Chapter 1: Recovery
Eragon was sore after him and Ayra defeated Varaug the shade which almost killed Ayra. Ayra was sorer than Eragon because she was choked by it. She winced in pain each time she moved and breathed. Eragon saw this and ran over there and attempted to heal her.
Ayra said "We eleven women are strong not like human women I will be alright you do not need to waste your energy on me."
Eragon replied "But I'm going to now hold still"…….. "Weise Heil" Ayra instantly felt better but Eragon felt a little drop in energy.
"Thank you Eragon Sladeslayer." Ayra said with gratitude.
"Your welcome Ayra Sladeslayer" He said back.
He walked over to Saphira and slowly climbed on. Ayra was starting down the stairs "Why don't you and Eragon ride me down?" said Saphira.
Ayra about rejected and Saphira sensed it and she quickly added "Sladeslayers should not have to walk down stairs".
Ayra's usually expressionless face had vanished in a small smile. She walked over to Saphira and got behind Eragon on the saddle.
Saphira walked to the edge and jumped off and slowly glided to the ground. Saphira, Ayra and Eragon walked around for a while. Feinster seemed to be totally destroyed building were now only foundations and burnt wood. Bodies were everywhere in the streets, in the tower, what's left of the house, just everywhere. Blood ran think around the citadel and in the streets.
"Feinster will recover, the people will struggle but they'll restore they're lives once the dark king is not on that throne anymore" Said Ayra in such a voice it was almost not heard. They strolled by a group of prisoners, they were well taken care of by the Varden some townsfolk join the Varden and their cause but most did not like the conquers but nobody would try a rebellion.
They had won the siege of Feinster but though the joy of victory Eragon felt a surge of sadness for when they attacked Feinster, Gil'ead one of the military strongholds was a attacked and conjured by the elves, with a dragon and his elf dragon-rider, this was the first time they reveled themselves for hundred years and they were his teachers, friends and they died at the siege of Gil'ead by Murtagh his brother---half-brother and Eragon watched unable to do anything and then Glaedr died and went to his Eldunari to mourn for his fallen rider who died when Galbatorix took control of Murtagh and easily kilt Oromis and Glaedr, they could not do anything for Oromis could not use powerful magic because of the Forsworn and Glaedr had only half of his right forearm. Eragon felt alone again and sad. Saphira felt this threw their bond.
"Little one they would not want you to feel sad but to revenge their death by killing their killer and that egg-breaker." Said Saphira.
"Yah, I know but I just wish I was there to help" Said Eragon.
"But we were needed elsewhere and fate did not want it to be" Said Saphira.
"Yah I know." Ended Eragon.
They walked for a while until they were stopped by a messenger that said "Lady Nasuada wishes you three to be at the war tent in less than five minutes".
"Lead the way please" Eragon was saying as he and Ayra was getting off of Saphira's back. They arrived at the war tent just as it was beginning. Ayra and Eragon took their seats and Saphira stuck her giant head through the tent flaps.
"Ah you three made it…I thought you wouldn't of" Said Nasuada.
"Wouldn't miss it" Eragon replied welcoming.
"Good…anyway back to the siege and how we're are going to do it" Nasuada said
"The siege of what city?" Eragon ask questionably.
"The Siege of Belatona" Came the reply from one of the Generals.
"Ok…when?" ask Eragon.
"Undecided most likely within the next 20 moons." Nasuada said.
"Ok well we should prepare with catapults and get everyone ready" Eragon Suggested.
"Yes we should……any other suggestions?" asked Nasuada.
Nobody said anything "Dismissed".
Eragon was about to go outside when Saphira reminded him of the funeral.
"Nasuada can I and Saphira speak to you alone?" He asked.
"Yes and what about?" Nasuada asked.
" A Funeral of our teacher, and friend" He replied.
"Oh where will this be?" Asked Nasuada.
"I believe it will be held in Gil'ead." replied Eragon.
"Absolutely not!…What if Thorn and Murtagh attack?" She asked.
"They cannot for thorn is too badly hurt he had the last three foot of his tail tooken off in the battle of Gil'ead." Eragon countered. "It will take long to heal even with magic" Eragon continued.
After a long silence came the answer "Very well but you get back here in a week or less" She said.
"When do I leave?" Asked Eragon.
"Tomorrow morning" She Said.
"Ok thank you" Eragon said.
"Your welcome" Nasuada said.
Eragon walked out.
"Saphira do you want to go flying?" Eragon asked.
