Hello? This is how this magic works? The man told me to introduce myself. I am Eragon of Carvahall. I have been told that my dragon, Saphira, is not here. I have also been told not to use magic here for a period of time to adjust.

This place... this New York, is much larger than anything I have ever seen, though I have seen little except Teirm. I am living with someone named Percy Jackson. I will be pleased to meet you and have a better reaction to you than those I first met.

The man also asked if someone can continue my teaching in reading? It has been nearly a month since Brom taught me, and the runes are unfamiliar to me.

Thank you.

	By threats, do you mean uprisings of those who do not believe or do not pay their taxes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, the citizens of New Rome are happy to pay their taxes. They see the direct result of their contributions. I take it you have troubles with taxes in your land? Our threats are giants and other monsters. They don't harm humans, but they can be lethal to demigods. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, we are overtaxed and there is not much to show for it. We barely survive winters and are thankful for when the caravan of merchants came to our small town. We have the Ra'zac and shades. Along with Galbatorix... the emperor and one who betrayed the dragonriders. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is unfortunate when those who have been tasked to take care of the realm cannot, or would not, do so. It is very different here; you don't have to worry about starving. And do you fight them? With Saphira? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	firstrider 2013-03-05 03:42 am UTC (link)
	We will. I just don't want to be controlled. By those who fight. I need to make my own decisions. We were on our way to the rebel group and got attacked. After we escaped from them is when I was brought here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You don't want to be controlled by those who fight, and yet you fight as well? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brom said that there are too many forces that will want me to do their bidding. The Varden, Surda, the elves, the dwarves... We want to fight, but fight on our terms and not on the behest of politics. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I understand. I wish you luck, should you return to your world. In the meantime, are you settling into this one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	firstrider 2013-03-05 04:29 am UTC (link)
	I have had a general introduction to this thing that puts my voice into words. And the bed is more comfortable than anything that I have ever slept on. It is hard though, being without Saphira. How did you settle in when you arrived? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	reynaway 2013-03-05 04:43 am UTC (link)
	Yes, I suppose. I am also used to harder beds. And I too, miss those I left behind. I have a pegasus named Scipio, and two dogs: Aurum and Aurellium. I don't have the same bond with them as you do with your dragon, however. My world wasn't so different from this, so I adjusted better than you have, I imagine. If you need further help, I can try to provide some. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would like that Reyna, daughter of Bellona. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just let me know. I can be reached on the network, or over text, if you know how to use that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	firstrider 2013-03-05 04:58 am UTC (link)
	I do not know how to do that yet, but I will manage to figure it out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	reynaway 2013-03-05 05:39 am UTC (link)
	Best of luck, Eragon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	firstrider 2013-03-05 05:45 am UTC (link)
	Thank you Reyna for your words. (Reply to this) (Parent)
