A/N: hello to all who is reading this this is my first fanfiction so I would enjoy hearing constructive criticism. I am writing this fanfiction solely for my own purposes. I feel that most of the other fanfictions about after Inheritance always have new enemies. So therefore you can conclude that this is a book about what could happen after inheritance, if you are looking for a book with new enemies stop reading here. This story will have a soft look at life after the death of Galbatorix. Don't think that this won't be an action story because it will, but it wont have major enemies trying to destroy the riders. So if you still wish to continue I encourage you to review my works. Okay on to the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own any part of the Inheritance cycle all of the rights go to Mr. Paolini.
Chapter 1 the appearance of the stone
It was late at night in the spine, the wind was howling and the trees were swaying. Through the trees one could see a tiny cottage with a fire bright in the fireplace. Suddenly the door opened and a girl walked out to collect firewood, she gathered dry sticks and twigs, muttering all the while about how her life was hard in the winter. This girls name was Linnea and she could not have been more the 14 years of age. Linnea was a girl who escaped from Uru'baen before the battle had started and Galbatorix had been defeated. It has been 10 years since then, and Linnea had just had enough to survive by hunting and then selling the extra meat to the people of Carvahall and Therinsford. Just as Linnea was about to walk in to the cottage with the wood a blinding light appeared out of nowhere and shrunk until it was a small stone lying in the snow for it was November and the spine was covered in a thin layer of snow. Linnea was so surprised that she dropped her whole pile of wood. Then she went over and picked up the stone, it looked like a yellow crystal with white veins running through it. Finally she carried it in to her cottage along with the wood. Linnea finally decided that she had looked at the strange stone long enough and put it in a secret room under the cottage where she kept all of her valuables. Soon later she extinguished the candle on her bedside table and crawled into bed. It wasn't until much later that evening that she heard agitated voices in her dreams.
A/N: I used the character Linnea even though it was in the Inheritance Cycle; it is the same name but a different character. I hoped you like it and please review to let me know your thoughts, I will try to update twice or three times a week.
