Sophia yawned and stretched her arms wide, getting out of bed she yanked on a sapphire blue silk over gown and looked out her window. The ground was covered in a thin layer of snow and more was lightly falling from the sky covering everything else on the Kelly's farm, pulling on some thin embroidered slippers, Sophia padded down the stairs and towards the kitchen. No sound was coming from her parent's room when she passed it so she assumed that neither her mother nor father had managed to make it out of bed yet. Reaching the kitchen fridge, she pulled out and apple and some milk. Pausing to look at the clock she quickly ate her apple and drunk the milk straight out of the carton. Running back up the stairs she had a short shower and pulled on the clothes that were sitting ready on a chair next to her bedroom door, black jeans, a pair of white volleys and a white sweater over a white and green INSECTION top.
Sophia scribbled a note to her parents and left it on the kitchen bench. Making her way down the winding garden path and into the small shed at the end of the trail, she pulled on a warm woolen jumper and wheeled her bike out into the light snow to the gate.
Setting off at a fast pace she pedaled towards her best friend's house and arrived within a couple of minutes to see Katlin sitting on her door step wearing blue jeans, a red polka dotted long sleeved top, she was also wearing a pair of volleys but hers were red, next to her own bike wrapped in a puffy woolen jumper.
"You ready?" Said Katlin grinning and standing up
"Yeah! I can wait to see this movie!"
"Koolies, lets go!"
Both girls grabbed their bikes and began to pedal towards town through the white countryside, everything was bright and glimmering. The snow duplicated the brittle light that shone from the winter sun. As the came closer to the town they began to see more and more little houses, puffing out grey smoke and looking very welcoming to the two stiff and cold girls.
When they finally reached the town's theatre it was a very welcoming sight. Sophia and Katlin bustled into the warm room and shrugged off their woolen jumpers and lined up to get a ticket. Quite soon they were in one of the movie theatres and taking small sips of there coke and nibbling at their popcorn, waiting for the movie to start, suddenly the room went dark and epic music started to play and the word ERAGON flashed onto the screen
"Oh, wo-"
"SHHHHH!"
Then a picture of a boy, about 16 with blonde hair, wearing leather pants and a tan hessian shirt was shown in a forest, holding a plain wooden bow.
But then everything in the room started to slow down, the man sitting beside her was eating his popcorn, but he was moving painfully slow, even Katlin's blinking was sluggish and unhurried
CRACK
A large spilt appeared on the screen and poured out dazzling white light, the room seemed to have frozen. Sophia desperately waved her hand in front of Katlin's face but to her horror, Katlin didn't move, she didn't even blink.
Sophia pushed herself out of her chair and walked towards the large slit, as she got closer the light began to fade and brighten, producing a rich throbbing drum beat. Her hand finally managed to touch the slit and she felt herself becoming weightless, she closed her eyes and tried desperately to block her ears as the light and the drum beat reached a almost unbearable crescendo…………
…………Sophia felt a weight on her stomach as she finally came to her senses. She lay where she was for some time as she tried to figure out what had happened to her and sat up suddenly as she remembered the movie theatre and the bright light, quickly checking over her body for bruises she fell forward onto her hands and knees as her head spun painfully. She reached up and touched her forehead, she felt congealing blood. Sophia tried to get up using the large object that had been lying on her stomach a minute before, but as fall after fall followed she gave up and rested for a while. Summoning up her last bit of strength she heaved herself off the ground, this time without falling, she noticed that her clothes had changed, she was now wearing a ripped tan skirt that only came to mid thigh and a thin white shift of a top embroidered with red and black silk thread, completed with a tight tie up leather vest and a pair of lace up leather boots, she studied the object now at her feet, it looked like a massive egg. Its colour was a deep green with gold specks moving slowly over its shiny surface.
Feeling a strange maternal attachment to the green and gold object, Sophia picked it up and began to hobble out of the clearing that she had found herself in. Before she reached the line of pine trees a boy's voice called out across the empty space
"That's a dragon egg, you know"
Sophia turned and found herself face to face with a boy of about 16; he had blonde hair and was holding a beautifully carved bow of dark wood and a quiver of arrows fletched with white feathers. His features seemed not entirely human, more delicate. His ears were tapered at the top, his eyes were slanted and his skin practically glowed.
