Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Eragon/Eldest. I do own my personal characters and ideas.
The sun was high in the sky as Avian walked through the burning air of the hadarac desert. "Why did I choose to go through the desert" stated Avian irritably. "It's getting to hard to stay out here."
Avian was a strong, blond haired fourteen year old teen with an emerald bracelet on his right wrist and a silver sword necklace.
He had been walking through the desert for almost two months now and he was running dangerously low on food.
"I wish this desert would just end, it's like this place is trying to kill me."
Avian finally found shade beneath an oddly shaped rock that looked old enough to be his grandfather's grandfather.
Suddenly, he noticed something on the underside of the rock. When he went to see what it was a giant scorpion crawled out prepared to attack. Avian recoiled and quickly reached for his dagger.
The scorpion quickly began to move toward Avian with hunger in its cold black eyes. The scorpions tail came down at a tremendous speed but avian manage to get the dagger up and blocked the scorpion's tail from impaling him.
A minute passed but the scorpion did not seem to want to let up its furious attacks. Avian managed to dodge all of the scorpion's blows out of pure luck.
Finally the scorpion stopped and looked at Avian with fear in its dark eyes. But as Avian stared into the eyes of the scorpion he saw that it wasn't looking at him it was looking behind him.
When Avian turned around his eyes grew wide as he stared into the face of a Desert Griffin.
"I thought Griffins were extinct" he said as he began to run. After a few minutes of running he took a peak back and saw the Griffin was no were to be seen but by that time he felt like he had been running for hours.
But then he heard wing flapping and looked up and saw the Griffin swooping down after him. Before he could react the griffin already had him in its claws.
After an hour of claws buried into his skin, flying didn't feel so bad. Then to his horror he saw Uru'baen. "This Griffin is taking me to Uru'bean, but why I haven't done any thing upset the king."
Then the Griffin went into a sharp dive heading toward cave near Uru'baen. "On one hand, thank god this thing isn't taking me to Uru'baen. But on the other I'm going to end up Griffin food"
When the griffin finally stopped it sharp drop it threw Avian into the cave and landed.
"Is everything trying to eat me today" Avian thought as the griffin began to move closer. Then an immense burst of light blasted through the caves entrance and struck the Griffin in the side.
Then the griffin's body lay limp on the cave floor. Avian quickly took this chance and found the darkest corner and hid just before a tall black haired man came in with a blade as red as blood.
Avian quickly reached for his dagger just encase he was seen and attacked. He then stared in amazement as an enormous dragon followed the man into the cave.
"This guy is a rider" Avian thought to himself in amazement.
Then a thought occurred to him "how cane there be a dragon that huge without anyone knowing" he thought while recalling all of the stories he had heard about Eragon and his Dragon Saphira.
When the man began to rise from inspecting the griffin's body Avian gripped his dagger tighter but the man merely strode out of the dragon close behind him.
After a minute he decided it was safe and left the cave. Then an hour later he saw the gates of Uru'baen. But as he past he noticed a girl being force into the gates.
He decided to make camp in the trees that night and began setting up. He managed to fall asleep thinking of the days events.
Avian quickly rose with a start as he heard the gates of Uru'baen opening. He noticed through his sleepy eyes a group of men carrying a box as if it were royalty. He couldn't believe his eyes when he noticed that the box looked liked it had taken a beating or two the thrown into a fire.
Avian quickly got into his old thievish mood and thought "If I can get my hands onto whatever is in that box I could sell it at the next town for money and hopefully use that to restock on food"
"But how in the world am I going to get past twenty men" he thought
Then he noticed that a guard about his size was sent ahead to scout Avian quickly began to follow the scout.
After about a mile of walking the scout stopped to survey his surroundings. Avian took this opportunity and attacked, the guard was unconscious on the ground before he even noticed Avian.
Avian then dragged the scout into the woods. Luckily for him the armor fit and he began his long walk back to his troop.
When he finally reached the troop Avian told them it was clear ahead and no one notice he wasn't who they thought he was.
Later after walking for a while in his troop, Avian over heard some guards talking about standing guard on the chest that night "This would be the perfect opportunity for me get whatever is in that chest." Avian thought to himself as he ran over and volunteered for the job.
When the sun began to go down, everyone in the camp started to set up for that night. Avian quickly dodged sleeping bags and tent to get to his post for the night.
After about three hours of watching Avian looked around and made sure everyone was asleep, then he opened the chest.
Avian stared in amazement as he looked into the chest at a big beautiful emerald colored stone. He quickly grabbed the stone and fled into the wood towards the town of Bullridge.