"Do I want to go flying?" She remarked joking "YES!" She concluded. He jumped on her back and they were off swirling higher and higher. Saphira then tucked in her wings and they plummeted 2000ft-1000-500-250-she shot out her wings and-100-50-45-60-higher and higher- they were going so fast everything was a blur. They then saw a big blue blur they slowed and saw a lake and went towards it "Hold your breath!" Saphra said as they went into the cold blue water and then erupted out of the water with a fish in her teeth then it was gone. She repeated the process a few times and let Eragon put on a spell to let him breath underwater.
They swam and swam then hidden by the darkness of the deep water a huge long fish that looked like a dragon and just about the same size of Saphira started chasing and nipping at her. She flipped around and grabbed it with her claws and shot up from the water with it. It was a golden color and teeth longer than Saphira's and two front arms but none in the back.
"What do you think it is?" Eragon Questioned.
"I don't know looks like a serpent or a water dragon" Said Saphira knowingly.
"Lets put it back" Eragon said as he pulled out a map and mark where this lake is.
"Can you talk?" Eragon asked it with his mind.
"I CAN" came a bombing voice back. It was so loud it hurt Eragon's head so he put a volume spell on himself.
"Ok, what are you and who are you?" Eragon asked.
"A serpent and my name is Heldril" Came the reply.
"My name is Eragon and she is Saphira I am human she is dragon" Eragon explained".
How long can you live without water?" Eragon asked almost without stopping.
"Not long" Heldril said.
"Then we'll put you back" Said Saphira.
"Thank you" Heldril said with gratitude.
"Hey is there anything interesting under the water?" Eragon asked.
"No, not really" Heldril said unsure.
"Can we go look without you attacking?" Eragon asked.
"I will not attack" Heldril replied.
So they put the Serpent back in the water and then went in themselves. Swimming on and on downward until they reach the bottom. They went all around the bottom but found nothing of interest and then they saw it close to the edge of the lake they saw an big yellow egg.
"Heldril" Eragon called with his mind again.
"What do you need?" Heldril asked.
"Can you come here?" Asked Eragon.
"On the way" Was the reply and about a minute later he was there.
"Yes?" He asked again.
"What is this?" Eragon asked gesturing at the egg.
"I do not know it fell with something that looked like you too but bigger I want to say about 120 years ago." Heldril replied back.
"Can we take it?" He asked Heldril.
"Sure if it is of value to you." Heldril said and with that Eragon grabbed it.
"Can you show me around more?" Saphira asked Heldril.
"I guess" Was the reply.
They swam and swam until they reached this hole in the bottom of the lake and went into it, it came to a air pocket they saw a huge forest alight with an unknown light.
"Wow" Said Eragon aloud.
"Thank you Heldril" Saphira said to the Serpent.
"Your Welcome but beware for there are things up there that can kill" He said back.
"Like what?" Eragon asked.
"I have not the slightest idea." Heldril said.
"Ok Thank you" Eragon said with gratitude.
"Up Saphira fly please" Eragon called with his mind.
They took off the cavern was easily 3 miles in every direction. Eragon looked around and saw a big cave and eyes in it giant eyes. Eragon with his mind sensed there was something big coming up. Then a ear-splitting screech he look behind and in-front and every direction could not find the source of the voice.
"Saphira lets go back to the Varden and come back with help we don't know what were up against" Eragon said.
"I think we should see" Saphira said.
"No, Saphira we cannot" Eragon reasoned.
With a puff a smoke she turned around "Your no fun" Saphira said back.
They went back to the Varden. Went to Nasuada chambers which was now on the top floor of the cititidel.
"State your name and business" Said a nighthawk although he knew the answer.
"Eragon Sladeslayer and top secret" Eragon said.
"Eragon Sladeslayer wishes an audience of top secret matters" The nighthawk called into the room.
"Send him in" came Nasuada's voice.
The door opened and he walk through "Nasuada….I have something" Said Eragon as he put the dragon egg on the desk and she gasped.
"Where did you get this?" she asked finally.
"On the bottom of a lake……along with a hole that goes into a forest underground we are asking permissions to go again…look for more eggs and other stuff if we can?" Eragon asked.
"Other stuff?" She questioned.
"We don't know" Eragon said truthfully.
"But before you say yes we heard a screech in the forest and a friend --a serpent friend said that there is dangerous creatures there and we ask that we get two people to come with--preferably spell casters" Eragon said.
"Anyone in mind?" She asked.
"Ayra and Blodhgarm" He said immediately.
"Permission granted If they wish" She said.
"Ok thank you" Eragon said gratefully.
He turned getting ready to leave "Eragon I want a full story from all for of you when you get back" She order.
"Of Course my lady" Eragon said.
