What have I done the Dragon King thinks as he walks among the dead. Here he is approaching the edge of a cliff thinking of why this war had to happen.
All this death, all this destruction, all because of me and what I thought was right. As he sits down, his legs dangling off the side of the cliff, he begins to review all that has happened.
*Flashback*
As the Dragon King sits on his soothing chair in his private study, he thinks of ways he can end a possible war with the destructive demons and the Demon King.
It was common knowledge that dragons and demons were the worst of enemies. It all started when demons first came from Demon Land, which was a secluded land that was very far-off north. The king of the demons at that time was the cruel King Vicar Arnaut. He thought that everything that the demons found was theirs because they thought they were the most powerful race and that none could dare to compare to them, so when the demons arrived at Alagaesia centuries ago, they had thought that Alagaesia would be easy to take over, but obviously they underestimated the power of the mighty dragons.
And thus started the war that lasted decades. Not one side winning over the other, a game of tug of war to say. Until the 4th Dragon King, King Yeoman made a treaty with the demons saying that the demons get the northernmost top of Alagaesia near Lake Rona and the dragons get the rest. Of course, the demons rejected the treaty at first, but over time they realized they were not going to win the war so they accepted and have hated dragons and all of Alagaesia ever since.
After the demons, the elves came and then the rest of the populations of Alagaesia.
But recently the demons have become restless and started breaking the treaty and attacking small villages. But then they attacked the major elven city Nadindel and the elves became resentful towards the demons and started going to attack but before they could, the newest Dragon King, King Vrael, went for negotiations before any bloodshed.
But when he was alone in his room, the Demon Queen, Queen Arlette, was very manipulative and seductive and manipulated Vrael into the bed which would cause a war.
That's what caused this. Vrael thought That stupid witch... It is time Umaroth (A.N. apologies if I spelled that incorrectly)
I know Vrael, I know Umaroth said sadly.
It was time to hand over Vrael's son over to the elves and their king, King Evandar, had said that he would take little Eragon in and nurture him until he is of age to take the mantle of the Dragon King and seal away the demons forever.
Vrael walks back into the ruined city of Vroengard and into the courtyard where he went into little Eragon's room.
" Eragon," He said gruffly " Its time to go "
" Where are we going, Father," Eragon said disciplined. Vrael was not a good father to his son and only accepted him into his household because of him being the last living heir to the Dragon Throne. But Eragon learned to live happily by himself.
" I do not need to explain myself to you, bastard " Vrael said in his usual aggrieved voice.
" Yes Father, " Eragon said with no emotion.
Both Eragon and Vrael walk out of the castle and into the courtyard and got on Umaroth. As they got on Vrael started to second guess himself.
Is this the right thing to do? Should I be doing this? All these questions started to fill his mind as Umaroth started flying out into the night.
