A/N: Awwwww I submitted this yesterday and already I'm on people's story alerts and favourites!! Thanks to The Sun Also Rises for being my first reviewer :)
Since you guys were soooo nice, I decided to post the 2nd chapter! (Yaaaaaay!!)

Disclaimer - I'm NOT Christopher Paolini (duh), I would be richer (or so I like to think!)

-- Arya's POV --

The quick footsteps hitting stone was the sound that filled Arya's ears. Barzûl! I haven't found anything of interest yet. She had searched much of this floor, all in the span of a few minutes. Her quick running had saved an incredible amount of time, but she still had much to go.

The next room she visited looked exactly the same as the previous treasury rooms. Does he even look at the amount of gold here? How much was sto- Arya broke of with a gasp, when she realised that there was something different about this room. "Naina," Arya whispered, and a small globe of light lit up the room. A green glint caught her eye, but she ignored it, expanding her consciousness out into the world. She could sense a vast presence in the room nearby. She looked at the green glint again, probing her consciousness out very slightly, and took a sharp intake of breath when she realised, she had found what they were looking for.

-- Eragon's POV --

Have you found anything yet Saphira?

No, it's quite bare up here.

Same here. It's horrible, the way he keeps people here. The stench, it's disgusting. Not to mention I can feel their pain, their suffering, but I can't help yet, for fear that Galbatorix will know we were here.

We will be back here one day, able to help. We shall make Galbatorix curse the day he heard our names!

I'm sure he already does, but we will come back. With this Eragon returned to himself and continued with his task. He had searched most of this floor and had nothing to show for it. He neared the end of the corridor, and realised that he was almost finished. About time, Eragon thought with joy. What is about time?

The fact that I am looking at the last blasted room that I have to search in!

Have you found anything little one?

This is the lower bit of the castle, nothing at all, except rotting bones and tormented souls.

Do not let that trouble your consciousness now. I shall tell Arya that you are finished.

I love you, Saphira.

As I love you, Little One. Make haste!

Eragon broke contact again, and realised that this room was slightly different. Probing his consciousness towards the door, he quickly found that no matter what he did, the door was blocking him. How is that possible? Quickly he resorted to the most basic of ways to get through, he turned the knob, wary of a mental attack. Surprisingly, it wasn't locked, but he saw nothing of the extraordinary. Conducting a quick search through the room revealed nothing of interest as well. Just as Eragon turned to leave, he walked into thin air. Saphira?

There was no response.

Arya?

The elven princess didn't respond to his plea.

Arya? Saphira?

Silence.

It slowly dawned on Eragon that he really shouldn't have just wandered in this room.

A/N: What has Arya found (cough look at summary cough cough)? What is in the room? I know another short chapter, but I've wrote a bit, and trying to work out how to divide sorta evenly lol. Read and review, as always :)
