I have got nothing to say except enjoy. I have no idea if anyone has reviewed as I have posted this chapter at the same time as the last. Oh, yeah. I forgot a disclaimer on the last 2 Chapters. Heres a triple disclaimer.

DISCLAIMER TIMES 3: I do not own anything remotely related to Middle Earth or Alageasia, they belong to the geniuses that are Tolkien and Paolini. I only own my jokes and new lines. But hey, a girl can dream!!! :D

Chapter 2 What now?

Arya's POV

I awoke to near-blinding pain in my head and shoulder. I heard people moving around me and realized that my eyes were closed. Slowly, cautiously, I opened them...and gave a yelp of fright as I came face to with a small brown-haired creature.

I shot up and stepped backwards, pressing my back against a tall rock. I looked around and saw that I was still on the mountain, before pain and dizziness forced me to my knees. The other people around me stood up as they realized that I was awake.

"Pippin, you shouldn't have scared her."

My head whipped round to look at the one who had spoken. A tall dark-haired man who was staring at me with a kind expression. A human. A noise made me turn again and I saw another human and a dwarf. I let my head fall back against the rock and looked up at the sky. Oh no, I am going to die. Dwarves and humans. I gave a sad sigh and let my shoulders slump. Ow, that hurt. I opened my mind and found their thoughts unguarded. After a quick examination, they seemed to be trustworthy, but I was still unsure.

"Are you okay?" I jumped as someone sat down beside me. I turned and saw the dark-haired human. "Where am I and who are you?" I said quietly. The man smiled and gestured the others over.

"My name is Aragorn. You are in Middle Earth on Caradhras Mountain. These are my companions Boromir, Gimli, Gandalf, Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin and Legolas."

Aragorn pointed to each person as he named them, ending with a tall blond elf. Boromir walked forwards and finally spoke.

"Now that you know who we are, would you mind telling us your name and why you were traveling with a dragon?"

His voice was cold and slightly angry which made me feel immediately defensive and mistrustful. Who was he to demand such information from me? And how dare he be angry that I was here. They shot me down in the first place. But I would tell him.

"My name is Arya. My dragon's name is Saphira and we were traveling here because of a vision that I had. I was with a dragon because I am a Shur'tugal which implies the fact that I travel with a dragon. If I didn't, then I wouldn't be worthy of the title of Leader of the female division of Shur'tugal."

Boromir seemed to get even angrier at my tone but the others just seemed curious. One of the short creatures, hobbits I remembered they were called, stepped forward.

"Um, excuse me Miss Arya, but, what are Shur'tugal?"

The hobbit seemed to have said what they were all thinking.

I smiled and moved closer. They all seemed pleased that trusted them that much.

"Shur'tugal is the elvish word for Dragon Rider. Saphira is my dragon, I am her Rider." I paused, "Where is she?"

Ah, that got them. The question of Saphira seemed to upset them as they all looked quite sad and...apologetic?

Finally Gandalf spoke up.

"We don't know where she is. She vanished a little while after you fainted."

"Oh, well, I'll just have to call her back then."

"What, No!"

All of the hobbits yelped, looking very scared. I ignored them and called out with my mind.

Saphira, can you hear me?

Yes, are you okay.

Of course I am, can you come here please.

Okay, but before I do, tell them that if they had killed you, I would have shredded them.

And with that thought, Saphira broke contact.

I smiled and turned to the watching males.

"She's coming."

"How did you tell her to come, you didn't speak." Aragorn asked.

"Mind link. She hears my thoughts, I hear hers. It also works with feelings. If she doesn't like someone then I don't like them. If she's in pain, I feel her pain as my own."

"So, she felt you get shot."

"Yep. She told me to tell you that if you had killed me, then you don't even want to think about what she would have done to you."

I turned away and watched for Saphira.

Hope you liked Chapter 2. You know the drill, you've read now you review. :P
