Take Me On my Past Adventure
A/N: To Vulpix4Life: Thanxs for the review, again. Its okay about the mistake you made. I made the same mistake the first time I read Eragon, but now I don't because I've read it like ten times (and counting). And as for Murtagh getting the shining light, that's because I don't like how they treated him because of who his father was, plus it's important for later in the story.
To calypso silverhawk: Thanxs for the review. I'm glad you like the last chapter, And I'm glad you like my writing, this is the best I've ever done, and I actual have the plot laid out for the story, not just making it up as I go.
To goodybad: Thanxs for the review, first off. Second, the next book in the Eragon trilogy is Eldest ,which is suppose to be coming out fall of this year. As for how the Varden got the eggs from Galbatorix, you'll just have to keep reading to find out. Hehehe!
Chapter 5: Thoughts, Insults, and Swords
I sat with my dragon, Eragon, Sedna, Murtagh, and his dragon, Beroan, in a hall where the dwarves at their meals. A few dwarves sat at the long, single table, talking in hushed voice. I wondered what they were saying but I sat to far away to listen in.
The group around me was taking but I remained silent listening to them and my dragon's thoughts. Mainly the dragon seem to be curious and excited with the new things around it. The dragon nipped at some of the food I disregarded on my plate.
Can we go now, please?" I asked once I couldn't sit still in the chair at the table any longer.
"How about I take you to the blacksmith, then Murtagh and Sedna can join us later." Eragon said standing up, as I stood.
We'll see you down there in a couple minutes." Sedna said.
I picked up my dragon as it started to walk down the table towards where the dwarves sat, but I did not let it go. I followed Eragon out of the room, while placing the struggling dragon on my shoulder. I questioned it on why it wanted to be by the dwarves. I felt hate come from the bond between us. Why?
I asked the dragon.
It gave me a single word in response. Words.
What, I don't understand?
Spoken words. That was all it would say to me as I followed Eragon through the passages of the city, when a thought struck me. Why can't the sky be seen from any place and why are there no windows?
The dragon answered the question in one word. Underground.
Suddenly I understood, the city was built underground to protect it from the empire, whoever they are. I pondered the thought over in my head with no more comments came from the dragon at all and as I remembered it, the dragon still had no name. What shall I call you? I asked through the connection of our minds.
I got a feeling of being unsure from the dragon.
I'll give you ideas of names then you can choose one, okay? I asked it.
Yes. Came the dim response.
Let's see, how about Ana? I asked
No.
What about Elizabeth?
No. It answered making a funny noise.
Susannah? I asked thinking of my mother.
No. It then made the noise again which I realized was its laugh.
I ignored it and asked another name. Lily?
No. Again it laughed.
Then I realized that the names I was trying to give it where girl names and he was a guy.
Well what about. . . .Jura?
No. That was the name of a red dragon.
William?
No.
Amethyst?
No.
Hírador?
No.
Galzra?
No.
How about some help instead of just saying no?
No.
Is that all you can say?
No.
Great, just what I need, a sarcastic dragon.
No, not me. I'm not sarcastic.
Whatever, how about some name ideas?
How about the name Raïssa?
I like that name. I said to my dragon, Raïssa.
As do I, my friend. Raïssa said, and I could feel the happiness that he felt through the bond that connected our minds.
Now my Dragon had a name after a long walk through the city. I had followed Eragon though the city to a small store with a sign above the door reading: Blacksmith. Eragon opened the door and let me walk in before he did.
The inside of the shop was full of many things. Everything from horse shoes to swords to tools. The swords where placed on selves out of reach for any child that would enter and try to take one. I was just tall enough to see the lowest self of swords. On the lower selves sat tools of every kind. On the wall hung many different sizes of horse shoe. The place was small but held so many things.
"How can I help?" A young girl asked as she came out from the back of the store.
"We need a sword." Eragon said, as I stood looking at the swords on the self.
"What kind of sword would you like?" The girl asked.
"Not for me, for Rosenthal." Eragon said motioning to me. I walked over to them and took Raïssa off my shoulder and set him on the counter.
I turned to look at the girl who looked very surprised. Her hair was a dark red and was pulled into a long braid that went down to her lower back. Her eyes were a dark blue with a sparkle in them that gave her eyes an unworldly look to them. She smiled at me as I looked at the rags that she wore compared to the beautiful clothing I wore.
