Full Summary - It's been 20 years since Galbatorix was killed and Eragon and Arya have left for Vroengard with a ship filled with Elves and Humans to aid in their cause. When a young rider stumbles upon an ancient artifact, Eragon learns what vengeance truly means. In this sequel to my version the fourth book of the Inheritance Cycle, Vroengard and Alagaesia are thrust into a war on two fronts. Can they fight to protect their new world? Or will all fall into darkness?

(A.N.) Well, I'm back from my vacation! I've already begun to write out this story and chapter one is almost complete! Hurray! RaphaelofTheDarkness and I have decided to first put out a list of characters that will be in this fic. Remember that we are collaborating on this story. The characters of whom you are all already familiar with will, of course, not be added in this first post. So please just take a minute to read through this semi-descriptive list of characters to become a little familiarized before we begin.

The next chapter will be a short prologue before chapter 1 is finally put out.

Thanks again to everyone who has stuck through my last fic, hope this one is even better ;)

- Sorry everyone! Forgot another important character!


A List of Major OC's that are to appear…

Selena Aryasdaughter – Wild and fierce spirited, Selena is the first born to Eragon Kingkiller and Arya Dragonslayer and the rider of the male dragon Eridor. In appearance, Selena resembles her mother in almost every aspect, though she acts more like her father. She is the first of the new riders to receive her rider's blade.

Evander Eragonsson – The second born, Evander is the rider to the female dragon Lenora. At times he can be impatient and many times he overestimates his abilities. He has a strange affection towards the female Elvin rider, Laidir.

Zack – Little is known about this young male human. He was born in the city of Belatona around the time Galbatorix fell to a mother and father he can no longer remember. He was forced into a home for young boy's that was being funded by the Varden. He is the rider of the male dragon Fundor.

Zinnia – A kind hearted Elf, Zinnia constantly tries to outdo herself. Her love for Ellesmera overpowers her desire to wield a sword, thus her mild lack of self-confidence and her enjoyment in seeing others fail in areas that she cannot excel at. Her young age (eighty-seven) makes her act somewhat childish at times. She enjoys singing, though not in the presence of others. However she sings in front of Gwyeneth when the female dragon hatches for her. She is the fourth dragon rider to be trained in the new order.

LaidirPassionate would be one way of describing this young elf. After Jura hatched for her, she wished nothing more than to make her family and race proud of her. She climbed the ranks of the students, but was always one step behind Selena. Born in House Turin, she had lived a comfortable childhood in Osilon. When she heard that the egg currier was returning to Ellesmera, Laidir prepared a horse and left for the capitol that very day.


(A.N.) So that's basically all the new characters you really need to know for now. Others will appear throughout this fic, though they will not be very much reoccurring or major characters. Next chapter should be up in a few days as the prologue, followed later by the first chapter.

- Demonzmagic

(A.N.) Hey everyone this is RaphaelofTheDarkness, helping Demonzmagic with The Empire IV was lots of fun, glad I was able to help him by betaing for him, and I never would have thought he would want me to collaborate with him on the sequel, if anyone finds errors in the story feel free to PM me with the information regarding the error, along with the chapter it is in.
