Well welcome to my new story. For those of you who are reading this and don't know what's going on I suggest you read my first story: Rise of the Riders


Eragon stepped outside. The night was coming fast and soon there would be a lot of people gathering outside at the table. He sighed to himself; there was still an hour to go before the actual dinner so Eragon walked over to the dragon house where Saphira was. He walked up the steps, noticing the new dragons that were sleeping or just getting used to their rooms, he passed by without saying anything so as to not surprise them or intimidate them before the dinner. He kept climbing until he arrived at Saphira's room, it was opposite Thorn's and he nodded a greeting to the red dragon which was kind returned before walking in to Saphira's room. She wasn't sleeping but she wasn't active, she was just lying down, getting some rest. He sat down by her and rested his head against her wings. Quickly he nodded off and without realising it; almost an hour had passed since he climbed up the tower, almost but not quite. Eragon awoke groggily, he looked outside and saw that the night had almost come, he awoke Saphira who herself had nodded off. Irritated, she awoke slowly.

"Hurry up Saphira, or else we'd be late, and we don't want to be lat to a party that we are throwing" Eragon told her, trying to get her to hurry up, he wiped his hair away from his face, straightened out his shirt and climbed on Saphira's back. Slowly she got up and flew down to the marquee. Waiting there were Kuldr, Murtagh and Kaira and Aninya. He noticed that Kaira and Aninya were wearing dresses that were almost identical except for the colour of the dress, Kaira was dressed in green and Aninya was dressed in blue. Murtagh was wearing a deep red shirt that matched the darker red of Thorn's eyes and Kuldr was dressed in a rich dark blue colour.

Saphia was still getting dressed having been with the man they had found a few weeks ago, his condition hadn't changed from that slight movement and he needed constant monitoring, even with the newer elves helping there was always someone by him during the day and he was checked every three hours during the night, Saphia was to be the head of the infirmary so she needed to check results every now and again. Shortly after Eragon had arrived she walked out of the door of the hall and came over towards them. The second Eragon spotted her he couldn't help but stare! 'Well there's definitely a reason she's one of the most beautiful elves in Ellesméra' He thought to himself

"She isn't that pretty" Saphira commented

"Are you jealous Saphira?" Eragon asked, smirking slightly

"W...What!? No it's just that she doesn't look that pretty to me" She muttered back to him

Eragon returned his gaze towards Saphia, only to see that she had arrived at the marquee, only now could he appreciate her attire. She was dressed in a stunning white dress that stood out from anything that anyone else was wearing. He noticed Kaira walk up to her and say something in audible that really made Saphia blush, far too slowly for his normal self he walked over with a slight stagger in his step. He'd never seen her at her full beauty and he doubted she even realised how different she looked. He walked up and mumbled something about being nice before hurrying away quickly.

"Smooth" Saphira told him

"Shut up! I could talk to the new students, give a speech but I can't do this... why?" He thought to himself

"That's an easy answer" Saphira told him "It's because of your status, since you're a hero there isn't a girl in Alagaesia who wouldn't want to court you, you've never needed to work for a girls attention other than Arya and you were friends for so long before you actually developed true feelings for each other that there was no need for you to try, that's the full reason why you are struggling... that and the fact that she's insanely pretty (yes I just said that)"

"Well, I don't really have much of a chance anyway though, look at her eyes, no matter how shy she's looking at Kuldr-Elda, albeit she glances at him but she's been doing it for a while now, glancing towards him, that tells me that she's got a crush on him" Eragon replied "Anyway, our newest arrivals are here" Eragon added, noticing a stream of people from the halls, the remaining elves arrived, carrying food and drink. Shortly after the ten students came as well, timidly they all took their seats at tables of five and one table of seven. A total of fifty people, only ten of which were student gathered around ten tables. At the front of all the tables were sat Eragon, Saphia, Murtagh, Aninya, Kaira, Blodhgarm and Kuldr. Eragon rose and addressed the group, after a short speech he ended with: "Let the feast begin, feel free to talk and walk around the place but please don't leave the immediate area around the hall, feel free to head back inside if you so wish".

Shortly after sitting back down, he had some small bites of food before heading up to meet the students who were chatting amongst themselves. He noticed Murtagh and Kaira sat at a table by themselves talking, Aninya, Saphia, Blodhgarm and Kuldr were laughing at another, he could see Vanir talking to some friends before he got up and walked over to the group of students, before he got to them he had to pause and turn as Saphira roared a loud warning "THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE SKY! It's... It's a... a dragon!"
