This is Chapter Four. Sorry it took me so long to update. I was doing lots of things. Don't forget; give to those who have none.

Katara was one day picking berries. Sokka and Aang were out gathering sticks or setting up the tent or something. Right now she didn't really care. All she wanted was to get the berries so they could have a normal dinner.

She found a large black berry bush and nearly shrieked with joy. She started picking the berries and abruptly stopped when she heard a stick snap behind her.

She whirled around and uncorked her canteen. Something shifted and the sun was blocked out. She looked up fearfully and saw Edoc'sil looming above her.

Since she did not known the dragon well, she dropped the basket and ran.

Edoc'sil jumped up in the air, and clasped his front claws around her waist. He then shot out of the trees and into the sky. Even though she was captured, she had to admire the view. Islands were so far below her. Then the ocean. It sparkled around her. Edoc'sil swung his head around.

I am sorry, Katara. Said a voice in her head.

"Who said that?" she cried.

Edoc'sil winced. I did. Who else?

"Wow," Katara said, amazed.

You know, you can just think it, and I will hear it. Said Edoc'sil.

Oh. Ok. Katara thought.

Would you like a more comfortable seat?

Yes!

Edoc'sil aimed downwards, and landed on an island. He let her off and let her clamber on his back, but only after catching her when she tried to run away.

Why are you doing this? Katara asked.

I was commanded to. Edoc'sil said simply.

By who? Katara pressed on.

The black dragon growled in response.

Katara looked over the side of the dragon. Wow. They were very high up. Katara felt dizzy.

Where did you come from? Katara asked.

Before the demons of hell declared war on my homeland with swords that cut open the dragon's chest and spears that pierced the dragon's wings making the dragons plummet to the ground?

Now it was Katara's turn to wince.

I came from a place not known to humans. It's where dwarves, elves and dragons lived peacefully together.

Sounds like paradise.

It was. Until the war. My mother, Saphira, and her rider Eragon transported me to this land, before the paradise turned into a living hell. Soon after I left, I was told that the war broke out between the dwarves, elves, dragons and a race of monsters called Urgals. Many were killed ruthlessly. I have not heard from my mother since.

A sad tale. I know the same feeling. My mother was killed in a Fire Nation raid. A necklace is all I have left of her. And now it's gone. Prince Zuko took it. I have not seen it since the pirates attacked.

Ah. Yes. My rider has told me about that.

How did Katrina find you?

I was transported to a mountain range near her. My egg looked like a smooth black rock. She picked it up and not soon after, I hatched. Now, two years later, I plan to take her to my homeland and have her train with the elves to perfect her riding skills so we could help the dwarves, elves, and dragons defeat the demons once and for all!

Not soon after the dragon had said this, a black ship came into view. Edoc'sil dove towards it.

After he dove, he straightened out his wings and landed gracefully on the deck. Soldiers immediately walked onto deck.

They helped Katara off the deck and restrained her. Edoc'sil looked at her with one big, blue eye. Then he took off into the air.

Katara looked up at the noise. Someone bounded onto the deck. Another person walked onto deck slower. Two people she hadn't seen in a long time. Katrina and Zuko.

"Aang, where's Katara?" Sokka asked.

"I don't know. I last saw her leaving to go pick berries. And that was like three hours ago," Aang said.

"Come on," Sokka said and walked into the forest.

They had been walked for what seemed like hours. Then Sokka turned his head around to talk and promptly fell down. After Aang finished laughing and helping Sokka up, he looked at what Sokka had tripped on. It was a basket. Katara's basket.

Ok, there's chapter four. Just if you're wondering, no one found Rayna yet. I'll update ASAP.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from the book, Eragon, either. I have made this plot up and I do not own anything about this trilogy. I do highly suggest reading the books about Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, though.

Did you know that they are coming out with the Eragon movie in December? At least I think it is December. Isn't that awesome? I can't wait.

Suggested reading: The Ranger's Apprentice by John Flanagan. I love these books.
