Chapter 1- the dream

Eragon's P.O.V

A young hatchling dragon with purple scales and black wings fights the shade Durza on the borders of trees, behind a fortress of stone. The dragon was fighting bravely to defeat the Shade, despite numerous gashes and wounds. The small dragon suddenly flew up into the air with great difficulty, knowing the battle was lost. Suddenly archers were on the roof, bows trained on the dragon. "Fire," screamed Durza, and the twang of bowstrings resounded into the air. The dragon banked to the left to avoid the volley, but catching some of the deadly shafts on its wings. The dragon flew on, and crashed to the ground a safe distance away and blacked out.

With a blinding flash, the dream ended. Eragon sat up, looking around him, almost expecting to see the dragon in the clearing. What are you looking for, little one? asked Saphira. I had a dream, Eragon replied. And it seemed so real. The hatchling dragon was so vivid, and I could feel the fear and determination. Eragon looked at Saphira, wondering if his dream was a premonition of things happening elsewhere. A dream like this one had occurred before, like the woman in the cell. He still hadn't figured that one out yet, either. Maybe it was only a dream, little one. Maybe, Saphira, "Eragon, get your horse saddled, we might reach Terim today, if we can ride fast enough." instructed Brom. Eragon began saddling Cadoc as he watched Saphira fly out to hide herself from travelers. They began to ride, until it was almost the end of the day, yet Terim's gates were no where in sight, and the forest's trees hadn't thinned at all. "We can make camp here for tonight, and tomorrow we should reach the city. There is an old friend who might be able to help us find the place the sethir oil was shipped to." Eragon nodded and stopped his horse. Saphira, were making cap for the night, we should get there tomorrow. The sapphire blue of Saphira's scales were visible as she flew towards them and landed.

Onyx's P.O.V

There is another dragon and a rider there, maybe they can help me, my wounds are killing me, I thought. My once wound free deep purple hide and black leathery wings were littered with giant gashes, and my wings were tattered. It was a wonder I could fly still. I couldn't breathe fire yet, and thanks to the damn shade Durza I was like this. Coward, using magic instead of blade to slice my hide. I could have destroyed the evil thing. "I hear rustling in the bushes," the rider said. I was now or never. The other dragon started walking towards my hiding spot. I was too weak, and I began to slip in to unconsciousness. I faintly felt myself being picked up by the tail and dragged towards something warm. Then I felt and heard nothing.

Saphira's POV

Another dragon! I could tell this dragon was wild, and a female. But I was not the only actually sane member of my race! Eragon! Another dragon! But she's injured and badly. She doesn't have a rider, her rider would have been with her. I carefully grabbed her tail after she passed out, and dragged her over to Brom and Eragon near the fire; they would know how to treat her wounds. Brom was just as shocked as Eragon. Saphira, another dragon! Do you think she is a offspring of Shrukian? No, Eragon, I do not. She is wild, and there is no other old enough female dragon that I know of, even if there was, she would still be with Galbatorix, not here. "Eragon, get some rags cleaned and a pot of hot water!" barked Brom. Eragon scampered of hurriedly to get the materials. "Waise Heil" Brom chanted over her wounds, and the flesh knitted back together on the more minor of the large injuries. On the deep ones, he uttered more complicated ones. The bruises were left alone; Brom had no energy to continue. The one oozing cut on her hind leg was cleaned out and wrapped up with a clean cloth. She began to stir, and started to speak.

Onyx's POV

I blinked and looked up at the dragon and old one bent over me. I felt something in my leg, and saw it was only a cloth. Thanks for helping me, I'm called Onyx. I was fighting Durza when I accumulated these wounds. I thanked them; after all, they saved me and healed my wounds that had sapped at my energy. "How did you get here? Your wings were in pretty bad shape, Onyx." Asked the old one. I was hatched about three months ago, on some large ancient human dwelling on a mountain. Then Durza destroyed my home, and I flew off to deal with him, but instead of fighting, like the coward he is, he used magic to slice my hide open, and now I am here. That's everything, except for another dragon I hatched with. Durza took him, he was my best friend, like a mate. I saw him forced to swear fealty to Galbatorix after Durza stole him from me. I told them everything and I left nothing out. I felt like I could trust them. You've been through a lot. If you needed a mother…. Saphira spoke to me in private. Thanks, I always wanted a mother, I was never with anyone except for my almost- mate, Dramur. I was silent for a moment. I vowed to myself to rescue Dramur no mater what. He was the best dragon a dragoness could wish for. Doesn't Dramur mean dream in the ancient language? Asked my new adoptive mother. Yes, I guess. But I am named after a deep purple gemstone, and he is a dream dragon. Though I can do a cool trick too, want to see? I lifted my forepaw and my ball of fire popped into existence above it. "What on earth?" Eragon and Brom said. "I have heard of dragons like you, Onyx. They are a elemental dragon of sorts, like a channel of elements, while having complete control. Have you met any others like you?" I have. My almost mate, Dramur. He was one who controlled dreams. He was… "I understand," said Brom. "We should rest now if we are to make it to Terim tomorrow. Onyx, would you mind staying with Saphira while we are there?" No, Brom, I will stay with Saphira. And with that, every one went to sleep.

A/N: I tend to write faster, and more with reviews. I might put up a chapter in another day if I get at least three reviews on this chapter.
