Well welcome to the start of my new story. For those of you who are reading this and don't know what's going on I suggest you read my first story: Rise of the Riders
The Rise of the Riders: Dawn of a New Era
"Tis a glorious day Saphira, our dream is becoming a reality"Eragon thought to Saphira
"Aye little one, our journey is about to begin, it is a strange feeling"she replied, making a sound Eragon had labelled as laughter "Feels like only the other day I hatched for you and now look at us, soon to be teaching the new generation of riders"
"It's a daunting prospect..."
"True little one but the best challenges are the ones that seem the most difficult"The blue dragon told him reassuringly
"You know Saphira, you've become a lot wiser as of late" Eragon told her, jokingly
"True, but we need to act wiser if not become wiser, we need to show that we know what we are doing little one"
"Aye Saphira, you're right... as always"Eragon replied, smiling at the sight of the dragons growing bigger.
He sighed to himself and looked around at his new family, some who he had known during the war, and some he had fought with and against, the newest members as well. Some he had only met a few months ago but nevertheless they had quickly shown themselves to be a huge part of his new life away from the problems of war and illness. By tomorrow the magnificent halls of Doru Anora would house their first students; on top of that it would be the return of Rhunon and Vanir along with the new elves.
The dragons approached ever closer, you could know see the silhouettes of the riders on the backs of the dragons, long shadows fell across the water, birds scattered to make way for the magnificent beasts. Eragon made his way over to Kuldr, the black haired rider stood tall and proud watching the clear skies.
"Kuldr-Elda, tell me, how much teaching experience do you have teaching" Eragon asked, curiously
Slowly Kuldr turned his gaze from the blue skies to Eragon "Well I've taught a few riders in their first year at Doru Araeba but since then I've had none, anyway Eragon, what are we all teaching?" Kuldr replied, posing a question of his own
"Well, so far I have you teaching intellectual studies, principles and sciences and things of that nature, I was thinking of putting you into sword fighting and archery but I decided to leave that to Aninya and Kaira for as you know they are excellent fighters overall, and since there are two of them it would be easier to control a class of fighting students, Saphia is teaching magic with Blodhgarm and me Saphira, Thorn and Murtagh are teaching flying and dragon back fighting. Rhunon of course will be teaching craftsmanship, Vanir is teaching survival skills with Blodhgarm and you, healing is taught by Saphia and Murtagh and finally Kaira, Aninya and Vanir are in charge of physical and mental conditioning" Eragon answered calmly "The elves that will arrive are going to be caretakers and aids to the teachers, they will be a type of supervisor to the students"
"You've put a lot of time into this haven't you? It looks like you're taking up the task of 'Headmaster' quite well" Kuldr chuckled
"Well I have to put time into this, we don't want chaos breaking out now do we" Eragon replied, laughing with Kuldr "How long till they get her?"
"I reckon about thirty minutes at the rate they're flying, looks like they're preoccupied with the view, although that is a benefit of flying, you always get to use the scenic route" Kuldr told him
"Aye Kuldr-Elda, I'd say it's one of the best features of wings" Saphira added, making that same sound that she used for laughter. Eragon laughed with her as he walked over towards the dragon
"You know Saphira, I think you've grown bigger"Eragon said, patting her on her left front leg
"Really!"Saphira exclaimed "Measure me, I want to know!"
"Calm down, so much for becoming wiser, you become so childish at these things"Eragon said, smiling
"Even though I don't act like it, by your age I am still a child, by elven age I'm nothing more than a small baby"Saphira replied, slightly annoyed at his childishness comment, she kicked out her leg, sending him to the ground
Laughing, Eragon picked himself up to the quizzical looks of the elves and Murtagh. Sheepishly Eragon turned to face them "Sorry, I may have called Saphira childish and she just proved my point by pushing me to the ground" he told them, slowly the watchers turned around, not wanting to witness Saphira's response to that comment.
Eragon turned around to see his dragon towering over him, glaring at him, slowly she moved away and began staring back at the clouds. Eragon breathed a huge sigh of relief, looking back at the skies to see that the Dragons had begun their descent to the ground. Quickly the watchers stepped out of the way of the landing strip to give the dragons enough time to adjust their positions so that they could land properly and efficiently. This was the first time that Eragon had seen the riders and the dragons, making out the colours of the dragons and the species of the riders. He knew it would take time to get to know the riders but it was something he had to do. A short while later, the first students touched down on Doru Anora.
