italic words are telapathic (sp?) conversations
Rowan held on around Eragon's waist as they galloped through the hills of Alagaesia. Brom wasn't far in front of them, and Saphira was flying overhead keeping a keen eye on the goings on of what happened down below. For this moment Rowan felt safe she was with Eragon and Brom a place she has longed to be ever since she first read the book. But where in the story was she? Clearly Brom was still alive and Arya and Murtagh were nowhere to be seen but that could mean just about anywhere.
Eragon quickly looked over his shoulder at Rowan. "How you feeling back there?" he asked.
Rowan couldn't even put how she was feeling into words. She was wonderful; she was living her fairy tale dream. But she couldn't tell Eragon that. It would make him ask questions she didn't want to answer those questions just yet. So she chose the safest answer she could. "I am fine," she said out loud.
"Good. Hey Brom," he yelled ahead. "The sun is going down don't you think we should stop?" Eragon asked.
Brom looked back, "Yes we should. Tell Saphira we are going to find shelter." Brom yelled. He headed into the trees.
Eragon followed. His voice echoed in Rowan's mind. Saphira we are going to find shelter. I will tell you where we are when we find it okay?
Saphira's answer came a few seconds later, Yes little one.
"You may need to duck for some of the branches are lower than others," he said to Rowan without looking over his shoulder.
She leaned her head against his back. "I'll just duck behind you and you can get hit with the branches." Rowan laughed.
Eragon laughed too, his laugh was so musical and lighting. "Or I can duck and you'd get hit with the branch."
Rowan just rested her head on his back. She could feel his muscles flex under his clothes as she her head touched them. Life can't get any better than this! She thought to herself.
Eragon flinched, What did you say Saphira? Eragon's voice entered Rowan's head once again.
I didn't say anything Eragon. Surely you know my voice from someone else's. Saphira said.
I do Saphira. But it sounded familiar but not. Like I have heard it before just not many times before. Eragon's voice was laced with confusion.
Did you ever think it could be Rowan's voice? Saphira asked.
Eragon pondered this for a minute. It could be. He looked back at Rowan who smiled trying to look like she couldn't hear their conversation. Why would you say that?
Because I can tell she is different from other people. Saphira answered.
Different? What do you mean different? Eragon questioned.
Do you remember when you looked at yourself through my eyes? You had a blue aura about you right? Well Rowan that same blue aura about her except it is purple. Saphira announced.
You think she is destined to be a dragon rider? Eragon asked. I mean surely Galbatorix would have more than one egg lying around. He's got to have another one. Eragon suggested.
She might become a dragon rider. Rowan thought about this, He did have more than just Saphira's egg. He had Thorn's and another one. She didn't even think that Eragon and Saphira could hear her thoughts.
Rowan is that you? Eragon's voice was no louder than a whisper. She could tell it was hard for him to understand that they could all hear each other's thoughts.
Rowan bit her lip. Yes it is. I didn't mean to seriously. You two were talking and I tried to block you out but I couldn't. I didn't even know it was happening at first. Rowan confided.
What were you saying about the eggs? Eragon asked calmly.
Eggs? What eggs are you talking about? Rowan tried to play it off as if she didn't know what he was saying.
You know what eggs. You said something about Saphira's egg and Thorn's egg and you said there was another one. He had another one. Wait who is Thorn? Eragon's words tumbled into her mind like a waterfall.
Eragon I was just talking to myself. I didn't mean you or Saphira to hear any of it. Rowan said in a rush.
"What are you two doing?" Brom's voice flooded the air around the two. At this they noticed that Cadoc had stopped while they were arguing. "Eragon we need to make camp. There is a clearing up ahead you just need to get there." Brom said. He frowned. "Why were you stopped anyway?"
"No reason. We're coming, hold on." Eragon looked over his shoulder at Rowan. Just because Brom interrupted doesn't mean you are let go I want to know what you were saying as soon as we make camp. Is that understood Rowan? Rowan merely nodded. Eragon turned back and followed Brom into the clearing where they made camp for the night.
As soon as the horses were unpacked and tied down Eragon's voice reentered Rowan's head, Saphira he said, You can come to us now. We've made camp. Rowan are you listening? He looked over at Rowan who sat under a tree by Brom who was trying to get the fire to light.
I can't not listen you, you are projecting right in my head, she answered kindly.
