Once, long ago, the elf Maerzadí had a premonition that he would accidentally kill his son in battle. Rather than live to see it happen, he committed suicide, saving his son, and at the same time proving that the future isn’t set. Short of killing...
Eragon’s eighteen year old daughter is headstrong and willful. As a Rider, Aiedail must learn to control her feelings or they will be her downfall. Named after the morning star, the people hope she will bring a new age to Alagaësia, just as the morning star brings a new morning. Her dragon, a white female, is named Fricai. Aiedail’s best friend is a half elf like her. His name is Caleb, rider of silver Vanilor. When their friendship takes on a whole new dimension, Dail finds herself in a position which could be dangerous for all concerned, not only to herself and Caleb, but to her family and all the Riders. But as soon as one difficulty is passed another arises. A Shade has appeared in Alagaësia, one trained in the dark arts by Galbatorix himself, before the Usurper died. The Shade wants his revenge for the death of his master. Dail wants to live up to her father’s legendary deeds and goes after the Shade, leaving her new family behind and facing to Shade. Meanwhile, Caleb is struggling to accept the facts of his heritage. Will they both be strong enough for their tasks, or will they learn one of the most important lessons of warriors, those who stand alone are often the first to die…

8. Chapter 8: Celebrations by Texas Sweetie [Reviews - 5] (1119 words)
Heehee, I love this chapter. We get a little background on Alagaësia since Galbatorix died (since I have decided to write a after the trilogy story before I write a book three one [yes, I am planning on writing a book three fanfic sometime in the future]) and we start to see things that are going to shape the rest of the story. J
9. Chapter 9: After a Night of Celebrations by Texas Sweetie [Reviews - 2] (1011 words)
Author’s Notes: This is one of my favorite chapters. Things really start the heat up after this. I have to say though, Dail can be really bold don’t you think?

12. Chapter 12: A Child by Texas Sweetie [Reviews - 8] (1120 words)
You know, I was thinking about adding Caleb's drinking problem back in. I asked this in the reviews, but i only got two reviews about it, so I want to know what you guys think about it. And Elvin Drummer, unfortunatly, I don't think Dail is going to let Caleb go anywhere. Sorry. :(
13. Chapter 13: Confrontation by Texas Sweetie [Reviews - 5] (504 words)
You know, it is hilarious to write Eragon's part in this chapter. He is so clueless sometimes.
I want to say a special thank you to Trianna for betareading my story. YOu are the best!!!!
14. Chapter 14: Full Riders by Texas Sweetie [Reviews - 5] (1337 words)
Ok, I have a question for all of my loyal reviewers. If either Dail or Caleb were to die, who would you rather it be?(Elvin Drummer, if you say Dail just so you can get Caleb, i am going to be really mad and mess up writing the next couple chapters. :)
Anyway, thanks for sticking with me so far!!!!
15. Chapter 15: Family and Flights by Texas Sweetie [Reviews - 3] (2012 words)

Can anyone guess what is going to happen, just from the title?
19. Chapter 19: Figurines and their meanings by Texas Sweetie [Reviews - 11] 
(2834 words)
ok, basicly, we are skipping two months. They named Eragon, Eragon Brom, to keep him separate from his grandfather. And Eldrey's middle name is Mor'anr, peace, which is really funny, considering what I have planned for the sequel.
Oh, and from here on out, Eragon Brom is just Brom, since it takes up to many K-bytes on my laptop. later!!

So, what do you think? Good chapter? Bet you never guessed it was Chare (Ok, maybe you did.) Heehee.
24. Chapter 24: Charges by Texas Sweetie [Reviews - 3] (847 words)
Hey, in this and I think some following chapters, you will hear (sorry, read) a bunch of glabbiddy-glup about cases and charges, etc. I swear I did not make this stuff up. My dad is a police officer and my cousin is a lawyer. All that glabbiddy-glup is real court stuff. Blah, court stuff is boring. But I decided you guys might appreciate it if I kinda stayed close to our own judicial system and didn’t make up my own. J
25. Chapter 25: Dragons and Their Feelings by Texas Sweetie [Reviews - 3] (659 words)

I went last year and had a blast, except, I got a sound board dropped on my head just before we went to Six Flags over. Not fun.

30. Chapter 30: Dragon's Love by Texas Sweetie [Reviews - 2] (1996 words)
31. Chapter 31: Mates by Texas Sweetie [Reviews - 2] (1237 words)
Fluff, fluff, fluff and even more fluff. Grrrrrr…there is WAY to much fluff in my stories. One of theses days, I am going to write a story that has little to no romance, where everyone gets killed. :D :D Enjoy chapter 31!!!
32. Chapter 32: Shade's Warning by Texas Sweetie [Reviews - 3] (909 words)
This is basically a review chapter; it gives Andlát/Angela/Kayla’s story from the Rider and Elves POV. If you want to skip this, go ahead. And REVIEW!! HAHA!! Ok, I’ll stop now…Or not!! HAHAHAHA!!! Ok, stopping now…..I need some caffeine. *Goes off to find some Dr. Pepper, leaving the readers to finally read the story. :D*

Great Muhlah on the mountains of Za!! (Again, Anne McCaffrey. I need to stop reading that stuff. It affects my writing style in my original fan fic. I keep wanting to put weird stuff in it. :p) Ok, another fluffity fluff chapter. I don’t know what it is with all the fluff. I guess I am just in a fluff mood. Hmmmm… Bad Texas! Bad, bad, bad!! No more writing!! *sigh* I need to stop writing the happy-happy-joy-joy chapters (I love that phrase. Heehee). Meh. Bye!!
34. Chapter 34: An Unexpected Visitor by Texas Sweetie [Reviews - 3] (839 words)
Heehee, it this chappy, we get introduce to my personal favorite character (even more the Dail and Caleb!! I think Eragon is somewhere at the bottom of the list. J) in this story. Wait until you find out more about him!!!!

36. Chapter 36: Secrets Revealed by Texas Sweetie [Reviews - 4] (1390 words)

40. Chapter 40: Shade's Taunt by Texas Sweetie [Reviews - 4] (1219 words)
Mmmm…Texas doesn’t feel like writing all that happens between the last chappy and this one. So I am skipping all that. If you are mad about it, talk to my manager!!*points to her rottweiler* Ok, basically, two years have passed and they have been not had any messings with the Shade other then a few minor skirmishes. And yeah…wait until you see what Texas has dreamed up this time!!!!
P.S. I am thinking about letting Caleb and Dail have a daughter. What do you guys think about that idea? I mean, I know they will, cause I already started work on the sequel, but do you guys want her to be born in this story or in between the stories, cause there is a…twenty year gap in between the stories. Let me know, k? Texas out.
41. Chapter 41: The Battle by Texas Sweetie [Reviews - 4] (1851 words)
Durn durn, durn durn durn durn!!!!!!!(Star Wars Theme song!!!!! YAY!!!! I LOVE STAR WARS!! Except Luke is a total wuss. And the actor who played Anakin is a total jack***. *scowl* I mean, COME ON!! You couldn’t get a better actor for the best hero to villain role ever?? AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!! Ok, calming down. Mmmm……I love the books too. I love Mara Jade and think Talon Karrde is AWESOME!!! :D)Anyway, yay!!! We are finally at the Battle (yes it is a battle worthy of a capitol “B”). Hope you guys like!!!P.S., I recommend listening to something like “One Girl Revolution” or “Anthem” by SuperChic(k). Basically, any song that is about girl power. J *sigh* this has got to be my best battle scene. I have written several, either for this, and it got scrapped or for Dove for Peace. Ok, enjoy!!!
