Kendra climbed out the single window of the top level of the tower, pulling out a dagger to put in a crack. The outside of the tower was completely made of multiple stones, so she could easily use her daggers to scramble up the side and to the top, where she hung in mid-air.

"Well...I didn't think this through." she mumbled, glancing left and right to see nothing, and down to see about a hundred foot drop. Luckily, she could lean against the slant of the roof, so she didn't waste energy.

She carefully stood, balancing precariously, holding a dagger in each hand as she took step by step slowly. She paused as she was about to reach the middle of the roof, realizing it was oddly silent in her mind.

For the passed half an hour, while searching for a way to get to the roof, Ice had been begging her to come back down, but now her mind was blissfully silent. Kendra shrugged it off, taking the final step forward, before screaming in surprise when the roof caved in.

She rolled sideways with a groan after she landed with a thud. Glancing around the room, she froze as she came nose to snout with a huge white dragon, one even bigger than Ice. The thing had bright yellow eyes, unlike Ice's blue eyes, and didn't seem to want to come in her mind. She kept her daggers in her hands, knowing she probably wouldn't be able to move anyway, even if the dragon did attack.

"Bid'daum back!" she heard someone snap from her left, and in any other circumstance, she probably would have looked in that direction, but she was pretty much paralyzed with fear after staring at the dragon, Bid'daum for so long. Wait a second...

Kendra gasped and she immediately realized this dragon was not a threat. "You're..." she trailed off, and the dragon snorted at her. She turned her gaze to the man who had spoken. "And you're...Eragon." she greeted, but it wasn't her best guy friend staring back at her, it was a translucent elf.

Now that she looked back at Bid'daum, she realized he looked rather see-through too, although his eyes were clear and she couldn't really tell before because white was his natural color. "You're the first dragon and rider!" Kendra burst, smiling at them both in astonishment. She returned her daggers to her belt, happy to know no threat was near.

"Yes, and you're alfrinn abr edoc'sil wyrda." Eragon finished in the ancient language and Kendra looked up at him in even more shock. The pull she felt when he said that was unmistakable.

That was her true name. "She of Unconqurable Fate..." Kendra murmured aloud, thinking back to how Daradon had said she had an unconqurable fate., meaning he probably knew her true name, and Bid'daum and Eragon glanced at each other, Eragon whipping something out of his belt.

"Bid'daum has measured you, and feels you deserve this." Eragon informed her. Kendra glanced up, and saw planted in the ground in front of her, the hilt of a sword. The hilt was silver with a gem on each side, one yellow, one blue, and was long enough for both her hands to get a grip on it.

"The question is, does she feel you deserve her." Eragon broke her out of her train of thought. Go to the top tower and find the sword for the dragons of past. It will give you strength where you need it. Whether they give it to you or not, I cannot tell you.

"Her name is celöbra." Eragon introduced and the hilt shook slightly. Kendra swallowed, glancing first up at Eragon and then back to the sword hilt. She grabbed it with both hands.

"Honor." she mumbled the translation of celöbra, sighing one more time, before tugging with all the strength. Celöbra flew out of the ground and Kendra gasped in surprise. The sword was beautiful. It was obviously Eragon's sword before her.

It was a pure white, even though it had just been embedded in a floor of dirt. It was almost as long as Kendra's arm, and she was forced to use two hands to even hold it, let alone use it.

"You will learn to use it young one." Eragon assured her, reading the thoughts off her face, "She was my sword before, but I am glad to pass her down to someone worthy." he confirmed her earlier thoughts.

"Thank you." Kendra whispered, still in shock that all this had happened so quickly. Laughter rumbled through Eragon's chest.

"No thanks needed." he assured her.

"Go to your dragon. She is looking for you. Tell my great-great grand daughter I said hello." Bid'daum spoke for the first time, and Kendra's gaze snapped to him, gasping again. She wondered how it was possible that Ice could only be Bid'daum's great great grand daughter, but realized some of the eggs probably didn't hatch for years upon years, including Ice.

"Goodbye." she managed as she saw them starting to fade.

"Goodbye, She of Unconquerable Fate." Eragon nodded one more time to her, before he completely left her view. Kendra stood, glancing around she saw a case for her new sword, but still no way to get out. She placed celöbra in her case, before attaching it to her belt, next to her old sword.

She glanced up at the hole in the ceiling, wondering how she could get back up there, but as she took a step towards one of the walls, looking for a possible way to scale up one of them, she realized she didn't have to.

Kendra screamed again as the floor fell out from underneath her again, and she heard a returning scream as she landed on top of someone. Glancing beneath her, she saw a stunned Arya staring up at her.

"Arya!" Kendra scrambled up, nearly tripping on some of the rubble around her. "I'm sorry!" she exclaimed, helping the shocked elf up.

"Kendra? Are you okay?" Arya asked, snapping out of it, and starting to dust herself off.

"I should be the one asking you if you're okay! I landed on you!" Kendra cried, and they both looked to each other, and really couldn't help it. They burst into laughter.

"Kendra! Thank god, you're okay!" Ice shouted in Kendra's mind, once she realized it was back. "I was so worried."

"I'm fine." Kendra assured her as she followed Arya down the steps, and soon enough they were back out front. Ice was staring at Kendra as if she was deciding whether to make a fool of herself by pinning her to the ground and starting to lick her, or grab her and turn her into a flaming kabob on her claws.

"Hey, I met your great great grandfather, Ice. His name is Bid'daum!" Kendra exclaimed cheerfully, and Ice gasped at the mention of great great grandfather, while Arya gasped at Bid'daum.

"What?" Arya asked for them all, and Kendra relayed the story, leaving out the part about going up there in the first place to listen to a werecat's advice. She even showed them celöbra.

"Well, it seems we found something interesting here after all." Arya smiled. Kendra laughed breathlessly.

"Yeah, but can we go now? I want to get back to Ellesmera and you probably want to meet Eragon in Surda." she laughed as Arya blushed. After sobering, they hugged.

"I'll see you in Surda soon enough." Arya moderated and then brightened, "And we all get to see Nasuda again." Kendra laughed and nodded in agreement as they both got on their dragons. Arya headed to Surda and Kendra headed to Ellesmera.

"I finally get to see Murtagh again and you get to see Thorn again." Kendra sighed happily. Ice nearly squealed in agreement, also excited, obviously. Although Thorn and Murtagh were on their way to Surda already, right?
