A/N: This chapter is a bit longer (yay!!) and thanks to the 6 reviewers at the moment!! :) Im not going to update until I get 25 reviews now (I like reviews lol), but I will be nice (sort of) and give a sneak peak of Chapter 4! Enjoy! :)

Disclaimer - Im NOT Christopher Paolini (duh) and it really should be obvious to everyone who has checked out my profile! :)

-- Eragon's POV --

Why is this room the one with the suspicious block? Is there actually something here? Since Eragon was stuck here for the time being, he might as well search. As he walked to an old chest in the room that he had only glanced over in his previous search, he kept finding himself turned away. Magic, Eragon cursed. "Jierda!". With an old groan, the chest blew open. Eragon stared in its depths and his heart soared. Now all he had to do was escape.

-- Arya's POV --

Arya looked in wonder at the emerald dragon egg she was holding in her hands. In this egg, was the last dragon to be born in the world, hopefully not forever. I wonder who it will hatch to? Could it – Arya didn't let this thought develop, but she considered it all the same. Turning the egg over, marveling at the deep green the egg was, too dark to be the colour of grass, but too light to be as dark as the trees in Du Weldenvarden. It was beautiful! There was a crack running down one side, Arya presumed that Galbatorix had lost his temper with the innocent dragon. I'll get you out of here! Eragon! Saphira! I have wonderful news!!

Arya! Have you been able to contact Eragon. I can't sense him!

Oh no! When did you last hear from him?

Before he went into the last room in the dungeons.

I will find him, you need not worry Saphira. He will be safe, I swear it. With this last thought, she carefully hid the egg in her rucksack, then made a dash for the dungeons. "Eragon?" Arya called out, but no reply was coming. Quickly searching the rooms' contents, she came to the end of the corridor. Eragon was obviously not here, but where else could he be? The last door was slightly ajar, and pushing it open, Arya saw…

-- Eragon's POV --

"Arya!! Don't come in!!" Eragon shouted, saving her from being trapped like he was, unbeknownst to the elf. Arya hissed back at him barely concealing the depths of anger and worry, "Have you been in here the entire time? Saphira – and I, she thought to herself – has been so worried! What if you were in trouble?"

"Arya, calm down! I'm fine, I just had a little trouble trying to get out of this room."

"What do you mean?"

"That's why I told you not to enter… I can't get out!"

"A block?"

"See for yourself if you don't believe me."

"Eragon….." Arya groaned appearing sad, but a moment later her face was inscrutable again, and she worked on the door. After a few minutes, and looking rather weary, she murmured "It is a blocked door no more Shadeslayer… but I fear that I am rather weak now…"

"You're never weak Arya," but Eragon had to break of early as a deafening voice entered his thoughts.

ERAGON!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! Eragon winced at feeling Saphira's anger, but replied calmly, In a bit of a pickle, or should I say room. I have news for you and Arya. Of the good sort.

I believe she has news for us too. First things first get to the roof. BEFORE I fly down there and tell Arya EXACTLY what you were thinking about her on the ride here.

You wouldn't!!

If you and Arya aren't here in 5 minutes, then I think Arya will get quite the shock don't you think?

On our way, Saphira.

"Um, Saphira wants us to go to the roof. Now." Eragon said, Saphira's words in his head. "Make haste Eragon," Arya exclaimed, "It's not wise to anger a dragon." "I know that," Eragon muttered to himself, but Arya heard and in response, rolled her eyes, and sped off, albeit slower than her usual pace. When he got to the roof, he found an interesting situation. Saphira wasn't bluffing when she said she wanted to rob Galbatorix apparently.

Saphira!

Um... I'm glad to see you were found Eragon – thankyou Arya, Saphira said, extending her thoughts to Arya.

What are you doing?

Trying to get away with this silverware… I tried to eat it, but it's given me heartburn!

Why do you want silverware?!

It looks pretty! Saphira smiled at him, revealing all of her sharp, glinting teeth.

So do many other things, but you don't take or eat them!

This is Galbatorix's. I want him to suffer, for what he did.

He will, but this isn't the right time. I promise Saphira, when the time comes, I will help you and together we will make that bastard pay. But we can't now! He is coming, and you know as well as I that we can't beat him, not yet. We need to leave as fast as we can, without the silverware, I'm afraid.

Just this one piece? Please?

Okay Saphira – Arya cut in before Eragon could speak and pointed to the horizon. With that look sent a feeling of horror and dread through him. Galbatorix was on the horizon.

A/N: As promised here is your sneak peak for Chapter 4!! :)

"Arya? What's wrong?" If only he knew.

"Go... now... without me." Arya heard herself utter those words, but they didn't seem real. In her mind, this was the only option.

Read and review, as always :)
