Kuldr woke up early the next morning. He stepped outside, the glare of the sun stinging his eyes as he adjusted to the light and averted his eyes. He yawned and walked up to the prow of the boat and leaned over the edge into the crystal clear water. Underneath the boat he could see fish swimming, he looked up at the sound of birds chirping in the distance and saw a strange wolf among the rest of the animals, looking closer he saw that the wolf was different from the rest; it was a wolf yet not a typical one, the wolf was blue, almost the same colour as his blade. Kuldr stepped down from the boat and walked towards the eagle, only for it to disappear from sight, Kuldr stood there confused, wondering what happened. In the distance Kuldr saw Blodhgarm on the boat, walking back over to the boat Kuldr looked back and saw the wolf again. Kuldr stepped onto the boat and walked over to Blodhgarm "Cousin, am I the only one who can see that?" he asked

"No, I can see it as well, it's an mirage" Blodhgarm replied

"You've always been good at the theoretical aspect of magic why?" Kuldr asked

"I honestly don't know, I reckon it's just a spirit taking the shape of something else" Blodhgarm told him "What do you see?"

"I see a blue wolf, the same colour as my sword with eyes like rubies that look sad and sharp white claws" Kuldr said

"I see a white hawk with black eyes, looking as if it as peace" Blodhgarm told him "I think that this is a spirit that takes the form of something that represents you"

Kuldr turned around at the sounds of footsteps "Morning Vanir"

"Morning Kuldr-Elda" He replied "Shall we set off? We aren't far now, at this rate we'll be home by midday tomorrow!" He exclaimed

"If that's the case then let us be off, I haven't been in Ellesmera in over a hundred years!" Kuldr told him before heading to untie the sails.


Eragon stopped working to admire his 'project' in the past four days he had flattened the top of the mountain and in the middle lay the body of a dragon with feet, wings and a tail, all that he had to do was the head. Eragon sat down and took some time to think about what he had accomplished in the past few years. It was the first chance he actually had to reflect on all he had done in his life since Doru Araeba. He just though about what he had done since he had defeated Galbatorix, he had broken up quite a few battles and prevented rebellion but he never found the Belt of Beloth the Wise, this was something that he had never forgotten about, something that still haunted him, he vowed to himself there and then that if he was ever to return to Alagaesia, he would find that belt. Other than that he though about what his life would've been like if he hadn't received Saphira's egg, how dreary and boring it would've been compared to now, he would probably have been forced into Galbatorix's army with Roran and he would never have probably died at the hands of the Varden or at the hands of Galbatorix or Murtagh when they discovered his past. Roran wouldn't have met Katrina and he would never have become the person he was today. Changing his thoughts from such strange thoughts he listened in on Saphira as she spoke to Rhunon, he would really have to head back soon now, he needed to see the progress of the tower and the interior of the hall. Eragon returned to the work at hand, he stared at his masterpiece, making a mental note to thank Orik for teaching him how to use a chisel and hammer. Eragon started again, thinking only about his work and nothing else, smiling as he worked, taking pride in his actions, loving how he felt. For the first time in months, he was at peace with himself. Happy with his thoughts and his mind, he focused on nothing else but the sounds of the chisel and hammer and only the image in his mind of his sculpture.


Ok guys, looks like Eragon is finally feeling better! Kuldr seems somewhat upset inside but will he figure out why? Blodhgarm is his usual self and Vanir is definitely cheerful as usual!

I'll be posting another chapter later on today but remember I live in England!
