As the boat silently drifted down the river, Eragon lay down on the boat and thought of the things he left at Alagaesia. Roran, Nausauda, Orik, Arya...at least he could see them through the magical mirrors he had given them. The boat suddenly stopped.
"We'll camp here for the night, Shadeslayer." Blodgharm said. Saphira landed beside them, her scales glistening in the light of the fading sun. They unpacked and lit up a fire.
"I'll go find something to eat." Eragon said. The elves nodded.
"Go on, Saphira. Get yourself something to eat. I don't always fall in trouble everytime you leave me." the rider said to his dragon, who was watching him carefully.
No, but you do most of the time. The dragon said. What about last week, when you were attacked by a giant boar?
It was nothing. I could have taken care of it myself.
Yes. Saphira snorted, Which was exactly why you got that nasty little scar.
I'm fine. Eragon said, rubbing his arm where the boar had left its mark, Anyway, just go. I promise not to fall in trouble.
Of course you do. It's just that trouble finds you. And with that, Saphira spread her massive wings and took to the air, scaring off a few birds perched in their nests. Eragon smiled, and went into the forest to find something to eat.

It didn't take long for him to find something to eat. Some of the trees had fruits that were already ripe, and he was luck enough to gather a handful of nuts which the animals hadn't taken. He was just about to turn around and go back to camp when he found some trees torn off, as if something fell from the sky and crashed into them.
Curiosity killed the cat, Eragon thought. He stood there for a moment, and decided to go where it led to. He found that it led to a cave, well hidden between the forest. Huge claw marks littered the ground in front of it. The rider decided to take a peek. He didn't have to look long before he found a door. Inside were hundreds of eggs, all black as night. He knew what they were, and knew one when he saw one.
"Ra'zac." he whispered quietly.
