Chapter 3

Eragon looked about his strange surroundings. It was a outlandish corridor. The walls were a cream colour and the floor was a dirty cream. A potted plant was beside a wall. A large doorway was before him. He knew he was dreaming. It was all hazy , and he could hear Roran , Saphira and Arya calling him from afar. Yet he wouldn't wake up. The large door before him made him curious. He heard a voice announcing the arrival of a plane.

What's a plane? He wondered, excited and curious at the mysterious voice. Eragon walked over to the door. He was about to open the door when a man walked up beside him. Eragon was shocked. The man was identical to himself. The only difference were the man's strange clothes. He carried a bag over his shoulder. He was grinning cheerfully. Eragon watched him push the door open and followed him out, with a crowd of other strange people.

Eragon was shocked to see a group of teenagers and a woman run up to the man. Eragon smiled softly as the teenagers all hugged and greeted the man. His eyes froze on the woman. Something strange was going on. She was the spitting image of Arya. He knew those emerald eyes anywhere….

Eragon examined the woman and man's children. Their only daughter was beautiful, with long brown hair and turquoise eyes. She wore a long black shirt, dress thing with a pair of light blue trousers and a black hat. Her eyelashes were covered in black substance. Eragon was surprised at how strange the clothes were. The oldest of the teenagers was wearing a short sleeved shirt with no collar, that was red, and the same sort of trousers as the girl. He had brown hair. There were two identical twins, with black hair, and strange blue jackets and baggy trousers, a tall boy around the girls age with blonde hair, and a boy with black hair , who stood away from the rest of the teens, scowling.

What caught Eragon's eye, was the youngest of them staring at him. He was frowning, confused by Eragon. Eragon blinked. The boy was the only one who seemed to notice him. Many people walked past him, not even acknowledging his existence, yet this boy stared. He had short black hair, brown eyes, wore a black hooded jumper, the blue trousers and had a black eye and several cuts on his face. Eragon took a deep breath and spoke.

"Where am I?" The boy looked at him. Eragon repeated himself.

"Where am I?" The boy looked at the other people around him before walking towards Eragon. "Why are you talking to me?" the boy muttered. Eragon cocked his head. "You are the only one that can see me. I think," Eragon dared to say.

The boy looked bewildered. "I don't think…." Eragon shook his head. "This is a strange dream….." he muttered. The boy cocked his head taking a step back. "What are you on about? Everything here is real.."

Eragon was about to reply when he jolted upright in the healers tent. Roran was by his side. "Your awake!" Eragon looked around, completely distraught. He shuddered. The room was freezing. He looked around. "The boy…….." he whispered. Saphira's head snaked into the tent. What boy little one? Eragon shook his head. He had to have been dreaming. But it was the most realistic dream Eragon had ever had…

Eragon clambered out of bed, sore in most of his joints. Roran grabbed him. "Where do you think your going?" Roran exclaimed. Eragon pulled away. "I need to speak to master Glaedr." He slid past Saphira, put into the dark night. I must have slept for an age.. He thought, running to his tent. He was bare foot, so the hard stone grazed his feet, but he kept running. Saphira flew over head, filling his head with questions.

Eragon ran into his tent over to his bag. He carefully opened, and withdrew his masters heart of hearts. Reaching out with his mind, Eragon said ,Master Glaedr? The old dragon grunted. What is it Eragon? I have had this dream master…. Eragon said. Oh? Eragon recalled his dream to both Glaedr and Saphira, nervous. Glaedr was silent.

That is a strange dream even by your dream's standard, Little one, muttered Saphira. I do not believe it was a dream. muttered Glaedr. Eragon and Saphira waited patiently for the old dragon to continue. Unlike most of your dreams, Eragon, you seemed perfectly aware of what you were doing. And the boy said it was real so I am guessing….this was a dream of the future…or of another world. Saphira snorted. Another world? Master, how could there be another world … another land maybe, but world….

Glaedr sighed. Our world is not the only world. Some elves believe in worlds parallel to our own, as many have had visions of this world. Some have seen steal carts that move without horses, others steel birds with no need to flap their wings. Eragon was shocked. He had never heard of anything like this before. But now that he had……What was the reason of him seeing the boy?

Chapter 2

Alex groaned in the back as Eamon and Adam pushed against him and Will , who were stuck sharing a seat in the middle. Ren was stuck in the back with Lucas and their dog, Leo, and Jake was in the front with their mother. "Mum, they're doing it again!" shouted Will. Ren kicked him through the gap between their two seats. "Shut up, rat!" Their mother gave a sigh. "Ren, don't kick your brother, no matter how much you want to. Will , I'd get on your brother's good side while you can, Eamon and Adam, I'm warning you for the last time……. We're going to pick your father up smiling happily. We haven't seen him in two months. That means no FIGHTING!"

Alex bit his lip. Their mother never usually got angry, but there father had been representing their government in a poor country. He was excited to see him again. There was an awkward silence. It was broken by Jake turning around and speaking. "You guys, and girl, should be a bit more considerate. I am shocked," he murmured. Alex blushed. Ren gave a loud, disbelieving noise.

"Ha! Your only saying that because you don't want to get stuck between me and Lucas on the way back. You just as immature as me. Well…On some level you are. I remember you before these idiots were around." Jake scowled at her. Alex laughed. Eamon and Adam looked at him , eyes wide. Will elbowed him. Alex winced at Jake's piercing gaze. He forgot Ren was the only one who ever spoke back to Jake and wasn't killed.

They were interrupted by the car pulling into a car parking space at the airport. Leo gave an excited bark from Lucas' lap. "Finally!" said Lucas. They filed out of the car. Ren came and stood beside him. He was so much younger than the rest of them, that he found it hard to follow their conversations. They followed there mother towards the airport.

"I hate airports…"growled Ren. Alex shook his head. "Ren, that's a ridiculous fear. Airports, for god's sake!" he sighed. She glared at him. "its better than being scared of butterflies." Alex grinned. "That's Will, not me," he laughed. She shrugged. "I know. And I don't fear airports, I just dislike being treated like a cow in a herd." He laughed again. They walked into the arrivals building. There was one large doorway, a cafeteria and some shops, including a games arcade. Ren walked with Jake to the shop and Eamon, Adam and Lucas walked to the games arcade. Will went and waited at the large doorway, and Alex went with his mother to sit down.

He watched his siblings from his seat. "Why don't you join them?" his mother asked gently. He looked at her. "I don't want my as- but kicked in the arcade and I don't want to give Jake the chance to kill me. I'll join them later," he explained. "What about Will?" Alex blushed and stared at his tattered converse uncomfortably. " We…don't get on too well." His mother ruffled his hair. "You'd want to make an effort with your brother and sister Alex. They won't be around here for long. Jake will go to college. Ren will probably become well known and famous, knowing her, Lucas will become the great hockey player, Will…. Whatever he wants, the twins .. Something unusual, and then you'll be stuck with your father and I." He nodded. "I know. But that won't be for ages. They won't leave yet."

She hugged him. "I know that, but I would still treasure your time with them. I'm an only child. You don't know how lucky you are to have them.." They were interrupted by a voice announcing his fathers flight. His siblings ran over to them as the doors opened………..
