This is my first Eragon fic so read and review.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters in this except the main character and his dragon.
Prologue: The Dream
It started with a dream.
The dream, I guess.
Anyways, I was on my family's farm in a field lying down.
I had just finished plowing and it was getting dark.
Damn, it's freezing out here, I thought.
I remember that Aiedel was very bright.
Maybe that had to do with it.
I remember starting to drift off and reawaking quickly.
The world became dark and then blinding white, yes, I remember that all to clearly.
I was in a forest of some kind.
All light was diminished, but I do remember seeing a glowing, green ball floating about thirty feet to my right.
I looked down at my feet and was surprised to find shoes!
My family was to poor to afford shoes.
I looked at my chest.
There was a red, silky tunic.
I immediately thought I'm dreaming that I'm a prince.
I have had dreams like that.
Come, for it is almost time, a feminine voice emanated inside my head.
It sounded like it had all the authority of the world.
"Who are you?" I asked demandingly.
I am what I am, but I am also an animal of myth and lore, it said.
At this point I decided for the best to call it a she.
Why am I here, I thought?
You are here to save your family, friends, and Alagaesia, she answered.
What! I'm just some guy off of the outskirts of Therinsford. Why me? I overreacted.
You will find an odd object if you go to the stream by your farm. Keep it and you will see the answers, she said with infinite grace.
The forest was fading.
I could see myself lying in the grass in my farm clothes.
"No, wait! Who are you?" I yelled.
I woke up and looked around, my heart in my throat.
It was just a dream, Jon, I thought to myself; you'll be ok.
Little did I know, that dream screwed up my life big time.
