Hey guys! I wrote this for an English assignment years ago but I only just created a Fan Fiction account recently so I figured I should post the very first fic I ever wrote. Hopefully my writing has improved since then and maybe I'll go back and rewrite this sometime but for now, enjoy the story! Please leave me a review and tell me what you think.
One Year Later…
Orik-
A heavy sigh escaped the dwarf king's lips. He knew he should be celebrating with the other dwarves from his clan, Dûrgrimst Ingeitum, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. When Eragon and his dragon Saphira left Alagaësia, he gave two dragon eggs to the elf Queen and fellow Dragon Rider, Arya. The eggs were to be given to the dwarves and the Urgals. A purple egg had been given to the dwarves and had been moving between the clans for the past few months. Then it had finally arrived at Orik's clan. Two days after its arrival, the egg showed signs of hatching and in another day, a small purple dragon broke free from its prison for a dwarf named Thorv. Thorv named the young dragon Urûr after the dwarfish god of the air and Thorv became the very first dwarf Rider. The original pact with the dragons said that only elves and humans could become Riders, but Eragon had managed to change that pact so that dwarves and Urgals could also become Riders.
While everyone around him was filled with joy, Orik felt only great sorrow, for his friend and foster brother was gone. It's been a year since Eragon left Alagaësia to find a home for all the dragon eggs. Before leaving, Eragon gave Orik a mirror connected, by magic, to one Eragon has. The day the egg hatched, Orik told Eragon the news and asked him how the search for a new home was going. After a year searching, Eragon still hadn't found a place suitable to house and protect young dragons.
As soon as Urûr was strong enough, he and Thorv would leave Dûrgrimst Ingeitum, head out for the great forest Du Weldenvarden and seek out the elf city of Ellesméra where they would be taught the ways of magic by the Rider, Arya. When she deemed them ready, Thorv and Urûr would set out for wherever Eragon and Saphira were to finish their training. Thinking of his friends made Orik depressed. 'Fate must be cruel,' Orik thought, 'to grant one power to fulfill the dreams of thousands, only to then make the wielder of such power leave behind their loved ones for unknown lands'.
So did you hate it? Did you love it? Either way there are more chapters coming so keep a look out for an update.
