Chapter 28: The Big Day
I know I hadn't update in a while. I decided to delete my crossover because of the lack of interest people showed in it and because I couldn't figure out how to connect what I already wrote with more things. But, a new and better plot came to my mind just for the Night World series (not in a crossover) and I wanted to give it a shot. So far, it has become popular fast during this week and I wanted to update the first several chapters so that it grabs the interest of people.
However, I just had to update this story today because it is the two month anniversary! 28 chapters, in just two months. Pretty good right? Well, I hope you like this chapter because I am not going to update again tomorrow. I would like to but tomorrow 25 of June is the 1 year anniversary of my first Percy Jackson and the Olympians story; that marked the beginning of my ongoing saga "The Time Chronicles". So, I am going to make a great chapter to celebrate.
Well, I think I said enough for now.
The week passed in Teirm while the Rebel Alliance recovered from the last battle. During that time, many things happened.
The armies of the dwarves and the elves were getting closer to Dras-Leona; promising to be the biggest battle yet in the war when the time comes.
The news that the half elves exist and that an army will join them spread like wild fire across the city.
The Du Vrangr Gata was improving their arcane arts thanks to the scrolls in the ancient language that Delena gave them.
Delena started sparing with Eragon daily so that they improve their technique and stay sharp and they get to know each other better.
Eragon and Arya decided to keep their love secret for now because they don't want the Empire to find out and us their love against them. However, they still find moments to be alone.
Finally, there was the excitement, because Saphira will lay her eggs today. The dragon couple decided to give all the eggs to the riders because they understand that they will need as many riders as they can to overthrow Galbatorix. Besides, since in a few months Saphira could mate with Alfheim again and lay more eggs they could always leave those wild.
The only problem was the distribution of the eggs. They scryed Islanzadi and she wanted all the eggs to be delivered to the elves. She kept saying that they need more elven riders to make amends for past mistakes.
Eventually, they came with an agreement. According to Glaedr, there will be from 2 to 6 eggs. If Saphira will lay 2, 4, or 6 eggs, they will divide the quantity of eggs in half between the elves the humans. However, if there will be 3 eggs they will give 2 to the elves and one to the humans and if there will be 5 then 3 to the elves and 2 to the humans.
The most important authorities of the Alliance were gathered in a clearing of the forest away from the masses. Saphira said she didn't want too much of an audience.
That was when it began.
Saphira began with her contractions and groaned for a few minutes. Everyone watched in awe as she laid the first egg. She kept laying eggs groaning with each one until there were no more eggs in her belly.
There were 5 of them. It meant that three will go to the elves and the rest will be kept by the Varden. One was of an amethyst purple color. Another one was of an orange amber color. The third one was of a coppery brown color. The fourth one was of a white pearl like color. And the last one, like Glaedr predicted, was the same color of a moonstone gem: Silvery blue and also the mix between the colors of Saphira's and Alfheim's scales.
Everyone was happy but no one could beat the joy of Saphira and Alfheim.
"We are finally going to revive our race, Alfheim," Saphira thought him.
"I know and I have been waiting for this… no for you, for a long time," He told her. "I waited until you hatched to be with you and finally that happened. I am very happy."
Saphira smiled.
Then, Eragon and Delena grabbed all the eggs and spent the next few minutes muttering the spell in the ancient language Glaedr gave them to make sure the eggs will be bound to the riders. Soon enough it was done.
"Well, how about we go back to the castle and assemble the best warriors and magicians of the army to let them touch the two Varden eggs?" Eragon suggested.
There you have it. Hehe, you thought there were just going to be four eggs right? Well that was the original plan but I decided to add one more rider to the list. Well, make your bets. Who will be the first 5 new riders of the order? Like my summary states, they will be some of my favorite characters. I won't tell you which now because it will spoil the surprise but you can tell that there will be two humans and three elves. Think you can guess them all correctly? Why don't you review about it?
