A/N: This is how things should have happened, according to Mr Paolini's highly original writing style and authentic characters.
Chapter One: The Seeker (Ra'zac) Attack!
Eragon lived in a small village near the Spine (a.k.a the Spine of the World) called Carvahall (Emond's Field). He was a serious bloke, and he always felt like he needed to do what was right. He had a powerful sense of right and wrong, and tried to do good wherever he could.
Eragon woke up in his stereotypical straw mattress and decided to go hunting, the only thing he was partially good at. As he stalked his game, snapping numerous twigs, he was surprised to find a mysterious stone which had mysteriously appeared out of thin air directly in front of him.
The appearance of the 'stone' sent his game scurrying away. Eragon cursed so loudly that all the birds in the trees got away from him too. He picked up the stone in his hands and blew on it for no apparent reason. He decided to try and sell it to buy food for the winter (limited thinking) because he was a 'poor farm boy'. He was unsuccessful so he took it home.
One day, after doing all his tiring hard work on his uncle's farm (because he was a "poor farm boy"), he sat down on the porch and decided to read a book his uncle Garrow had given him. It was called "The Ruby Knight".
Garrow was quite stupid and didn't know that he had given his adventurous young nephew the second book in the Elenium trilogy. But Eragon had no idea even though it was printed in the book that "the Ruby Knight" was the second book. Indeed, he couldn't even tell that the characters and plot had already been introduced.
But Eragon immediately liked the book, especially the servant of the evil god Azash: the Seeker. Surprisingly Eragon noticed a great deal of similarities between the Seeker and some visitors who had recently arrived in Carvahall (Emond's Field).
The visitors were called the Ra'zac, and they were also insectile, thin, evil and black cloaked like the Seeker. In the world of the Elenium, there are only two Seekers alive, just as there are only 2 Ra'zac left in Alagaesia. The Seeker also develops like the Ra'zac and eats human flesh.
Eragon liked the book so much that he went to Carvahall's library and "devoured every book Mr Eddings had ever published". He even went so far as to buy David Eddings' first fantasy series, the Belgariad. He noticed that the "evil, twisted god for a villain" was very similar to the King Galbatorix of the Empire. None in the Empire had yet figured out why he was called King and not Emperor since his domain was called the Empire.
While he was in the library having a flick through Queen of Sorcery, Eragon was find by one of the Ra'zac/Seekers.
"You," it said in a hiss, which sent chills down Eragon's bones. The hair stood up on the back of his neck.
Eragon turned and soon the Ra'zac was chasing him through the library, disrupting bookshelves and people alike. Eragon, being quite dim, had cornered himself in between two massive book cases in the fantasy section.
The Ra'zac was advancing, its pale face grinning behind its derivative black cloak. It was about to attack, but it was knocked into one of the shelves, sending a shower of Anne McCaffrey books onto the floor.
The one who had knocked it aside was Brom, the town storyteller, who greatly resembled Mr Wolf from the Belgariad…
