I did own Eragon, but Durza stole it from me and gave it to Galbatorix. Then Arya stole it from him and sent it to a random location in a random forest on the other side of the (freaking) continent, where it was found by a very Christopher Paolini. Now (sigh) he owns it.

This is set after Eragon leaves Ellesméra, it is when Glaedr and Oromis are raising Eragon's other Dragons. This chapter explains the personalities of the Dragons and the second part of the prophecy, which they will tell Eragon when they meet him.

Chapter 10: The chosen ones

Glaedr woke the baby Dragons, who were very sad from their rider's departure.

"Rise little ones, your training awaits." Glaedr snorted and then waited for two more minutes. They still hadn't risen, so he shifted them all with his snout. His daughter, Domia was first up, eager to please her father. He nudged her lovingly, and she sent a jet of fire up into the air. Her silver and gold scales shimmered, as per usual. The others yawned and climbed out of the nest made by Saphira.

"Little ones. Your growth has been increased by a spell, and in three weeks, you will be the size of Saphira. After that, the spell will have worn off, so you will all grow at the same rate as Saphira. Now is the time that you yourselves will learn to fly. With normal dragons, it would be a month before they could attempt such a feat, and six before they could breathe fire or be ridden. But you are already the size to grow fire and be ridden, so I expect to be teaching you of elongating the amount of time you can breathe fire for. I myself can breathe fire for as long as a day, but that takes a century of practice. Saphira, on the other hand, can do so continuously for three hours, a goal that you will also achieve by the end of your training with Oromis and I. Now for your flying. You will all jump of this cliff, but be warned, you will fall ten feet before you can begin to flap your wings."

"But master, what if we fall to the ground?" said Delois.

"I will catch you if you fall. But if you spread your wings, you can fly away with me. But you can't fly unless you let yourself fall."

Ervindr roared, wanting to take to the skies. Glaedr made the four line up on the edge of the cliff, and they leapt off in good faith. Ervindr flew at one with the wind, he was certainly going to be a talented flyer. Domia struggled at first, but was very determined and managed to stay up in the air. Hvitr took to the air with immediate grace. Delois was not so lucky. She fell ten feet and Glaedr raced down to catch her. He managed to do so, but she had broken one of her wings in the vast expanse of the three hundred foot tall trees of Du Weldenvarden. He flew her to safety, swiftly up onto the Crags and softly dropped her on a patch of grass. He called Oromis, who quickly came to her aid. A worried Ervindr also came, followed by a caring Hvitr, and a jealous Domia.

"You poor thing. Not to worry, I will have you fixed in no time." He began uttering complex spells in the ancient language, as a dragon's wing was very delicate and needed specific phrases to be fixed correctly. Her bones clicked back into place. Ervindr nuzzled her, conscious for the wellbeing of his fellow dragon. Oromis stopped. "There, you are healed."

The dragons set off again, Delois was wearier than the others, but she soon managed to spread her wings. She was so graceful. "Glaedr I think it's time you wrapped up the lesson and teach them how to hunt."

"As you wish.

Little ones, follow me to the edges of Ellesméra where we can hunt without bringing death into the capital."

"Yes, ebrithil." They all replied. They then took flight once more, speeding off to the outskirts of the city in a race.

That was an extremely short chapter!

DETAILS: I have decided to make a competition out of it as I have had writers block on this for ages; so, as a result, the competition is as follows:

- You will write a chapter about the dragon training.

- It will be about flying techniques and fire breathing and Eldunari and other dragon stuff.

- One rule is this, neither Glaedr nor Oromis can be out of character, and it must be about the four dragons. The chapter will expand massively on the personalities of the dragons, AND I don't care how much training there is if you put a lot of details of their personalities into it.

- Domia should be sarcastic and jealous; Delois should be sensitive and caring; Ervindr confident and enthusiastic; Hvitr shy, funny and mischievous.

For me this is a chance to get to know the people who read my story, and to show you that nobody is perfect, especially not me as I am totally stuck with this concept.

WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED, PM ME THE FINAL DRAFT AND I WILL EDIT, CONGRATULATE, AND GIVE CREDIT FOR YOUR WORK!
