Eragon stood atop the huge Kontor Cliff overlooking Lundo, the city he had created for the new dragons and their riders. Saphira stood next to him looking very proud at their creation. It had been just two years since they left Algaësia but there were already four glittering houses in the valley.

The first task that Eragon gave every Rider and dragon was to build their own house or go without shelter. There were just three. A dwarf, an urgal, and a human. The fourth house was his own.

Eragon saw a beautiful silver dragon take flight and rise towards the cliff. Eragon smiled and waved at the Rider. The Rider waved back. Landing next to him the Rider dismounted.

"Good day Eragon-Elda," said Lucipher, "Good day Saphira-Elda." Silverein hummed with his musical voice and said, how are you today Eragon and Saphira-Elda?

"Why great thank you," said Eragon, "you two are up early the day has just started." We wanted to tell you of the news that we bring from Algaësia. We know that it is only but our third day here and our house is not even fully completed but we wanted tell you that the other egg you sent back, the green and brown one has hatched for an elf by the name of Vanir but ten days ago.

"Vanir!?" Eragon exclaimed with an incredulous look at Saphira. "The young elf with black hair that won't shut up?"

"Yes master that is a very accurate description of him," said Lucipher with a chuckle, "you should've heard him after that dragon hatched for him." Eragon smiled at the thought and returned his gaze to the beautiful valley and saw that the dwarf Fortün and the urgal Sartar had emerged from their houses and were chat ting in the square. Eragon motioned for Lucipher to follow him and mounted Saphira and took off. Saphira wasted no time and dove straight at the ground with such speed that Silverein was left way behind.

Fortün laughed and waved at him and the two remaining dragons on the ground spewed fire into the air. Fortün and Sartar had been in the valley for almost a year now. Their dragons were still significantly smaller than Saphira but nearly ten feet longer than Silverein who was only three months old. Sartar walked up to Eragon after he landed and greeted him and Saphira. Fortün did the same. The two dragons prance out from behind Fortün's house and approached Eragon and Saphira. The one on the left was slightly smaller and a beautifully rusty bronze color, her name was Elenea, she was bonded with Fortün. The one on the right was larger and was a dark orange color, his name was Razün and he was bonded with Sartar. Razün greeted Saphira first, then Eragon; Elenea, vise-versa.

Eragon opened his mouth to speak but was cut short by the roar of a dragon. He turned and looked at Silverein accusingly but Silverein's boise echoed in his head not me look on the horizon. Eragon did as he was told and smiled. A very small green and brown dragon was approaching and puffing smoke the whole way. On its back was a figure whooping with delight. All Riders mounted and took to the air to meet Vanir and his dragon.

"Hello friends," yelled Vanir when they got in ear-shot, "this is Sultan my dragon and I am thrilled to join you."

"Hello Vanir," proclaimed Eragon using magic to make his voice amplified, "Welcome to Lundo our humble home for eternity." The other Riders chuckled knowingly but Vanir was new here.

"I bring news of the upmost importance, allow us to land and discuss," said Vanir swooping towards the clearing below them. Razün immediately flew off to get a deer he caught earlier for Sultan and Eragon looked at Vanir.

"What news is this," questioned Eragon.

"A new evil has arisen in Algaësia," started Vanir, "An unstoppable force of 500 shades have arrived on the Western coast of Algaësia near Vroengard. Arya, Nasuada, Orik, and Nar Garzhvog have all met to discuss this problem. This is infinite times worse than Galbatorix, Eragon, they need your help. They need all of your help."

Eragon thought for a moment then shook his head, "No. We will not go back because we cannot help in any way to make the difference in this new war. There is only one person who can and you know this Vanir, that person is Elva.
