Chapter 5
I was in my room trying to figure out a way to escape. After Eragon had scolded me for a while, he had locked me in my room so I would "learn my lesson". Like that would happen.
Suddenly, I came up with the perfect idea. A plan that was simple but dangerous. I went to the door and I muttered a spell that would unlock the door. I felt some energy leave my body but I hardly noticed it. I opened the door and I quietly stepped out.
And just where do you think you're going? I heard a voice demand that I immediatly recognized as Saphira's.
So you're watching my room now? I asked sighing.
We have to, considering that you always manage to get out of the house. Saphira replied.
I can take care of myself. I muttered.
Not against some people. Saphira said gently and then asked. I was wondering, how did you get out of your room? It was locked.
Well... um... I... I... might of... used magic. I replied nervously.
YOU WHAT! Saphira exclaimed. DO YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT IS?
Yes. I replied.
HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW THE ANCIENT LAUGUAGE? ERAGON AND I WERE TRYING TO MAKE IT SO YOU WOULD NOT LEARN IT. Saphira demanded.
That's for me to know and for you to never find out. I replied.
Tell me. Saphira said angrily.
No. I replied.
Tell me or I will force it out of you. Saphira said sounding even more angry.
I blocked my mind in every single area and made sure that not even a dragon could get in. Good thing I did too, because a moment later, Saphira's mind slammed against mine.
I didn't falter for a moment, instead I strengthened my barriers. Saphira continued to try to break into my mind for a few minutes and then she gave up.
How do you do that? Saphira demanded.
I'm strong, stronger than you think. I replied.
Suddenly, I felt a surprised yelp from Brom.
Brom, what's wrong? I asked worried about him.
She tried looking into my mind, luckily, I put my defenses up in time. Brom replied.
Thank goodness. I said sighing with relief.
She's not going to give up you know. Brom pointed out.
We can delay her finding out. I said and then, smiling, I said. And if there is one thing a child knows how to do, it's delay something.
Oh so you actually like being human? Brom asked.
I find that having hands and being to use magic easily is great. I replied. But being a human child is the worst. Why do adults always have to fuss over children. It's annoying.
Like when you fussed over me? Brom asked.
That is different. I objected. Because I know exactly what trouble you are capable of. You used to get in trouble almost everytime you left my sight.
I did not! Brom objected.
Yes you did! Whether it was soldiers, urgals, werecats, dwarves, other dragons, magicians, elves... I started to list all the things that he had gotten into trouble with.
The elf incident was your fault! Brom accused.
No it was not! I was merely defending you after you got in trouble. I objected.
Sure. Brom said sarcastically.
The elf incident was your fault and you know it. I said.
No it was yours. Brom argued.
Don't argue with a former dragon, Brom, I'm already irritable enough. I snapped.
But you forget that I am now a dragon and am stronger than you. Brom said sounding smug.
Excuse me, do you want to run that by me again? I growled.
No, I'm good. Brom squeaked.
Good, now I'm heading out. I'm going to see if I can track that man down. I said smiling.
Let me go with you. Brom said.
Not happening, Brom, but if anything happens get Saphira and Eragon and come get me. I replied and then I severed our connection before running out of the house.
It took me five minutes to get to the place where Eragon had confronted Therin. From there I set off down a small path that someone had made recently.
I had trudged threw the forest for quite a while when I heard a rustling noise behind me. I spun around drawing my sword.
I lowered it when I saw a young boy holding the hand of an even younger girl. I quickly sheathed it and said.
You two are awfully young to be out here by yourselves.
"So are you." The boy said.
I can take care of myself. I snapped.
"And so can we." The little girl said.
I stopped myself from making an angry reply and I decided instead to ask something else.
What are your names?
"I'm Orom and this is Selan." The boy said before asking. "How about you?"
I'm Sapphire. I replied holding my hand out to shake.
Orom started to shake it and then he stopped and looked at my hand.
"You're a dragon rider."
So what if I am? I asked.
"Nothing." Orom said holding up his hands in surrender.
I snorted and said.
You sound just like Broc.
"Who's Broc?" Selan asked.
My dragon, he's the best dragon in the world. I said and then I corrected myself. Well second best.
"You know other dragons." Orom asked with a gleam in his eyes. There was something about him that I recognized.
Yeah, I am a dragon rider after all. I replied.
"Did you ever meet a dragon named Glaedr?" Orom asked.
His questioned surprised me.
How do you know, Glaedr? I demanded.
"Well you could say that I knew him well once." Orom said and suddenly I recognized him.
Oromis? I asked.
Orom(is) smirked but Selan just looked shocked.
"You know who he is?" Selan asked.
Well I hope so, he was my mentor. I said smiling at Oromis.
Oromis blinked and then he asked.
"Who are you exactly?"
Well Sapphire is my fake name but you might know me better as Saphira. I said still smiling.
"Saphira, as in Brom's dragon?" Selan asked and then I figured out who she was too.
Selena, as in Eragon's mother? I asked.
"How'd you figure out?" Selena said staring at me in shock. "And how did you know that I was Eragon's mother?"
I know Eragon quite well, Selena, him and Saphira. I replied.
"You know them?" Oromis asked.
Uh huh, and you two might want to come with me. I said. Well if you want to see Glaedr, Eragon, Saphira, and Brom again.
"Brom's alive?" Selena asked.
Yeah but he's changed a lot. I replied.
"How has he changed?" Oromis asked.
Well I'm a human so obviously Brom's a dragon. I replied.
When I said that, Selena fainted.
