Chapter 2
He woke up screaming, it was the hundredth time this had happened and it still scared him, what Galbatorix would do. Frankly his parents were at a loss to know how the images he'd got were so violent when the tales they told about him were very vague and in no detail.
When he turned eight however Cellular hatched for him and that kept his mind away from the dreams for years.
Now as Ray awoke from the same dream he screamed a scream of pain and fear. He shot up and had his laser sword drawn before he realised they were in a secluded bit of forest and Cellular was still out and his snores had probably scared away any predators.
Ray looked around and scanned the place with his mind before confirming they were safe. He sat on a log and held his head in his hands. "Why us" he asked no one in particular.
He checked for damages to his body and weapons and found none, then he opened the backpack where he found, canned food, documents and another energy sword and odd bits of survival gear.
Suddenly Cellular woke up and roared out loud and in his mind "NOT THE FIELDS"! Ray jumped down and consoled him, rubbing the crying dragon on the snout and offering a little soothing comments.
Normally dragons would be ferocious and tough which by all means Cellular could be, but being treated badly by other dragons in the Training courses he developed a sense of nervousness and distrust towards everyone and everything. Whilst Ray had excelled in studies, Cellular had always been last because of bullying.
Ray sighed as Cellular stopped crying and sat up on his haunches. "They're all gone". Said Cellular. "What's gone" asked Ray. "Our home, our civilization, we are all that is left to restart the Dragon population".
Ray suddenly remembered the documents and as he sat up against Cellular he took them out and peered at them. It told of how they believed that tainted eggs, which were eggs with unhatched dragons left in them for over a hundred years were possibly born and whilst not tainting the population they were missing genes that in time would destroy the Dragon population. Cellular was pure and his lineage seemed to have dragons of pure Genetic DNA and this was why he was snapped up.
Ray and Cellular both looked at each other before Ray read on and Cellular through his mind. A few eggs left unhatched would not be a big problem but a massive scale would destabilise and destroy the population.
They read a few pages of mostly pointless text before they came to the Page of Alagesia in 600.
Weapons are primitive and will not cause damage to your N-8 armour, "so much for that then hey". Despite the glumness of Cellular he couldn't help but give a draconic smile.
They read on The Varden at your point is underground in the dwarven caverns of the mountains of Heimlay or as they were once called the Boer mountains. They have little to no power and the rest of Alagesia and neighbouring Surda id in a stability fluctuation.
Magic is strong and some ancient and primitive forms still exist, they still believe that not focusing on the word can kill you, but if you are wearing the molecular energy stabiliser armband then you are safe.
This was something new. He new bits and pieces of the magical language but only elders really knew how to read and speak it.
No info was gathered on where Saphira's egg came from, but they believe that it showed up in the Spine mountains where a farmer named Eragon picked it up and left shortly after for the Varden with an unknown man whom led him their.
After little under two months they reach the Varden and a battle ensues in where they are proclaimed victorious. Many months ensue and somehow Eragon learns magic and the Varden push on until they reach the Capitol whose name was lost and an epic battle is said to ensue.
Eragon leaves a few months after the fall of Galbatorix and the Rider's are built on a small island a seven day sail from Alagesia.
Ray was about to close the file when he read the small print Do Not Leave Exposed, Read and then Burn, Good Luck.
Ray reread the file with Cellular and the burned it with a wave of his hand.
"Looks like we better take a look above the tree line hey". "Yeah". Ray leapt onto Cellular and he spread his wings and soared up into the air, past the clouds until it was cold and ice formed on them both.
They looked down and saw that they must be in the spine, a small settlement lay tucked in the middle of it and that must have been where Eragon had a farm.
"Cellular, I'm going to jump off and investigate the town, go hunt and meat me a mile from the tree line ok". "Ok Ray but please be careful". "I'm always careful, why don't you work on some lines to impress a dragoness whilst I'm investigating".
Cellular huffed as Ray Leaped off him and soared down in a dive through the air. At the last second he slowed his decent with magic and dropped down in the spread of farms just outside of town so as to avoid suspicion.
He walked towards the direction of the town which was still in Winter until he came to a square with dilapidated houses a grim people.
He looked around until he saw a Blacksmith's and headed for it. He knocked and entered to where a middle aged man and two young men were hammering away at a horse shoe.
"Good day sir, may I ask who the leader of this settlement is"? The man looked at him, staring him up and down before saying "I'm an unofficial leader so anything you want ask me".
Ray looked up astonished that the Blacksmith was the leader before saying "Apologies, I am simply on business of the Empire and wish to enquire if you know where a certain young man named Eragon can be found"?
The men now looked at him in shock now before a man next to him said "Eragon left a month ago after his uncle was killed by strangers and his Farm burned down".
Ray was about to say thanks when the Blacksmith asked "Where are your official documents lad"? "Official documents" asked Ray. The man looked suspicious now and his hand began to twirl his hammer. "No official documents, tell me what town are you from boy"?
Ray thought it was insulting to be called boy, considering he was twenty but he actually had no answer for the man and replied in a hurried tone "I must be on my way good day".
He rushed out of the Blacksmith's where a man with brown hair tripped him up. He fell face first into the mud of the town square and the Blacksmith came out moments later and dragged him to a fountain in the middle of the square where he splashed his head in and held him under for an entire minute where he went against his training and panicked.
When he emerged coughing and spluttering with his arms held by the two young men the brown haired boy pointed at him angrily and asked "What the hell do you know about my cousin".
This must have been Stronghammer the knight who did amazing things in battle, Ray needed away out of here so he needed a distraction, he summoned water from the well behind him and held it in a ball over his head, before he took a huge breath and plunged himself and the young men into it.
The boys not expecting this were caught off guard and were gasping for air immediately. Ray dropped himself and the water and gasping men to the ground before leaping over the stunned crowed and calling out with his mind "Cellular I'm being chased to the edge of town, be there to pick me up immediately". "What did you do this time" he asked. "Never mind that I'll tell you later".
He ran down the beaten track with the townsfolk hot on his heels before a bronze blur swept him out of the sky leaving the villagers stunned".
Above the clouds and eagle was circling the town whooping in Ray's mind "I did it, I mean I saved you it's like the first time"! "Please I could have handled myself you overgrown Teapot".
Ray climbed into the saddle before sharing with Cellular what had happened, "why didn't you just tell them the truth". Oh yeah, sorry we're from the future and want to know where your cousin is to restart the dragon race".
Cellular was quiet for a moment and Ray grinned a mental grin at him "Oh yeah, how is the romantic last fertile male of his kind doing about meeting the last female"? Shut up Ray". "Come on man, being the last male and restarting the race of dragon's has got to be fun I mean, if I was in your place I would…" "Whatever Ray" said Cellular blocking his mind before Ray could fill it with Taunts.
After ten minutes they landed in a small cleared area in the Spine and Cellular asked "So what's the plan of attack for tomorrow"? "We'll head populated settlement and obtain a map for the area then head for the Boer's".
With that Ray took out a sleeping sack from the backpack and bunked down next to Cellular. "Goodnight Ray". "Goodnight Loverdragon".
