Once in a far off place, a baby boy was born. His name was Eragon. He was not an ordinary baby. While his mother was rocking him , he never would have guessed that he would become the legendary Dragon Rider, Eragon Shadeslayer. . As he grew up, the child always helped living things in need. He devoted his time practicing magic, hoping to make the world forever at peace. This is the story of how young Eragon battled King Galbatorix in an attempt to stop his cruelty, and free Alagaesia from his wrath.
Elsewhere, in his castle, King Galbatorix plots with his evil minion, Durza. He had heard of Eragon and his loving, gracious heart, and wanted to put an end to him. " That boy is ruining my plans !", King Galbatorix hissed. " If I'm planning to take over Alagaesia, then he has to be eliminated. Durza, take my finest men and capture him. ALIVE. If I find him dead, then your dead. Now go"
A few hours later, as Eragon was walking around, he heard a raspy voice. When he turned around, Eragon found himself face to face with an old man. Startled, he jumped back. He took a good look at him. He was small, about the height of a legendary sword called Zarroc. He had cottony, gray hair like billowing clouds. His torso was bare, but covered in so much grime and dust, he looked as black as the earth itself. His tiny legs and arms had as many bruises as there were stars in the sky. His dull and gray eyes indicated to Eragon that he was one of the blind beggars who roamed the town looking for something to eat . But was he? Eragon didn't know that this was Durza in disguise. "Poor sir", Eragon said, " I'll take you home with me to clean you up and give you something to eat." So Eragon took the old man home with him. As soon as they reached the cottage entrance, the old man turned back into Durza. " I have orders from King Galbatorix to take you to him", said Durza.
" Well, your master will be greatly disappointed", Eragon said defiantly. And with that, Eragon unsheathed his sword and pierced Durza through the arm. " You may have escaped me, but we'll meet again.", Durza yelled before he vanished in a maroon explosion.
For awhile, Eragon was not disturbed. But about a month after, Eragon was walking along in the forest when suddenly he met an elf " I've been told to tell you", the elf stuttered, " that King Galbatorix is coming to capture you. He found out that you were trying to help Alagaesia, and wants you eliminated so he can carry out with his evil plans. At the full moon, 12'o'clock sharp, he will cast his evil spell to conquer Alagaesia. Once he has done that, he will be invincible. To help you defeat King Galbatorix, I will give you three gifts. The first is a enchanted bow. When you aim for a target, the arrow will never miss its mark. Use this only when King Galbatorix is about to cast his spell. Aim for his crown, because once its off his head, then he will lose him powers. The second it comes off, use a sword and cut him wand in half. Then he will be vulnerable to even the slightest touch.
The second gift I will give you is a sword. It is not just any sword; it is Zarroc. It belonged to the Eragon, the first Dragon Rider. Guard it well because it will help you in times of great need. When King Galbatorix's crown is off, it's very important to use this sword and cut the wand in half. Then, and only then, may you deal with him as you please. The third and final gift I will give you is a magic cordial. If you are wounded, use this to heal yourself. Only put a drop on. If you are unable to move, then just call out, " Come bottle", and it will glide over to you. Don't worry about the bottle breaking because it's made of diamonds. The gifts will be waiting for you when you get home. I'm afraid I must leave you, for elsewhere I must be." As soon as the faerie said that, it disappeared. Eragon started home, stunned by what had just happened.
