Aragorn, Eomer, Faramir, Legolas, and Gimli were in the barn sleeping when a noise outside woke them up. They heard it knock three times, stop, and then again. They got out of their hiding places to meet with Eragon. The boy came out and said "I've brought you some breakfast." There was some porridge and some thin milk but, that's all. They were use to not eating much because of the War of the Rings. They were just glad they were inside shelter since it was gonna snow soon. Eragon said "I'm going to go to town today with my uncle Garrow and my cousin Roran. "I'm sure you could find a trader that could lend you a better detailed map to look at if you need one." Legolas nodded and went out to look into the stars. Gimli asked "Are you going to take that blue stone into town? I'm sure some one will want it since it looks very valuable. I have never seen anything like it and even without my instruments to measure things in question of their value that stone is worth quite a lot. But, that thing that troubles me is that it's hollow. I have never seen a stone like that." Aragorn nodded "Neither have I Gimli…and the thing that troubles me is that is appeared out of nowhere as if someone sent it there to you. Some wizardry is around the stone that I can gather but, we shall focus on it later. Now Eragon should we go into the woods and meet you in town? Or just go in town and come back after dark?" The boy thought for a moment "You can meet me in town but, pretend you are traders. Gimli you can come just pretend that you're an old man all right?" Gimli snorted "To think I would have to play as an old man wizened and bent. If my Dwarven brethren were to see this…" he shook his head Eragon walked outside and found Legolas looking around in the sky. He looked from North, to South, East, and West, he looked downcast. "Legolas is something wrong?" the boy asked his Elven friend. Legolas said mournfully "The star of Earendil does not shine on this land…" Eragon looked around and said "They all look the same to me Legolas." Legolas chuckled a bit. "Ahh yes they look the same to the Atani." Eragon looked confused for he still did not know Legolas's language. Legolas responded "Is it what we Elves call you in my language. For you were awakened after us so Atani means 'After-comers' since you awakened after the Elves. You were born at the rising of the sun. We were born to the stars. So every star to us is unique." He went back into the barn. Eragon just couldn't believe what Legolas was saying half the time…for it never tied in with the stuff he knew about the gods. And yet…something about these majestic beings called "Valar" sounded…true.
*Later that day*
Eragon went with his uncle Garrow and his cousin Roran. Eomer, Faramir, Gimli, and Aragorn where looking at these things that not even they had ever seen. Legolas was wandering around since he was bored of this. He eventually ran into the old man that was staring at him the other day. He asked in a weird voice "Do you have it?" Legolas said in a calm voice "I do not know what you speak of sir." Brom looked into Legolas's blue eyes for a moment but couldn't look at his piercing gaze for very long. He eventually muttered something inaudible and walked away. Legolas looked around but, didn't find anything. He found Eragon looking at a wagon but, spotted Legolas. "Did you get a price for the stone?" Eragon shook his head "No we may have to wait till next year or just sell for the highest bidder." He replied. They walked to Morn's tavern. Legolas sat in the corner with Aragorn and the others and watched what was going on. They saw some people fighting over some king. They watched while Eragon told them of his opinion and nearly got into a brawl. They had their weapons hidden and were ready to spring at the ready but, there was no need. Eventually the whole tavern went quiet as the old man that was called Brom told the story of the Dragon Riders.
*When everyone is leaving*
"Well that was an interesting story…" Eomer said. Faramir nodded "Aye…the fact that the humans and elves were able to communicate with these dragons like that is strange…for weren't the dragons the servant of the Great Enemy Legolas? That is until they became their own masters?" Legolas nodded but said nothing. For he was disturbed by the fact that, Elves were in this land…could they have been one of the Teleri that got lost on their way to Valinor all those ages past? Gimli was rather roused than nervous of the dragons. He was overjoyed to hear that Dwarves were somewhere in this land. "Legolas imagine it! More Dwarves! The things we could learn from each other! The things we could learn of their culture here! I would be filled with joy if I could see at least one Dwarf." Legolas smiled "Aye Gimli you would. But, I would like to learn of the Elves here…" His mind wandered off. Aragorn said "Come let us go my friends. I think we should lie in the woods before we go into the barn for tonight"
At nearly 2am they all awoke to Eragon coming in. They saw him hiding something in a bundle of clothes. "You…all…won't believe what was…in that stone." He moved the clothes and in his hand was a blue baby dragon…
