Chapter 2: Draco's Hill
Disclaimer: I do not own any character you recognize from the book of Eragon or the movie. The characters you do not notice are my own.
"Brom, should I land outside of the village?" Saphira asked.
"No, land in the village square."
"WHAT? She'll be seen!"
"And……"
"And…what? Saphira does not need to be seen at this time! You of all…"
"Eragon, most of these people either are or once were dragon riders! She's fine to be seen by them and actually they'd love to see her in the flesh!"
"Oh, really! Are there that many dragon riders?"
"Saphira, go ahead and land! Oh, yes, the whole village is based on dragons; that's why it's called Draco's Hill. Draco means dragon in a forgotten human language." (Latin to be exact.)
Saphira landed in the middle of the village square and every person around stopped, stared, then laughed, clapped, and cheered.
"Now, you two stay here and I'll go and find Marisana."
Brom started to walk away, "Who's Marisana, Brom?", but he kept walking.
Eragon and Saphira stayed in the village square like they were told. Many of the villagers came up to them and greeted them nicely with open arms. Then the last person to come up to them was the founder of Draco's Hill, Draco.
"Hello, Eragon, I've been expecting you!"
"You have? Who exactly are you?"
"My name is Draco. I am the founder and chief of Draco's Hill."
"So, you named the village after yourself?"
"No, the villagers did. Now, did Brom already go to find Marisana?"
"Yes, but who is Marisana?"
"Marisana is my daughter and former student."
"Why does Brom want me to meet her?"
"Because she is the most skilled, strongest, and most powerful dragon rider ever born, besides you!"
"I can't be one of the most powerful dragon riders!"
"Well, you are and so is she! Now, I must go and tend to some other situations, Brom will be back shortly," Draco said as he walked away.
"I don't get it!" said Eragon to Saphira by thought.
"Get what?"
"If I'm the most powerful dragon rider, besides Marisana, then why am I so blind?"
"You haven't discovered your full power yet, that's all."
Saphira wrapped her tail around him and laid down. Eragon sat up against her enormous, warm side and started to fall asleep when Brom yelled, "Eragon, it's not time for a nap."
Eragon stood up expecting two people standing in front of him but it was just Brom.
"Where's Marisana?"
Brom just pointed to where Saphira had laid her head. Eragon looked and was shocked to see a medium height, long, curly, brown haired girl in a bright blue, velvet, full length dress with long sleeves and a dragon belt hugging Saphira.
"Saphira, are you all right?"
"Yes, this is Marisana and she's trustworthy! Come here, I think you'll like her."
Eragon walked over to Saphira and Marisana.
"Hello, Eragon," said Marisana not looking up until she said his name.
"How do you…"
"Saphira told me."
"Ah…yes. Well, Saphira I'm glad you got to know her before you told her our names," said Eragon.
"Eragon! Don't be like that!" said Saphira.
"Did Brom tell you what was going on?"
"Regrettably, yes, so tell me…how do you know Brom?"
"He's my uncle. Why?"
"I was just wondering. So…does that mean that your dad and your uncle are both dragon riders?"
Eragon asked this question already knowing the answer. He just asked for reassurance. Eragon don't do this! The last time you got caught up with a girl you almost lost the livelihood of everyone in your kingdom!
Eragon felt a stronger feeling for Marisana than he did even for Arya.
"Of course! Would you like to meet someone?"
"Sure, who?"
"Just follow me," Marisana said as she walked towards Brom, "I'm taking him to see Cian (KEE in)!"
Marisana walked to a house and went inside, when she came out she had a sword with a white jewel inlaid in the handle.
"Let's go!" she said as she walked towards the edge of the village. She told Saphira to come to.
Eragon soon forgot every worry in his mind in that he focused on…….Marisana.
