Like I said its not the end of the story! And here is the summary again. I thought you might want to look at it because it's changed a bit and it will tell you a little about what is going to happen. Its better than the last one.

Adriane, Zach, Drake and Dreamer get in a portal and land in another part of Aldenmor. There they meet Eragon, a dragon rider and Shaphira, his dragon. Eragon and Shaphira have been sent by someone from his world to find six people and he asks them to help him. Zach and Adriane both decide to help. But when the Dark sorceress, spider witch, and Gallibatorix become allies, the mages have to make a difficult decision. Will they go to Alegasia, try their best to help and possibly give up on ever finding Avalon? Or will they stay on earth and go to find Avalon?

Chapter VI: An unfortunate encounter.

Adriane ran like the wind. It had been a long time since she had run with Dreamer. Maybe that's why I'm running so fast now. She thought as she jumped five feet in the air over a small tree. She remembered the time she had ran into one in Ravenswood when Storm was still with her. She sighed. She missed Stormbringer, even if they could still talk to each other, it was not the same. She remembered when they had talked to the pack, when Storm had discovered she was not the last of her kind. She remembered it as if it were only yesterday, the last happy moment before her life was in chaos… It had been so peaceful, she wondered what could have spoiled it….

Through the trees, Adriane caught a trail of mist vanishing over a rise. She made a sharp right, and then sprinted up the hill, trying not slip on the moss.

Brow furrowed,, she concentrated on her stone and was rewarded with a quick image in her mind of Storm. The big silver-and-white wolf was just on the other side. With a grin, she crested the top, and leaped.

"Adriane!" Storm's voice rang in her mind. "Watch out for that—"

The image of the wolf vanished Adriane flew through the trails of fog with a startled cry.

"Oof!"

Her shoulder knocked into something hard and she landed in a pile of sticky leaves and twigs. Facedown.

Storm was loping toward her, tongue lolling.

"Are you all right?"

"I was concentrating so hard on seeing you, I didn't see what was right in front of me."

The wolf seemed to be laughing. "You must learn to see the tree through the forest."

Adriane stit out a piece of leaf. "That's forest for the trees." She sat up, picking matted leaves from her face and hair. "Oh, look at me!"

"Wait a minute," Storm commented. "I think you missed a spot." Her tongue flashed out, licking a bit of leftover leaf from Adrian's chin.

"Cut it out!"

The wolf's golden eyes danced with mischief. "Hold it. Here's another one."

Adrian squealed as Storm planted her big paws on the girl's chest, knocking her flat onto her back, her tongue slobbering over every inch of her face.

"Forget it, that doesn't help!"

Storm lowered her head and pulled back.

Giggling Adriane dug her fingers into the thick fur at the wolf's neck, then gave a heave and flopped her over. Together, girl and wolf rolled across the hill, then lay still, side by side, panting.

Adriane slowed down until she stopped completely. Dreamer did the same. She gave the wolf a small smile, then sat down in the shade of a tree. Now I'm watching the forest for the trees Storm, she thought, Just like you told me.

Dreamer licked her face." You'll get over it. You just need more time."

Adriane blinked back tears. That was what everyone said, but Adriane was sure that she would never get over it. Why does it have to hurt? She wondered.

"It's natural." Said Dreamer. "Come on, let's go back."

She nodded. "I bet Zach will start to say that I'm going crazy and Drake will say I'm perfectly normal and then they will have a fight." She said laughing. "And then I'll have to stop them before they kill each other or else everyone else will think it's my fault."

"Right." Said Dreamer, "And if you don't succeed Emily will."

"I know." Said Adriane, lowering her voice as they got closer to the sleeping Drake. "No one can stand it when she goes on and on about the importance of world peace and the possibilities of a world war III."

"If you ask me, she worries a little too much." Said Dreamer. "She thinks that the world will self destruct itself one day or the Dark sorceress will one day take control of the magic web and things like that."

"Yeah." Adriane said, "All healers are like that, even the Spider witch."

"All healers are like what?" asked Zach, who looked like he had come out of nowhere.

Adriane was not surprised to Zach there. She knew he had not heard the part about the dark sorceress controlling the magic web, so it was only natural that he was confused.

"You know," she said calmly, "Scared and nervous and thinking that the magic web will one day be destroyed and that they can't do anything about it."

"I think we should get going now." He said. "We're getting closer and the weather is getting colder so I think we will be there in two days."

"WELL THEN, WHT ARE WE WATING FOR? LET'S GO!" Yelled Drake, Adriane and Dreamer together.

"We're going to run into a snowstorm if we go that way!" said Zach. It was the second day and they were nearing the Frozen tundra like Zach had said. Adriane was so excited that she looked like she was going to run into a snowstorm. Which she was.

Suddenly, Zach heard felt a presence behind him. He turned around. And there, right in front of his very eyes, with her white blond hair and hypnotizing cat-like eyes the same as ever, was the Dark sorceress! And the strangest part was that she did not appear to notice him!

"Zach. What's wrong?" Said Adriane quietly. She sensed that something was near them. Something evil.

"Everything is wrong!" Zach whispered back. "The Dark sorceress is, like, five meters away from us!"

"You've got to be kidding." Said Adriane.

"I'm not." Said Zach. "See for yourself."

Adriane turned around and saw her too. "We've got to do something before she sees us!" she said urgently. "The mist won't hide us for long and if we can see her, she can see us."

"You're right." Zach said. "let's try to sneak past her."

