Authors Note- Ok this time I don't have a legit reason for not updating on my story. I have just been WAY to lazy, had no inspiration, and every time I tried to write this chapter it didn't sound right. Please don't kill me! I will try to update faster but lucky me! I have some statewide tests coming up in the next two months. Oh well you are not here to hear me ramble you're here for the story. Also I am very sorry if you guys had a hard time reading the past couple chapters…..my head was NOT in a good place, and I was very stressed out. Well….lets see just what my messed up head decides to write today. Please give some constructive criticism about how to make the story easier to read, also have any of you read the one-shots I posted with my friend Rachell? Or as Microsoft likes to say Rakehell XD. You should go check out they stories from both of our accounts, there are different POV's and shiz. ON WITH THE STORY!

Ps I have decided Max's thoughts shall be in bold italics and dragon thoughts are going to be in plain italics. This may be the same from before but frankly I have no idea so…..ya Enjoy.

Max POV

I can't believe it, they turned me into an elf, and mutant bird kid was bad enough. Not that I have a problem with the elves but all I wanted was to be normal, is that too hard to ask? But I guess as an elf I will be more help to this world's cause, the thing that astounds me the most though, is the fact I am not from this world. I always had a small suspicion but I did not ever think that it would be true. I had a life before, and something happened that made Lydia and Luna decide to intervene and bring me here to save their world. I have to talk to someone about this but I do not think anyone is up. A walk never hurt anyone though.

After I had gotten my thoughts in somewhat of an order, I walked over to my bags, changed my clothes in to my usual attire, which now consisted of my two swords, a small dagger, and three throwing knives, and of course my black leather armor. When I was finished getting ready I silently walked to the door opened it, looked back at my friends, walked back to my bags, and I pulled out my paper and my quill, and wrote them a note. Then I walked over to Midnight and kissed her head. Turning around I looked at Saphira, my 2nd closest confidant other than Midnight and I kissed her head as well. Lastly, I turned to Eragon, my best friend, the one I always protected, and the love of my ridiculously short life. Taking a deep breath I closed the gap between him, and myself then leaned down and kissed him straight on the lips.

"I love you no matter what Eragon, always remember that." I whispered softly. Walking over to the door I left swiftly knowing if I looked back I would want to stay there until they woke up. But I was in no shape to answer their questions; I had my own to answer first. Using the first bit of magic I have used in what felt like a long time I made the door shut behind me swiftly and silently.

Running down the stairs as quickly as possible I felt something on my cheeks, reaching a hand up I saw a single tear there. Becoming enraged at myself for letting my emotions show like that, I ran even faster digging into my newfound elven strength. Running was helping to clear my head but I knew I could not keep it up forever. I continued to run like that to the Crags of Telnair. Where I continued to the spot Eragon has gone many a time to meditate.

Even in my unconscious state I was aware of everything around me, just not the passing of time. I know many people have visited me to see if I would wake. Heck, even the queen did, and I know she does not like me that much. Thinking back on the experience I could feel my features changing even if the others couldn't see it. I felt the power growing, and I felt my bones, muscles, and even my DNA change as I just waited, in the prison of my own mind. I was waiting for my own resolution, and that came when Lydia spoke to me. Thinking harder I became aware of more than just the elven strength, I thought more fluently, before my thoughts were always butchered and random, my thoughts were stars I could not fathom into constellations (AN- and cue the random author note. I do not own that quote. It belongs solely to John Green, I just couldn't help it.) This was a great discovery for now I can focus on what I actually need to focus on, not random thoughts.

I sat on that log for a good four hours. Meditating, just focusing my thoughts, and trying to answer questions I didn't have answers to. Just a normal day for me I suppose. Rising from said log, I stretched and headed over to Oromis and Glaedr's house. When I arrived however, no one was out, not wanting to disturb anyone's sleep I went to the river next to their house. Once again I sat, but this time I just stared at m reflection. I looked so different, but at the same time I was having problems trying to find the difference. But to my amazement, my reflection changed before my very eyes! My eyes lost their slantedness, my ears were once again round, but the worst was the itchiness I felt in my back, where my wings used to be, then I felt a burning sensation instead of the itchiness. And I gasped in surprise, I was back to normal, but as I reached back to touch my wings I screeched in pain. They sprung straight back into me, it felt as someone had launched a giant rubber band at my back. Looking back at the water, I looked like an elf again.

I have no idea what just happened, but I intend to figure it out. It must be something about what Lydia requested I do. Either about the dragon gods, or exploring the new powers I gain. Thinking back further into my "coma" I remember three more things, and both were very important. The first was another topic I had talked about, but it was not with Lydia, Luna had talked to me but she stayed, well she stayed where-ever they are when they are not helping me. She told me two things, one there would be a great tragedy in my life, sooner than I may think. Second of all she told me that along with the great tragedy I would gain an amazing power to compensate for the loss. That scares me, and I don't get frightened easily, there are only a couple people that I care about in this world, and I would protect them with my own life. The last thing I remember are just a bunch of images, but they were definitely important, it showed me the location of the red egg. From what I saw he hid it somewhere in the Hadarac Desert, inside an old tomb, which looked heavily booby-trapped. But the worst was the guardian, it was a shade, I want to, no scratch that, I must defeat that shade and steal the egg. And I need to learn more, right away so off to wake up Oromis, or at least find Glaedr.

Jumping up to my feet I ran back to the house, when I vaguely sensed Midnight waking up. Stretching to our bond slowly, I reached her mind and said good morning to my partner in crime.

"Max your awake!" she cried out, the cry echoed all the way down our link, along with that was extreme happiness. "Why didn't you wake me? I have been waiting for you to get up for a week now!".

"It's been a week." I asked her. "I thought it was two days at the most."

"Would I lie to you Max." She asked me. "Should I wake the others and tell them you are up?"

"Nah, lets spend some time together before you do. Even if I have been sleeping I've missed you." I told her. "Just be prepared though I look…. different it's a good different, but it feels weird."

"It can't be that bad." She replies. "On my way now, I really hope I didn't wake Saphira. She has been very testy lately from the effect of Eragon's somber mood. He blames himself for you being unconscious. He thinks if he didn't train with Arya that day your swords never would have broke, and you never would have went through this process.

"He shouldn't feel that way, I could have waited to train, but I was impatient, but it taught me a lesson. It taught me to be careful, and to not engage stronger opponents head on. Until I could do no more that is." I told her.

When she arrived I leapt on her back, and we flew, she didn't care about my appearance. We kept flying over the forest and we stayed there talking until we heard a very loud sound. The sound of an angry dragoness. And with our luck she was flying directly toward us. But when she closed half the distance, I felt the itchiness again. As the searing pain ended and I reached back to try to touch them Midnight did a barrel roll in the sky, knocking me off her back as she did that, her tail collided with my back making my wings spring back until my back. As they retreated I screamed out in pain, and I felt three minds enter my head, and I closed my eyes as I waited to hit the ground. Saphira was to far, Midnight was too high in the sky, and Eragon, wait where was he?!

Dun, Dun, Dun, where is Eragon find out next time I feel like writing. Again I am sorry for the ridiculous wait. I hope the chapter was good. I kind-of feel indifferent to it, not my best but not the worst. Oh well, not much I can do. One last question, WHO SAW DIVERGENT?
