful to avoid trees and thorn bushes. The dragonness hated the minor scratches from the thorns that always itched. When her eyes fell upon Eragon, her mood fell also.

Little one?

He lifted his head and gave her a sorrowful look, his face pale and his eyes sunken. Immediately she rushed over, crooning to him softly and urging him to tell her what was wrong. All he could bring himself to do was cry to her, muttering things she could not understand.

"Saphira, my beloved Saphira, how is it we have inherited all the bad luck in the world?"

Eragon, what is wrong? She nuzzled her gigantic head against his side and hummed to him. You must tell me or I cannot help. He rested a hand on her muzzle and leaned his head on hers.

Saphira... I cannot tell you all I have learned, not until we are far away from here. But believe me when I say we must leave, and fast. She lifted her head away from him and looked down at her rider, sitting there motionless in the dirt.

Well then, if it is speed which you seek, let us be off!

With a quick jump into her saddle, Eragon was lifted into the sky on Saphira's back. With the wind, his troubles seemed to blow away. He returned to his usual, happy self within minutes of swimming through the bright sky. He found himself laughing with the delight he shared with her and forgot all about what Blodgharm had said, the elves, and the queen altogether.

He screamed with delight, raising his arms high in the air. Saphira smoothly performed a roll and a flip with such ease only gained by practice. He could feel her massive sides shaking with laughter. He couldn't help but smile even wider, glad to leave his worries behind.

Where to, my rider?

Our tree house, oh magnificent blue one! We must pack for tonight and rest up. Eragon replied, pointing a hand in the general direction, his face twisting into a funny smile. Saphira couldn't help but laugh.

Oh Eragon, what would I do without you? Saphira asked. A trickle of sadness ran through his mind, a remnant of his sorrow earlier. He knew what she would be doing without him, she would be waiting inside her shell for her rider to come and break her from her prison.

Bits of his thoughts crept over to Saphira through their mental link. She slowed her flight, nearly hovering in the air. Now was the time to shove all the negative thoughts out of Eragons mind.

Now you listen to me Eragon, what ever Blodgharm told was not your fault, we're in this together and I would chose you above any other. Even if Galbatorix swore to give up his kingdom in exchange for you, I would grab you and fly as fast as I can. No one can take you away from me, and I will never leave you. Now stop all this nonsense and pull yourself together, if we're to leave tonight without anyone knowing we can't be acting suspicious.

Eragon knew she was right, and with her words his resolve hardened. He needed to do this, for her, Blodgharm, Slenvi and Angela. For who ever the elves had stepped on to get what they wanted. He was doing this for himself, and his dragon, his partner of mind and soul.

With a shake of his head, he offered her an evil smile, mood swinging rapidly from sad to sadistic stubbornness. It might be wrong, but he was going to do it anyways.

Let's do this.

I don't like emo-ish Eragon, it doesn't suit him at all. He's supposed to be the happy go lucky one in my mind. I don't like this particular chapter, but the last part was significant and I LOVED empowered Eragon setting himself to their plan! Woot!

Wow, this was a quick update, but the chapter is definitely on the short side, so I guess it evens out.

Thanks to Princess Arya for being my Beta Reader for these last few chapters, and hopefully many to come! We're still working out a system, but it's getting there xD
