Hey guys so here is the next chapter if you like it you should tell me what suggestions you would do. I still haven't thought of any names for the dragons so if yall have some don't hesitate to comment them.

We sat there staring at Eragon as he finished his story. Almost the entire story I knew cause I had read the books about him, but the part of him getting into our world shocked me. "I was swimming with Saphira in the lake near Brom's mountain, which is what I had decided to call the place where Saphira and I had found to raise the dragons. Any way we were swimming and suddenly we felt a strange magic below us, so we swam deeper to check out what was causing the magic. As we did we went through what we believe is a portal and we ended up here. We didn't notice it at first, until we had breached for air did we notice that we were in the middle of you ocean. We could still feel the magic below us, but we were too tired to try to go through it again so we flew towards the land we saw. This is why we were in the forest. When we reached the beach we couldn't go any further even though I could see the cabins something was stopping us. So instead of try to fight the barrier we just flew around in until we found a place we could rest. After that Percy and Michael could tell you."

I just looked at him dumbstruck. As I turned to look at Saphira I felt the familiar tendril of thought that represented the blue-green dragon. It spoke, "Michael." I looked at it confused it had never spoken before. Then I felt the bronze dragon reach out to me and it also spoke, "Mike we are yours just as Saphira is Eragon's." I looked at him shocked for it was a him the voice was too deep to be anything else. Then what he said sunk in. I had dragons, not just one, but two, that would stick closer than family could. They would never leave me in a time of need and I realized I would never leave them. I smiled at them.

Later after Eragon had finished his story I went up to talk to him. He smiled at me and said, "I see you have questions and I will answer most, but not all, because some of them will have to wait until we are alone and can start your training correctly. I nodded understanding that somethings needed to remain secret. I asked "ok well if I am a dragon rider, like you, why do I have two? Second since I am a rider, do I need to go back with you to train in the arts of being a rider? And third if I do go with you will I be able to return to see my friends and family in this world?" He looked at me and smiled I didn't quit understand why, but the he spoke. "You remind me of me when I was around your age, so many questions." His face had hint of sadness in it like he was remembering something or someone he had lost. Then I remembered Brom. He had lost his father Brom, and he had said the same thing to Eragon. Before I could say anything to Eragon he spoke, "First off I don't know why you have two dragons, as far as I know it has never happened before, second yes you will need to come back with Saphira and me to train, and third I don't know maybe when you are done with training, and also if that portal stays open you may be able to come back and see friends and family, but I don't know it would depend on many things." I nodded in understanding. My face fell because I realized I would be leaving tomorrow, and I didn't know when was the next time I would see my family.

In the morning as me and Eragon were getting ready to climb on to Saphira I went to say goodbye to Percy and to my dad. As soon as I walked over to them they both tackled me in a hug. After Percy left to go to the cabin Poseidon pulled me to the side and said, "listen Mike I know this is confusing, but I know how he got here. What he said about the portal was true. I only know that because I could feel the portal when it opened up. It is near the edge of the long island sound. Eragon will know where since he and Saphira came through it, your powers will still work over in the other world, but we will not be able to help or answer your prayers. While this is very true you will still have an advantage over others because first of all their magic requires energy, and while they can do the same things as you it will tire them faster than you. Second of all your powers of healing will still work in the water as well and since you know how to fight that gives you an even bigger advantage over them. I will also ask Zeus to give you safe passage so he doesn't strike you down as you fly in his domain." "thanks I would hate to be struck down before I can even start my rider training. Whatever that means."

"Listen, Mike, since the portal is in my domain I can often reach through it and look. I can also hear prayers from the other side, but may not always be able to help. So if you pray I may not be able to do anything to help if you are in trouble. So saying that i wish you luck in the new world you are about to go into and I know you will make this family proud. Heck you may even be able to come back and tell us of your adventures." He said with a sad smile almost as if he knew it would be awhile, if ever, before I return.

"Goodbye father I will try to return soon."

As I run back to Eragon my two dragons came walking up to me and I picked them up before I stuffed them in my bag that I had packed in. I left the zipper undone a little at the top so that they could poke their heads out if the wanted to.

I looked at Eragon and he asked, "Are you ready to leave?" I nodded and climbed onto saphira behind him and took one last look at camp.