We will need to deal with that later. Saphira come here. He showed her were they had set up camp and then turned to Brom. "Brom you are the dragon expert. Can any one listen in on a conversation you are having with your dragon? Even if they are a potential dragon rider?" he asked aloud.
"Eragon what are you talking about?" Brom looked up from the small fire he had managed to kindle.
"Well can a potential dragon rider listen in another rider and his dragon's thoughts?" Eragon asked. Rowan could tell it took all of his strength not to yell.
"I have never heard of it happening. But perhaps it could happen. It would be very rare and the rider and their dragon would have to be very weak or the person listening would have to be very strong." Brom answered.
"Right. Well I don't think it could happen anyway," Eragon shrugged it off. Just then Saphira landed in the middle of the clearing quite gracefully. Welcome back Saphira. Eragon said.
I am glad to see you up close again my Rider. Saphira cooed. Rowan do you know how you are listening to Eragon and my thoughts?
I haven't a clue Saphira. Truly I don't. I wish I did because I shouldn't be listening to your thoughts. Rider's and their dragon's thoughts should be private, no one should be able to listen in on them. Rowan said humbly.
Good answer smarty-pants. Eragon snorted. He seemed irritated by Rowan's connection with Saphira. Why do you think we should believe you? You show up out of nowhere and just happen to be able to talk to Saphira though thought speech. It all seems a bit fishy to me.
Look Eragon I don't know how we can talk to each other like this but we can. I didn't ask for it and I don't want it. I truly think that you and Saphira should be able to talk to each other without anyone listening. Rowan sounded distraught. If I had a dragon I would want our thoughts keep from the rest of the world too.
Eragon she is telling the truth. You must believe her. It isn't her fault that she can hear our thoughts it is just a power she posses there is nothing she can do to change it. Saphira's voice was calming and sensitive. Do you trust me not to make a mistake like this?
Yes I do. But it doesn't mean I like it. I'd rather our thoughts be kept to ourselves. Eragon sat down by Saphira as she curled up into a ball. "Brom I just realized something. We don't have an extra bedroll for Rowan." Eragon voiced aloud.
"Well that is just a shame for Rowan. Maybe she should have come prepared." Brom said with his eyes closed as if he was already asleep. He started laughing at his own joke.
"That is not very kind Brom." Eragon defend Rowan. He looked over at her and smiled. It was like he had completely forgotten about their telepathic fight that was held moments before.
Rowan smiled back, "It is alright Eragon. I'll be fine. Thanks for the concern though." Rowan slid down the tree that her back was resting against until she was lying flat out. "I promise I'll be fine." She closed her eyes and fell asleep immediately.
Eragon signed. Saphira what should I do? I don't want her to freeze but I will freeze if I give her my bedroll.
I'll keep you warm little one. Give your bedroll to Rowan so she doesn't freeze. Saphira said.
Eragon walked over to where Rowan lay and draped his bedroll over her sleeping form. That is better. Eragon walked back over to Saphira and lay down next to her. His head resting on one of her front paws.
That night Rowan's dream went like this. She was walking around trying to figure out where she was. Where am I? she thought. All she knew was that she was in a large castle nothing more. Then the thought crossed her dreaming mind What if I am in Galbatorix's castle? It was a brilliant thought for right after she thought it she came into view of two stones sitting on the ground with people starting to crowd around them. One stone was red Thorn's egg Rowan though, and the other a vibrant violet. That must be the other dragon's egg. Rowan insisted. Eragon said I might be a dragon rider. So maybe that is my dragon's egg. Oh I hope it is. I'd love to have a purple dragon. I wonder if it is a boy or a girl. These thoughts ran through her mind while she dreamed. Just then someone was calling her name "Rowan… Rowan wake up…" It was Eragon's voice.
Rowan opened her eyes as Eragon finished saying her name. She rubbed the sleep away from her crystal blue eyes and looked up at Eragon. "What is it? I was having a good dream," Rowan yawned still a bit drowsy. When she sat up a blanket fell from her front. When did I get a blanket? she asked herself.
Saphira thought you might get cold so I gave you my bedroll. Eragon smiled down at her.
"Thanks." Rowan said aloud. She looked around the clearing it was still dark outside. "Why did you wake me up anyway?" she asked.
"I thought you might want to take a look at this. It just arrived by magic." Eragon pointed to the middle of the clearing.
Rowan pushed the bedroll off of herself and got up. She walked to where Eragon was pointing and looked down. It was the violet stone from her dreams. This couldn't be, she must be dreaming still. The stone couldn't be here it was at Galbatorix's castle, not here with her and Saphira and Eragon.
