My version of Eragon book 1 i do not own Eragon or anything from the series.
Spine an elf runs for her life with two objects that could decide the fate of the world.
As she runs throught the brush she looks back to see only black though she couldnt
see the pursuer she knew he was there she could feel the cold black evil coming from
his soul. It was the shade Durza.
Elf: I know your there Durza come out and fight or did your master simply command you to cower in fear of me?
A shadowy figure moves out of the bushes without a sound as if he phazed right through them.
His pale skin seemed tanslucent under the night sky but his blood red hair seemed to glow as though it
were fire itself.
Durza: You talk big words for the one who is running away.
Elf: I wasnt running i was looking for a good place to fight.
Durza: And i suppose you think this is it? Doesnt seem any different from the many clearings we have run through already.
Elf: I was looking for a good place to fight but i couldnt find one so...
As she produces two soccer ball sized stones one a vibrant blue the other a deep crimson.
Durza: Ah smart girl your surrendering.
Elf: Far from it...
As she begins muttering under her breath Durza becomes outraged at her for not handing the stones over. As she finished her chant in a creshendo
she lifts the stones one in each hand toward the sky and a bright light is emitted from the stones a blue light form the azure stone and a red light from the
crimson stone there was a loud bang and they were gone in a shower of sparks.
Durza: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THEM?
The elf is suddenly thrown back against a tree 50 feet away as Durza lifts his hand.
Elf: I sent them where you can not get them.
Durza: Impudent wench! Youll regret this.
He then said one word under his breath and the elf began to convulse and ache all over.
He said another and her skin felt as though it was being peeled off.
Durza: You dont think i would kill you do you? You think ill let you off that easily? No i will torture you until you tell me what i need to know
and then i shall torture you some more so unfortunate it seems that your long life as an elf will be your curse.
Elf: Just try to break me Durza! You wont succeed and even if you did i sent them to a place i dont even know just in case you did!
Durza: Then i guess i will have to torture you extra long now wont i?
And with that the pain resumed.

Somewhere watching a meteor shower a boy and his family sit on a hill.
Boy: Thanks for bringing us here dad.
Dad: Your welcome. Looks like the younger ones are asleep already.
That didnt surprise either of them since it was 1 a.m.
Dad: Hey look at that one its relly bright.
Then boy was pulling a soda from the cooler when he looked.
Boy: Huh? That is bright.
Dad: Yeah it seems like its getting brighter too.
And it was for it was headed straight for them.
Boy: Dad get down!
He dove knocking his dad from his chair just as the meteor went strait through it gliding just barely over the hill to land with a bang in the woods behind the hill
they sat on.
Dad: That was close.
Boy: Yeah wat are the odds of a meteor actually comeing straight at the only people out here or even surviving entry into the earths atmosphere?
Dad: You want to go check it out? Its not everyday you get to see a meteor up close i need to stay here so dont be gone too long k?
Boy: Ok thanks.
The boy ran down the hill toward the woods in the direction of the meteor judging fromt the smoke he saw from the hill it hadnt landed in to far.
Dad[Shouting from a distance Dont touch it though its probably still hot.
Boy: I know!
The boy approached the smoldering crater slowly and when he got close enough to look down into the 5 foot wide 2 foot deep hole he didnt
see a meteor what he saw was a stone a beautiful azure stone.
Boy: Wow...what is that?
The boy ran his hands through his shoulder length curly brown hair wondering if what he was about to do was good idea. And he decided it wasnt.
So like any teenager he did it anyway he jumped into the hole reached out and grabbed the stone. At first nothing happened but then suddenly the
Stone emitted a bright light and another bang and they were both gone.

In the spine on the other side of the mountains from where the elf and Durza had their confrontation a few days earlier...
Bang! A bright flash and a thud was the warning everything in the clearing got as the boy appeared holding the stone.
Boy: Ow my head...ok that was a bad idea.
As he reoriented himself he noticed that he wasnt in the same place he had just left he was in a cold dark clearing and he wasnt supposed
to be near mountains last time he checked. A loud feral growl brought him from his thoughts. As he turned he saw the source a bear.
Apparently it hadnt taken to kindly to the loud bang that had interrupted its preparation for hibernation.
Boy: Oh shit...
And with that he did the only thing anyone could think of...he ran as fast as he could away from the bear.
But being only human he was tireing and the bear was gaining but just then he saw his way out. A river.
Boy: Well this just gets better and better here i go.
As he jumped in he realized that the current was deceptivy stronger than it appeared and he was quickly wisked away .
Boy: Well at least im away from the bear but away where?
He floated like that for ten minutes trying to get to the side of the river but the banks were above the water by about 6 feet and he was quickly loosing
strength from shivering in the ice cold water. He was about to give up when things got much worse. A water fall.
Boy: Son of a bitch...this ISNT MY NIGHT!
He began to paddle the other way but the current was to strong and was quickly getting stronger. Time seemed to go into slow motion as he shot over the edge
the waterfall was at least a 250 ft drop and he was moving so fast it wouldnt really matter that he was gonna hit water at that speed everything was like a brick wall but before he
hit he heard someone shout something he didnt understand.
Letta! (Stop in the ancient language)
Then he blacked out.
End of Chapter one.
