Eragon – Oops! – Prologue
Author Note: I got this idea, from a mixture of sources. Please review and tell me what you think.
Summary: When training with Oromis, one of Eragon's spells goes completely awry.
The story takes off when Oromis throws a ball of water at Eragon forcing Eragon to catch it. On his second try, Eragon doesn't get it quite right…
"Reisa du Shur'tugal," Eragon immediately regretted his word choice realizing that his thoughts had strayed and caused him to say 'raise the rider' instead of adurna, meaning 'water.' Eragon immediately felt his energy being drained from him. Oromis rushed over to Eragon in an attempt to lend energy to him. The scar given to Eragon by Durza had begun to throb violently and Eragon fell to the floor. Both Glaedr and Saphira, sensing that something was wrong flew back to the clearing. Sensing the pain flowing from Eragon and the constant draining energy, Saphira connected with Eragon allowing him to take her energy as well. Do not worry little one, I am here. Despite all of their efforts, Eragon's body soon fell limp and unconscious.
When Eragon next awoke, he found himself on a bed inside of Oromis' cabin. I'm glad to see that you are okay. Eragon opened his eyes halfway before feeling too drained to open them any further. I'm not so sure if okay is the correct way to describe it. Eragon closed his eyes in an attempt to relax. You're okay compared to how you were earlier. You almost died. You should take more care when choosing your words. Saphira warned him. I know, it's just that no matter how much time has elapsed, I can't help but think that I really am a rider. Noticing Eragon's consciousness, Oromis brought a potion to him.
"You almost killed yourself. You need to be more careful next time." Oromis was stern but caring.
"I know, Saphira has already lectured me." Eragon spoke softly for lack of energy. Oromis hefted him up so that he was sitting upright.
"Drink this; it will restore some of your energy. I've been working on it the entire time you were out." He poured the liquid down Eragon's throat. The liquid burned his throat causing him to choke and cough, but it oddly caused him relief.
"How long was I unconscious?" Eragon found the energy in him to open his eyes the rest of the way, but everything around him was blurry.
"Almost 10 hours. That was quite a spell you cast. I've never seen anything like it in my life. It would have killed you if it hadn't been for Saphira's help." Eragon thanked Saphira for her help and devotion. "Would you like to see what you have done?" Oromis looked at Eragon sternly.
"What I have done?" Eragon looked confused.
"A spell that takes that much energy must do something." Eragon feared for the damage he may have caused. "Come." Eragon sat up but quickly became dizzy. He sat there for a minute until the room stopped spinning and then stood up. Bracing himself against furniture and other miscellaneous objects, Eragon followed Oromis into another room.
"Why are we going into another room? I cast the spell outside."
"I told you it was like nothing I had ever seen before." Oromis looked over his shoulder at Eragon. Oromis is worried about the repercussions your spell may cause. Eragon had begun to worry about how much damage he had caused with such a little slip. Looking around the room Eragon had noticed nothing out of the ordinary, until his eyes fell upon one thing. A girl, in a bed.
Author Note: Please review. This is the second Eragon story that I have started in a day. I don't see myself writing both at the same time. Please give me your input. Good and bad.
