Hey everyone. It's me again. The last couple of chapters were crazy. Let the crazy train continue. Hope you enjoy the show.

When Saphira is talking in thought: 'eragon'

When they are talking in thought: ' '

It was some time before Sansa regained consciousness, and when she did, she found herself not being in the Godswoods. When she open her eyes, she found herself laying on her bed in her Chambers with her mother gently holding her hand. She didn't know how long she's been unconscious, but the way her body feels, she wasn't unconscious for too long.

Her awakening alerted her mother, who immediately placed her hand on her face. "Sweetie, are you alright?" Sansa nodded as she slowly sat up, her mother placing her right hand on Sansa's back. "How long was I out?" Her mother took a cup of water from the bedside table and gave it to her, to which she happily accepted it. "You've been unconscious for almost the rest of the day. The sun has already set."

She watched as he mother took her left hand and placed it on Sansa's face. "You made me and your siblings worried falling unconscious like that." Sansa watched as her mother turned her head and looked down and smiled. "You've also had this one worried as well." Sansa looked to where her mother was looking and spotted the little green dragon that hatched to her in the Godswoods.

Upon hearing her mother talking about it, the little dragon opened it's eyes and lifts it's little head and looked at her. As it saw that she was awake, it got up from its current position and leapt onto Sansa, causing her to fall back. She let out a giggle and her mother let out a gasp as the dragon cuddled on Sansa's chest, rubbing it's head against her face. Regaining herself, her mother started chuckling as she picked up the dragon, who snorted about being picked up.

"I know that you are happy to see her awake, but you need to be careful. You could've hurt her and yourself." The dragon just snorted, causing Sansa to laugh as her mother scoffed. "Silly dragon." Sansa smiled as she sat up again and petted the dragon's head. She then felt something on the palm of her hand. She turned her hand around let out a gasp. On her hand was a curled up silver dragon mark that looked to be glowing from the light of the fire place. Sansa marveled at the mark before realization set in.

"I've been marked. So, am I like Eragon then?" Her question hung out there, being unanswered as her mother looked down. A second later, she stood and walked to the door. Opening the door, she stuck her head out to speak to the guard standing on the other side. "Alert my husband and our guest that my daughter is awake." The guard bowed and went to search for Lord Stark.

It didn't take long for Lord Stark to arrive, as when word finally reached him, he rushed to her bedchambers, bringing the rest of their children. As soon as he opened the door, the three youngest of the Stark children rushed into the room and went to Sansa. Robb followed suit with Jon and Lord Stark following them. Little Arya jumped on the bed and hugged her older sister as her father stopped next to the bed.

"How are you dearest daughter?" He asked as he sat on the bed next to her. "I'm fine father. A little groggy and my head and hand itch, but nothing bad." He smiled in relief as he took her hand. "You gave us a scare there, passing out as you did." She looked down. "I'm sorry for worrying you all, father." He patted her head. "Hey. Everything is fine. Although," He looked at the dragon, who gained the attention of the younger children. "We weren't expecting what happen to have happened." Lady Stark nodded as she picked up her youngest child and placed him on her lap. "No one knew that this would have happened. Well, almost no one. Still, at least you are alright Sansa." Sansa nodded as she took the cup that her mother gave her and took another sip.

Her and everyone's attention drew to the door as they heard a knock. "Lord and Lady Stark, it's Maester Luwin. I have brought Mr. Eragon and Mrs. Arya." Lord Stark responded by calling out. "You may enter." A moment later, Maester Luwin entered the room with Eragon and Arya following suit. Maester Luwin went to Sansa and began giving her a check up to make sure she was alright. After some time, he steps away. "Everything seems to be alright. She'll just need to either get something to eat or get more rest and she'll be fine." Lord Stark nodded. "Thank you Maester Luwin. You may go about your duties." Maester Luwin bowed. Yes my lord." He turned around and exited the bedchamber. Eragon then stepped forward and looked her over. Seeing that she was fine, he stepped back. He then looked around and looked at the younger children. "Lord Stark, could you excuse the little children? We have much to discuss with Sansa and they don't need to hear about it."

Lord nodded, catching the double meaning. "Robb, Jon. Take Bran and Arya as well as Rickon to get ready for dinner. We'll see you shortly." Robb nodded as he picked up Arya. "Come here you little wolf." Jon then picked up Rickon from Lady Stark's grasp as he, Robb and the little children left the chamber. Eragon then muttered a silencing spell and turned around. "Now, Lady Sansa, we have much to discuss."

Sansa nodded as she looked at the dragon and then her mark. "I'm the same as you now, aren't I?" Eragon sighed as he nod at her question. "Yes. The moment the egg touched your hand, the dragon inside felt the presence of it Rider. When that happened, it chose that time to hatch. Usually it takes a few days for it to begin after first touch, but since we aren't from here, the dragon must've felt that it had to rush. The bond between the dragon and the Rider is finished the moment the dragon touches the palm of it Rider. The mark on your hand is the proof of the bond. Sansa Stark, you are the first actual Dragon Rider in Westeros. Or rather, you're the first one in Westeros to have bonded to a dragon."

