Hello, Argetlam

Jenny woke up to something nibbling on her ear. Trying to swipe it away with her hand, she was rewarded with a bite on her hand. Yelping, she sat up, looking around, and spotted the little red dragon, looking up at her expectantly. It growled mournfully.

"Okay, I get the picture. You're hungry." Jenny looked around. How was she going to feed it? All she had to hunt with was the kitchen knife. Sighing, she rubbed her head. Then, the nights events struck her. The last thing that she remembered was falling… How had she survived? That fall would have been like jumping off a ten story building, as high as Amaiy had been flying. She looked around the clearing she had landed in one last time, standing up. Were those footprints next to the little dragon…?

Picking up the ruby dragon, she peered closely at the prints. They were human, that was for sure, but they were small and skinny. Who had a footprint like that? Then it hit her. Elves! Elves would help her! Wouldn't they?

Jenny began following the prints, looking closely at them so as not to loose site of them. So, of course, she didn't realize anyone was in front of her until she bumped into them. She bounced back, falling on her bottom, and looked up.

The person in front of her was incredibly tall and lean, hair fairly long and bleached white. He, for it was a man, bore a broadsword at his belt, a bow over his shoulder, and a quiver of arrows strapped to his back. He offered her his hand.

"Hello, Argetlam," he said. "It is nice to see that you are finally awake."

Eragon couldn't believe it had already been a week since Ajihad had been killed, since Murtagh had been kidnapped, since Arya had disappeared, trying to find him. Several search parties had gone to look for them, to no avail. And now Eragon was going to leave, with only Saphira, for Ellesmera to rain to become a true Rider.

She will be found or make it out soon, Saphira said, trying to reassure him. She will soon join us at Ellesmera.

I hope so, Eragon said. They would be leaving within the hour; they were just waiting for the say to go.

They had packed their few belongings, and Zar'roc was strapped to Eragon's side.

Eragon the heard footsteps from the long flight of stairs below them long before they reached the top. Eragon thought the man that came was going to tell them they needed to leave, but, instead, the man, huffing and puffing, gasped, "Argetlam! Jormunder wished for me to tell you that Galbatorix has hatched the two eggs that were in his possession, and one of the Riders and their dragon was found near Uru'baen, and you must stop for her and take her on to Ellesmera!" Eragon stood there, eyes wide. The other two eggs had hatched? And one of the new Riders had been found? But how-

"You must hurry, Argetlam! Her brother, the other new Rider, is looking for her as we speak!" Eragon jumped into action. He swiftly mounted Saphira and they flew up and out of Farthen Dur, heading in the direction of Uru'baen.
