Dirty Little Secrets

by Caddaren

Saphira awakes from a night she can't remember, sick, hungover, and pregnant? Can she and Eragon escape the clutches of those who want her eggs and figure out who did this to her, or will they fly straight into the hands of people who would hurt them most?

25. Part Two Begins

So begins Part Two of Dirty Little Secrets:

Hunted by friends and foes alike, Saphira and Eragon fly to their limits and beyond to escape the grasp of those who wish to abuse them. Has their worst nightmare just begun, or is it now coming to an end?

Halfway across the country, Galbatorix is fighting a war of his own. The Dark King has underestimated the Rebellion for the last time. He has called the banners and plans to ride to war, but will it be enough? Will his allies arrive in time to save his kingdom from crumbling or show up to the burning aftermath of the greatest battle in Alagaesian history?

Speeding his way south in search of the Blue Rider who has unexpectedly cut all ties with the Resistance, Shruikan flies to make it to the young duo before anyone else does. They will be the key to Empire's victory, should he succeed. But, faced with a growing threat from the West, will he be forced to backtrack to Uru Baen and aide the king in battle?

For part two, I plan on improving my paragraph length and sentence structure. I'm also work on the plot a bit more than I did for Part One (it didn't have too many plot-twists, I'm afraid) and I'm hoping to keep you guys around to see what happens :)

I plan on updating once every two weeks, probably on Saturdays (or Wednesdays, I still have to work out my schedule) and I'm also bumping up the word count for each chapter. 1000 words or up is a little to wimpy for me, I'm aiming for 2000+ words. It sounds reasonable, yes? I have trouble with long chapters, so we'll see how it goes.

I want the first 3+ chapters done and the plot a smidgen more detailed before I post the beginning of Part Two, but I'm hoping to start posting in two weeks :) See you guys then!
