A/N: I'm so, so, so sorry it took me this long to update. I have no clue what happened, I guess I just wasn't paying attention to how fast I update my stories. But, I'll try to be quicker from now on.

Thank you so much to everyone who reviewed.

Chapter 2:

'I think that this mission may actually be impossible, Thorn,' Murtagh told his ruby dragon.

It had been a few weeks since he and Thorn had began their mission to find the next rider for the emerald green dragon in the last dragon egg known in existence.

They had been to many different places looking for the right person. Yet, they haven't been found.

'it can't be,' replied Thorn, 'There has to be someone in all of Alagaesia meant to be a rider. We just haven't found the right person yet.'

'I guess you're right. I just wish it wasn't taking so long.'

'Well, of course I'm right,' thorn told Murtagh.

'Yes, you're right and arrogant,' Murtagh shot back.

Thorn didn't bother to say anything back to his companion.

After a while, Murtagh told Thorn, 'Let's stop in the Spine for tonight, set up camp, rest, and continue our search tomorrow.'

'Very well,' answered Thorn.

Not long afterwards, Thorn landed in a clearing that had plenty of room to fit a dragon that they had discovered.

After setting up a small camp and eating a quick supper, Murtagh said a few words to Thorn then fell into a somewhat peaceful sleep.

The sun shone brightly throught the slightly small window in the nearly tiny hut that Samantha lived in.

'I thought in a large forest with probably more trees then there are numbers doesn't see much sun,' she thought groaning in annoyance as she woke from her slumber.

'I guess it's time to rise and shine,' she thought, sourly.

Sam was definitely not a morning person.

she thought back to some rumors she heard in a small town that was about fifteen miles away from her home. It was the town that was closest to her home. She had to go there to buy things she needed, like food.

She heard someone mentioning something about some rider who recently became that, who was loyal to Galbatorix.

He was apparently on a mission to find another rider.

'Nice. There aren't going to be only two power – hungry madmen who have extremely massive power, but three,' thought Sam, somewhat cynically.

She climbed out of her bed, got dressed, and buckled her sword onto her belt.

She wore a blck tunic, matching leggings, and old, worn out boots. Sam rarely ever wore dresses because they simply just didn't fit in with her lifestyle at all.

After she finished her daily morning routine, she decided to go for a short walk outside.

She ended up reaching an extremely large clearing.

Sam's mouth dropped wide open at the sight she saw.

There in the clearing was a handsome man who appeared to be about her age, possibly even a year or two older, with a large ruby colored dragon.

"What the hell?" Sam said, entirely shocked.

"Hello," the man said.

It took every single bit of Samantha's will power to not completely loose it right there and start acting like a complete lunatic.

A/N: I'm sorry if that was too short. I'm trying to make the chapters longer, but I have serious problems with that. I'll try to update soon, but I also have issues on updating fast.

WAS THIS GOOD, OKAY, BAD, DID IT JUST PLAIN SUCK? PLEASE LET ME KNOW! PLEASE REVIEW!
