PREVIEW

Eragon has killed Shruiken and has been captured by Galbatorix's forces. He and Saphira have been brought before the king and the king trying to force him to swear allegiance to him.

"Eragon, its over, you have no choice but to swear to me." The evil king told him sinisterly.

"No, I will never swear to you." The teen said simply. "I am not like my foolish brother. I will not give in."

"Eragon, I won't force you to but I will torture you further if you don't come peacefully." He said. "This is your last chance. Will you swear?"

"No, I will never." Eragon stated simply.

"You know Eragon, I had always liked Shruiken and now without a dragon, the people may try to revolt and I don't want that." The king explained.

"Well how do you intend to get another dragon?" Eragon asked. "You can't force the green egg to hatch so it looks like you're out of luck."

"Eragon, you can be foolish, true I cannot force the last egg to hatch but there are other ways of obtaining dragons." He smiled devilishly.

"What do you mean?" Eragon asked.

"Someone must have told you, how I obtained Shruiken that is." He said, still with an evil grin on his face. "I need a way of sneaking up on the Varden without them knowing who it is."

"Well how do you intend on doing that?" Eragon asked again. "Me and Saphira came here alone and the Varden will notice her when she's flying home.

"Well, how would they know it was you who was flying on Saphira." He asked. "I have figured out a way to ruin your reputation give you the worst torture possible."

"What are you saying?"

"I need a dragon Eragon and fortunately you have one."

"What are you…"

Before Eragon could do anything Galbatorix shot a spell out and yelled words which Eragon didn't know in the ancient language. The spell hit Saphira square in the chest and she fell limp.

"What have you done!?!" Eragon cried out. "Saphira!"

"She can't hear you." The king said. "I won't allow her to."

"What do you mean?" Eragon asked.

"Just like Shruiken, Saphira is mine now." Galbatorix said sinisterly. "Now, Saphira get up."

Saphira stood up to her full height and looked up at her new rider.

Yes master.

Take Eragon down to his cell, you may do with him as you wish.

Yes master.

"Tell me Eragon, how does it feel?" he started. "Your dragon is mine and she will destroy the Varden and she will torture you as when I tell her to."

Saphira walked over to Eragon and grabbed him in her teeth. Eragon yelled. He pleaded with her to stop but she bit down harder. His blood was spilling on the floor as Saphira carried him down to the dungeons.
