An: I don't own Twilight/Eragon/Ranger's apprentice

Chapter 9

Araluen calls

Epov

Time flew by and it was soon time to leave, with sad goodbye and promises to return we left.

As we flew over the mountains towards our home I thought on that, even though I loved our home in the forest surrounded by blue mountains, Araluen and Redmont were my home.

The more I thought about it, the more I was in pain, Bella felt this and decided we had to land before we fell out of the sky.

"Carlisle, what is wrong with me?" I asked with my body shaking like a leaf.

"Nothing, you have found your territory, your home and now you are finished with me there is nothing more you have to learn" said Carlisle (An:sounding a lot like yoda from star-wars)

"You mean it? we are home?"

"Yes, once you are back on home territory, you will feel better and once the rangers accept you, you will be able to come and go when you want, so this is not goodbye, just so long for now"

"Wow!"

"Last thing, good luck and I will see you again" and with that he flew off into the morning light.

Bella and I searched for Will at the castle only to be told that they had gone to the ranger gathering ground.

We followed the scent of Will's horse tug, till we found it.

The lightly wooded meadow was filled with small green tents. There was cooking fires, the clank and rattle of weapons practice over laid by the buzz of a dozen or more conversations and sudden bursts of laughter as friends called greetings to the new arrivals riding in.

Into this we flew, landing nearly on top of a ranger called Gilan.

"Edward?" Will called "what are you doing here? is something wrong?"

What is it with this boy and all his questions.

"No, something is right, where is the leader here? I said looking around

Then suddenly from behind me I heard a voice.

"I'm the corps commandant, Crowley is the name" he said

"I'm Edward" I said turning to face him "I'm sure Will and Halt told you about me"

"Yes, and what of it?" he said with a frown

"I have come to offer my service"

An: Edward has a home... maybe?
