Alassëa looked around her and saw nothing, but peace. It was her thirteenth birthday and she was happy to finally be a teenager. All of a sudden her necklace with a green emerald stone started moving around like crazy. It got a small dent in it and started chipping away. Alassëa started jumping up and down freaking out about this when a baby dragon popped out of the stone. It was an emerald green dragon and Alassëa was shocked. She slowly reached over and touched it and her arm winced in pain. She looked at her hand and it had a white mark in the middle of her palm. The Dragon Riders Mark. "What should I name her?" she thought. And then scanned her mind for dragon names and came across one. " Artemis, Perfect" The dragon squeeked in aprooval and she held the dragon close.

Eragon walked by and stopped suddenly. There was no mistaking that sound. It was the squeak of a baby dragon. But what would a dragon be doing in Carvahall? Saphira was the only dragon ever to set foot here, let alone know about the little town.
He turned around quickly to follow where the sound seemed to have come from. Frowning, he called in his thoughts, "Sapphira where are you?" He wondered if she would be able to spot the baby dragon from her spot.

Saphira heard him. She then italicixed back towards him"I going off a bit, what's a baby dragon doing here Eragon?". She seemed just a puzzled as he was about one being here. A snort was given as she stayed up in the sky. Knowing it was not safe to land and would only cause unwanted attation. Her large wings doing a great job of holding her up in the sky. The sadle was getting a bit tight though. She looked at it nuding it with her nose slighly. She then italicixed another thing" Be careful". Even though he had learned alot she still treated him as a child.

"I don't know Saphira. I really don't know." He replied, a puzzled look on his face. "Can you see anything, Saphira?" Only half expecting her to answer. He knew if there was a baby dragon somewhere in Carvahall, it's owner would be hiding it, and even Saphira couldn't see through walls.
Sighing, Eragon began to walk back toward where is old home stood, but instead though better of it and sat down on a stump near the road, clearly troubled.

Alassëa heard a person on a stump and decided to check it out. Alassëa slipped Artemis into her pack. Ally walked slowly and silently along a path that lead to a bunch ofcut down trees. Whenever wood was needed the people of Carvahall would always cut it down from that area so there were many stumps there. Alassëa saw a young man maybe at the mot 30 at the least 20. Ally looked right at him trying to put a finger on his name and then it hit her. It was Eragon the new rider. "Thats who I'm supposed to see" Alassëa thought and she hoped he would find her instead of her having to walk up to him and explain that her mother told her to see Eragon if Ally was ever to become a dragon rider. Alassëa had never suspected that the stone on her necklace was a dragon egg,but she was glad she had Artemis and that one day she would be able to ride Artemis. But first she would need a saddle and Artemis to be grown

Eragon, who was still deep in though, did not notice Alassëa as she walked up. He was thinking about hearing that baby dragon. Dragons were unusual at this time, though once in awhile a new egg would turn up. He wondered, though, why this one would be in Carvahall, and who it had hatched for.
Getting up slowly, he decided to return to the main part of town. He jumped a bit with surprise, and saw Alassëa standing there, looking at him. "Hello." He said to her, and then waited for an answer.

Saphira nodded her head" Eragon that girl has it in her pocket" She let her wings carry her a bit away. She didn't what the young child to look up and see her there. Before she lef" Call if anything goes wrong Eragon" She turned once more. She let her large wings carry her a bit higher. As to make it harder for the young girl to figure out that she was there. Though she keep a sharp eye on her. Any attack towards Eragon and she would be down tere faster than you could say Oww.

Alassëa looked up at Eragon and stood up looking at him and nodded as he said. "Hello Eragon, I be Alassëa Elanessë" She told him and she suddenly heard a noise and looked up. There was a huge dragon and it was probabky a full grown. "Maybe Artemis would grow up to be that big when she grew up" Alassëa Thought. She looked back an Eragon and hoped he wasn't scared. "My mother told me if I ever became a dragon rider to come find Eragon and Saphira, for she told me that you were the newest riders and weren't evil. I come to you for help" she told him and then took Artemis out of her pack and held her out.
Artemis blinked and screeched she then sneezed and a tiny bit of smoke came out of her nose. She then squeeked at Eragon and she leapt into Alassëa's body trying to hide from someone she didn't know. Artemis the layed in Alassëa's arms and cowered in fear of Eragon since he was so big.
- how old does Artemis have to before she can talk to Alassëa through thoughts? -

-- I dont remember. I think a month. --
"Will do, thanks Saphira." He replied through his thoughts, and the looked back to the girl.
"So that's where the noise came from" He laughed, accidently speaking is thoughts outloud. Though the mystery was solved, he wondered why a girl so young was chosen as a dragon rider.
Pushing the though away to think about later, he asked Alassëa curiously, "Who is your mother?" He frowned, trying to think who might have sent the young girl to find him.

Saphira know that the girl had seen her. Another snort was given. If they thought for one moment she was going to help with that pesky little thing, they were wrong. It was not one of her eggs so why help. Plus she didn't need alittle bugger following her and Eragon. She landed a good bit away in a safe area. Still within hearing distance. Though she could hear Eragon;s though any were.

Alassëa looked at Eragon and she held Artemis closley. She then opened her mouth but realized she shouldn't tell yet. "Well my mother is unknown to all except me and I plan to keep it that way. Sorry if your disapointed in that." Alassë told Eragon and she hoped that Artemis would grow up to become as big and strong as Saphira. She then looked at Eragon with a hopeful face. "I was wondering if you could teach me how to become a rider. I only know how to do one thing and thats to create a forcefieldy thing around me to stop attacks. My mother told me it was normal to know how to do that but I then learned differently from hearing the stories of riders." Ally hoped he would help her because she really wanted to train and become a dragon rider.

-- Note: Im getting the Eldest book tomorrow, so I might be better and teaching then. So yeah.^^ --
Eragon didn't ask any other questions about her mother, but knew she wasn't telling the full truth. He figured she should come back to Ellesmera with him, and he could train her there.
"Ok. I'll tell you what," He began, "If you'll come back to Ellesmera with me, and promise not to be any trouble, then I'll train you." Eragon smiled, knowing she would come along, and still be a bit of trouble anyways. He shrugged, kids will be kids. Right?
Sighing and shoving the thought away for the moment, he called to Saphira, "Saphira, please tell me where you are." He planned to take Alassëa to see Saphira, and then fly her back to Ellesmera.

Saphira heard Eragon tossing her head" In the forest not to far, Eragon, you are not bring them are you?" Her tone said no. Though she had to lesson to him. She lifted from laying down. She walked a bit. Her tail slammed into a tree. She turned around seeing that what happened. She looked at about"Come on Eragon hurry up, night is coming fast" She said looking into the dimming sky. Saphira looked about the land again. She moved to the enterence of the forest. Waiting for them to arrive. Though she disliked that fact

Alassëa nodded and she couldn't take her eyes of Artemis. "I would love to go with you. I promise I won't be any trouble and you won't need to worry about me slowing you down because I can run as fast as I can ahead. My mother told me I'm as fast as her and she's an elf." Alassëa told Eragon and hoped Saphira wouldn't hate her. And maybe eventually since she's a rider she would be able to talk to her through thoughts like Eragon could. She then started to look in the sky to see if there was any sign of Saphira

Eragon frowned at Saphira's words, and made no reply. He then said, "We're coming in." Making no reference to who "we" was.
Eragon smiled, he knew she would've said that. "Follow me," he gestured toward the nearby wood, "And don't let anyone see your dragon."
Eragon began walking toward the wood, turning around every once in awhile to be sure she was following.
