EP: Thanks for the review's guys I really appreciate it! I am really excited that I actually have people reading my story! also thanks to the review made by "He Who Travels" I have updated chapter 1 with quotations! secondly this is basically almost like a prologue it's going to be rather fast until I start getting into the actual story. and third like I said chapters will get longer as the story progresses. this is my first time writing anything outside school essays haha. I labeled this as romance because I plan taking it in a romantic direction possibly between my OC and another or perhaps between everybody's favorite Eragon and Arya. in any case onto the st…
Eragon: disclaimer…
EP: oh yes of course the disclaimer! then to the story!
disclaimer: EpicPentaKill (myself) does not own the inheritance cycle, its plot, its characters, or anything about the damned books you think if I did why would I be posting on a FanFiction site? in other words I'm not Paolini so if you want to read his works go buy his books.
mental speak is in italic's "Hello"
regular speech is normal as you should know "Hello"
Also in addition any words not in English will be translated at the end of the story.
Packing
knowing the soldiers would be back with reinforcements I decided it was best to leave. grabbing my pack I begin filling it with necessities such as food, water, and clothing. then I begin to fit things that aren't as important such as spell books, scrolls, notes, potions, and a few instruments laying around. when I am done I grab the last things I need before going out. my sword, my robes, and a few other weapons. when I pick up a small dagger my uncle gave me the first day I lived with him…
*flashback*
I'm standing on the stairway in front of my uncle's house a traveling pack hoisted on my back and a sad look on my face. I'm 9 years old…
"what is wrong nephew?"
"I miss them and I'm scared"
"scared of what may I ask?"
"I'm scared those soldiers will come back for me."
my uncle kneels down in front of me pulling something out of his cloak.
"take this dagger. as long as you have it no harm will come to you"
*end flashback*
I throw the dagger to the ground in a fit of rage.
"I've lost them all. father, mother, uncle. and all because of those damned soldiers and that damned king may he rot in hell"
until I notice something that I never noticed before. as fiery red symbols appear on the blade I immediately recognize them from the ancient language. as I read the lettering the blade grows hot and scolds my hand and I drop it. when the dagger reaches the floor it starts burning through the floorboards I stamp out the flame to notice that underneath the house is hollow. I see this through the hole in the floor, then I see something down there. it looks like a chest so I start ripping the floorboards up deciding whatever it was must have been extremely valuable otherwise uncle would have not hid it so well. I jump down and get zapped by some kind of magical force field that knocks me backwards. then I remember the inscription on the dagger. I say out loud
" neﺅnn háski"
infusing the words with magic I try walking forward and nothing happens so I pick up the dagger and continue to walk forward once I get to the end of the room I attempt to open the chest but its locked. I say another word in the ancient language
"skǪrga"
I attempt to open the chest again and it opens to reveal a book. as I flip through the pages I realize the book is filled with spells depicting things I have never seen nor heard of before. things that would require more energy than one person could possibly supply. I quickly decide to take the book with me and read through it later.
the last thing I grab before I leave is a map then I go outside to the stables saddle up my horse that uncle got me for my 13th birthday and I leave. I open my map and see that I must go north in order to reach Terim and from there I could get out into open land but for now the hard part would be getting out of the gates as I was now a wanted criminal. I snuck out while the guard was talking to another man but as soon as I'm out of the gates I hear a man yell
"Hey you get back in here"
as I look backwards the man yells
"you!"
I spur my horse forward as men on horses fly through the gate towards me yelling a stream of curses while attempting to chase me down. the chase was on…
