Chapter 14
That night while I was in the comfort of my waking dreams I had that same dream that I had had so many times in the last few months The sky wheeled
overhead sometimes I could not tell whether I was looking at the ground or at the sky. I knew I was on Saphira, I could hear the roars of other dragons
and the sound of men dying, the cry of gore crows, but I also heard the sound of Urgals bellowing. But there was a sound I was not familiar with and it was
a little bit unnerving again I wondered what evil we would have to face to bring all the races together again to fight. A clap of thunder shook the dream and
I bolted upright covered in sweat again it seemed that whenever I had that dream that I would wake covered in sweat. It was a few hours before we all had
to get going so I decided I would at least try and get some more sleep but that sound that horrible screeching sound that was in that dream sent fear into
my heart like a ice cold dagger. I soon woke again and it was time to get everyone ready to leave. I donned my armor and circlet and belted Brisingr then
went to wake Murtagh but I noticed he already gone I had to admit it was hard to keep the two away from each other in Fathen Dur but now they were
almost inseparable. When I found them both they were standing at front gate saying goodbye to Jörmundur with the supplies that we needed for the trip
already in there saddlebags. Saphira had been walking beside me I approached the trio and said my goodbyes to Jörmundur and wish him luck as king
knowing he would do well. After we had all said our goodbyes Murtagh, Nasuada, I left they both flew behind me and talked in the privacy of their minds
which I did not broach because it was a happy time for both of them and I would not intrude I thought about many things then said to Saphira in the
privacy of our minds "I am glad that this happened for both of them but it will be interesting having them both on Vroengard." "Yes but I remember how
sad Murtagh's mind was on the journey there and now his mind is full of happiness as is Nasuada's so I am happy for them both." After that my smile faded
as my mind wondered to a subject I hid from everyone even Saphira because it was a hard thing for me to speak about even after all this time. My father
Brom, I thought about him often of late especially about the time we had spent together. I was glad I had gotten to spend time with Brom before he died
but I cannot help but wonder if he was still around what would have happened would my life had turned out any differently. I thought about that a lot as
the three days passed and they passed quickly. We reached the meeting point and I saw that finally a dragon had hatched for the dwarf and Urgal races
which we had been waiting for since I had added the two races to the spell that bound dragons and their riders. I greeted all of my new students which
always brought me joy to get to know the new riders I finally got to the dwarf who was actually an old fighting companion of mine in the war he was also
Orik's cousin and by dwarven law since I was Orik's foster brother through adoption by Hrothgar into his family and clan I said hello to him in dwarfish
which I had learned to speak quite fluently and understand it as well which helped when dealing with dwarves. My cousin spoke with a new found strength
and I told him I was proud to have him as one of my riders. Then I went to the Urgal and found that even though there were still some that attacked
humans and elves on the roads and forests they were always punished if they survived the encounter. I also found out that Urgal in front of me was the
son of one of the Urgals I had fought with during the war and had become friends with over that time Nar Garzhvog his sons full name was hard for me to
pronounce but he let me call him by a nickname which was a shorter version of his name Nar Vohalon I talked to him for a few minutes telling him that I
had known his father and was glad to have his son as one of my riders which seemed to please Nar Vohalon tremendously. It was time to go after that so
we all got on our dragons and left for Vroengard. I was glad to be going home that meant I could see my son and daughter as well as Arya who I had left in
charge while I was gone and whenever I did that she had always done well. We flew across the sea for three days and it was only because the young
dragons wanted to prove themselves to Saphira and Thorn that they pushed themselves to the edge of their endurance which made me proud for they
were still very young. At mid day on the third day home came into sight. I smiled as everyone landed in the courtyard near the gate. I was welcomed back
by a few of the riders who I had already trained Roran was even there but I knew Arya was not she was with our children Brom and Islanzadí I pulled
Murtagh aside and said "Murtagh I want you to get everyone sent to their knew courters and if you and Nasuada wish it she may room with you but if she
wants her own courters you must oblige understand." Murtagh nodded and said he would then I went off the find my family.
I found them in the gardens where Arya always loved to come because of her attachment to all nature due to her being an elf I knew she sensed me so I
walked up behind her and placed a kiss on her cheek she smiled glad that I was home both my children looked at me from her arms I picked my daughter
up out of her mother's arms as I held my little girl she smiled at me I could not help but smile back I kissed her forehead and as I did she yanked on my
hair as she always did it brought her some form of pleasure as it did with my son so I winced as smiled because of her beautiful laughing I looked at Arya
and said "They are never going to stop yanking my hair are they?" Arya laughed and shook her head. I spent the rest of the day with my family happy as
could be to be back home. Later that night though we had put our children to bed and Arya and I were sitting in our living room by the window that looked
out over the city we had built I was looking out the window thinking about Brom my father again but Arya could sniff out lies and when someone she cared
about was brooding like a bloodhound so she immediately asked "Eragon I knew you were brooding before you left but I did not have time to ask you but
now that you are home and it has gotten worse it seems to be causing you pain so either you tell me what you are brooding about or I will not hesitate to
take it from your mind." I knew she was not kidding she would do that and I knew it was only out of love for me but when she did that she was not nice so
I sighed and said "I am just thinking of my father of late. I wonder if he would even recognize me now because of the changes that the dragons wrought on
me during the blood-oath celebration, would he be proud of me for all the things I have done since his death or would he box my ears for getting into all
the messes I did, what would he think about us and his grandchildren who will never know him? I never got the chance to talk to him as my father even
though I spent time with him before he died. I miss him and wish I could hear his voice again at least one even that reprimanding tone he used to use on
me when I did something reckless." I looked down to hid the tears forming in my eyes but I could not hide them from her because she knew when I cried I
had many deep emotions I could not keep in any longer before she and I became a couple she would have said I was being weak but now she knew better
I was not being week it was just the only way I could get my emotions out and regain control sometimes though I never did this in front of anyone other
than her sometimes not even then. "I understand Eragon I miss that old man as well I barely knew him but I was sad to hear of his passing then I found
out from you that you were his son that made me feel hope again because you are more like him than you know and he could not have killed Galbatorix
like you did he would never have thought of that. He would recognize you even with the changes and he would be proud of you and everything you
accomplished since his death and as for us he would be happy for you that you found someone who you loved and who loved you." I smiled and wiped the
tears from my eyes and told her thanks for her words. After another hour of talking that is when we felt it the air seemed to buzz with electricity like
lighting was going to strike but it felt a little different I knew something was about to happen but whether it was good or bad I had yet to find out. I looked
out the window at the courtyard everyone down there felt it as well. That is when a huge flash happened at the front gate and a man was standing there I
thought that maybe one of the new riders had gotten hit by lighting but Arya felt it was something different. We both raced out of our courters and left our
sleeping children to head for the front gate that lead to the dock where the boat that had brought Arya, the elves and I hear the first time was docked.
When Arya and I had gotten to the front gate everyone in Vroengard was there all but four had confused looks on their faced the four who did not had
looks of shock, but I could not see the man in front of them. I drew my sword just in case and headed through the crowd until I was at the front that is
when I saw the man. In shock I dropped my sword, my eyes widened, and when I said came out in little more than a whisper "B-Brom." That is when I
hear a noise coming from the side of me and I looked at another man that I knew as well "Uncle Garrow."
