Tracy went down the narrow alleyway and unlocked the gate. " We're here. " She said and saw Saphira dozing in the sunshine.

Deanna smiled lightly when she saw the scene in front of her, especially since the sunlight hitting Saphira's scales made her look like she was sparkling. "Wow..." she exclaimed softly.

Eragon smirked and shook his head lightly, not surprised that Saphira would be sunbathing like this. He did, however, keep his comments in his head. He knew that both Saphira and Tracy would probably not like them.

Saphira woke up to see Tracy and Deanna . She also thought she saw Daniel and Toothless and was surprised." Tracy, is everything alright?" She asked.

"It is Saphira," Tracy said as she explained what happened.

"It's really me Saphire," Daniel said as Saphira looked at him critically. He knew that she hated the nickname, but he accidentally called her that the first time he met Saphira.

Saphira scoweled a little but gave a smile. "I'm glad it is you Daniel. I promise we all will work to find a way to help you." Saphira said.

"Thanks Saphira," Daniel replied, hoping that there was something to do, before his time limit was up.

" We should tell the dragon elders about these Erasers. They might have a way to help you Daniel. " Saphira said.

"It wouldn't surprise me if they could reverse this curse themselves," Daniel replied. He would gladly give it all up, especially with what he had done before finding Tracy or Deanna.

" I wouldn't either. I know they will be horrified that people and Bishies are being forced to become Erasers." Saphira said." Let's get going. Before it is too late. " She said.

"I agree. I may be an Eraser myself, but I'm not sure if I could control it or how many I could take out if we meet a group," Daniel said, knowing that darkness would make both Tracy and Deanna a weakness to Daniel and the Bishies.

" It's understandable. I don't want to lose you again. " Toothless said. He had missed his trainer so much.

Daniel nodded as well, not wanting to be parted from Toothless again. He had wondered what happened to stop the negative side effects from appearing in his friend, but moved those thoughts to the back of his mind...for now.

" We are almost there. Hold on while we begin to land." Saphira said.

Daniel nodded as he did what she instructed. While Toothless was a great friend, he was just too big for him to ride.

Saphira landed and so did Toothless. Saphira was a bit tense to be here knowing that they had been here only a few months ago to deal with Bryce.

Tracy placed a hand on Saphira's flank, hoping that gesture would help calm her down. She knew that the last time they were here it was because of Bryce and the fact that they were facing against him right here.

Saphira calmed down and said. " We should head on in. Me and Toothless should go first and will get you when they are ready to see you. " She was ready to seek help for Daniel.

Tracy nodded, knowing that the dragon council only allowed human trainers in when it came to dire emergencies such as this. And events such as this could only be explained by Saphira and/or Toothless first.

" We'll be back as soon as we can. " Toothless said feeling a bit tense. He knew the council would want to know where he had been.

Saphira knew that Toothless was tense, especially since most dragons thought that both he and Daniel were dead. "Just tell the truth, or as much as you can remember," she said, hoping that would help calm him down.

Toothless nodded as they entered the sacred hall. He was ready to confess to where had been all this time.

Saphira knew that Toothless would have to explain where he was to the council, but knew that she would support him no matter what happened in the aftermath.

Toothless was called in first and he explained why he had been missing. He said he went to look for his trainer and had promised himself he would never stop. He hoped that he wouldn't be judged harshly.

"Even when we had determined that he was dead?" one of the Elders asked.

" Yes. For some reason I still felt the bond we shared. I had hope that Daniel was still alive somehow. " Toothless said.
