Hey, this is my very first shot at a fanfiction, so please don't criticize me for any of my writing. Anyway, I got this idea for a story while reading another story, so I hope you like it as much as I enjoy writing it. Here we go.
He walked through the silent halls, his footsteps the only sound in the hallway. The soft tapping of his boots was the only audible noise, along with the sharp clicking of the ruby dragon following closely behind him.
What are you thinking about, young one? Thorn, the dragon asked the man.
Just thinking about what Galbatorix said. The man said after a while.
Thorn thought back to the moment when the two had been back in the throne room. Galbatorix had said that they would be having some company with them in the dragon hold.
The Razac and their steeds had stayed there before when reporting to the king, but they had been found in Helgrind slain by what appeared to be a hammer, staff, and a dragon. No doubt Eragon and his cousin Roran had gone there to try to kill the Razac and possibly find the Katrina, Roran's fiancé.
Murtagh, for it was he, allowed himself a small smile. How ignorant they were of what his King knew about them. Eragon had told him of his cousin's predicament before the Razac paid a visit to Carvahall. After learning this, Galbatorix had Katrina shipped to Uru Baen immediately.
Murtaugh paused for a moment as he felt a mind clumsily brush his own. He immediately threw up his mental shields, preparing for an attack, but when none came, he became curious. He slowly extended his mind preparing for any retaliation or mental stab. Eventually, he sensed a mind in the dragon hold, a mere twenty feet away now.
He frowned; he now knew what had happened. The third egg had hatched under Galbatorix's control, and the third rider was now in a small chamber of the hold. Murthagh silently wished that it had not happened, now Eragon would be completely overwhelmed in battle. Also, after the Battle of the Burning Plains, Galbatorix had him swear more oaths preventing him from showing Eragon any mercy in battle. Two riders against him would only be worse.
Murtaugh slowly opened the door, not to alert the new rider and startle them. Thron slowly followed behind his rider and entered, to find a woman with a small green dragon on her lap.
The tiny dragon looked up at the two newcomers, and immediately hissed, trusting neither rider nor dragon. It backed up slightly into the arms of the woman, a pretty one with coppery, wavy hair.
The woman looked up at Murtaugh and Thorn and quietly said, "Hello, this is Tiadar, my name is Katrina."
Ooh, bet you didn't see that coming did you? Anyway, don't worry about the shortness of the first chapter, this is just a teaser. In other words, much more to come later. Hope you enjoyed it and I hope you will keep reading. BTW, reviews would be welcome, and if anybody had any better names for Katrina's dragon, they would be welcome. Also, constructive criticism (not just flat out criticism) is very welcome.