Eragon went outside and looked around for a little while and saw Blodhgarm "Hey, are you free Blodhgarm-eldest?" Eragon asked doubtfully.
"Yes, why Eragon Sladeslayer?" Blodhgarm asked.
"I was wondering if you wanted to accompany me on going to a lake to the bottom through a hole and to a forest underground with creatures." Eragon said as though he was talking about a birthday party not something deadly.
"I would be honored" Blodhgarm said.
With him all the needed is Ayra. They saw her building defenses.
"Ayra Sladeslayer i was wonderig if you will accompany me and Blodagarm on a dangeous trip".
"Where and when?" Ayra asked.
"Now and a lake" Stated Eragon.
"Yes, let me get a few things" She said and ran off then they met five minutes later in the same spot.
Then they were off and underwater soon.
"Heldril?" Eragon called with his mind.
"You need of me Eragon?" Was the reply.
"Yes, Can you show me that hole again?" Eragon asked.
"I will" Heldril said.
"Thank you" Eragon replied.
"Blodhgarm, Ayra there's a serpent coming but he's friendly" He informed them.
"Ok" they said back. Heldril came and show them the hole they went through and started walking.
"Wow" Said Ayra.
"Lets go" said Eragon and there it was again a screech---everyone held there ears---.
"Something's coming" Saphira cried.
"Everyone on Saphira!" Commanded Eragon.
"Saphira up!" Eragon said.
Whoosh!.
"What do you think we should do? Ayra asked.
"Find out what made that noise" Blodhgarm replied.
"Until then?" Ayra asked.
"I do not know" Blodhgarm called back.
"Just watch" Suggested Eragon and they waited and watched for more than twenty minutes and then a screech came again.
"There!" Ayra cried.
"What is that thing?" Asked Eragon. In the clearing they saw the worm-dragon looking thing that was several times bigger than Saphira, it had seven heads, seven necks, one tail, two front legs, and a set of wings going into its body.
"Should we challenge it?" Eragon asked.
"First try and talk to it." Saphira suggested.
"Ok" Eragon asked.
Eragon stretch out his mind and found nothing expect screeching and then "What do you want in my forest?" It said .
"We just want to look around" Eragon said back.
"No, your going to die" It said.
"We don't want to fight or kill you we want peace" Eragon called back.
"No" it said and with that it leapt off and flew to Eragon and attacked them and they defended themselves. Eragon pulled out Brisingr and whipped off a head and two grew in its place.
"What is that thing!" Eragon asked Saphira opened her mouth and engulf the creature in fire.
It fled a ways then came back. Flamed it again but this time it didn't run. Saphira quickly went down dropped Ayra and Blodhgarm off and Eragon put his leg straps on and met the thing in the middle boom they hit.
It screech and Saphira kicked it in what seemed to be the stomach, it quit screeching and Eragon hit it right below the neck and five out of eight heads went off three left, Saphira grabbed one with her mouth and two with her front paws and its arms with her back legs while Eragon looped off right below the neck of the three heads "Saphira keep a hold of them" Eragon cut off a head which was easily as big as his chest and put it in Saphira's biggest bag while Saphira dropped to other too.
They flew down and picked Ayra and Blodhgarm "Did you win? Is it dead?" Questioned Ayra.
"We think" replied Eragon.
"Do you know what that thing was Blodhgarm?" Saphira asked.
"No, Saphira bright scales" Was the answer.
"Want to explore or go back to the Varden?" Eragon asked.
"Explore came the immediate answer" From all three of them.
"Ok, Saphira let us show who owns this forest" Saphira roared long and loud and it echoed there the cave nothing answered it.
"The first time we came here I saw a cave just over there it might have been my imagination but I thought I saw eyes to" Eragon said.
"Should we go see" Eragon suggested.
"Yes I think so" Blodhgarm replied. So Saphira went up and up and saw the cave and flew over there.
When they got there they stopped and landed and watched for something to happen then Eragon stretched out his mind to see if there was something there he looked everywhere got off Saphira and as he was falling he looked down and saw three shape giving off massive amounts of energy. He showed what he saw to Ayra, Blodhgarm and Saphira.
"We should go and see" Saphira said.
"Are you kidding?" Eragon rejected "Those things could easily kill us" He continued.
"Lets have a vote" Suggested Saphira.
"All in favor of going in?" Ayra and Blodhgarm rose there hands and Saphira rose her paw.
"Alright but if we die I'm not excepting the blame" Said Eragon.
"I will" Said Saphira said with humor.
They went into the dark,damp, narrow cave walked for about fifteen minutes and Eragon saw them three huge dragons. One White, one Orange, and one purple.
Eragon fell to his knees breathless.
