AN: Hey guys, I got this idea from 'Squealing Lit. Fan' so bear with me! I thought it was a great idea, and it will probably never happen, but I'm letting my imagination run wild. Review please, and enjoy!
Chapter 1:
Eragon sat upon his cot, pondering over Oromis' last words in Ellesméra
'This is what he meant when he said not to mourn him little one, their deaths are hard but they asked us to focus on the task at hand' chastised Saphira.
'I know Saphira, but Glaedr-elda and Oromis-elda along with Brom taught us that strength is not what is important, one must look at his opponents' weak points. This is what I was thinking about' replied a frustrated Eragon.
'Think later, the messenger boy is coming'
Soon enough, Eragon's elven hearing picked up footfalls right outside his tent, followed by a knocking sound.
"Enter"
A lanky boy of about thirteen years entered, and bowed.
"Shadeslayer" he murmered
Eragon waved his hand, "Go on Jarsha"
"Lady Nasuada calls for a meeting, she sends her condolences and says she is very sorry for pulling you out of your mourning, but it is an important matter she wishes to discuss" started the boy.
"Very well, tell her Saphira and I shall be there shortly" said a rather stiff Eragon. He was not happy about being disturbed during his promised mourning period.
Jarsha left the tent with another bow. Eragon sat up from his cot and moved toward his drawers. He ruffled around and decided on wearing a sapphire colored tunic.
'Come little one, let us be off!' shouted Saphira through their mental link.
Eragon groaned and stepped out of his tent.
After the battle preparations for the Belatona were covered, Nasuada cleared her throat.
"I wish to address a rather important matter that has breached my train of thought over the last few days" spoke Nasuada.
The other leaders urged her to continue.
"It has come to my attention that the children of dragon riders always become dragon riders when presented with dragon eggs. I have asked our historian Jeod to look over this and his findings confirm it. From the twenty-seven recorded riders who have had children, these respective children have all become riders during rider selections"
Orrin voiced his opinion, "So you mean to say we could be raising the next rider now?"
All eyes turned to Eragon, and lingered there until Nasuada spoke again.
"Aye, if Eragon is willing, we could have another rider in our midst providing we get last dragon egg in time."
Eragon turned to Saphira, who decided to express her thoughts
'It makes sense little one, but who would be your mate in this case? I am only willing to do this if I approve of the woman'
Eragon decided the idea made sense as well, "Saphira and I both think that this idea is good, however there is no woman in my life that would help me bring a child into this world. Also, Saphira presents a condition such that she will agree to this only if she is allowed to pick a woman she approves".
King Orrin, Nasuada nodded their assent. Islanzadi and Orik who had been communicating through scrying mirrors enunciated their agreement to Saphira's condition.
"Very well Eragon, we shall give you time to find a woman who will perform this task".
"But Eragon must take an oath that his mate and child will not distract him from his task" insisted Islanzadi.
"I will" asserted Eragon.
"Very well then, meeting adjourned" said Nasuada.
