Okay before you make assumptions, I did not say what color the hatchling was

Anyway here you go

This is how Lirothaen got to du evarinia; it was also supposed to be chapter 10 but whateves *shrugs*

Lirothaen could barely believe his eyes; he held in his hands the lost sword of brom, bane of the foresworn, founder of the varden, and father of Eragon shadeslayer. It was amazing how unharmed it was being there over two hundred years and only accumulated a small amount of rust.

Lirothaen cast a disguising spell on Unbitr and strapped it on his belt to the opposite side as his own sword. He drew Unbitr and found that the blade was not rusted at all, with his new sword, and the knowledge he could use it he strode forward unto illiria.

Night fell and he could not see the walls of the city so he made camp by a small tree-lined stream. This time he cast a spell to alert him if anything dangerous walked within one hundred feet of him. As he dreamt, he saw her, it was not a dream like the one that told him of Unbitr, nay it was as if she were contacting him. As her lips moved, nothing came out; she suddenly turned to the side and said something he could hear. "I still love you Lirothaen…" she then turned and ran away from him, crying.

Lirothaen woke crying, morning had not fully come yet, but he could see light on the horizon. He sat there and watched the sunrise. When the sun was up, he gathered his belongings, and made for illiria.

He reached the city by around noon, and went to the trade market to sell some knick-knacks he had found in his travels. When he was done he had enough coin for a horse and maybe a loaf of bread if he was lucky. Prices were lower in illiria for bread and he might have enough coin after he bought his new horse.

He made for the stables and looked at the livestock, there were four that he could choose and still afford. He found one with dark brown body, almost in a reddish color, and a white nose. After a short haggle with the stable master, he bought the mare and thanked the man. He walked to the bakery and bought a medium-sized loaf of bread. He then walked to the center of the city and sat on the curb to eat.

As he ate more and more people started to gather around a dais with five padded tables on it. He was considering moving when a loud roar filled the air, and a minute later a woman with blonde hair started walking to the dais carrying a chest inlayed with gold. The woman had to have been an elf, what else could she have been with how gracefully she walked. The elven woman set the chest on the table and opened it, there shone a bright aquamarine blue egg. The woman called "let all the children touch the egg."

With that children came from every direction and lined up in front of the table to touch the egg. The woman smiled at the children and then looked directly into Lirothaen's green eyes. Her smile disappeared, and even though it had been ten years, and she was no longer radiating with joy as she usually did, he knew it was Annari.

He heard her cast a spell to anchor the egg in place, and she sprinted to him end embraced him. She hugged him harder than he had ever been hugged before.

When she let go of him to let him get some air she said "Lirothaen, you received my message! I had no idea it would even reach you! It has been so long I…"she trailed off and after a slight pause she kissed him passionately.

After several seconds she backed away from him, still with her arms around his neck and said "you have no idea how long I have waited to do that!" she said happily.

"Ten years, six months, and four days. That is how long it has been since I left you." Lirothaen said sadly.

Annari embraced him and laid her head on his shoulder. Then with her head still on his shoulder, she said "you are still young enough, I want you to touch the egg, just in case."

He smiled softly and said "I know what egg this is and it has not hatched or me before."

"You can still touch it." She said sadly.

Lirothaen nodded and slowly stood, Annari's face lit up as he slowly made his way to the egg. When he reached the back of the line of children, Annari had reclaimed her place by the egg smiling longingly. When the line in front of him had finished and he was next in line, he popped the last of his loaf of bread into his mouth and touched the egg with a passive expression. Nothing happened.

"See, I this egg has already declined hatching for me, and I will not be its rider." He said in a sad matter-of-fact way.

Annari solemnly nodded and placed the egg back in the chest. After she said her farewells, she was climbing on elliren when an elf ran down the road. He was carrying a chest much like the one Annari had brought.

"Greetings, rider, you have forgotten the egg entrusted to the city, it has not been presented to the public for three years and would probably be best if you presented it while you are still here." Said the elf.

