The Rescue of the Last Free One
As he was tossed on the ground, he welcomed the black abyss that settled over his eyes, surrounding him by darkness, drawing him in a dreamless sleep.
That night when his master and his dragon were killed, he promised to kill the dark king. But that night happened so long ago. The Varden was shattered, only half of them lived through the kings furry, now scattered all through Alagaesia. Not one willing to resist. But at least his heart, his soul lived and escaped the wrath of the destruction, hidden somewhere nobody could find her.
Saphira, his dragon and best friend, bound by an unbreakable link, lived, somewhere far. He just hoped that she will never be found.
Eragon passed out from torture and exhaustion lay on the cold floor of his cell, nobody could save him, because nobody was left. For five years he has been in this state, tortured and used. But he could not be killed, for Saphira was the last one who could restore the dragon's line.
But one thing was safe; the secrets inside of his mind, for Galbatorix could not find his true name.
He had lost everything he once had, his family, his loved ones… Arya. Nobody knew what happened to her. Eragon lost hope, but lived on so Saphira could too.
Every night his dreams where of the last battle.
The day after the passing of Glaedr and Oromis, Thorn and his half brother, Murtagh attacked. Eragon and Saphira filled with so much furry and anger, defeated them and killed them in cold blood. Thorn was the first one to die, so his Rider could feel his half soul leaving his body. Murtagh soon followed after his dragon to the void. They thought they finally had an equal chance of defeating the king, but they were so wrong. So so wrong.
As Galbatorix heard and felt the passing of his puppets, he flew with his black dragon to the Varden to destroy the people and capture the last free dragon and her rider. He single-handedly destroyed them and imprisoned Eragon.
Fortunately, not before he made Saphira fly away.
These were his dreams he visited every single night for the last five years. Filled with blood and death, no way to escape.
But he did not know that in these passing years, someone lived in Uru'baen who planned to free him.
Little did he know, that this was his last night here, for someone was coming for him, for he was the single thread of hope for all who wished the dark kings death.
He did not know that in that very moment someone opened his door and a human girl, who looked about seventeen summer's old uttered slytha, putting him in a deep dream even though he was already asleep.
She could not afford him waking up, for she was determined that her mission will be a success.
The dark raven haired girl walked silently towards him muttered reisa and lifted him.
But before she could do anything else, three guards came and attacked her. She gracefully wielded the blue sword held in her hand, battling the soldiers. Quietly uttering words that could not be heard, dropping the guards dead on the floor.
As soon as they fell, she turned towards Eragon again, leading him with magic out the door, through the tunnels till they arrived at a dead end. Or was it?
She put her hand on the stone-wall saying jierda du stenr making a way for them. She dragged him with her for several minutes until they reached a door.
Unlocking the door, she was momentarily blinded by the bright light coming from the outside world. She was beginning to grow weaker, from the use of magic, but she knew she had to do this, even if it could kill her.
She lifted both of them in the air with magic and uttered ganga fram, flying them as fast as she could towards the Spine. Five years of power in a single gem that hung around her neck was almost extinguished. But she knew she couldn't give up, for he represented hope.
They flew until the sun began its descent over the sky. Not stopping as they flew over Dras-Leona and the Leona Lake.
The power inside the globe was no more. They landed as they reached the Spine, but she did not stop there. No, she woke him from his slumber.
"Vakna" she whispered before she passed out, surrounded by the dark of the night.
slytha - sleep
reisa - raise/lift
