Hello this is my first eragon fic, i hope you read and review to tell me if you like it of not
I dont own any of the eragon stuff
In my story Brom lives to help Oromis with Eragon's training in Ellesmera, and Glaedr and Oromis are in good health + a dragon leg for Gleadr. Eragon has already gone through the Agaeti Blodhren and is elf like. That is where my original characters will meet up with them.
Chapter 1
Flashback
Oromis sighed as he looked down at the six eggs that the dragons had given to the riders. He concentrated and cast the spell that would allow the baby dragons to stay in their eggs until the right person came in contact with them. He thought about what to do next, and the horrid fact that Galbatorix would take over. Galbatorix had many Forsworn, and four eggs waiting to hatch for him. There were only eleven riders left, two without dragons, and little hope for victory.
'What am I going to do Glaedr; Vrael has told us to go into hiding in Du Weldenvarden with the elves, and to hide this clutch of eggs for a last chance of dragons? Saphira was the last female dragon alive.'
'Hide them somewhere secret and safe, then go to Ellesmera and wait for Galbatorix to be weak enough and the elves strong enough to destroy his reign of terror.'
'If you say so'
Glaedr flew them to a remote tributary of the Ramr river and placed them in a small cave on the south side of the beach. He spoke in the ancient language a spell to protect the eggs from all but the pure of heart. With that they fly to Ellesmera to wait.
End Flashback
Maeria and Tobias Grymeas were adopted fraternal twins, both had grown up in the small town of Bullridge with their parents Samuel and Gwyn Grymeas. Their parents were cruel and treated them poorly, but they didn't mind much. The twins were full of energy and were hardy ever upset. This all changed one day when their parents went so far as to try and sell them as slaves.
'I cant believe those people,' thoughtMaeria as her and Toby(what they called Tobias) were planning their escape. It was very late at night as they packed their light travel bags. They took some money from their parents rooms, and stored food in Maeria's pack. In Toby's they placed an extra set of clothes. Both carried bows for protection on their way to Gil'ead. They quietly sneaked out of their house and easily made it out of the town, from their they headed northwest.
Toby and Maeria were both fifteen years of age, almost sixteen. Both had light brown hair and vibrant green eyes. All of their life they had been complemented on their comparable looks. They were the envy of many people for they both had desirable good attributes and slim muscled bodies, from years of slave work.
They had stolen two small horses for the trek to Gil'ead, a black one, and a silver gray one. The person who was supposed to be guarding the stables was fast asleep
On their way through the grasslands they didn't talk much. They made it to a fast passed offshoot of the river Ramr.
"How will we cross this?" Toby cried,
"How do you think Toby? We follow it until we find shallow calm water." Maeria said authoritatively.
It was dusk when they finally made camp in a grove of trees on the sandy beach. Toby decided to check around to see if it was safe.
"Maeria! Come for a walk, it is a rice evening."
"Look at how many stars there are, it will be nice to take a walk."
Unknown to them, this path was one that the great dragon rider Oromis traveled years and years before. They came upon a cave which would be a tight fit for them, but they managed. Six masterfully polished stones sat on a granite table in the center of the cave. Words were etched into the center of the table that they couldn't read. They couldn't know that the words were a spell alerting Oromis that someone had taken an egg.
"Wow, look at these, they could fetch thousands of crowns on the market. We hit the jackpot sis!" Toby exclaimed.
"They are beautiful," Maeria responded in a quiet voice.
Each stone was a different color; there was a silver stone, a canary yellow one, a bronze one, white, purple, and rusty orange. They all looked like gems of incredible value. Toby had already gone out to get the bad so he could collect all of the stones, but Maeria was inching closer. She then rubbed her hand of the smooth surface of each one. The last stone she touched, the bright yellow one did something strange, and moved a bit.
'What in Alagaesia?' she though.
The yellow stone started vibrating until it shook so much that a crack appeared, then more cracks. Soon a lizard like creature the size of a small cat came from what she now knows is an egg, a DRAGON egg.
When Maeria and Toby were younger they used to make believe that they were dragon riders, and could use magic. They knew though that the only rider in existence was King Galbatorix and his dragon Shruikan. Her thoughts were like a raging river in her head.
'Am I a rider now?'
The yellow diamond like dragon looked up expectantly at her with its intelligent yellow eyes. She reached her hand out and touched it. Ice filled her veins flowing through her hand and body. She lost consciousness in time to see Toby appear at the entrance to the cave.
When Maeria regained consciousness she saw Toby aiming an arrow at the yellow dragonling. There was a presence in her mind and she looked around. It clearly told her that it was scared and very hungry. She concentrated on the feeling and saw the dragon turn around.
"Stop!" she yelled at her brother.
"Look at what that thing did to you?"
"I want to keep it," she said in a tone that clearly meant this conversation is over. "But we need to feed it."
Toby looked around and saw the shards of the egg. He felt a twinge of jealousy for he had always wanted a pet dragon.
"Does this mean all of these are eggs?" he said, "Are you a rider now?"
"I think so," she replied, she didn't know what she was.
"What did you do?"
"I just went around and touched them all. Then this one moved," she answered.
Toby did just as she said, but none of the eggs moved. To say he was disappointed would be an understatement. "Why did it hatch for you?" he asked. Maeria was already out of the cave with her dragon, intent on getting it some of the meat in her pack.
'These eggs could turn the tide in the war, I need to find people who are against Galbatorix.'
In Ellesmera
Oromis jumped to his feet; finally someone had found the eggs. After hurriedly writing a note to Eragon saying he would be gone for a few weeks and to continue practicing he jumped onto Glaedr, and headed for the cave on the river.
