The Return of Galbatorix
CHAPTER 1
Eragon was woken by a voice in his head. Eragon wake up, said Saphira. He looked around and then grumbled. Alright, he replied. He wished he could sleep in but he knew that he would have a new student arrive at half past eight. He had recently said goodbye to his last apprentice, Gwenda.
Gwenda was a human rider who was very shy. She had been with him for a year and a half before he decided that she and her dragon, Stratr, were fit to return to Alagaesia. They were good friends. He knew that she used to be interested in him, but he had told her that his heart lied with someone else. She would ask who but he would ignore her and move to a different subject.
Eragon, we must hurry if we are to make it in time, Saphira said. Do you think Arya will be there, asked Eragon. He knew he shouldn't think about her. Everytime he did a great sadness seemed came upon him. He remembered the day 7 years ago when they had departed.
We shall see, she said. In his heart he knew that she believed that they would never see them again. After an hour, he looked in the mirror and found that his appearance was suitable. The suns rays had just began to peak over the horizon. Let us be off, he said. After getting out of Shurtugal Hall, they made there way down to the silver ship. He had left instructions to the elves that came with him that Saphira and him would be back within a day. With a final glance back to Shurtugal Hall, he climbed aboard the ship and set off in the direction of Alagaesia.
Sometime later he saw the Elvin post just outside of Alagaesia. Saphira and him had gotten there early and still had an hour before the new apprentice was to arrive. As the time past, he and Saphira talked about there past adventures. This passed the time and before he new it, it had been an hour.
He continued to wait. Then, all of a sudden, Saphira roared. He immediately unsheathed Brisingr and jumped up. He saw that there was know danger and looked up at her face. She was looking toward the sky. She followed her eyes and then gasped.
A green dragon was flying towards them.