"Good idea." Said Adriane.

They slowly started to walk away from the Dark sorceress. Adriane decided that if they got caught, then it really was the Dark sorceress they had seen. And if they didn't get caught, then the person they had seen there was someone else. Adriane was going to miss fighting the dark sorceress and the spider witch. Even if they were the worst enemies in history, she did not want to fight anyone else other than them.

Just as they thought they were going to get away, a hand reached up and grabbed Adriane's. Adriane slowly turned around and saw that the Dark sorceress was holding her hand! She wanted to scream, but she knew that the Dark sorceress would only laugh. Besides, that would be useless. Well, holding hands with your worst ever enemy isn't a bad thing. She thought, And look, not even a small explosion. Now we're going to be magically transformed from worst enemies in history tot he best ever friends.

"So we meet again, warrior." She said softly. The sorceress smiled, showing her vampire teeth.

Adriane looked up into her eyes. Even if they were the weirdest and scariest ones she had ever seen, she knew that she had to do it. She would not look helpless in front of her. She forced a smile on her face.

"Hiya Dark sorceress. What're you planning to do today?" Adriane said.

"Such a sweet girl." Said the sorceress. "I wonder what could have made you fight me. It would be wonderful if you could work for me."

"I would've worked for you." Said Adriane, nodding violently. "But then, you don't pay so good." They were still holding hands but Adriane didn't care. And having a nice n easy chat with your worst enemy isn't bad either. She thought.

"I see." Said the dark sorceress, smiling. "How much do you want?"

"Oh I don't know." Said Adriane. "How about ten million dollars per hour?"

"Lovely."

"I know. By the way, where are my friends?"

"I don't know. Two of my orcs went after them but they're so dumb they can't tell left from right so they'll probably return empty handed."

"I know what you're saying. When Drake was smaller and he just hatched, he tried to act like a fully grown dragon and when he did, the dumb orcs actually thought he was one!"

"And he only hatched."

"You know, I'm getting bored."

"Me too."

"How about we fight each other?"

"Like enemies should."

They let go of each other's hands and raised their gems.

"On the count of three." Said the sorceress.

"Can I do it?" asked Adriane.

"Sure" The Dark sorceress was in a very good mood today.

"I'm going to use French, so be prepared." Adriane said. "Une, Deux. Trios." -Pronounced un, duh- with a force in the h- and twa, these were the French words for one two and three.

There was a flash of green and amber as the fight started. The sorceress was an expert at using magic to fight, Adriane was very fast to doge all attacks, including the ones that could have nearly killed her.

Just as they were getting really into the fight, an ugly voice called out.

"Oh your great darkness!"

Both Adriane and the Dark sorceress turned around at the same time. They saw that the voice belonged to one of the sorceress's orcs.

"We have the human and the mistwolf that you sent us to get." The orc held Zach upside down in front of him, smiling a foolish smile.

"WHERE IS THE MISTWOLF?" shrieked the Dark sorceress.

The orc held out another hand where a Dreamer sat, looking a bit confused.

"Drop them." Said the sorceress. She gave an evil look at Adriane.

"But your powerness," said the orc, " they will die if I drop them and you wanted them alive."

"THEY WILL NOT DIE AND DON'T YOU DARE QUESTION MY ORDERS!" The Dark sorceress was getting exasperated. She made a glowing green ball that Zach and Dreamer could easily fit in and put them in it. "There." She said. "Your friends are in a ball where they are going to have all their magic sucked out of them and if you don't win Adriane, they will die and never go to the sprit trail."

"fine." Said Adriane. "But how do I know you won't be cheating?"

"It's the spell I cast over it dear." The sorceress said. "The person who wins this fight will be able to tear the ball apart as soon as they win."

Adriane dodged another one of the sorceress's attacks. Be patient, she told herself the time will come soon enough. She had a plan that she wanted to use, but the problem was that it was dangerous. If she didn't have enough speed, she would die, and if her plan worked, the sorceress would be pushed into a portal back to her lair, which would mean that she would win.

Adriane acted as if she was tired to death, but she wasn't. She was just waiting for the right time. Her time finally came when the sorceress thought she had surrounded her and could smash her into a tree.

The hardest part was to say in her place when the sorceress came running at her, hoping to finish the warrior off by herself. Adriane stayed as calm as possible. She prepared her dragon wings and couldn't believe her luck! The Dark sorceress, thinking that Adriane was going to fly up, had actually jumped!

As soon as she was a foot away from her, Adriane dived under the soceress's legs and pushed her into the portal. Then, faster than lightning, she ripped the ball in half. Zach and Dreamer came out, looking tireder than ever. Dreamer started to lick her.

Zach gave her a small smile. "That was amazing," he said. "I thought you were going to die or something, but you only have some minor injuries."

"You could see through that thing?" asked Adriane, who thought it was impossible to see through two inches of rubber.

"It's magic." Zach said. "So I guess that sorceress thought that she could torture us by seeing you die or something."

"Where's Drake?" Adriane noticed for the first time that the Dragon was missing.

"We sent him ahead of us." Zach explained.

"Let's run faster than Ambia and surprise him."

"Okay. Let's go."

Adriane, Dreamer and Zach, since they could run fast really surprised Drake, who said that he didn't expect them until tomorrow.

"What do we do now?" Adriane said playfully.

"We'll win the race!" Zach declared.

"Okay." Said Adriane and Dreamer. "Let's go!"
