Roars filled the sky as thousands of Dragons flew in the sky, their scales shining like the most beautiful and precious gems. But one amongst them a wonder in sight and awe inspiring in beauty.
Sapphire scales adorned her and her name was Saphira, bonded to the legendary Eragon Shadeslayer.
It has been 150 years since Eragon left Alaegasia for a new home of Dragons and rebuilding the Order of Dragon Riders. Now as he looked upon the city below made up of marble and rocks, true joy raced through him.
We have done it Saphira, we have rebuilt what was lost.
But we have not done it alone Eragon, the elves have helped us and the eldunarya have taught us many new things.
True enough my love. Said Eragon.
Then a vast and ancient mind made its presence known in his mind, which he recognized at was his predecessor's dragon 'Umaroth'.
Atra esterní ono thelduin, Eragon Shur'tugal, Saphira Bjartskular.
Atra du evarínya ono varda, Umaroth ebrithil.
Atra guliä UN ilian tauthr ono un atra ono waíse sköliro fra rauthr.
You have achieved a lot in the past 150 years Eragon, even vrael and Anurin would be proud of you.
Thank you ebrithil.
It was true that Eragon had done a lot in the past century.
When they had reached the island, it had been after 1 year of continuous sailing. On arriving ashore they had seen a vast expanse of land as big as Du wuldewarden and full of big trees and game, mountains and the biggest attraction was a crater in the center of the Island. It had many rock pieces which later turned out to be brighsteel.
Eragon remembered the procedure of making brighsteel articles and he took guidance from Rhunon-elda, thus able to craft brighsteel armors, greavers and short Knives for different purposes.
He had worked with the elves for almost a year and the result was named by Eragon as Du Grind abr Skullblaka, the gate of dragons.
He and Saphira had helped the wild Dragons hatch and Saphira had cared for them till 6 months and Eldunarya had nurtured their young minds and told them not to go much beyond the island and live in peace with the inhabitants.
After some time the first batch of riders had arrived and they quite scared to be away from Alaegasia. But still he had taught them with the help of the elves and the eldunari.
They were one Human and one elf. And soon after the number of riders increased greatly as did the dragons. And today after 150 years he was going to see Murtagh, his brother.
Soon he was able to spot Murtagh on Thorn's back. He yelled and waved at him but there was no response from his side. Murtagh was just lying limply on Thorn's side. Eragon asked Saphira what is wrong with him.
How would I know little one, you ask him mentally.
Eragon did so and alarmed when Thorn stopped him and said Eragon help us Murtagh is about to die!
What happened?
A huge Nidhwal attacked us and I was injured, Murtagh blasted it and healed my injuries but he was already weak this caused him to lose much of his energy.
Hurry up Thorn, bring him to me and please let me access his mind so that I can give him energy.
Aye Eragon.
Eragon felt the mental barriers around Muztagh's mind go down and then he poured a lot of energy in Murtagh, enough for Murtagh to wake.
Murtagh! Thorn roared happily as Murtagh started to rouse.
Thorn, we were under attack. You were injured, The Nidhwalar! Said Murtagh fully awakening.
Why do I don't feel tired?
Because your brother poured some energy in you as you were about to…
Don't say it Thorn, I won't have left you.
Now Murtagh looked at his surroundings and what he saw left him front of him was Saphira and she had grown to a tremendous size. She was a good 20-30 feet larger than Thorn.
And then he spotted Eragon, his brother smiling at him. Tears came to his eyes and he beheld his half-brother after so long.
No he is not my half-brother. He is my brother and my family!
Eragon said to himself.
Murtagh was just shocked to see Eragon after such a time and was totally numbed when he saw how much Saphira had grown. Murtagh look at the sky! Thorn said excitedly.
Murtagh looked up and what he saw almost made him pass out. Close to 300 dragons were looking upon him and Thorn with curiosity and interest.
Oh my! Thorn, we just chanced upon Eragon and Saphira and a new dragon land with 300 dragons.
Hello Murtagh, how are you? Eragon asked him mentally waving at him.
It took 2 full seconds for Murtagh to think and then he answered-I am fine and it seems you have been a rather busy for past century!
Yes, so it has been. But how did you come here? The elves couldn't find never find Alalea ever but you found it successfully. Eragon asked impressed with his brother
Murtagh was now completely dumbed.1 part of his brain was saying to laugh at Eragon while the other was saying it is completely insane. He finally asked-What are you saying? This is Alalea! But I thought it was a land that was only to be found in tales.
Eragon had expected this and he laughing hard at his brother's expression. No I, we found it after 1 year of continuous sailing.
Murtagh noticed Eragon's hair had turned Silver unlike the brown hair he had when at War. What happened to your hair?
I.., it is topic for another time. Eragon said.
Ok brother. As you wish.
Hello Thorn, I see you have grown very much. Said Eragon in Thorn's mind.
Thorn was amazed to see how vast Eragon's mind was, even when Saphira was not counted.
Hello Eragon, you have grown much from the warrior I fought and Murtagh knew from those wretched times.
Thanks Thorn.
Since the pleasantries were over Murtagh now casted a look upon the city and within 3 seconds his mouth was hanging open.
Alalea had been changed into a city beautiful than Illirea had ever had the building styles of both Dwarven and Human architectural style with Elven touch.
It is beautiful. Whispered Murtagh in Thorn's mind.
That it is. Replied Thorn
Well, shall we proceed to the main hall? Eragon asked in their minds.
Yes brother lead the way.
And with that the procession of two reunited age old companions and brother started towards the main hall. Happiness reigned Eragon's world but till when?
