Chapter 3: Who I Really Am
I sat quite through the sorting and packing of my bag, but I need to know what was going on. Why I was here? What I was here to do? How did I get here? Was I to trust these people? What would they do if I didn't cooperate? How can I get home from here? What if I never got home? What if I was stuck here forever?
These thoughts went through my mind as I bathed in a small room off the place where my things had been sorted. I sat there for five minutes in the small marble sunken tub. Once I had been in there long enough to get my thoughts together and bathe, I stood to dry off.
Sedna then had me put on a white blouse, a long, soft, ankle length skirt in a light blue color, and a pair of hand made boots. Along with that I pulled a necklace out of my jewelry box. The necklace was a silver chain with a single silver bead on it. I wore the necklace with pride for it was all I had from my father, who divorced my mom when I was little. I haven't seen him since the finally day in court, when he called me the worst mistake of his life.
Sedna then had me go back into the other room and sit next to her. "Before the ceremony I feel that it is important to tell you the reason you are here, it's because, unlike what you think, you born in this time. Your mother sent you into the future as far as she could to protect you from your father. He was an evil man, and he planned to use you to gain power. It is written in a prophecy that you will do great things with the help of someone like you. You are to be a Dragon Rider and Eragon will help you to become better, but I feel you will be a natural."
"Wow." That's it that's all I could say as Sedna finished.
"That necklace was the one your father gave to your mother when they got married. She gave it to you before she sent you to the future." Sedna told me as I fiddled with my necklace.
"My future mom said my father gave it to me."
"In a way your father did give it to you, through your real mom."
"What was my mother's name?" I wondered out loud
"Her name was Susannah." Sedna answered. "She was an amazing person."
"You knew my mother?" I asked.
"Yes she was my best friend, and she was an elf, too." Sedna said with a smile.
"I'm an elf!" I screamed.
"Only half elf, because your father was just a man."
"Who was my father?"
Sedna looked a little worried, "I'm sorry, I don't know, all the prophecy say is that he was a man of power, so he could be a lot of people. And your mother never told me, I guess she was too ashamed."
"Anything else? Like, what was my birth name?" I asked wanting to know more.
"The name your mother gave you was Rosenthal, but if you want to keep the name Kacie it's fine with me."
"Rosenthal! How 'bout we just stay with Kacie." I said, smiling.
"In the ceremony you will be called Rosenthal, and by people in the city, but to friends you can be Kacie." Sedna said standing and offering me a hand to help me up. I stood with Sedna's help and dusted the back of my new skirt off.
"After the ceremony you, me and Eragon will get your sword and bow from the blacksmith shop. Now we better head over to where the ceremony will be held." Sedna said picking up my shoulder bag and handing it to me.
"What's the ceremony for?" I asked, curiously as I accepted the bag from Sedna.
"It's so you can get your dragon." Sedna said, her voice was pure joy. "That's the highest honor anyone can receive."
"Cool." I said.
Sedna open the door and entered the hall way with me close behind. What kind of dragon? What will I name my dragon? How long before we can fly together? What if my dragon doesn't like me? What the dragon look like? I wondered as I followed Sedna to where ever she was going, I never paid attention.
Finally we entered a large hall full of people and dwarves. Sedna pushed her way through the large crowd looking for Eragon. I bumped into many people as I tried to keep up with Sedna. All of the dwarves I bumped gave me evil looks, and the people just ignored me.
Sedna found Eragon, after an eternity of me bumping into people. Eragon was standing with a young man only a few years older than himself. The two were deep in conversation, when Sedna and I joined them.
"Murtagh, don't worry about it, okay." Eragon was saying to the other man who was named Murtagh.
"Sure, it'll be okay?" Murtagh asked.
"Yes, I'm sure."
"How long before the ceremony begins?" Sedna asked Eragon.
"Any time now." Eragon said looking at Sedna.
The young man standing with Eragon looked at me, before walking over to where I stood. "Hi, I'm Murtagh." He said sticking his hand out for me to shake.
I took his hand shacking it firmly saying, "I'm Rosenthal, nice to meet you." I didn't tell him my other name because I had a funny felling in my stomach. (A/N: You know the feeling I'm talking about. We have all had it.)
"Welcome everyone," came a woman's voice over the sound of the crowd. "It is time for the ceremony."
A/N: another cliff hanger for all of my readers out there.