"Very well, I shall present the egg to the public." said Annari, climbing down from elliren. She took the chest from the elven man and made her way back to the dais in the center of the city.

When she opened the chest a black egg with red and white veins was sitting in the chest. Annari looked at Lirothaen questioningly; he shook his head and said "I have never touched a black egg before."

Annari's expression lit up slightly and she beckoned for him to get in line, he rolled his eyes and did as he was told.

When he was in line, he noticed that behind him was a young urgal, no taller than a dwarf. After a considerable amount of time, it was finally his turn. He placed his hands on the egg, again nothing happened. He was about to tell Annari something when something did happen, the egg vibrated and started to wobble. Then a web of white cracks started to appear, a shocked expression crossed his face and he saw the same expression cross Annari's face.

After about five minutes of small cracks appearing on the egg's surface, it suddenly shot straight up in the air two and a half feet, when it hit the table again, it burst into a thousand tiny pieces. In the scattered wreckage of the egg stood a dragon with pure black scales, red eyes and wing membrane, the dragon's wing arms were pure black but the membrane was wine red. A stark contrast that was both beautiful and horrifying. A single faint red line ran down the dragon's spine, fanning-out at the end of its fanned tail to be the same color as its wings.

"It is a male!" said Annari her shocked expression disappearing and in its place appeared pure joy.

"Touch him, Lirothaen." she said excitedly.

Lirothaen tentatively complied, there was a flash of light, and suddenly an icy-cold pain shot through Lirothaen. Lirothaen howled in pain, but stayed conscious throughout the ordeal, the pain was terrible but it was not as bad as the grilishrrg, or his banishment. Finally after what seemed like hours, the pain subsided. He looked at Annari to see her genuinely shocked face, a loch of her golden hair hung down over her face, but she did not seem to notice.

"How did you do that?" she asked.

"Do what?" asked Lirothaen in a pained voice while he stared at his gedwey ignasia swirling in the shape of a silver oval over his palm.

"Stay awake, it has only been done four times in history, you have now made that number five I guess. You are also the first to accomplish such a feat since the fall, all those years ago. How did you do it?" asked Annari.

"I do not know." He said simply, turning to face his dragon.

"What will you name him?" asked Annari, once again beaming with joy.

Lirothaen appeared thoughtful, after a minute he finally said "I name thee, blodhgrell, bloodwing." Once Lirothaen had said it a note of satisfaction came from blodhgrell.

"A very fitting name." said Annari smiling widely.

Lirothaen nodded, before he could say anything the elf that brought the egg out said "what is your name, rider?"Said the elf, his voice sounding vaguely familiar.

Lirothaen turned to face the elf and said suddenly proud of it "my name is Lirothaen, son of Eragon shadeslayer and Arya droting, fallen prince of the elves." He said proudly, much of the crowd gasped with shocked expressions.

The elf recoiled; a shocked expression plastered on his face "you, you were the one that was banished! Please, do not try for revenge I am only visiting, it was not my fault it was the law!" cried the elf now pleading. It took Lirothaen a minute to figure out who the poor fool was, but when he figured it out, he laughed.

"I did not want revenge on you. I wanted revenge on a person I shall not say. I never wanted it from you." Said Lirothaen slightly laughing.

The man blushed; embarrassed that he had made himself look a fool in front of two dragon riders and the city as a whole. He then took of at a brisk pace toward the citadel. Lirothaen watched in amusement as the elf scurried away.

With that Annari said "shall we be off, then?"

"I do believe that would be wise." Replied Lirothaen following Annari back to elliren they mounted quickly, despite it being ten years since he had ridden on a dragon.

As they made their way to du evarinia, Lirothaen had a terrible sense of anticipation that he could not shake. In fact it only got worse the closer he got to du evarinia. After nearly a week and a half they stopped for the night at the beach of the eastern ocean, elliren lay out on the sand to rest her sore wings. Lirothaen could not help but notice that blodhgrell had already grown at least two and a half inches in height, and around three to four in length.

"We should be at the island by sundown tomorrow." said Annari, handing Lirothaen a large fruit that grows everywhere around the beach.

