"Where is it?!!"
"I sent it to where you will not find it. It is yours no longer. I have lived with you for long enough and seen what your dispassionate heart will do. You do not need someone else to be your vassal and do your evil deeds. You will not get it from me."
"You will live to regret your words!"
The chase had begun weeks before. There was no knowledge of what happened. Many have speculated where it came from and how it was created, but no-one truly knows. Someone found out about it and stole it. For weeks, Galbatorix searched for it and the traitor. For weeks he looked through the minds of all of his people in the castle that would have any possibility to have known about it. He searched and searched, and finally found the traitor. It was the one person that he didn't think would ever betray him.
She was one of the only people that would listen to him when he was in the Spine. She found him when he was in the worst of states. He had passed out in a clearing and was being stalked by wolves when she found him. She chased the wolves off and helped to heal him until he was strong enough to continue on his own. When he finally gained the power of the riders again, he returned and took her with him. She had been his loyal servant and lover for many years since. The thing that had changed now was that she had stolen something from him. That one thing was the only thing that truly mattered to him in her mind.
The day that she stole the egg, he was gone. She didn't know where to and really didn't care. All she cared about was getting it back and getting it away from him. There were things about her that he didn't know and didn't need to know until she wanted to reveal it. She wanted to find a way to get the egg away from him before that ever happened though. She was going to send it to the one place that she thought that he would never look. Carvahall.
She went to the chamber that the egg was located in the middle of the night. There were no guards posted at this location because there was no need. She took the egg and walked with it back to her chambers. She began to cast the spell as soon as she got into the room and had the door shut. Moments later, the spell was finished, there was a bright flash, and the egg was gone. She collapsed and didn't wake again until two days later.
At the same time that she was waking up, so was a young man from Carvahall. Little did either of them know that he was to be the one that would make one of the most important discoveries of their day. He began on his trip in the early morning hours, intent on making it to the river before noon. It would be a long walk, but he had made it before and knew that it was one of the best places for him to fish. On the long walk there, he would finally find his fate, though he would not know it until it finally changed his life.
