So this is basically a story about a girl that gets thrown into Eragon's world. She will face challenges and some crazy stuff are going to happen. Reviews would be much appreciated. Just some constructive criticism would be good. Please review and you can also send me some ideas. Okay enough of me talking here's the story.
"God these packs are so heavy. Of all the things you decide to bring on a camping trip, you bring books goodness what is up with you." My dad says to me. I laughed.
"Well what if I get bored. And you know how much I love these books," I said. There were three books in the pack Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr, all a part of the Inheritance Cycle, my favorite series. I took the heavy pack from him and started running ahead of my dad, mother, little sister and brother. All of a sudden there was a bright flash of light and then darkness.
I groaned as the sun's warm rays woke me up. These camping trips are always a killer on my back. I said to myself. Suddenly, I remembered what had happened and jumped up.
"Shit, shit, shit. Where am I?" The trees were different than the forest that my family camped at. They were old, greener, and taller. The smell of the earth was different. The pack was on the ground next to me.
"Mom, Dad! Emily, William!" I yelled. I paused, listening. No answer. "Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. What kind of mess did you get yourself into this time, Jessica?" The last thing I could remember was the bright flash of light.
"Survival skills," I said to myself, "you never know what you're going to run into." I began to rummage through the pack. First aid kit, part of a tent, a flashlight, some water, a bag of snacks, my books, some matches, a knife, and I paused at the last item, a large pure white stone. I didn't remember putting that in the pack. But for some odd reason I felt connected to it. So I put it in the back along with the rest of the items. I picked up the pack and started walking, hoping to find the nearest camping site. I walked for hours and hours taking in the beautiful scenery of the forest and it soon got darker and darker when at last I had to stop.
"This is pretty freaky," I said to myself. I had never gone on a camping trip alone. I sat down next to one of the large trees and began to make myself a camp. I only had the cloth part of the tent so I draped it over some branches to make a small makeshift tent. I then started a small fire and ate a little of the snacks in the bag. I took the stone out and began to examine it. I scratched at the surface, no paint came off. I then set down the stone and took out the knife and put it near me. I put out the fire and sat against the tree, making sure the knife was close at hand.
A loud squeak woke me up. I stood up suddenly and knocked my head against a branch. I grabbed the knife and looked around. Nothing. Suddenly I heard another squeak. I looked down to where the sound was coming from…the stone.
"Stone's aren't supposed to squeak that's not normal. Oh my god," I whispered to myself. Suddenly a crack appeared in the egg, than another, and another, when suddenly a pure white animal popped right out of the egg. And that animal was a dragon. I dropped the knife.
"Dragon's aren't real. What the hell. You're going crazy Jessica. All of this stuff is going to your head," I said to myself. But what if it was true? What if this was a real? This stuff only happens in books. Three books particularly. The little white dragon clumsily started walking around, observing its surroundings. Then it trained its huge purple eyes on me. I smiled and slowly reached out my right hand to touch its snout. As my palm touched its snout blinding hot pain focused on my palm. I clenched my teeth but didn't say a word. I looked at my palm and stared at the glowing Gedwëy ignasia on my hand. I couldn't believe it. I was thrown into Christopher Paolini's world, the world of magic, dragons, elves, Urgals, dwarves, and many other mythical.
"This is crazy!" I exclaimed. I picked up the small dragon and held it in my arms. I reached out with my mind and I could feel the part of my mind that was connected to this little dragon, the hungry little dragon. I didn't have any meat to give it. I sent my thoughts to the little dragon. It was too small to speak. It looked down sadly, understanding my predicament. It then narrowed its eyes on the small bird that landed outside the tent. I smiled, knowing what it would do. It then pounced, like an uncoordinated kitten on the bird and started eating viciously at it. I knew this little hatchling would be tough and I was its Rider.
"I'm a dragon Rider. I can change this world. I'm in a totally different world. This is crazy. Do you know how crazy this is little dragon? It's crazy." I began talking to it. Using my mind and talking out loud. I began telling about my life and the crazy event that had happened and how our two worlds were totally different. I couldn't get to sleep now.
Jessica.
I jumped and stopped in the middle of my sentence as I stared at my white dragon.
Jessica. It said again.
"Wow you're talking already? That's crazy. You're not even supposed to start talking for a couple more weeks. You're smart." I stated
Of course I am. It said.
"Wow. Full sentences too? You get your smartness from me." I joked. It rolled it's eyes.
So are you a girl or a boy? I asked with my mind. The crucial question that would be great either way.
Girl. It said. No, she said. I laughed.
"Yes. No one knows about us, the new Rider and dragon, the amazing and beautiful female dragon. We can turn this war around." I paused. Did I want war? Did I want to live my life fighting? That was an easy question. And it's answer, yes. I've wanted to do something adventurous all my life. I wanted to be significant, to make a difference.
