Eragon POV

. . .

We all had a long miserable night under Saphira's wing. We had a short conversation about the strange newcomer's. It didn't last long until we settled down to sleep the night out, and wait the storm out.

I eventually fell into my waking dreams after getting as comfortable as possible. When I was fully asleep I realized something was different, these weren't the waking dreams I had had since the Blood-Oath celebration when the dragons had given me the strength of an elf. It was more like before. It was a real dream, a human dream.

I appeared to be in some sort of throne room. Thirteen huge chairs- I don't mean like a big fancy throne that could fit two people comfortably, I mean chairs that could fit tem people comfortably- they made a U around the room. Nine of the chairs were occupied by people that had to be at least 20 feet tall. At the end of the room, four thrones were vacated, their occupants in a heated argument.

There were three men and a woman. All three men had black hair and the woman had blonde hair, hmmm, why did that sound familiar? The man that seemed to be the center of the argument had electric blue eyes, much like Thalia's. The man that was currently yelling at him had sea green eyes and looked a lot like Percy. When I saw that the last man had pitch black eyes it got me thinking. This couldn't be a coincidence. Then I saw the woman's eyes, the same as Annabeth's. I wonder what this was all about. The people radiated power. Even more than Percy, Nico Thalia and Annabeth did.

As everything came into sharper focus I started to understand their argument. The man that looked like Percy was pointing a green trident at the man with electric blue eyes, yelling, "BRING MY SON BACK ZEUS!" So the man was electric blue eyes is Zeus, and the man with sea green eyes seemed to be Percy's father, what did he say he was a son of? Oh yes, Poseidon.

"YOU BETTER BRING NICO BACK TOO!" So he must be Nico's father Hades. He has the same scary eyes.

"BRING THEM ALL BACK!" The woman who I guessed is Annabeth's mother, but I don't know her name. So Zeus is probably Thalia's father.

"You forget Athena, my daughter is there too." Zeus said calmly ignoring the two men and speaking solely to Annabeth's mom, who I now know is Athena.

"I did not forget! I just don't care! She's your problem, not mine. You sent her there of your own choice, you didn't ask permission to send Annabeth there!" Athena yelled indignantly.

"I am King, Athena, you would do well not to question me!" Zeus yelled back.

"I don't care! Father!"

Poseidon had heard enough and got his own word in. "Bring Percy back! He is a HERO and DOES NOT deserve this!"

"They are ALL heroes!" Hades yelled!

"That is why I sent them!" Zeus said looking at them all separately, quieting them for a moment.

'That IS NOT a good enough EXCUSE!" Poseidon yelled, the trident he was still pointing at Zeus started glowing.

"Because, Poseidon" Zeus said with disdain. "The Varden need help to defeat that traitor Galbatorix. He's destroying Alagasea! The Varden desperately need their help, so I sent them."

So the people were supposed to help us? They weren't any older then kids! Sure I was young but I was a Dragon Rider! This is ridiculous!

As the four overly large people continued to argue my attention was drawn to one of the others sitting in a chair close to me. He had strange shoes with wings on them and in one hand he held a staff with two snakes intertwined around it. In the other he held a package which he leaned down and handed to me.

"Give this to Percy, he'll help when he sees this. Don't tell anyone about what you've seen, our worlds aren't meant to mix. The less everyone else knows the better. Just remember not to underestimate Percy, Thalia, Nico and Annabeth. They're all dangerous in their own way." He waved his hand and the scene started to go fuzzy and eventually faded in to my waking dreams.
