Powerful gifts

By: Novice writer

Eragon has finished his training with Oromis, when Oromis gives a powerful gift. Eragon sets out on a quest to find what the powerful gift is and what it does.

Sorry for my story. I am trying to get better at writing with creativity, so I thought that this site would be a good place to start. I loved the Eragon books, and believe that I should try and to stick to the characters as close as possible. I think I will just make this a 1 chapter kind of thing, but if people like it, I might put more chapters onto it. Hope that you like my first story, and please, at least tell my what you think by reviewing, because this is my first story.

This story takes place 4 months after the battle at the burning plains.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eragon and Saphira could only be found today by stream surrounded by aspen trees. Saphira just pushed Eragon off the bank and into the crystal clear spring water.

"Come on Eragon, we will be late to your ceremony."

"Well, we wouldn't have to worry about it, if you hadn't have pushed me in. Now I have to change clothes."

"Well, while arguing with me you could've gotten onto my back by now."

"Well, whatever happens, they certainly can't move me up past apprenticeship without me being there."

"I guess I can't argue with you on that point, come, get on my back, and we will be off towards Ellesmera."

And so Saphira and Eragon flew off towards the elven city. They landed in the tree house and Eragon went out towards the shower and started to wash off the grime that had made its way into his every crevice. He put on knew clothes, and then got back on Saphira's back to go to his celebration for completing his training. Which he was not as sure as Oromis, that he could do.

At the Menoa Tree

Saphira and Eragon landed next to the crowd of elves surrounding the small stage, and were immediately surrounded by hundreds of cheering proud people. All of them were loud and joyous until Gleadr let out a loud roar, and Oromis appeared in front of them on the stage.

Oromis motioned for Eragon to step onto the stage, and Glaedr did the same for Saphira. Oromis lifted his hands, and said a spell leaving him panting. Eragon felt something burning on his back, but it did not hurt severely. All the sudden the burning stopped and Oromis handed him a mirror and Eragon inspected his back to find a tattoo that was the same as Arya's, and the symbol on Brom's ring.

"Use it only when you need it Argetlam," said Oromis

Eragon thanked Oromis and Saphira Glaedr, and then the feast took place. The elves brought out endless platters of fruit and bread, and feasted throughout the night.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When it was over Eragon got back on Saphira and went back to the tree house, when he was there Eragon inspected where Oromis and Gleadr had put the tattoo on his back. It was more of a burn almost, and it's texture was a lot like the gedwey insagnia. Eragon was curious to this and asked Saphira what she thought.

"Saphira," asked Eragon.

"Yes little one" answered Saphira in an annoyed tone

"Do you think that Oromis meant it to have... powers?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because the tattoo has a glow like the gedwey insagnia, and Oromis said to only use it when I need it."

"Mmmm," hummed Saphira in thought "I don't know little one. Why do you ask."

"Just curious, no real problem."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eragon approached Oromis the next day, and Oromis seemed surprised to see him.

"Master I must know about this gift that you and Glaedr have bestowed upon me, You told me only to use it when it is needed, but I can't do that if I don't know how to use it is the first place," Eragon asked in a demanding voice.

"First things first Eragon, I don't wish to be called Master by you, because truly you are not my pupil any longer, and secondly I will not be the one to tell you the secret and neither will Glaedr."

"But...Oromis, how am I to find this mystery out on my own? I am not all powerful, I can't see all!" said Eragon on the verge of shouting, " I cannot do such an impossible task on my own!"

"You are not alone!" said Oromis in a shocked tone, "You have Saphira, and after training with me for nearly a year I am surprised you would forget that! Saphira is not mere pack animal, she can help you in any way needed, and you know that!"

"Yes Oromis, I know. I just don't understand why you would give me a gift and not tell me about it." said Eragon in a respectful tone.

"Well, Eragon you were one of my most acute pupils, and I am confident that you will figure it out." replied Oromis.

"Thank you Oromis, I trust you." said Eragon bowing his head.

At that moment Glaedr was seen by both riders flying toward the hut, and at this Eragon left.

Ok, well that's my first story. I will write more if you like it. Please review and tell me. Even if it just says "Hey that sucked," or "That was great." I want to get better at writing and at the same time have a blast hearing what people think. This is my new "Reviewed by me" version, and I think that it uis a lot better than my original.