Ok. I said to my dragon. We are going to start our training soon. I know exactly what to do…well mostly. And they're all in these three books. But first I want to know what I should name you. I began to think about names that would suite my beautiful dragon.
Snow? I asked her.
No.
Hmm. Berfu, Gana, Eira, Eirwen. She chirped at the last one.
"Eirwen it is. Now I need to start training with magic and you need to train with flying so first, we will rest." I said to Eirwen. She nodded in agreement. I closed my eyes and began to sleep, thinking of the crazy things that have happened.
I woke to the sound of a loud chirp. I opened my eyes startled and laughed as I saw Eirwen looking at me innocently with a feather sticking out of her mouth. She had grown immensely through the night and now she was as tall as my shoulder. She kept looking at me with her purple eyes. She had huge eyes like me. I touched my ears, knowing that they would soon become pointed because of magic.
Well are you ready for training? Eirwen asked.
Yeah. Let me see you do some flying. Eirwen then jumped in the sky and started doing crazy moves in the air until finally she landed next to me.
How was that? she asked.
That was amazing! You looked so graceful in the sky. Soon you'll rival Saphira's flying skills. I could feel the joy she felt from my words. I then picked up a stone next to me and decided to start practicing magic. I began concentrating on the stone, willing my magic to make it rise.
"Stenr rïsa!" I yelled. The stone shot out of my hand and flew into the sky, I couldn't even feel any energy drain from me. I laughed.
That was good Big Eyes. Eirwen said to me. I looked at her.
Big Eyes? Of all the things you could call me, you called me Big Eyes? I stuck my tongue out at her playfully. She chuckled. Well that name seems to fit you.
Whatever you say. Why don't we start moving. We don't want to stay in the same place forever. There might be Urgals lurking around. I don't even know where we are.
I packed all the things in my bag. There wasn't much of the snacks left, and barely any water. I took my knife and put the heavy bag over my shoulders.
Do you want me to carry the bag?
Sure. I then put the bag on one of Eirwen's neck spikes. Suddenly, I heard loud war horn being blown nearby. Me and Eirwen looked at each other
We can't let them see you! You have to fly and find somewhere to hide. I told Eirwen urgently.
I can't just leave you here! Whoever those people are, are going to find you and capture you!
I'll be fine! Just go! You are too small for me to fly on your back. Eirwen looked at with worry and then took off, looking for somewhere to hide.
Be safe. Once I find somewhere to hide nearby I will contact you.
I then began to run as fast as I could. Running from whoever was chasing me. I could hear the heavy footsteps of many people behind me. I knew I shouldn't look back, but I did. And what I saw terrified me. Urgals. A small group of them, but I knew I couldn't stand a chance against them. I began to run faster and faster.
I found somewhere to hide! Eirwen said to me. She then showed me images in my mind of a small hidden cave nearby. I then began to run in that direction. Suddenly, blinding pain erupted in my left shoulder. I yelled out and paused as I saw an arrow sticking out of my shoulder. I kept running even though the pain in my shoulder was unbearable. I began taking different turns, hoping to confuse the Urgals. I looked back and couldn't see them anymore, but I could hear them running. The cave then came into view and I ran and jumped into it. Eirwen was sitting there concerned. We both backed up to the very back of the small cave and kept as quiet as we could. I tried to even my breathing.
Did you lose them? Eirwen asked
I don't know. They didn't see me go into the cave, but I know they were following me. Eirwen nodded, looking with concern at my bleeding shoulder. We sat in the cave for what seemed like hours and hours. At one point, we heard the Urgals very near to our hiding place, but luckily they didn't see the cave. We kept sitting silently. Not moving an inch.
I think they're gone. Eirwen said. I nodded. The pain in my shoulder was unbearable, every movement caused me pain.
You need to take this arrow out of my shoulder. Just take your teeth and pull it out. Eirwen nodded and began to come closer to my shoulder.
Wait. I said. I then began to rummage through the sack and then found the first aid kit. I tried looking for something to bite on but couldn't find anything. I nodded at Eirwen, signaling for her to go on. She closed her teeth on the arrow, I clenched my teeth waiting for the pain. She then jerked the arrow out. I let out a small scream and I started breathing heavily, tears streaming from my eyes. I opened up the first aid kit and began rapping the large wound. I finished rapping it and collapsed on the ground, too weak to get up.
Should I give you some of my energy to help you heal it?
No. You need to save your energy. We may run into more enemies. I just need to rest. And with that, I fell into blackness
Well there you have it :) Please Review. Tell me what ya think of it. Any suggestions would be great too. Thanks for reading :)
