I woke up and went to the camp and found Shrrgnien guarding the camp. I didn't see Saphira or Arya anywhere so I heightened my sense of hearing so I knew where they were. I then went into the forest and leapt into the tree and caught sight of the Saphira and Arya sitting side by side watching the horizon. A moment later Eragon came into view and sat next to Saphira. He sat there a while, looked at Arya and back.

I jumped out of the tree and landed behind everyone. Everyone was startled but saw me and looked back to witness the last few moments. "This is what makes my wandering days worth while. There may be some bad times but you can always be assured to look forward to something like this."

They both looked at me but I was just smiling and looking at the colors in the sky. "Yes," whispered Arya although I think it was unintentional, she meant it.

We packed up and started moving on. While on the paddling I took a few glances at Eragon and one in a while he would have the grin on his face. There was not much to do so we kept going down the river.

We continued down the stream with Eragon asking questions the whole way. I just sat there and did as I was told.

After a while I got bored and decided to stretch out my powers. Without any warning I hopped into the water came up and said I was going to take a dip. Everybody said it was ok so I just dove in.

I swam out of sight of the boat entered the woods and jumped. Using the energy I can muster up I boosted myself and soared through the air.

I was finally free. Flying was truly refreshing. I made sure to stay away from the river so that I was not seen. All of a sudden a large blue object headed my way. Saphira hovered right in front of me and looked astonished.

What are you doing up here? I didn't know your kind can fly. She asked. I didn't think that an astonished dragon wasn't something you see everyday but I can still see it on her face.

"I specially trained myself for this kind of thing and I can do a lot more. No don't tell anybody. You must promise me this." I said "Now let's see what you can do against another flier."

As soon as I said those words I dove down and Saphira pursued. Her first attack was to be expected. A burst of blue flame emanated from her mouth but I quickly dodged it and threw a red energy ball. It wasn't lethal but I would still sting. It hit her square in the chest while trying to pull up.

You didn't tell me you could do that! She scolded

"You didn't ask," I laughed and flew straight.

I went past her and loosed another ball of energy. She countered with fire and they both exploded with a soft bang on contact. I was waiting for her to come through the smoke but nothing came. Suddenly to the right of me Saphira was nose diving at me at an alarming rate.

I tried to maneuver myself out of the way but it was too late. She got me right in the gut. I went tumbling down. I tried slowing myself but I was going down too fast. Saphira went passed me and caught me in mid air.

"That was a nice move. I never saw that coming," I said while rubbing my aching stomach.

I know she said.

I don't think they saw me leave or on Saphira's back as we dove into the water. I got out and my fellow adventurers helped me on the boat.

"Did you have a good swim?" Eragon said. He was eyeing me suspiciously. I figured Saphira must have told him something before I made her swear under oath.

"Why yes I did. You should try it, it's quite refreshing," I said in a happy mood.

Saphira and I discussed of when we should train again and we decided that it would be a good Idea to train at Ellesmera once we get there.