"You must be the new Rider." Her voice was soft and light.
"Yes, I am." I said smiling.
"How about I find one that will work for you then you can fix it the way you would like." Eragon asked looking from the girl to me.
"Okay." I answered and return to looking at the different tools on the selves.
Eragon followed the girl into the back part of the shop as the door opened and in walked two dwarves. They were deep into the conversation and did not see me standing off to the side.
"Now we have three human and no elves," the first dwarf was saying and I knew he was talking about me, Eragon, and Murtagh.
"The girl is half elf so I've heard." The second dwarf said.
"We need a full blood elf. Not a girl from the future who doesn't know anything about riders or our world." The first dwarf said with hate.
"Brarzûl, we can fix what has already happen, we can only hope the future will be brighter. And that there will be a full blood elf rider soon for our side."
Suddenly the first dwarf, Brarzûl, spotted me standing by a self and motion to his company to drop the conversation.
Did those two really mean what they said? I asked Raïssa as he came to me from where he laid on the counter. I picked him up and set him on my shoulder as the two dwarves walked up to the counter, giving me glares.
I guess they wished for someone else to the next riders, instead of you and Murtagh.
Just as I was about to say something else to Raïssa Eragon came from the back of the story followed by the girl. Eragon walked over to me as the girl began to help her other two costumers. "I think I found just the sword for you. Come on I'll show you." Eragon said and motion for me to follow into the back.
The back of the shop was a small room with many selves lining the walls, a stair case leading to the upper floor of the place is where the family lived, and a door that lead somewhere else. In the center of the room was a table with three swords on it.
At the sight of the swords on the table Raïssa become curious again, but he remained on my shoulder. I also became curious as to why I need a sword. I knew I would have to protect the Varden, but would I need a sword to do so.
"These are the best sword for now until a real rider's sword can be made by the elves for you." Eragon told me motioning at the swords on the table.
I stepped forward and picked up the first sword and was amazed at how awkward it felt in my hands. I set that one down and picked up one of the others. This one also felt awkward in my hands. I realized that it felt awkward because I had never used or even held a sword before. I set down the second sword and picked up the last sword on the table. This one felt the least awkward in my hands.
Eragon was watching every closely as I had picked up each of the swords in turn with out saying anything. Now he spoke while I had the last sword in my hand. "I think that sword will work the best for you for now."
I was going to ask him if there would be any need for this any time soon when the girl came into the back of the shop .
"We'll take this one." Eragon said to her.
"Let me get you the sheath for it."
"Okay then I'll need a bow for Rosenthal."
Once the girl had retrieved the sheath for my new sword she opened the door to another room and brought out an armful of bows. She closed the door behind her and put the armful of bows on the table. Eragon picked up one at a time and looked each over carefully. Finally he picked up one that seem to be up to his standards, I guess, for he handed me it.
The bow was made of a red colored wood and a strong bow string. This was the best bow I had ever seen. The balance was perfect and as I pulled the string it hummed beautifully. This was the perfect bow.
"I think that this will be all. Now how much for that bow and the sword?" Eragon asked, picking up the sword off the table.
"I'll get the buckskin tube to keep it in, then I'll figure the cost."
The girl directed us into the front of the shop as she went upstairs to get the case for my new bow. This was the best thing I had ever gotten, but there was one problem, I had no money to pay for the sword or the bow.
"What about the money?" I asked Eragon.
"Don't worry about it, I've got the money to pay for it." Eragon said smiling at me and I realized how much I loved his smile.
The door to the shop opened and in walked Sedna with Murtagh and Beroan. Sedna smiled and walked over to me.
"Got your sword, yet?" she asked as Murtagh walked over to Eragon.
"Yeah and my own bow."
"Now, the total is twenty coins." Said the girl as she came out of the back with my bow in a case. Eragon gave her the money and she handed him the bow and sword.
"Oh and Rosenthal you forgot your bag." Murtagh said taking my bag off his shoulder and handed it to me. I accepeted my bag from him with a thank you. Eragon then handed me the bow, which I slung across my back, then he handed me the sword, which I put around my waist.
Raïssa gave a comment as I felt unsure. You look like a real rider now, Rosenthal.
Thanks and please call me Kacie, you're my friend.
"Okay how about we turn in for now then tomorrow we can start training and preparing to leave." Eragon said as he lead us out of the blacksmith shop.
