I'm back with chapter eleven.
Percy's POV – Rocky Mountains
…two huge bulks crashed through and almost crushed Annabeth…
One was blue and was much larger than the smaller red one.
I saw two small figures on their backs, and it dawned on me, Eragon and Murtagh!
Annabeth screamed and ran to avoid them, but without need. Saphira and Thorn skid to a stop.
My fellow Riders jumped off their dragons and walked up to me.
"Perseus! Where hast thou been?" Eragon asked.
"I've been here, my friends. It's wonderful to see you again." I related to them all that had happened. I was so caught up with telling them what happened; I didn't notice Annabeth slip away.
I only figured it out when my wards alerted me that she touched the egg.
I raced back to the egg, hoping to get there before the dragon decided.
I felt a new presence in my mind, and I felt my wards disappear, meaning the egg had hatched.
I arrived just as Annabeth collapsed next to the clean white dragon.
I had directly told her not to touch the egg, and what does she do? She goes behind my back and touches the egg!
I guess I can't do anything about it now.
I placed her on my bed and placed the dragon next to her chest.
Saphira and Thorn flew off together to find Alexō and talk with him and his new family.
I walked down from my house and enjoyed an evening of talking with my old friends.
They informed me off many things, like how well their Order was doing.

Annabeth woke the next morning.
The small white dragon lying curled on her chest startled her, but when I told her she was a Dragon Rider, she almost feinted from joy.
"Is it a boy or girl?"
I lifted it up to see a dragon private. "Girl."
Annabeth continued to look at her. "She looks like a Light. Is there a word for light in your language? I don't want to name it Light."
"Naina," The room brightened. "Ugh," I canceled the spell. "The word is naina. Just make sure you're going to be able to keep from using magic every time you say the word." She nodded.
"Percy," she said.
"Yes?"
"Now I'm scared to go back to Camp Half-Blood. They might try to kill Naina."
"You could stay here. I have plenty of room here, and I could teach you."
She smiled. "That's a great idea."
/^\
It took me a week to sing her a house and all the things she needs to go in the house. I helped her transport her stuff from Camp to here.
But, now that we're done with that, and the dragon is bit bigger, I can start training her.
/^\
So, with Murtagh, Eragon, and I all training and helping her, Annabeth has caught on quickly. She's speaking the ancient language correctly, and she's learned how to both defend and initiate mental attacks.
Naina just learned how to fly, so she's been away all day learning how to fly better.
"Percy, when am I going to start using magic?" she asked.
"We can start now if you want…"
She sat up in excitement and stared at me.
"What?"
"Are we going to start?" she asked.
"Oh yeah, sorry." Over the next three hours, I explained magic, how to use it, why it's used, and how not to use it.
Later that night, Eragon came up to me.
"We've found something," he said.
"Who?"
"Murtagh and I, we found something big, as in, dragon big."
"Did you find a Rider city?"
"Aye, we did."
I smiled. "We'll leave in the morning. We'll bring Annabeth with us. She'll need to see this. Thank you for informing me."
He nodded and walked off.
Well, I guess we're going on a field trip.
A/N: Sorry! Short chapter… I couldn't really write anything else on this chapter.
Next chapter: Percy and the gang will go to this 'Rider City' and see what secrets it holds. Maybe it will hold scrolls, or swords, or Eldunarí! Nobody knows!
Thank you for reading.
