Prologue
There were once three eggs under Galbatorix's control. There was a sapphire colored egg, a ruby colored egg, and a silver colored egg that all shined as brightly as a star. The sapphire colored egg had been stolen away from him by a man of the name Helfring of Furnost, though he was sent to steal all three and only managed to take but one. Helfring ran off, deep into Alagaësia to keep the egg for himself.
Brom, another Dragon Rider and spy for the Varden, soon learned of this and went out to find Helfring and deliver the egg to the Varden. Brom made up an excuse and quickly left Morzan's palace, and more importantly, Selena, the mother of Eragon.
Morzan, the first and last of the Forsworn, quickly heard word of this from Galbatorix and also left his estate to find the egg.
Morzan found and killed Helfring, retrieving the egg, and starting on his way back to the evil king Galbatorix's lair. At his stop in Gil'ead, Brom found him. The two faced off, sword to sword, in the end Brom stumbled off triumphantly.
Brom then took the egg to the Varden, who were in the Beor Mountains. After giving the egg over to the Ambassador of the elves, Arya, Brom left for Carvahall, located in Palancar Valley. Once Brom got there, he stayed. He stayed only to watch over his son, Eragon, who was living with his aunt, uncle, and cousin at the time.
Many years later, Arya was traveling from Ellesméra, the capital city of Du Weldenvarden. She was trotting out of the immense forest, when the Shade Durza attacked her, and captured her. Just before she was captured, she shot of the sapphire egg using magic.
The egg landed in a part of the Spine that Eragon had been hunting in. He found the egg and brought it home, where it hatched for him. Eragon was then the first Dragon Rider in vast number of years. The Dragon that had hatched for him, was then given the name of Saphira.
(AN: I can't continue on from there because; 1. It would take to long, and 2. Because it would be plagiarism)
Murtagh, a supposed friend of Eragon's, was takenby Urgals to Urû'baen, where the ruby colored egg then hatched for him, leaving only the silver one left.
Sorry this chapter was short, but I did this incase anyone who was reading this hadn't read some of the books, I wanted a small recap on them.