"Is it yours?"
"Um, no…… I don't know. It was just there when I woke up"
"Why did you pick it up?"
"I kind of felt bonded to it"
"Ahhhh, then you had better come with me, come"
"Um, ok, would you mind telling me where we are?"
The boy looked at her, puzzled as they walked
"We are near Du Weldenvarden"
"Oh right"
They continued to walk for a couple of seconds then Sophia stopped abruptly
"So your name is Eragon, isn't it?"
"Yes…….." Eragon stopped and whirled around to face Sophia ", How did you know?"
"Don't worry, its hard to explain"
"Ok then"
The rest of the journey back to wherever they were going was quite and shorter than Sophia had thought it would be, when the two reached their destination something strange happened, Sophia heard a voice inside her head
Who are you? You have a strange aura around you
Sophia was shocked and looked at Eragon for a moment before replying
My name is Sophia, who are you?
Im Saphira Bjartskular, the last dragon
Pardon?
My name is Saphira; I believe that you are with my rider, Eragon?
Yes, where are you, I can't see you
Why I'm just here
A stick snapped behind Sophia which distracted her from the mental link between her and
Saphira. She slowly turned and let out a yelp of surprise as a great blue eye surveyed her with great interest, somewhere in the back round she heard Eragon laugh. The great blue eye blinked once………twice and then moved sky wards as Saphira lifted her magnificent head and let out a deafening roar.
Eragon smiled as Saphira let out a might roar
Little one, I think it may be her. You say she was lying with the green egg?
Yes, rather lucky aren't we, now we won't have to go through this alone
Yes, but when are we going to tell Oromis of her existence, and the Varden, they will have to know soon as well
Yes, we will get to that; I just want to talk to her first, see how much she knows
Alright, Little One, you now bear a responsibility, the responsibility is this girl, Sophia
Then I bear her proudly
An hour later Sophia was sitting warm and cozy in front of a little fire outside the small hut warming her hands. Eragon had gone hunting about half an hour before and now Sophia was alone with her egg, which she was hugging to keep it warm, she began to think about what was happening. She was sucked into a move screen, she had met the Eragon, and she had talked to his dragon, Saphira, she had then realised that the beautiful thing that she was holding to now was a dragon egg, her dragon egg, but none of this seemed to faze her at all, she didn't even know why she wasn't a sobbing heap on the ground right now.
A small crack and a sharp prod to her stomach broke Sophia's string of thoughts. She shouted and jumped up as a small green and gold creature bit deep into her arm as it tried desperately to free itself from is tough prison. With a great kick the small animal sent the rest of its shell flying over towards the hut where it shattered into several big pieces.
For the first time Sophia got a good look at her dragon, it had a rich, deep green colouring with shimmery patches of gold that wandered over its body in waves. It body was proportioned well with big strong wings about the span of Sophia's arms spread wide, a long delicate looking tail tipped with razor like spikes. Its legs were strong and middle sized with vicious looking claws, it held its head proudly and bared the most amazing eyes of emerald green and shinning gold specks. The baby dragon snorted once, slinked over to Sophia, curled up next to her, and fell to sleep. As soon as the little dragon touched her she felt a burning sensation spread through her palm, Ignoring it she also, gratefully, fell asleep
Eragon crept quietly over to the fire where he found Sophia, curled up around something, asleep. He then tipped toed to the hut to find a blanket for her, where they were situated it got awfully cold at night. Only finding one thin blanket, Eragon laid it over Sophia and called to Saphira. Sitting cross-legged on a stump he though about his day, he had met, what he believed to be another dragon rider, and it had been a girl, about the same age as him. She had very dark brown, almost black, hair and sparkling green eyes. Sophia was only about a head shorter than Eragon and was nicely built with clearly defined muscles, though they didn't bulge. She mumbled in her sleep and turned over revealing a small, green, horned head. Eragon curiously stared for a moment then, realizing that what he was seeing was the head of another dragon, a baby obviously, he jumped up swiftly and quietly made his way over the Sophia and her baby dragon. Gently, he pulled Sophia's hand from under the blankets and stretched it out, studying her palm. He found what he was looking for, a gedwëy ignasia. Closing his hand around hers he lent back onto a large log, closed his eyes and entered the trance like mode that he now called sleep.
