Well I'm back, sorry for not uploading, I was ill for a long time then we travelled to India to my birth town, and I was having trouble finding a good internet connection. So without any further delay:


"What did you say?" Eragon asked her, it seemed as if time slowed down for him

"A dragon" Saphira responded "I… do not know whether it is wild or not but it looks huge… bigger than me and Thorn" She informed him

"Eragon, what do we do?" Asked Kuldr

Eragon froze, processing what he had heard in his mind, staring blankly at Saphira, suddenly he snapped back to reality "MURTAGH!" he shouted "Get on Thorn and take the skies, I will follow shortly, Kuldr, get everybody inside and stay there, students and their dragons first, then everyone else!" he told them, running towards Saphira. Eragon jumped onto her back and rose to the air, seeing Thorn and Murtagh ahead of him "Saphira, can you try to talk to the dragon? Or ask Umeroth and Glaedr about it"

"I'll talk to Glaedr and Umeroth first before talking to that dragon" Saphira informed Eragon, turning her attention to the Eldunari "What should we do ebrithil?" She asked

"Don't try to intimidate him" Glaedr said "Wild dragons can be unpredictable; the slightest wrong move can mean that they will turn on you but you must show you are strong! Wild dragons look down upon us, they say we have become 'house pets' and are nothing more than that, they tend to be viciously fierce though, he was probably just out hunting and heard the roar of the students" Glaedr explained

"Are dragons common in these parts?" Saphira asked

"I don't know, there were rumours of dragons far east and north and definitely to the south but I never came across any of them apart from some to the North, so maybe that is what has happened, a dragon strayed to hunt and he heard our roar" Glaedr told her "There isn't much reason to be worried, he won't stand a chance against you, Thorn and the power of all of the eldunari"

"Aye but still if he is there then there might be more dragons out there as well" Saphira said

"Well there's only one way of finding out" Glaedr replied, quieting down so Saphira and Thorn could communicate with the dragon. The dragon in question was a dark shade of green, the same size as Glaedr was in length and had the height of him as well. Although the wingspan was twice the size of Saphira's allowing for easier control in flight.

Murtagh looked over at Eragon "Anything from Glaedr?" he asked

"Aye, he's told Saphira what to do and she's telling Thorn as we speak, basically we are not to speak to him until told to do so" Eragon replied

"So it is a male then, I couldn't tell from so far away" Murtagh told him "Very well then, I'll keep my mouth shut until this whole thing is over then.

Back at the hall the rest of the elves sat patiently, waiting for any news, Kuldr kept a mental link with Saphira while he waited, updating Aninya and Kaira on any news. Saphia was down in the medical room, tending to the man from the lake as she waited. The students were all talking among each other, coming up with ideas about the dragon and why it could be here. Vanir walked over to them "Well you've already met Eragon and introduced yourselves to him, I might as well introduce you to the rest of the people here" he told the group, calling over Aninya and Kaira as well as heading downstairs to call up Saphia from the medical bay. "I'd like you all to introduce yourselves to them" Vanir requested.

The first person to say their name was an elf, named Arvuin, she was the same height as Vanir, she had red hair and green eyes, Arvuin looked agile more than strong and seemed to be the fastest in the group. She was followed shortly by another elf named Arnos, a tall, strong elf with blonde hair and red eyes, he was muscled and looked defined, and he was clearly the strongest in the group except maybe of one of the dwarves, named Dim, he was of average height for a dwarf and had a long beard as expected but he wasn't as round as most dwarves, he was incredibly well muscled, looking like a powerhouse among the group. It looked like he couldn't be beaten in a bought of strength. He looked like a match for Arnos completely when it came to strength. Then came two humans. A man named Clovis and a woman named Bray. Clovis was a man of average height, he looked smart and he didn't look that strong, he looked quite fast though and had good reflexes; Clovis had brown hair and blue eyes and was the best looking male in the group. Bray was a short woman, she had blonde hair and brown eyes, and she was very thin but looked like she was strong though. One by one the rest of the students introduced themselves to the trio before Kuldr interrupted them.

"We have word from Eragon" Kuldr informed them "We are to come outside in ten minutes" he said

"Did he say why?" Aninya asked

"No… He just said to come outside and that's all" Kuldr told her, he looked worried as he sat patiently, slowly the time passed and Kuldr got up and walked to open the door. A short distance away from him stood Eragon, Murtagh, Thorn and Saphira with a large dragon towering above them.
