Alegasia Has Many Surprises, Apparently,

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Why were the gods threatening you?" I asked her.

"It was mainly Artemis who wanted me punished, I was one of her hunters for many years, but I eventually fell in love. When my mother found out, she sent me here, and gave me full immortality so killing me would be pointless if the gods ever found me here, at first I missed the man I'd fallen for but I eventually moved on,"

"Which goddess is your mother," I asked, although I already had a guess for who it was. I was also curious now that I knew Reyna and I weren't the only demigods here.

"Hecate,"

Considering she was a witch that made sense, but it seemed that was all I would find out about her for now because she once again started questioning me. She asked me why the gods had sent me here, and I told her. she asked me about my past and what had happened to me since I arrived in Alegasia. As I once again told my story I realized it wasn't bothering me as much as it had after I first got here. I think I was even starting to move on from Annabeth. I think having Reyna here might have helped with that.

After I told my story I got the chance to ask Angela a couple more questions, apparently, there had been other demigods sent here since she first arrived but the rest were dead now. Not long after that revelation, I left since I was going to have to meet Eragon for his testing. Saphira would also be testing Ágrios.

I suspected he would be happy with that since he seemed to like her, I even reminded him to concentrate on what Saphira was telling him, not how beautiful he thought she looked. He seemed slightly annoyed by my reminder and claimed that he didn't need it.

I was sure he probably did but I kept that thought to myself since I didn't feel like annoying him further.

After I left Angela's tent, still shocked that Reyna and I weren't the only demigods here, I would have to tell Reyna about that the next time I see her. Hopefully, I can find her after Eragon's testing. After I reached Eragon's tent, Saphira and Ágrios seemed to eye each other before they began talking to each other. I overheard their conversation since my mind was still connected to Ágrios'. I think Ágrios just confirmed what she already knew since he seemed to know very little about his own kind beyond the things that were instinctual to all dragons. it was obvious he had a lot to learn. After she came to that conclusion they took off into the sky to continue their conversation, and begin his training.

While they were doing that, I looked at Eragon, and asked, "So Eragon, since you are supposed to train me, where are we going to start?"

I wasn't really worried about his training. Even without my powers, I think I would be able to hold my own against him. I was a demigod after all, and now I also had the abilities of a dragon rider. I was pretty sure that the only things I would have to learn more about were dragons, and how to protect my mind, and also how to use it to reach out to others besides Agrios. I knew I should be able too and I also that this was important if you wanted to defeat another magic-user without instantly signing your own death certificate. of course, my powers could also help me with that, but if I am eventually going to help Eragon defeat Murtagh and the King I would need to learn everything I could about being a rider and the abilities that come with that position.

Eragon said, "After what I saw in the battle, I suspect you are already a talented swordsman, so I believe we should start with magic,"

I nodded, and we stayed near his tent and got started. He would say a spell and ask if I knew what it did and also if I could cast it myself. Most of the time I could cast it since I had been practicing magic as much as I could since Hecate had visited me and given me the information on how to do it as well as many different ancient words. After a while of me knowing every spell he brought up he asked where I'd learned all that since that was one detail that both Hecate and I had left out of the conversation at the meeting the night before. When I explained that it seemed he believed me. but then again I think he believed me the night before after Hecate and Kilf appeared and summoned Reyna.

Not too long after that, we changed from discussing spells and the ancient language to practicing protecting our minds and attempting to reach out with it to sense everyone around me. that wasn't too difficult, really. I think the main reason why Eragon got through was that I wasn't used to having to defend my mind from invasion, well that and I got distracted easily due to my ADHD. it was probably mainly luck that Murtagh hadn't gotten through the day before because I really didn't have much practice with doing it.

Despite that, I think Eragon was surprised by how well I was doing. I couldn't blame him, I don't think he fully understood that being a demigod made me stronger than most people. usually, only elves, the ra'zac, or someone equally as strong as them, would really be much of a challenge for me. Sure an extremely skilled human, like Murtagh, or some of the soldiers I'd encountered in Carvahall or while I was traveling with the villagers, might stand a chance, but most of the time normal men wouldn't be able to defeat me even if I didn't have magic or my powers. I tried not to get distracted as Eragon switched topics once again. Now that we were just talking and it was mainly me listening to him I couldn't help but find it hard not to get distracted. Now that we were just talking we had gone into his tent. we mainly discussed dragons although Eragon also told me about some of the other things he had learned with the elves.
