Author's Note: Before you guys say, update your other stories before this one, I have started three new chapters for three of my older stories.
Jaded, chapter II
Broken
Saphira was in an unconscious state in the elven forests on the opposite side of Alagaesia than Eragon. However, in her mind, she could feel a presence engulfing her. Surrounding her mind was a dark presence that was seemingly trying to force through her mental barrier. W-what's happening?
Silence, dragon. This is your punishment for harming me and not returning to settle our agreement. Saphira recognized the voice instantly as the Menoa trees'.
Where is Eragon? You said you weren't going to hurt us. I am the last female dragon in this land. You wouldn't dare hurt him in fear of killing me.
Eragon is of no concern to you. That little bond of yours with him is pathetic. Soon, it will be broken and the only thing you'll need to be concerned with is giving me your energy. You see, when you attacked me, you harmed my life processes and I cannot heal the forests anymore. Originally, I was simply going to provide you and your rider with the information to cure me and to assist in healing the trees of Alagaesia. Now, I'll just use you instead of healing myself. Dragons carry an unlimited amount of magic. You just need to know how to exploit it. To make a long story short, I'm forging a new bond with you so I can use your energy.
Before Saphira could retort, she felt pain shoot through her mental state and she drifted off into the farthest reaches of her conscious.
Eragon POV:
Morning had arrived where Eragon was but he had spent the night traveling. He didn't know where Saphira had been taken but he knew who could tell him. Ellesmera was a long journey, but nothing would hold him back from getting Saphira back from the Menoa tree.
As he walked, worry began to flood through his thoughts. Being so far away, he couldn't sense, let alone talk to his dragon. How am I supposed to fight a being tha-
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of him, causing him to shield his eyes with his hands. Stumbling back, Eragon reached for Brisingr but found his arm unable to move.
You'll have no need for that. Listen to me, human. This concerns both yours and the dragoness Saphira's life.
Who-who are you?
I am one of the ancient dragon spirits. I was chosen to deliver these to you. One will help you with saving your dragon's life. The other will save our race. Use them wisely.
Eragon saw two shiny objects emerge from the bright light before it vanished abruptly leaving him alone on the grassy plain. In front of him lay one emerald green stone, and another jet black stone.
Author's Note: I have a part two to this chapter but I thought I'd leave you with that for now.
And I'll give you something to laugh at too. *I expect very little laughter however.*
(Drake is my name by the way, its short for Draco.)

Saphira: "So what has taken you so long to update? It seems like you always delay updating a story for ages."
Drake: "I know, but I've been very busy with my school work."
Saphira: "No you haven't! You've been distracted by that Wii and PS3 sitting in your room!"
Drake: "Er…..well, I have had a lot of work…but I guess I could put away Madden for a few days to update…."
Saphira: "Very well, I'll see you later, I'm going hunting."
*Saphira flies off*
Drake: *snickers* "She's so gullible."
