Disclaimer: I don't own a thing from the Inheritance Cycle, maybe just a bit of my story Plot and Anitchka, the island, and that's it. Thanks to NN2

Time flies by and can't be stooped, thought Anitchka as she started at her book, she was tired of acting so educated, she desire to be like before. Wild and rude and of free spirited and mind, always speaking her thoughts no matter the consequences. Anitchka closed the book with a loud thump and went to her wardrobe and change her dress for a light brown shirt and matching pants, and a pair of black boots. She went to the stables while putting her hair into a neat bun.

When she arrive she found her favorite horse, it was name Sugar, although it was very temperamental, "Hello Sugar, did you missed me?" she asked her while she place the riding chair on its back. She nods with her hair, and let her put the chair on. Anitchka hated the women chair; she always preferred the man's chair over the women chair. Many noble girls said she was a blotchy, they were jealous. By being how she was she always pended more time with the best looking boys, while the rest of girls no. always molesting about the dirt, or the sun was going to burn them, or that they were going to fast for them. Boys always prefer her, though she bested them in archery, sometimes in swordfight, and in fistfight.

As she rode through the open pains she felt free, almost like flying, Sugar was one of the fastest, difficult to saddle, but not to her as she went farther into the countryside, she saw a childhood friend, Stacy, one of the few that comprehended her. "Hey Stacy!" she screamed, Stacy turned and faced her, her waist long brown hair was cut up to her elbow, "Anitchka," she ran toward her and waited for her to unmount Sugar, "How have you been?" she asked as she embraced her. "Fine and you?" she asked her.

"Oh, the same come let us ride," she said as she mounted her white horse. "I heard you got engage," said Stacy as they started to gain speed, "To whom may I ask?" Anitchka shook her head and laughed a bit, "Murtagh, Murtagh Morzanson." she said and change course toward the beach. "You got to be lying," Stacy called from behind, "I heard he is in Alagaesia." Anitchka nodded, "Is, not was. So I'm to move there," far from everyone I know. Stacy looked at her, "I'm not letting you go alone," Anitchka loved Stacy as a sister, when they were toddlers Stacy and her use to play mother and daughter. Stacy was the mother due to the fact that she had a crushed on her father, long ago.

"I'm not going alone; some guards are coming with me. Besides I know how to handle a sword, I can fight." She said. "I know, but it would be so sad to see you parting again," Stacy paused and looked down and pated her horse, "would you let me visit you?" she asked. "Of course any time you wish," Anitchka looked at the sea, "I only hope he that he is chivalrous, but not that much. Just that he gives me my space, and doesn't try to protect me. Nor watch me a t all time," Stacy nodded, "Not to be like a father, how many years is he ahead of you?" she asked as she tied her hair, "I think that they are like two or three." They continue riding in silence, until Stacy had an idea, "How about throwing you a goodbye party?" Anitchka smiled and laughed a bit, "For know," continue Stacy, "How about a race, from here to the orangery?"

Anitchka looked at her puzzle, "But that is like five hours from here." Stacy nod, "I know, I wanted to see if you are in shape, or are you scare?" Anitchka stare at her grimly, "The looser will skirt the oranges and make to glasses of juice." Stacy prepared for their horse-race, "Deal, "she said, "At the count of…now!" she said and started galloping Anitchka closed behind.

They continue on, for two hours until Anitchka got the race head and arrived seven minutes before Stacy. "I win," she declared and got of the horse, "Go make the juice Stacy, I'll wait for you inside." When she entered the orangery, and mull over the place, it was warm pleasantly warm, it smelled like heaven. It was full of herbs and other plants, she sat bellow the biggest tree, and felt asleep.

"Anitchka! Wake up! Please!" scream Stacy. Anitchka woke up with a scream, Stacy started to shout, "What's wrong?!?!" asked Anitchka. "You scare me!" Stacy screamed to her, Anitchka touched her beating heart, "What happened?" Stacy handed the glass of juice, "You fell asleep, I tried to wake you up, with no luck until I started to scream." She paused and sat near her, "I was talking with the astronomer, and he says there is a coming storm." They both drank from their glasses, "And we must return to the palace, it will begin raining soon," said Stacy as she looked at the glass roof. "Yes," sais Anitchka, "We better get going now," she said as she headed toward the horses, they mounted them and rode to the palace.

When they were some four meters it started to rain, light at first but then it stronger, "Faster!" screamed Stacy as haze moved on. They made it wet, but luckily once inside the stables, the rain started to hit heavier. "Gee, that the hell was that?" asked Anitchka to one in particular. "I don't know but that was a sudden change," She said as she got of the horse. "Indeed," said Anitchka. "Well, I have to leave," said Stacy, "My mother will kill me if she knows I'm wet, be I hope to see you later,"she said and walk toward the castle.

I rubbed my horse and walked toward the room, while walking I noticed that my breeches were soil with black dirt. Great, I thought and continue walking, when I arrived at the door, the thunders started to shook the earth, but what scared her the most was her mother, whom by strange faith was looking for her inside of her room, "Anitchka! O my, where have you been?" askd her mother as she entered the room. "Riding," she simply answer.

"I have news," she said as she open her bathroom, "Due to the weather," Anitchka heard the water running, "You will have to leave today at midnight," she came to the room again, "The shaman says that the rains are to continue for at least two more hours." she cupped her face and kissed her cheek. "My girl, go get a bath and get ready." she said as left the room. "Go get reay," mimicked Anitchka, "As if I don't know my responsabilities." She said as she got into the tub. Warm water for her shore muscles.

After an hour or so she got out and put on a brown dress, it had a square neck, with a black line that went across the dress diagonally. She grabbed her brown boots and waited for the soldiers, once they had arrive the sky had turned a dark color. And the thundering continued. At the time they had rechead the port her father was there, "Anitchka you are to be acompanied by captaian Fabert,"he said and embrace her with all his love, "Here have this he said as he handed her another sword, it was also one and a half sword. "This sword is two in one," he said and then separated them.

Then he gaved me a dagger with my name on it, "I had it sharped with magic so it will never lose its sharp. I now you hate jewels, but." he said as he grabbed a black wooden box, "But, I couldn't resist myself," he open it, inside there was a purple gemstone necklace, it was coneced with rubies and silver threads. "Thanks dad, I will take care of it," Anitchka said as she touched the stones.

"Excellent," he embraced her again and helped her into the ship, "PLease give Galbatorix a salute from my part," he kissed her brow, "Please take care and write, attached it to a pigeon, and say 'To my father' and he will arrive." He mutter in her ear. Got down the boat and wave her goodbye, he watched as the boat became, a tiny dot in the horizon. On board, Anitchka checked that all her luggage was in order; with a lo of troubles she managed to fetl aslep.

Anitchka POV

I talk to the captain, this ships are fast, really fast. But so fast that the league and a half that separates are our island from Alagaesia is to be cross in less than five hours, I can't but have this horrible trepidation fear. Well, actually I can already see the land, its silhouet. I feel so weird, alien to myself, my new life will soon begin. I didn't felt that excited, why should I?

I continue to stare at the land until the port was visible, a sailo spoke to me from his eagle nest, "Welcome to Alagaesia."

"Thanks," I screamed back, though a bit sacarstic. For the first time, I whish for tomorrow start without me.
