Hello this is my first Inheritence Cycle Fanfiction. Just pretend that the Ra'zac and all that never happened to Carvahall so they are all clueless to the reast of Algaesia. Eragon now has his sword, Brisngr. Just thought I would clear that up. This chapter not including a/n's is 1,599 words. Please Review! Disclaimer:I am not Christopher Paolini.

Eragon POV
Arya, Saphira, and I were all going to go to Carvahall to see if they were interested in joining the Varden. I was presenting myself as representative of the Varden and Arya was going for the elves.
Saphira was coming for many reasons, one was for travel another was for the fact that it would be much more convenient because we can barely stand being parted from each other for a long period
of time.
We were just outside of the main street of Carvahall. Arya and I were going to arrive with cloaks with our hoods up and then ask to somehow gather the town into a sort of town meeting. Or more
like village meeting. There was one thing I was worried about, or more like one person. Roran. Well we had decided to come in the morning so we do not arrive as enemies. We most likely still will but,
it is nice to take precautions.
As we were entered we had received many weird looks. We ignored them. As we were walking towards the town hall, somebody ran into us. That somebody just happened to be Roran. He
thankfully didn't look at our faces and if he did he didn't say anything or didn't notice anything amiss. After he ran off we went off to the village hall and found Horst sitting at the end of the hall, we the
said, "We are here to try to explain to the villagers about the Varden and also ask if anyone would like to join" He then acquired a look of knowing as well as nervousness, "I now understand your
purpose. Though your name got me thinking. One, I thought the riders no longer existed, let alone one not with Galbatorix. Two, There was a boy that once lived here with the same name, and now
that I think about it you do look an awful lot like him and three, how is it that you have killed a shade. Only two have done so and lived." I then corrected him and said, "Not two sir, three. As for the
prospect of being a rider, that I am I will prove that as well as answer your questions about the likeness of myself and the boy who lived her that also shared the same name." He nodded and told me
that I should be in the hall at sundown when the village will all be present. Arya thanked him and walked out. After she left I asked Horst, "I do have a question, may I bring Saphira and may the
meeting be outside? He replied by saying, "Yes, I can move it outside, and I will allow Saphira as soon as I know who she is. I then said back, "Thank-you and Saphira is my dragon." Horst's face
showed signs of shock as he said; "d-d-d-d-dragon" then her paused and said, "Yes, she may come." I then nodded and left. I put my hood back up and was met by Arya who said, "Let's go back to
Saphira" I agreed by nodding my head. Once we were outside of the village Arya took off her dress so she was wearing her tunic and leggings.
We were soon back at our camp. We had our dinner of fruit and bread. I then told Saphira, "I have arranged it so you can come to the meeting." She agreed by nodding her head. I then asked her,
"Saphira, what am I supposed to do about Roran?" So soon said, "Do whatever your heart tells you to do, little one." I thanked her and then after putting out the fire with sand I fell asleep.
Horst POV
The boy sure was odd, he reminded me so much of Eragon though. They even share the same name. Eragon did leave a year or two ago, but, it is so unlikely that Eragon and Eragon could be the
same Eragon. He was just a farm boy while this Eragon is a dragon rider and a slayer of a shade. It can't be possible. Though he did become nervous when I talked about the old Eragon, well I guess I
won't find out the answer until sundown. At least I only have a few hours left to wait.
OoOoOoOoOoO Sundown OoOoOoOoOoO
Eragon POV
I was standing in front of the town hall with Arya on my left and Horst on my right. Saphira was behind the town hall and would come out when I introduced myself as a rider. Arya and I had kept
our hoods up and will until we stand up and make our introductions.
Horst was making a short speech about how we are here to ask them some questions and talk with them about many different topics. This was true in all areas of his knowledge. Soon it was our
turn to stand and talk. Arya and I stood up. I then spoke first, "I am here representing the Varden." Arya then said, "I am here representing the elves as well as the Varden" There was an audible
gasp among the crowd. It was now my turn to speak, " Many of you have most likely heard rumors about a new rider, with that I would like to introduce myself, I am the Blue Rider, Rider Eragon
Shadeslayer." As I finished Saphira walked out from behind the building and walked up behind me. I then said, "This is my dragon as well my friend, Saphira" Everyone gasped. They did not know that
there was still an even bigger surprise. You could hear them talking about how dragon riders were no more and how it is odd that my name is shared with the one of the old farm boy that ran away
with the old story teller Brom. You also heard a lot of mumbling about how I happened to be a Shadeslayer as well as Saphira. Arya then motioned for me to sit down as she went up to talk, "I am Arya
Drottingu, princess of the elves." That too received a lot of mumbling. She then took off her cloak causing the crowd to gasp at her beauty as well as the fact that she was wearing a tunic and a pair of
leggings. They also wondered at her pointed ears. I then again stood up and they all quieted down. I stood in front of the crowd as I took off my cloak as well. My eyes have changed from the brown
to the brilliant blue of Saphira's sapphire scales. I was wearing a sapphire blue tunic and white leggings. Strapped to my waist was my belt Beloth the Wise and attached to that was my sword
Brisingr. I then said, "I guess many of you note my shared name and appearance with the Eragon that used to live here that left a few years ago. There is a reason behind that similarity. I will explain
that to you after I explain my reason for being here in the first place. I am here to ask if anyone here is slightly interested in joining the Varden?" Few people raised their hand, in those few were,
Horst, Roran, Katrina, Elaine, Baldor, and Alchemist. I then said, "The Varden is a group of people that are going against Galbatorix, against the Empire" After I said that statement everyone raised
their hand. I then said, "I will now explain to you the resemblance between me and the Eragon you all knew. We are the same person." Soon after I said that, I heard many people shouting and trying
to come towards me. Then Baldor finally spoke up and said, "Okay, if you are the same Eragon show me some proof, or at least tell us some memories so we know you are telling the truth." I then
said, "I will show you some memories, I just need you all to remain open minded because I am going to show you that way." I soon sent everyone memories. Each person received a different memory.
Then Roran spoke up, "Eragon, it is you." I nodded and then he came up and gave me a hug. He then said, "I want to see how much you have improved in your swordsmanship will you duel me?" I felt
very bad but then said, "Roran I would, but, I do not have a normal blade, my sword is a riders sword and would cut through any other sword very quickly, but, if Arya agrees I will show you a duel"
Arya then said, " Shadeslayer I accept your request, will you duel me" Everyone gasped and then someone said, "You can't fight her, she is a woman" I then said, " Arya I do accept, and I would keep
my opinions to myself if I were you" I then moved to the right with Arya following behind me I soon turned and unsheathed Brisingr. Arya and I soon shielded our swords then Arya said so quietly only
Saphira and I could hear, "Show them the fire of your sword, they bug me" I knew immediately what she was talking about. We then started to duel. Once we had everyone's attention I said,
"Brisingr" My sword came to life. Everyone jumped a few feet back. Arya was right; they now think I am some kind of dark wizard or something. I laughed and our battle raged on.
