A continuation of Inheritance - about the new Riders and how they grow at the Hall of the Riders. Quite a bit of interpersonal stuff, some good action as well (uh, eventually). First three chapters - AryaXEragon blossoming. Currently revised and updated till chapter ninetten. Please don't read after that, revision is ongoing and inconsistencies are present!

Though not as famous as her rider, Brom certainly would not have become the heroic figure we know and love were it not for his brave and loyal dragon, Saphira. This is her story and the adventures she shares with Brom in the days before the fall of the Dragon Riders. Rated for blood/violence.

"This world of ours is a series of delicate balancing acts." She whispered, "Tip the scales just a little and the world can either go plummeting into chaos or ascending into harmony. The question is which way will you fall?"

During the final battle against Galbatorix, the bond between Eragon and Saphira is severed. Panicked and grief-stricken, Saphira flees across the ocean to a new land, hoping to find some way to heal the bond. What she discovers, is a dragon unlike anything she has ever encountered before, a wild dragon with a love of all things precious and valuable, a King Under a Mountain: Smaug.
