Epilogue. Peace in the World
Katrina labored heavily to help reestablish the Rider's order in the world. This time the Rider's Fortress of Vanhaulla was a floating fortress in the air. It flew across the skies of the world among the clouds and out of reach of all enemies. After building the fortress Katrina and Kailen married, they had seven children together of which six became Dragon Riders. Arron Strong the eldest had the unique ability to transform into a Dragon at will. He was a very powerful spellcaster, in fact he was one of the most powerful in the world second only to his mother. Katrina wanted to give Kailen immortality but he refused and died at the age of 165.
150 years passed before the High Council was formed, Aiedel daughter of Eragon and Elva was made leader of the council. Then there was Katrina, Chaka(Urgal)-Xanoth (Gray Dragon), Herson-Vale (White Dragon), Sheela-Thorn (Red Dragon), Vrael-Bin'Rau (Brown Dragon), Adella (Dwarf)-Rhune (Blue Dragon), Menore (Elf)-Emere (Green Dragon), Rathgar (Dwarf)-Vero (Black Dragon), Jason-Taora (Sky Blue colored Dragoness), Nole-Ashben (Smoke Colored Dragon), Caxeah (Female Urgal)-Ghaurn (light Green colored Dragon).
After 300 hundred years Aiedel retired and left with her mother and father who were going on the quest to find the original Eragon. Katrina and Soarren became Grandmasters of the Dragon Rider order. During her reign a dark sect arose called the Watchers. The watchers were extremely powerful and very knowledgeable about Dragon Rider magic. They almost brought down the Free Kingdoms of the world and they assassinated King Roran the V. To end them once and for all Katrina and Soerren became Ka'Soarra and hunted down the infidels one by one. The Watchers fortress was actually in the spine.
After defeating the Watchers Katrina and Soerren decided to go on the quest for the giant's jewel of immortality. They flew south to the lands of Unmire at the bottom of the world. They found the ancient temple after 9 months of searching, but it was guarded by all manner of creatures both magical and otherwise. Werecats who used the temple to hide from Brenan, Urgals, humans who could transform into the giant wolves of the Beors, and a Shade. When Katrina was badly injured during the fighting Soerren scooped her up and flew into the air. There was a bright flash and they became Ka'Soarra who with one word killed them all. She entered the temple after removing all the ancient trap spells and triggering all the traps with her mind. The Jewel was guarded by a great snake with red glowing eyes. They killed the snake with their fiery sword and hid it in the Rider's vault inside the fortress of Vanhaulla.
The next two hundred years was uneventful and when they passed Katrina said her goodbyes and left to follow her great uncle. Katrina first traveled north to the frozen lands of Vathla. She fulfilled her promise and brought the Giants their jewel of immortality. When Taul'Horm touched the jewel all the wrinkles in his face became smooth and his gray hair filled out and became black as a Raven's feather. As Taul promised he gave Katrina the secret weapon and told her how to use it, but warned that it could only be used once every 200 years. She and Soerren spent the next year with the giants before they decided to move on.
As Ka'Soarra they could travel any distance in a matter of minutes. They flew across the world zipping through the air like an arrow shot from a bow at a thousand times their regular speed. Ka'Soarra only had to flap her powerful wings maybe twice to cross the ocean.
Only this is known by the gods-the Elves were powerful and immortal as the Dragons-but they lost their immortality when they crossed the sea to Alagaesia and the mortal realm. Few if any feel the call of the sea and dare to cross it and find the land of eternal spring and fall...
Ka'Soarra flew towards the rising sun where the sea seems to go on forever and ever. Below great beasts of the sea and sea Dragons or Dugeorass try to tempt and trick them into coming into the water, but they ignore them all. As they approach the rising sun a great eye one quarter the size of Alagaesia watches them from below the waves of the sea. It is both familiar and strange to her, the eye closes a layer of rocky like skin closes from the left and right then the eyelid on top joins the lower one and now it looks like a mountain peaking up out of the water.
There is a bright flash and when the light fades Ka'Soarra finds herself flying over great fields of green grass and perfectly shaped trees-as if a gardener had cut the trees into the shapes they are. Then there were bushes, some were in the form of Dwarves, others Human, Urgal, Elf, Werecat, Dragon, Dugeorass, animals of the Beor Mountains, the sea and land. There was a bush that looked like a Razac, but it was barren and dead. Another bush was growing next to it and it had the shape of the Emperor's Lethzarac. When Ka'Soarra landed she became Katrina and Soarra again.
Katrina looked a bush with black leaves and smoke writhing up from the roots. It was a bush in the shape of a Shade and there were all kind if ugly disgusting bugs crawling up and down it. ("Soerren do you think these bushes are connected to the life force of the races of the world?")
Soarren was standing next to the Dragon bush sniffing it and as he did his eyes and spikes glowed. ("A powerful magic is in this place.")
"I would not stand next to that bush too long!"
They both turned to the voice that belonged to Eragon Shadeslayer, "Eragon!" Katrina shouted running towards him.
As they hugged Soerren joined them in three bounds, ("It is good to see a familiar face.")
Eragon smiled, "Welcome to you both."
"What is this place?"
"You will learn the name and when you do don't ever speak it aloud-Come they wishe to meet you both."
They followed Eragon across the land to a marble structure that seemed to be in ruins and at the same time was fixing itself. In the center of the courtyard surrounding by rising seats on level behind the other sat Sapphira who was as big as a small mountain, but bigger than her was another Dragon, a white Dragon and sitting on the Dragon's right paw was an Elf.
When they spoke they both spoke as one, but the Elf's mouth didn't move neither did he speak with their minds, "Welcome Katrina Strong and Soerren – We are Eragon First Rider and Bid'Daum First Bonded."
