The Shade Who Was a Rider

Prologue- Awakening

I wake up, my vision is blurry. I have tromping headache. Every bone body aches and it takes an enormous effort to make the smallest movement. Using every bit of energy I heaved myself up. My vision began to clear and the world around me was revealed.

I was huge room with hundreds of others, all of them wounded. I then looked out a window and I couldn't believe what I saw. A city inside a mountain. A thriving city and it was inside a mountain. What is place? Where am I? Why was I here?

If this place is for wounded and injured what is my injury? I can't an injury. Then I looked there was a strange glowing coming from my heart. I touched area from where the glowing originated from. I was hard like stone, then realised it white glowing gemstone. Was this keeping my alive? I then touched the centre of the stone. Suddenly surge energy flowed through me, my vision went blank. Then I saw my life flashing before me. I remember, this is Farthen Dur, home of the Varden- the rebels who thought against the empire. Eragon was the new rider he thought for the Varden. His dragon was called Sapphira. I then saw my last memory- me sacrificing myself to save my brother, Juddenniken. It was arrow that struck me through the heart. Wait, if arrow had struck me through the heart why aren't I dead. Unless it was the stone, now I remember the white stone was I called the Heartstone.

I can't believe I worked using Heathstone to my life. It was just crazy, insane wild theory of mine. But it worked!

What of the dragon I had stolen? Had it hatched? If It had who was the new rider?

Durza, what is was is fate?

Why are there so many things rushing through my mind?

Juddenniken

Eragon

Saphira

The Dragon Egg

A New Rider?

And Durza...

My concerns then turned to Juddenniken did he survive, I know saved his life but did anything happen after that. Did he get seriously wounded? Or even worse did he die? I hope he alright, he is just by brother but friend, he helped get through of my childhood. We helped eachother. Losing him is losing a part of me and a part of my identity.

Another question is did the Varden know I had awakened? That I had now regained my consciousness, that I was ready to fight for them one more, that I was ready to destroy the emprie. Did they even know I was alive?
