Hello again! I've been writing a lot recently and I want to catch up with everything I missed out on before so I'm gonna post more frequently than before. Anyway, thanks for all the readers, you're encouraging me a lot, it's way more helpful than you might think it is.


As I trail behind the girl, I begin to feel more and more nervous than ever. I try to calm myself, tell myself that it can't be him but the feeling in my heart won't fade away. It's just too confusing. Can it be a coincidence? Well of course it's obviously a coincidence but..
What is wrong with me? Why am I thinking about this? I need to get over my past. I must.

At that moment, the girl comes to a stop in front of me and I realise that I am standing on the threshold of a large room - large enough to accommodate a dragon.

And that is exactly what is sitting before me.

An impossibly immense dragon with magnificent sapphire coloured scales gleaming spotlessly - the beauty of the beast is stunning. Then, I hear a voice, "Don't be afraid. That is Saphira, my companion and soulmate." Its Eragon.
I feel just like one of those characters in the fantasy stories. Smiling at the dragoness, I bow down and greet her. "It is a great honour to meet you, O mighty dragon."
Instinctively, I reach out to place my hand upon her snout as she lowers her head to my height. Her smooth but rough scales have a sense of reality and take away my previous dreaminess and unnecessary reminiscences.
And it is the same to meet you, human.
So this is what the girl meant about 'Dragon Rider'. Eragon must be Saphira's Rider.
"I hope you were comfortable last night?" says Eragon. Unsure what to do, I curtsey briefly and then reply, " Of course, I really appreciate your generosity."
Gesturing for the girl to leave, he offers me a seat and gets straight to the point.
"Grace, you have travelled a long way - all the way from a different world - so first of all, I would like to welcome you to Islingr Deloi (Light-bringer Earth). I hope you enjoy your stay here. It seems that you have information that can be very useful - for both me and you. Because of this, I want you to grant me permission to analyse your memories so that you can return to your home."
Analyse my memories? Was that what Blodgharm, blood-wolf or whatever his name is doing in the forest?
"Do you mean you'll enter my mind? Will you see everything?"
We will only see what you allow us to see. We heard that you have strong mind barriers.
"May I?"
If I let them into my mind, it would be doing them a favour so I wouldn't have to pay them back for staying at their castle so it's the best option I have..and the only choice too; if I refuse, they would probably kill me - or worse. Nodding, I allow Eragon and Saphira to enter my mind. As he places his hands on my shoulders and gazes into my eyes, I feel the same sensation of being invaded as before with Blodgharm, but although Eragon is gentler, I can tell that he is much more powerful. Before examining each memory, he asks for permission as he promised he would so I show him everything except for the events induced by the past, like the awkward melt-down I had upon arriving at the castle.
A few minutes later, Eragon withdraws from my mind and frowns as he leans back into his chair. "The magic you used to transport to this world is incredibly powerful. It has not been used in centuries; the spell was part of the Doru Areaba library that was destroyed during Galbatorix's rebellion." he explains, " I want to gather all my most trusted associates before discussing this matter. Thank you - oh and by the way, don't be afraid of Elva, your maid. She's only teasing you - she chose to work as a maid herself."

I can't help but feel relieved. As long as I am with these people, everything will be alright - I hope.


So what do you think? Please review!
