Mariya lied next to Eragon, smiling. "It's hard to believe, huh? Were finally married."

Eragon laughed. "At last, and you father is alive after all."

Mariya smiled faded. "I'll miss being captain."

"How did you become Captain?" Eragon asked. "You never told me."

"Well, it was on our way to Alageasia. There was a hurricane. Father made sure my life line was secure and neglected to check his. We fought against the storm. A huge gust of wind rocked the ship and caused Father to go overboard. His lifeline snapped as we tried pulling him up. It was too risky to go after him. He was gone by the time the storm calmed." Mariya said before putting on a smile. "But what matters now is that he's okay. I guess someone must have rescued him."

Eragon kissed her. "Let's get some sleep. We have a lot to prepare for."

"Aye." Mariya said as she lied her head on his chest.

Mariya woke early the next morning and walked to the throne room. She found Katrina arguing with a man, seeming very agitated.

"You denied me my inheritance, therefore I deny you being my father." Katrina says, turning away from the man.

"But Katrina-" He said before he noticed I was beside him.

"You want me to kick him out your highness?" I asked, loading my pistol. The man gulped.

"Thank you Mariya, but I have it covered." Katrina said before two guards dragged the man away. I finished loading my pistol before putting it in my belt. "Eragon and I are leaving, I wanted to say good-bye to you and Roran."

Katrina smiled. "Roran should be back soon, he had something to take care of." Katrina says as Roran entered. He was smiling. He kissed Katrina.

"I guess Sloan didn't take it too well. You did the right thing." Roran said, before noticing me. "Oh Mariya, good morning. Didn't you and Eragon leave yet?"

"Not yet. I came to say good-bye." Mariya said before Katrina hugged her. She then hugged Roran before leaving the throne room. She went to the kitchen and found Eragon eating. She sat by him and got a plate for herself and began eating. "Well I've said my good-byes. Are you ready to go?" She asked after taking a few bites of her meat.

"Just about, I just have to say good-bye to Murtagh and their highnesses." Eragon said before finishing his salad. He kissed Mariya before leaving the kitchen.

Once Mariya was finished, she packed a few things before saddling Briam.

Mariya, you do realize that me and Saphira cannot come with you. Briam thought to her as she tightened a strap.

Mariya looked up at him. Of course you can-

I've seen your memories Mariya. There are no Dragons in Port Royal, imagine the chaos. It would not be wise. We would be killed.

Mariya sighed he was right. She got in the saddle and leaned on his neck. I'll miss you boy.

I'll miss you to, my Rider. Briam thought to Mariya as he rubbed his snout against her brow.

Eragon came in the courtyard and aw the two. He smiled until he saw Mariya's face. She was sad. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"Briam and Sapphira can't come with us to Port Royal. They'll be killed if they do." Mariya said sadly.

Eragon looked at Saphira. Is that true? asked.

Aye young one. Mariya's world has no Dragons. Go with her, I understand.

Eragon smiled and moutned. Lets go then.

Mariya smiled a bit. She held onto the saddle. Briam took off and headed twords Teirm. She held on tight as they headed northwest.

Eragon's POV

Eragon watched as Briam did air tricks. Mariya seemed to be enjoying it. Eragon heted to see there bond along with his broken, but Mariya was determined to leave. Eragon laughed as she slipped. She almost fell out of the saddle but Eragon caught her. "I got you, don't worry." He said with a smile. He pulled her back in her saddle and flew along side her.

Mariya's POV

Mariya smiled and wrapped her arms around Briam's neck. She wasn't afraid to fall. She knew Eragon would catch her. Teirm came into view and Mariya couls see the Black Pearlin the distance. "See that black ship out there?" Mariya asked as she pointed. Eagon nodded. "That's the Black Pearl. She's a wonderful ship."

Eragon laughed. "Wonderful ship, wonderfull captain." He said with a laugh.

Mariya shook her head. Briam landed outside of Teirm and Jack approached. He eyed Briam and Saphira before saying: "We're almost ready. We just have to finish getting provisions."

"Father, this is Briam, my dragon. He's not coming with us, neither is Saphira. Just thought you'd like to meet them. He won't hurt you." Mariya said as Jack apprached Briam with caution.

Ahh so this is the famous father of my Rider. Briam said to Jack. Jack backed up.

"He talks?" Jack asked.

"Of course, he's not your ordianry animal." Mariya said with a small laugh.She patted Briam before heading into Teirm. Eragon said good-bye to Saphira before following Jack. They soon boarded the Black Pearland left Alageasia foever.

"You'll love Port Royal. It's not Alageasia, but it's home." Mariya said before facing Jack. "Where to?"

Jack drew his sword. Mariya knew what this meant and smiled. She grabbed Zar'roc and faced her father. They fought for an hour and Mariya threw Jack on the deck and put Zar'roc to his neck. Jack smiled.

"Congradulations captain." Jack said as he stood. Mariya helped him up.

"At the helm" Mariya said before shouting comands to the others. Jack handed her his compass. "Thank you."
