I notch an arrow to my bow, settle quietly in to the thin bushes, all the cover's me from the deer, I can see the deer enough meat for Roran, my uncle Garrow and Myself. The deer is limping on throw the clearing.

Roughly 4 rods long, 3 rods wide, plenty of game trails lead to this area, with a comfortable size cave on the other side of the clearing. I had long since cleared the cave I used on these hunting trips, no bears entered there and there weren't many other predators, which stalked this part of the forest even if the deer nested here.

Then maybe the deer nested here because of the lack of predators.

Just as I release my arrow the clearing is filled full of a green light. I sheltered my eyes, when I looked up I saw the deer was long gone but a green stone sat in the exact middle of the clearing.

As I approach the stone I realise that it is perfectly smooth and round.

Again with the light,, only this time there were 2 flashes following one another.

The first one seemed to give off the colour of a human, not just their skin but their hair, eyes, blood. And sure enough I look up to see a man no more than 18 years of age. The second flash was blue, yet again I see another stone the exact same as the first only blue.

I look over to the man he is unconscious. He seems to be slightly older than myself. Checking his pulse confirms that he is in fact alive and only unconscious, not a stone like the green and blue ones lying next to him.

I drag the man into the cave. My bed that of hay I had set of years ago was still there, I lay him down onto it and stalk out to the clearing being over precautious of my surrounding's.

A flash like the three that had just happened would have scared away any would predators. My plan to walk into to the clearing and grab one of the stones and bring into the cave proved easier then I could have imagined, the stones weighed no more than a feather.

I brought both the stones into the cave and then went out and found a nearby deer and made a quick kill of bought it back to the cave. I then started to build a fire to roast some of the meat. I would be here at least the night, I could not leave this poor fellow here and these stones held way to much curiosity over me.

As the meat was nearly cooked 3 things happened simultaneously, 1st was that man the man sat up and yelled at the top of his voice "ARYA" 2nd & 3rd was that both the stones hatched,,,,,

As confused as I was stones don't hatch, "there eggs, not stones" I heard the man say. Apparently the snap of consciousness, and an apparent "Arya" had been quick thought and had grasped the whole situation. Dragons lay in front of me the blue one came towards me, I reached out hesitantly to touch it's head instead I found and immense burning pain jolt through my entire body.

I awoke on the bed of hay, starving.

"You would do better to rest, than rise and expend your strength." the man told me.

"Well I was expected back at town the last night but, you and the stones appeared" came my reply.

"It has been three nights since you fainted, so four nights ago were you expected home." said the man, all the while I was trying to find my feet and start to walk around.

"Dahuk, my name is Dahuk." The man said.

I looked at him the said "Eragon Garrowson, My uncle, Cousin Roran and Myself, live on the other side of Carvahall."

Now looking at the man I took in a full account of his features 6 foot 1 inch tall he had next to no muscle on his arms or legs and yet just watching him knew he would easily be able to lift me without a second hesitation. His hair a brownie blond colour, that would shimmer between a light brown and a blond that fell to his shoulder's, and that was all the hair he had on his body that was visible. His face was elegant while all the same male with a strong jaw muscle.

But most difficult to place was his eyes they were a wide assortment of colours when they were blue, they would change to yellow as he moved them.

Only now did I realise I was still in the cave and not in the and not well,,,,

I did not know where I had thought I was.

I moved over to the fire " there is the deer over there that you killed for meat 3 nights ago, but I doubt you want to eat it know, ridden with worms. I do have fruit that you may like to eat though." Dahuk said.

I asked him " what sort of man does not eat meat?" accepting the fruit I was to hungry not to eat it.

As if to put all the pieces of the puzzle that I had, he said "I am an elf"

"Well that puts everything that I had suspected of you and how the eggs came here, and how you are so strong but it does not answer my question why you do not eat meat?" I said while eating the fruit hastily I asked, " What happened to the dragons?"

I had only come to realise that the two dragons that had hatched out of the eggs that I thought were stones were not here.

" I do not know why you think the eggs and me came here are because of the fact I am an elf, no elf eats meat that is why we do not like to eat any form of animal. And the dragons have gone to hunt the blue one has been longing for you to wake." his response came.

Curious I asked, "How did you and the eggs get into that clearing? I know it was some sort of magic but it is well I know next to nothing of magic"

"Someone by the name of Arya I friend and companion of mine. Transported me and the two eggs here when we were ambushed on our way to a town near the edges of the forest called Ceunon." at this he got up and started to pace just as I was going to speak he said "magic such as that I cannot teach you right now and neither can I explain it."

The 2 dragons landed just outside the cave they had grown a sufficient amount even to the size of being rideable. The blue one with scales every hue of blue I could and changed with the light's reflection. The green one was much the same I looked at both of them. The green one was larger not by much but none the less larger than my blue.

"Humans, you all sleep way to long, I was worried you may not wake up"

I looked around surprised the voice had been female but there were no female's here and I did not think Dahuk would play with me right now.

Dahuk went up to the green dragon and sliding his hand from it's head to the base of it's neck he seemed to be lost in conversation the only problem being he was not speaking.

"I am still here Eragon, watching Dahuk and Effiga will not make me disappear"

At the female voice re-entering my head I turned and looked at the blue dragon who nudged it's nose on my chest. The dragons were about 1 and a half times the size of us.

As I turned and faced the dragon again the voice the entered my head once more.

"Yes I am still I can only speak to you by this way as I am sure if you ask Dahuk to he will teach you to harness it. He can speak to us like this quite easily for a two~legs"

"Do you have a name?" I said aloud to the dragon standing in front of me. Loud enough for only her to hear it. As I was sure my dragon was a female after the voice had entered my head now confirmed it was from the dragon.

"Saphira, is my name young one."
