Eragon

His thoughts wandered back to the young woman he had seen in his dream she had long black hair that shimmered in the light and her piercing green eyes the colour of new, leaves as he made his way to the crags of telnier to speak to his mother and his mentor about the strange human girl he had seen and what he and Saphira had discovered about her.

It had taken him twenty minutes of walking to finally arrive at his destination a small but comfortable hut that hugged the forest beside a clearing that lead to a cliff. In the clearing two figures sat at a small table and behind them lounged a giant gold dragon one of his mentors Gleadr. As he got closer he identified the other figures the tall and regal looking queen Islanzadi, queen of the elves, and across from her sat his other mentor the last free rider of the old order Oromis he was also known as the mourning sage and the cripple who is whole he was stooped with age and sickness but still stood tall. As he approached they turned to him "ah Eragon what brings you here" the kind old rider asked in his usual humble tone "I've found her" he responded in a barely audible whisper "who did you find" Islanzadi cut in with a sharp tone "I found her the one that the egg will hatch for" to say that they were stunned would be an understatement their faces were white with shock "how did this come to happen" Oromis asked in an urgent tone. So he launched into the story of his dream and how he had meet the girl and that she was close to Brom at this they seemed to relax.

Gleadr's voice rang through my head strong and clear "'so when do you leave to retrieve her and who will be accompanying you'" "I'll be leaving after I inform Saphira and no one will be with me I can travel faster on my own" at this the other two occupants of the table looked up in astonishment Oromis spoke first "Eragon are you sure this is wise leaving the forest with the egg could be dangerous" then Islanzadi cut in "I agree with Oromis you won't leave the forest alone" he glared at them and with a sigh responded "fine but I'll only travel with two companions" "and who will they be" "I'll be taking Samarill and Sanvi if that is ok".

After arguing with them for another twenty minutes they finally subsided to me leaving with my two companions. When I arrived back at my tree house I informed Saphira of my plans and she agreed and said that it was acceptable so long as she could come retrieve me after a week to which I agreed.

As Eragon and his companions left the forest the following morning they failed to see the crow that had been following them since they left, they also failed to notice that it was a familiar. They decided that they would set up camp well into the night as they rode and the moon rose in the sky everything seemed peaceful. As they prepared there camp the wind suddenly shifted and was blowing in the opposite direction. The smell of blood, sweat and grim as well as a smell they hadn't have assault their senses in over twenty years Urgals. Eragon shouted since Sanvi was busy gathering dead wood or the fire and she came rushing back the three friends formed a loose circle back to back to back with their weapons drawn.

Eragon stood tall with his two swords unsheathed Brisingr and Underbit both were the colour of sapphires and they gleaned in the fire light Sanvi similarly held two short swords of the steel variety while Samarill held her bow aloft when suddenly an arrow came flying out of the brush and struck her in the neck and as she fell a group of twenty or so Urgals burst forth from the forest that surrounded them. As they turned to run their path was blocked by a ring of fire "damn" Eragon cursed under his breath "how did they find us" Sanvi whispered in his ear send the egg to Brom or at least close" he nodded "just keep them back" he started muttering in the ancient language and the egg started to glow in the distance they heard someone shout in the ancient language and a bolt of red energy flew through the forest and struck Sanvi who had thrown herself in front of Eragon who had just finished his spell there where two bursts of light one from where Eragon stood another from where Sanvi had been but was now just a pile of ash. Eragon screamed in rage just before he passed out from exhaustion. The last thing he saw were two glowing red eyes surrounded by a veil of crimson hair.

It was my second night in the spine and I had yet to see any deer which was peculiar since there were always deer here but I thought nothing of it. I was making my way down the mountain when there was an explosion of white light only a hundred meters to my left. Curiosity got the best of me and I went to see what had happened. As I walked out of the tree line near the explosion the first thing I saw was a green oval like stone that was sitting in the center of the clearing surrounded by burnt grass and charred earth. I must have been staring at it for a while when I felt someone approach and I whirled. I sighed with relief it was just Brom but he was running up the trail almost as fast as I ran down them which surprised me because everyone thought of him as an old man.

When Brom got to me he sighed with relief "good you found it" I glanced at him sideways and asked "found what" he smirked and with a chuckle responded "the dragon egg of course your dragon egg" "but Eragon said he was going to bring it to me so where is he" it was apparent the he had not thought of this for he swore quite profoundly and growled out "damn king must have sent Durza after him and now he's in trouble and I have to get him out typical just great" he turned to me and said "well go on get the egg and meet me at my home we leave today" and with that he turned and left. I went and picked up the oval it felt warm to the touch and was perfectly smooth with no ridges or imperfections and it was emerald green. As I turned around and started to make my way down the mountain a thin hair line fracture occurred in the egg and with it a little squeak then more fractures and it started to wobble I was so surprised that I drooped it and is split in two and a small green dragon barely the size of my forearm stood and looked at me curiously before lunging forward and touching its head to my hand there was a blinding pain behind my eyes and in my arm and with that I passed out welcoming the blackness with open arms.