"Looks like we have a new rider on out hands." Eragon laughed. "Unless that isn't an egg." He looked over a Saphira.
No, that is another egg. Saphira said confidently. But will it hatch for her?
Eragon thought over this question. "Rowan I think it is meant for you. Go on don't be afraid. Had I been afraid we wouldn't be here right now." He laughed again.
Rowan took a cautious step toward the egg. It hadn't moved. She took a few more steps toward it, until she was right next to it. She leaned down and touched the cool, smooth, violet colored surface. She ran her hand over the length of the stone. It was gorgeous. Even more so than what she pictured Saphira's egg to look like. She knocked on the hard surface; a clear, clean, musical note filled the campsite. This was defiantly an egg.
Rowan wanted to pick it up but as soon as she started to she heard a crack. It was hatching for her. Rowan stepped back from the egg and watched as a crack ran from one side of it to the next. Suddenly the crack was bigger and bigger. Then the egg erupted from the inside out and all that was left was a baby dragon. The dragon was the same violet color as its egg.
Rowan reached her right hand out to the baby dragon that touched its head to her palm. A bright light emitted from their contact. Energy flew up Rowan's right arm and ran all the way through her body. It was painful but a good pain not an agonizing pain. The light disappeared as fast as it came; all that was left was Eragon blinking a lot, Rowan holding on to her new purple dragon, and the mark of a dragon rider left on Rowan's right palm.
Suddenly Brom was awake and looking around madly. "What the hell happened?" he asked. His eyes fell on Rowan who had her back to him. "You," he accused.
Eragon looked at Brom, who was scrambling to get to Rowan, "Brom calm down nothing is wrong. Quite the opposite if I am correct." Eragon laughed.
Rowan looked up at Eragon who was standing over her. Her look was of confusion and utter happiness. She hugged her dragon who squeaked from the hug. Hunger washed over Rowan like a running river. "You must be hungry aren't you little one?" she looked down at her dragon.
Eragon heard this and walked over to his pack. He grabbed some dry meat out of it and commenced cutting it up. "Here you go Rowan," He handed her a few pieces of the cut meat.
Rowan took it and began feeding her dragon. When all the meat had passed from Eragon's hands to Rowans and into the purple baby dragon's mouth, the baby decided to curl up and go to sleep.
Brom was still angry. "What did you do? How did the egg get here? How is she the next dragon rider? She isn't even from Alagaesia." The questions flew out of his mouth so fast that Rowan couldn't even think.
"I don't know how the egg got here. I was dreaming about being in Galbatorix's castle and I was the egg and another red one, then Eragon was waking me up telling me that it arrived here by magic." Rowan answered calmly stroking her dragon as it slept in her lap. "As for how I am the next dragon rider. Brom you should know about dragon's better than us all other than Saphira of course that the dragon picks its rider not the other way around." Rowan stopped there not wanting to go any further into the fact that she wasn't from Alagaesia.
"Well if you are a dragon rider also then we will need to train you up as well. You will need gloves to cover that thing up and you will need a horse." Brom said unsurely. "I believe the next town is about a half days ride from here. Your dragon will need to learn how to fly and will need to learn fast so the Saphira can watch over it while we are on the ground." Brom said. "We also need to go back to sleep. We will need our rest." He walked back over to his bedroll and lay back down.
What has gotten into him? Rowan asked Eragon.
Eragon shrugged and walked back over to Saphira who hadn't moved though out the whole ordeal. Night Rowan Dragon Rider Eragon laughed and lay back down by Saphira.
Rowan the Dragon Rider I like that. She thought to herself. Rowan the great Dragon Rider. Eragon was still laughing as she thought this to herself.
I think that Rowan the Great Dragon Rider is a good name a young, sleepy male's voice entered Rowan's head.
Rowan looked at the purple dragon sleeping on her lap. So you're a male. That is good to know. But what is your name my young dragon? She asked the small animal that was curled up tight. He was really worm sting on her legs.
My name is Xavier, the young male voice said yawning.
I like the name Xavier. One of my favorite boy names there are. Rowan praised. She could feel the happiness seep into her though Xavier's small body. Good night Xavier. She reached over and pulled Eragon's bedroll to her. She covered her shoulders and her upper body with it. Her lower body was being heated by the baby dragon in her lap, who she didn't want to wake up by moving to much.
