Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
I know that I wasn't originally going to write any more fanfiction but I have gotten ahead of schedule and have decided to write this. The last egg has hatched for Arya.
"Eragon, Arya wishes to see you at once!" A messenger said as he burst into the tent.
Eragon was busy cleaning Saphira's scales and was surprised to see the visitor. The rider slowly got to his feet and walked over to the young boy.
"Arya wishes to see me? Do you know what for?"
"No. She is waiting in the command trip. She said something about a prophecy."
Without waiting for Saphira, Eragon sprinted out of the tent and entered the command tent which was only a few away from his and Saphira's. Upon entering, he saw Arya with an exhausted expression on her face.
"You wanted to see me?"
"Yes. I have bad news Eragon. I have read over a prophecy in one of our ancient books and there is one about you."
"And?"
"It talks of you and Saphira. I am afraid it doesn't speak well of you. The prophecy says that you and Saphira will be forced to join the king. It will be you that will destroy the Varden."
Eragon stood there for several seconds without moving. He slowly reached his hand up and ran it through his hair.
"Me?"
"Yes. You know what we must do."
"You must separate me and Saphira."
"I am afraid so. There is no way to separate you with magic that we elves know of. She must separate willingly."
"When must it be done?"
"Now."
Without another word, Eragon pushed the tent flap open and walked slowly back towards Saphira's tent. Tears ran down his face as he entered and saw Saphira standing in front of him.
Little one, what are you crying about?
Go away Saphira. I no longer want you.
What?
I hate you! Leave the Varden! Never come back!
Saphira now was staring at Eragon in disbelief. Then the thought hit her.
Arya must have denied him again. He'll be back to normal in a few days.
Saphira! Go away! Break away from me!
Without speaking again, Saphira walked by Eragon and launched herself into the sky. Not to be seen again. Slowly, Eragon did his part and broke his bond with Saphira. As soon as it was done, Eragon collapsed.
Several miles away from the Varden:
Murtagh! A voice sounded in the red rider's head.
Yes master.
The first step in my plan has begun. Eragon has separated from Saphira.
How did you manage to do that?
My spy planted a false prophecy in the elven texts. Take Thorn and capture Saphira. Since Eragon's bond is broken with her she will be weak. Make her swear to the empire and bring her back here.
Are we going to attack?
No. My spy also planted another false rumor. It speaks of another dragon egg. Arya will attempt to steal it and when she does we will ambush her.
I will bring Saphira to you. We will be there tomorrow.
Murtagh broke the connection with the king and told Thorn their mission.
How are you going to get Saphira to swear?
Galbatorix told me a spell that will force her to swear to him.
Are you ready? I can see Saphira now.
Well, this will be easier than expected.
With that, Murtagh mounted his dragon and Thorn shot into the sky. He roared loudly and before Saphira knew what hit her, Thorn slammed into her side and sent the blue dragoness spiraling towards the ground. Murtagh chuckled and ordered Thorn to catch her before she hit the ground. He did so and was barley able to stop her fall. Murtagh hopped off Thorn's back and used magic to bind Saphira with invisible chains.
Murtagh! Let me go!
I'm afraid I cannot do that Saphira. We have some very special plans for you.
Back at the Varden.
Eragon was sitting on his bed with Arya by his side. Tears were steadily flowing down his face and he wouldn't let anyone into his mind. Slowly, he looked down at his hand and he yelped in surprise.
"Arya, my Gedway Ignasia is gone!"
Arya gasped and stared at his palm.
"Eragon, that can only mean one thing. Saphira has joined the king."