Lirothaen bit into the orange-ish yellow skin into the golden flesh inside, it was delicious. After he swallowed he said "do you remember when I told you about my encounter with the grilishrrg?"

"Of course." She said, shooting him a questioning look.

"Ever since I woke up from the morning after, I have been feeling something growing in me, I've been stronger, faster, and my hair is starting to turn black. I have no idea what it is, and if it is something the grilishrrg did, then…" he said, being cut off by Annari.

"What!" she exclaimed, standing.

Lirothaen did not know what to make of it; he simply looked at her questioningly. She then said "why did you not tell me about this! You have death-fever, it is easy to cure early on, but as it advances it is nearly impossible!" she exclaimed, looking pale to the face.

"Have the scars from them come back?" she asked fearfully.

Lirothaen lifted his shirt to check because he did not even know. When he had lifted his shirt, it revealed a flat muscularly built chest riddled with scars. Annari's face paled even more at the sight, if Lirothaen did not know any better he would say she was starting to cry.

"it is too late all that have gotten this far in the sickness have died." She said actually starting to cry.

"All others that have had it also went unconscious during their bond. And besides…" he was cut off when a being touched his mind.

"Hello once again elfling, you may remember me from a long time ago. I am aromarth the seeing, I have seen what happened to you, and what is happening to you. Do not be afraid, you will survive this illness, but you will always have the affects. You will be raven hared, the strongest and fastest being alive, your dragon will also be more powerful than any other. But be wary because you will also have your weaknesses, for example you will be weakened by the color white. You can share this information with no one but the woman in your midst. And only a fraction to her you can share. With that aromarth left and Lirothaen awoke to see Annari sitting against elliren crying.

Lirothaen got up and sat down beside her, he placed his arm around her, he moved her head to his shoulder and cried into his muscular chest. "I have been contacted by the dragon from my birthday diner again. He said I will live, and that I will benefit from this."

Annari lifted her head and looked at him with a shocked expression. "So this dragon can see the future, can he?" asked Annari. "Did he say anything about this?" she said, a split-second later she grabbed the back of his head and pulled him into her lips. She kissed him for a few seconds like that and then she opened her mouth all the way and released her tongue, allowing his to enter. She shifted her arms slightly until they were around his neck, just as he had moved his to her hips. They continued like that then suddenly broke apart gasping for air, Annari smiled at him in a 'I'm not done with you yet' way and kissed him again.

Sometime later elliren emitted a strange coughing growl, and Annari, breaking the kiss said "what could possibly be so amusing!"

Elliren then broadcasted her thoughts to the both of them and said "well, lovebirds look to the east!" they both complied and saw that the sun was rising.

Annari's cheeks turned bright red in a blush and Lirothaen chuckled and put his shirt and cloak back on because they had somehow gotten taken off during the night. Blodhgrell screeched from somewhere behind them, and they tuned to see him soaking wet, a small crab attached to his tail. They all broke out into laughter when blodhgrell whipped his head around in an attempt to eat the crab, but missed and did a small flip. Lirothaen helped his dragon get the crab off his tail, when he was done blodhgrell promptly ate the crab.

They all mounted elliren and made their way to the island. It was about noon when they first saw the smudge of land on the horizon. Half an hour later they were above the island, Annari said "I am going to take you to your father's room. You need to talk to him."

Lirothaen nodded, but said nothing; he was frightened at how Eragon would react. They soon landed, Annari dismounted first and greeted Eragon and Arya, Lirothaen lifted his cloak to show his swords, and blodhgrell was in his arms. When he was ten feet from his father, he threw back his hood. Eragon fainted, the one reaction he had not expected. His mother nearly fainted but instead started to cry, "My son, you have returned!"

Otay nice long chapie for you guys (and gals)

I also want to say that I will be making Lirothaen's…condition… turn out as awesome as possible!

And don't forget to review!

Ps the crab's name is jimmy (R.I.P. jimmy the crab, cause of death, he f***** with a dragon)
