Donni briskly walked into a room, armed with a spellbook, some padded armor, a staff, and a pass that Eragon had written for her. Where was he anyways? He had promised to teach her how to fight both with weapons and magic. She had learned the fundamentals, but no offense yet.

Eragon strode into the room where Donni was waiting. "How long have you been here?" he asked her.

"Oh, just a little while." Donni really had no concept of time when she couldn't see the sun, so she just generalized. "So we starting with physical or magic?"

"Magic...you have the most trouble with that." he said. "We will always start with magic." Donni sighed. "Don't *sigh* me. WE do meditaion. Have you been practicing it like I told you?" Eragon said in return the her sigh.

"Yes. I love the feeling I have afterwards... and the crackling of power in my mind." She stopped at this, knowing she would be reprimanded if she told him what she did with that power.

"And how do you use that "crackling power" afterwards? Don't you lie to me. I will know if you do." he urged her on. "Don't worry...I was a big trouble maker at mage school too." he tried to comfort her, tryng to tell her she wouldnt get in trouble.

Donni looked away, smiling secretly. She and Eragon were kindred souls. She knew he saw a bit of himself in her. "You have any good stories?" she asked him eagerly, secretly trying to put off the magic lesson.

"yes, but I'd rather SHOW them to you, so we need to get your magic down. Then you can practically relive my stories." he answered. "Cmon its easier to just get it outta the way." Eragon was talking street, but he didnt care.

Donni became guarded at this. "You mean so that you can see my mind? No secrets? No." She answered in an emphatic voice. "You can just tell me, really." Unconsciously, she gripped her practice sword a bit harder.

Eragon laughed. "I dont want to go into your mind. I can tell that youve had a very traumatic live. I dont want the burdens. Besides, itd be you searching through mine...although i would have some things blocked from your view." at the last part his gaze became tender and Donni guessed he was thinking about his loved one.

"Who is she?" Donni asked before covering her mouth, realizing that was private. "Okay... so how do I delve into your mind?"

Eragon looked at Donni. He blew off hte first question. "Okay, you have to clear your mind of everything but what you want to accomplish, otherwise there might be side results...and that could be bad. After that, you start to prod with your magic around the walls of my mind. I will allow a tiny little hole in the wall and you must find it. When you do, you will be able to search through certain areas of my mind...others will be blocked off. I would advise going for the childhood memories first...they are the most interesting to learn about in my opinion."

Donni ignored the fact that he blew off the question, and slowly started meditating to clear her mind. Feeling like she was following another's trail, she began to prod around the strong walls on Eragon's mind. Finally, she found a hole, and entered through. What she visualized as doors lined a long hall-- everyone saw it different, this was just what she could interpret it as-- and she entered an open one cautiously, remembering to keep part of her consciousness in her old body.

She had opened the door of when he had lived with his mother. He could tell. SHe gasped as she saw everything from his eyes. She now knew what his life was like from the time he was born until he was 8 years old human time. She was reliving all the horrors he had encountered....beatings, fires, his mother almost killing him because he was part god....she gaped.

Donni withdrew when the violence became too much for her. She'd been locked up and ignored.. that was terrible, but this was terrible in a different, and worse, way. To be completely rejected and not only ignored but beaten and tortured... that was awful. As she pulled out, her physical body began to calm again from its fast heart beat and adrenaline rush. Tears glittered in her eyes as she hugged Eragon, trying to comfort him, knowing that he was mentally scarred as much-- or more-- than she.
