this chapter is rated K
Eragon sprinted as fast as he could, feverishly searching for Saphira. His heart hammered with excitement of the news. A new dragon! Saphira and I are no longer alone anymore now, Arya is the new rider, and I get to train her! Eragons mind could barely fathom the situation at hand, as all these thoughts flooded the riders mind, making Eragon's head buzz pleasantly with happiness. So completely immersed in his own thoughts the rider almost forgot what he was looking for.
Breaking himself away from his reverie Eragon stopped at a clearing, and looked into the sky searching for Saphira. Eragon scanned the sky, but no matter how hard he searched the rider could not find her. Deciding on a different approach, Eragon tried to look for Saphira with his mind.
"Saphira!".
"Not so loud little one, you might give me a headache!"
Eragon jumped, startled by Saphira's immediate response. "Where are you Saphira?" Eragon asked confused, the dragon sounded very close, but Eragon did not see her anywhere.
"I am in the center of the city entertaining the young ones. Come see!" Saphira replied.
Curious, Eragon took off running to the center of the city. The rider gasped at what he saw, allowing a loud laugh to escape his lungs at the sight. Right before his own eyes young children from around the city were climbing on
Saphira making merry. Also Eragon saw kids putting many various objects in front of her, then they all backed away from Saphira and watched in anticipation as she burned them with careful jets of fire.
The children giggled, and ran excitedly off to find new objects for Saphira to burn. Eragon watched the fun observantly, but with a jolt remembered the reason he had come.
"Saphira listen, I have great news! The last egg in all the land has hatched... for Arya!" Saphira immediately raised her mighty head in interest, then roared thunderously, proclaiming to everyone around the area her absolute joy. The children however took Saphira's roar the wrong way, and ran away screaming.
Ignoring the little kids Saphira spoke, excitement laced under her words. "I am not alone anymore! Where is the hatchling? Saphira asked eagerly.
"He and Arya are in Nasuada's command room waiting for us! Eragon responded quickly.
Without another look Saphira jumped into the sky and started to fly off in the direction of Nasuada's command room. Eragon looked at her for a moment stunned she did not offer him a ride, but quickly shook it off then ran off in
the same direction.
Moments later Eragon arrived only to find he was the last person to arrive at Nasuada's command room. The rider instantly noticed a hopeful expression on the Night hawks' faces, so he assumed that Arya had already arrived.
Eragon stepped into the room, and saw that a window had been opened so that Saphira could keep her head in the room. Arya sat in a chair in front of Nasuada's desk, and the green dragon was nowhere to be seen. Nasuada herself
was seated behind the desk and she motioned for Eragon to sit down in another chair beside Arya. The young Shadeslayer did so, and the meeting commenced.
Saphira was the first one to speak."Where is the hatchling Arya?" Saphira asked eagerly.
Arya lips curved upwards as she replied. "He ran under the table when you entered Saphira, I think he's a little shy." Arya bent down and and picked up the little green dragon. He tried to squirm away, but Arya held him firmly sending calming vibes to the dragon.
Nasuada gasped in surprise, apparently the baby dragon was news to her. "Arya told me she had news, but I never expected this!" Nasuada said, clearly excited.
"I think I'm going to name him Eridor." Arya said. Eridor stopped trying to escape, so Arya got up and set him on the ground close to Saphira. Eridor stood frozen still, seemingly very intimidated by the huge sapphire dragon.
Saphira bent her neck down and examined the baby dragon with a large blue eye. His foot twitched, and through some unspoken understanding Saphira moved her head
back, as to not upset Eridor. Then Eridor went back to Arya and climbed onto her head.
"Such magical creatures dragons are..." Nasuada said longingly.
"May I hold him?" Arya gripped Eridor and handed him to Nasuada. The Varden leader set the young dragon on her desk and watched him with a never ending interest as
Eridor slowly inched closer to the Varden ruler and crouched down, ready to pounce.
Before Arya could stop him Eridor leapt up and landed on Nasuada's head harmlessly. The dark-skinned ruler laughed at the dragon as Arya removed him from her head. Arya sat back down and looked at Eragon smiling.
The only human male present smiled back, but remained silent. Eragon was happy for Arya, but he was also secretly confused about her. Now that the elf was a rider, he didn't know how to act around her. Eragon snapped out of his thoughts when Nasuada asked him a question.
"Eragon, when will Arya start her training?" The ruler asked.
"Arya and Eridor will start their training as soon as possible, but I do not think that it would be wise to begin Eridor's training until he grows stronger, both physically and mentally."
Nasuada nodded her head in agreement, then started talking about how she had contacted the other twelve elves, and how they would be returning to the Varden this evening. Eragon didn't listen very much, and remained silent for the most part of the conversation, not caring to talk. Eragon was relieved when they were finally dismissed from Nasuada's presence.