He sighed as said the next part. "Your life will never be the same." She looked at him confused. "What do you mean?" Arya stepped forward and spoke in her regal tone. "He means that as soon as you are able, your training to become a dragon Rider will begin." Eragon nodded. "Your dragon is hatchling. It'll be a while before it gets big enough to be able to hold you, so as it grows, you'll be trained by me and Arya to use weapons such as swords and bows."

Sansa paled as her mother stood up fiercely and glared at them. "She will not. She's meant to be a Lady. She's not learn how to hold a sword like a man " Arya immediately glared at her. "Do you mean that women shouldn't be allowed to use a weapon. I know how to use a sword and bow. I know how to do hand-to-hand combat. Also, she'll have no choice." Lord Stark stood as he gave a stern look.

"And pray tell what you mean by that." Instead of her responding, Eragon did as he sat down in an empty chair with his hands laced together. "She means that Sansa must know how to fight. Mainly because physically she'll have no choice. The moment she became a Dragon Rider, the process has slowly begun. Originally, it was the Elves who have made a pact with the dragons and made the first group of Dragon Riders. When they allowed humans to be able to become dragon riders, the pact slowly started to effect the physiology of human. The effect will begin to give humans the aspect of elves. She'll become more beautiful, but her body will become more stronger. Her longevity will be increased to a very much longer degree to that or a regular person. Her ears will become more pointed. She'll need to train so her body can adapt to these changes." He stopped as he stood and faced the fireplace.

"More importantly, she'll need to learn how to fight and protect herself. Not just for her own safety." Lady Catelyn crossed her arms and poked at him with a confused look. "What do you mean?" Eragon dreaded this next part. "The bond between a dragon and it's Rider is unique and beautiful. But it's also a weakness as well. The dragon will definitely feel more protective of it's Rider the more it grows and matures, the more protective it'll be of it's Rider. And that can be used is evil ways. If someone discovers that Sansa is a Rider and kidnaps her, the dragon will do anything to keep her safe, even if it means surrendering itself to the kidnapper. Also, if someone were to try and end her life, the dragon may try to stop it, even if it would cost the dragon it's life." He looked at Sansa. "Trust me Sansa. I know what I'm talking about. Losing your dragon is the worst thing you can feel. I seen what happens when a dragon loses it's Rider as well. It's not good."

She looked down as he continued. "If anyone discovers Sansa is a dragon Rider, she will not be safe as everyone will try to get her for the dragon. Which is why she must be trained. Also, when she is ready, she'll physically be able to take on a lot of people at once." He stopped again as Arya open and closed her fist. "Another thing is she also needs to train to be able to control magic."

Lord Stark raised an eyebrow at that. "Magic?" Eragon nodded as he looked at his Gedwëy Ignasia. "Usually for someone to be able to use magic, if they are able to in the first place, they have to first unlock the source within themselves to be able use it. However the moment a person becomes a Dragon Rider, they unlock the ability to use magic." Arya took over, seeing that this next part will scare the Starks. "However, the thing about magic is it requires several things to be able to be used. First, one must have a large grasp of knowledge of the Ancient Language to be able to learn how to control magic. The ancient language will be important for Sansa to be able to use magic."

Arya stopped as she came and took Sansa's hand. "However, before you can learn to use magic, you must learn how to increase your magic's energy source. When magic is used, it requires energy from one's self to be able to use it. Depending on the level of magic, the amount of energy is required to cast it. There are some spells that if you use without your energy source high enough to use it, it could cause you pass out. However, there are spells that if you aren't ready to use it and you cast it," She looked at Sansa's parent before saying the next part. "It will kill her.

Lady Stark immediately hugged her daughter in worry upon hearing this. Eragon sighed at how blunt Arya can be at her words. "That is why she must be trained. She must learn how to fight. She also must learn how to increase her energy to be able to cast magic as well learn the Ancient Language. I'm sorry that we had scared you Sansa." He placed his hands behind his back and looked at her. "But you must understand that your life is never the same and all of this is to help you. However, we won't force you. This decision is yours." He looked at her parents. "And hers alone."

Lord Stark didn't like how he said that and was about to respond, when he heard a small voice stopping him. "I'll do it." He looked at his daughter, as she slowly got out of her mother's grasp and slid off the bed, standing slowly. "All of this is frightening, but if I'm able to learn to control this magic, I'll be able to protect my family. And although I may detest fighting and will probably detest learning how to use a sword, if it means that I can keep my love ones out of harm's way, then so be it."

Lord Stark was proud his of his daughter's resolve. "If that's what you want daughter, then I'll allow it." Her mother was against it, but she knew that Sansa had no choice. She was slightly happy that Sansa was making her own choices. Eragon smiled as he and Arya stepped towards the door. "Don't worry Lord and Lady Stark. We will be careful with her. Training will start tomorrow for now, enjoy the rest of the day with your family." Eragon open the door, and he and Arya left the bedchamber, leaving the Starks to themselves.
