Thanks for the reviews, I would like more, but having the few readers that takes the time to give advice and comment heartens me. Enjoy
Eragon jerked up, alerted by a sudden sound. A snore came from Saphira.
"Wow, she is really getting into a bad habit."
With a groan, he sneaked out of her wing, and started looking through the sacks for a mirror.
"Draumr kópa." He muttered. The mirror turned black for an instant, and then Nasuada appeared, her back to him, sitting at her desk. After muttering another line, Eragon said:
"Nasuada, look back."
With as start, she turned around.
"Eragon, what a pleasant surprise, how goes your search?"
"Not as good as I had hoped. We haven't gone as far as I wished, nor found anything remotely close to what I'm looking for. But that isn't the purpose of this call. Yesterday, Arya contacted me, and gave me an idea."
"Oh? And may I ask what it is?"
"It's to set up a permanent link between Ellesméra. Before, the wards were set up to prevent any magical means to pass through. However, with the name of the Ancient Language, I managed to devise a spell that will create a permanent bypass of the wards that allows scrying, however, only with this mirror or any other ones I set up."
"That is a great idea, when are you going to do it? Vanir was about to head back to Du Weldenvarden to pass a message to Arya for me."
"Right now actually, could you go get a mirror for me?"
"Certainly. Farica! Can you please go get a mirror please? One of those big ones would do."
A timid voice from outside replied. "Yes ma'am, give me a second."
Turning back to him, Nasuada asked: "How far are you along the Edda?"
"We left three days ago in fact, though still not as far of as I had hoped. There is a large forest up ahead, and we are hoping to find it as a good place for prey for the dragons."
"Ma'am, here is the mirror you requested." Farica walked in, holding a person sized blue mirror. "Hello there Shadeslayer."
"Hello Farica, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too, ma'am, if you'll excuse me."
"Go ahead." Farica retreated, bowing once at both Nasuada and Eragon.
"Ah, how quaint, a blue mirror for the blue rider. Are you ready to cast the spell?"
"Okay, give me a second."
Joining minds with Saphira, Eragon drew upon the power of both of theirs, greatly increased along with the Eldunari of the deceased dragons. He started reciting the spell he and Arya had worked on to go bypass the wards. After a few seconds, Eragon felt a noticeable drain, and said. "It is done, you should test it …."
When suddenly, Blödhgarm cried out.
"Shadeslayer! One of the wild eggs is hatching!"
