Current day
Wake up Velkan, we are in danger.
It was midnight, in Uru'baen, and a boy of thirteen named Velkan was in great Danger.
Two years before Eragon finds Saphira
It had all started when he was twelve. He had come from a poor family, and constantly had to work to pay Gallbatorix's harsh taxes. One day, his family had gotten a job in Gallbatorix's own castle, though it was rumored to be a place of sorrow and misery, it was also the highest paying job that they had ever had.
So Velkan and his parents took the job. It was a lot of work, and they were forced to sleep in a cave, and were given meager amounts of food.
Then one day, Velkan's father was being yelled at by one of the guards. Then the guard got angry, and killed him on the spot. His mother started to scream at the guard, sobbing for her husband.
"YOU KILLED HIM! YOU KILLED HIM! HOW COULD YOU?"
"Stop yer yellin' lady, I did what I had to do."
"When the king finds-"
"The king isn't going to care, he considers you slaves to be expendable."
"Don't you dare insult my husband."
"You had better show me some respect, or you'll get the same fate as your poor husband." He delivered the word poor in a mocking tone. Velkan's mother continued to cry. "That's it, I've had enough of you." Said the guard, and he stabbed her in the stomache."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" said Velkan. "You want the same?" asked the guard, "If not then shut up." Velkan, not wanting to die, obeyed grudgingly, and finished his chores.
On his way back to the cave, he noticed Gallbatorix's sitting room was open. He quickly peeked inside. It was empty. He silently debated against himself whether or not to go in. Finally, he entered. On a table made out of what seemed to be gold, sat a Brown rock. He picked it up, and remembered how he had used to go hiking with his parents, and find rocks with them all the time. A small tear fell from his eye, and hit the rock.
Suddenly, the rock began to vibrate. It started to crack, and light shone through it. The king will surely have me killed for this. Maybe if he is mad enough, he will do it himself. I don't want to die. I am alone. Whatever Gods are up there, please, don't let me die alone.
Just then a small brown head emerged from the rock. Oh Gods, it's a dragon!

How did you like it? My first attempt at a fan fic. R&R, please! Sorry it's so short, but it was originally meant to be a prolouge.
