Chapter 7- We visit the Human Migraine Vortex
"Are you ready?" asked Saphira.
"No," I replied nervously. "What if they don't accept me? After all I am just a human."
"They will because I will make them," she replied confidently.
"Thanks," I said as I hugged her neck. She hummed. Over the past two days we had become rather close friends. We were both feeling quite left out as all Arya and Eragon seemed to do was look at each other, blush and turn away again. It was getting really annoying.
I turned around and sighed. They were doing it again. "Hey!" I shouted. "Are we actually going to go?"

"We should just get them together," mused Saphira in my mind.
"Yeah, we should do that," I said darkly. "Easier said than done though."
"Tell me about it," she replied sarcastically. Despite myself I smiled at her using such an english, human saying.
Meanwhile Arya was looking like the cat that got the cream. She had obviously figured out that Eragon still liked her. About 2 months too late. I resolved to talk about it with her later.

I could see but I couldn't. I tried to scream but my voice wouldn't work and there was that feeling in my stomach like you get on rides when you feel as though its lost and you're going to be sick. Then there was a piercing pain in my head. It burned! It was like someone driving a thousand white hot needles through my head! I twisted and writhed and gasped but it kept getting worse and I couldn't even faint to relieve myself. Then suddenly it reached a blinding point and I slumped down onto hard sloped ground…
