Ryeliey gripped the cold brass door handle and heaved it open, stepping inside Madame Tooso's house, she let the door close behind her, and it emitted a soft thump that made Ryeliey jump a bit. She walked through the house, her boots making a soft thump as they hit the ground.

Sidestepping Mina and a gaggle of her friends as they ran around the house screaming like maniacs. She stepped into her room and poked her head out of the doorway.

"Mina…" Mina continued to run with her hand outstretched, trying to tag one of her friends. "Mina!" She repeated, louder this time though. Mina continued to chase after her friend. "Mina!" She practically yelled. This time, the five-year-old heard her, and she and all of her friends turned to look at the sixteen-year-old. "Yeah Mina, could keep the screaming down to a minimum I've got to catch some z's."

"Okay Ryeliey! We'll try right guys?" She glared around at all of her friends until they nodded.

"Thanks Mina you rock… why don't you play outside, then you can scream all you want."

Mina's eyes grew wide as though she had never thought of that. "Com on guys let go outside!" She squealed. Sighing and shaking her head Ryeliey went back in her room, and plopped down onto her bed. She kicked off her boots, pulled off her leather gauntlets, and curled down into a ball, and pulled the covers up onto her small form.

- - -Eragon's point of view- - -

'Saphira!' He called out with his mind.

What now little one?

'Angela still calls me 'block-head.'

You woke me, just to tell me that? Came her slightly irritated reply. Eragon was caught off guard by this new sharpness to Saphira, he accidentally stepped off the ledge.

'I'm sorr-'

Little one! By this time people had begun to notice Eragon free-falling down from Angela's little shop. Among those people were Mina and her gaggle of friends, "Who is that?" they whispered to each other.

"Oh my gosh… It's Eragon Shadeslayer!" Mina gasped out a little louder than she should have. People around her heard that and began to panic.

Of course by this time Saphira had come soaring out of the dragon hold, but by this time he had hit the ground with an amazing force.

Little one!

Saphira landed on the ground and looked down at Eragon's slightly mangled body. The group of people that had gathered around had taken several steps away, except Mina and her friends, who stood there awe-struck. "I'm getting Ryeliey!" Came Mina's frightened cry, and she sprinted off.

Oh little one, what happened…

- - -Regular point of view- - -

Sprinting through the Varden's market place can be hard, but when you're only about 2 and ½ feet tall it's really easy, no matter what. Mina gripped the cold brass door and heaved it open. She ran to Ryeliey's room and poked her over and over in the stomach. "Ryeliey, Ryeliey get up! Eragon Shadeslayer is injured and needs assistance."

Ryeliey groaned and opened one eye, "doesn't he always need help?"

"No, this time is big!" Sighing Ryeliey got up and pulled on her gauntlets and her boots.

"Fine Mina, show me the way!" She pushed some loose strands of her inky black hair behind her ears and ran after Mina. Pushing through the crowds of people she saw Eragon's slightly mangled body and immediately forgot all of her anger towards him. "What happened?" She looked around at the people and they all shrugged. She bent down she looked closely at Eragon's chest, it was moving up and down slowly. She looked up at Saphira "He's alive but barely, do you know where the nearest healer is?" Saphira nodded her gigantic sapphire head, and immediately Ryeliey felt her mind being invaded. She put up mental barriers but they were pushed through.

Hello Ryeliey.

'Saphira Bjartskular'

No need for such formalities.

'I didn't know you could come in my mind…'

There are exceptions… now could you get Eragon onto the saddle and ride along up to Angela's.

Ryeliey sighed 'Why not?' She bent down and scooped up Eragon, like she did with Mina when she collapsed from exhaustion on the sofa in Madam Tooso's house. Except… Eragon was much, much heavier. She climbed onto Saphira, and set Eragon into the saddle thinking the whole time 'God he's pretty damn heavy.'

Saphira spread out her wings and took flight, she landed on the ledge, and Ryeliey scooped up Eragon, and slid off Saphira stumbling slightly as she carried Eragon into Angela's house/ shop.

A/n: Okay so I've added another chapter. R&R!
