Before I tell you about me I must tell you the story of my parents. My mom was a beautiful elf princess, who was kidnapped by Galbatorix before the elves hid themselves. He also kidnapped my father who was the bravest of the human soldiers. My mother had long gorgeous brown hair that went down to her knees and was oddly always the right kind of curly. Never flat and never fluffy, always right. My dad was more of a Blonde hair pretty blue eyes type but my mother never found him to be her type though my father fell in love with her at first sight.
Galbatorix used his mighty dragon Shuikan to bring them to his castle and then had them locked in a room together for weeks. They were given food through a little slot under the door and never saw or spoke to anyone but each other. But Galbatorix had something worse in mind for them than that. He came to them on a very stormy night and told them, "You will bear a child or die here. It`s your choice. I will set you free once the child is of age."
"Why should we believe one as evil as you?" My mother said. She was not afraid of the dragon rider who stood in front of her.
Galbatorix smiled a sadistic smile and replied, "What other choice do you have? Bear a child or die here. Which do you prefer?"
Though my mother didn`t love my father she wanted to go home. She wanted to help her kingdom against Galbatorix. So to do so my mother had to try to love my father but it was a failed effort for someone else had already won over her heart.
So my parents did as Galbatorix said. My father wanted her to love him and tried everything in his power to win her over but she wasn`t interested in him. So after being trapped in Galbatorix`s castle for nearly 5 years my mother finally ended up pregnant with me.
My name is Anastasia daughter of the last elven princess. Galbatorix has been raising me since my mother gave birth to me but I despise him. My mother`s gentle blood ran throughme so my ideals collided with Galbatorix`s. He told me when I turned 10 that he let my parents free but I don`t believe him for I know how his mind works and know that he couldn`t let them leave in fear of his castle being discovered.
It`s my 16th birthday now and as a gift Galbatorix has left the castle to go try to find the elves hiding place. I ventured around the castle not afraid to be caught. The first place I wanted to see was his thrown room. I heard a rumor around the castle that that`s where he keeps his dragon egg. I know what dragons look like thanks to Shuikan. But I wanted to see the egg.
I opened the big door hearing it as it creaked open. Cautiously I glanced around hoping that no one heard. When I saw the coast was clear I inched in and closed the door behind me. I searched everywhere but found nothing. Not until I noticed the tapestry on the wall moving like there was a breeze behind it. Moving it to the side I gasped as I caught a glimpse of the beautiful blue egg atop a podium.
