Chapter 2

Are we sure about this Umaroth? What if Evandar doesn't accept Eragon?, what if the demons managed to hunt him down at Ellesmera and hunt him down? Vrael said to Umaroth troubled.

All these questions began assaulting Vrael's mind and unfortunately Umaroth's mind as well. Vrael has been doing this for the past two hours they have been in the sky and Umaroth couldn't take it anymore and so he snapped at his rider in a rage.

VRAEL! Umaroth said outraged. Stop with these questions you are going to drive me to the edge of insanity!

Umaroth had said this to Vrael so infuriated that little Eragon had turned his head towards Umaroth's colossal head in fear, wondering what had his father had done to make Umaroth so bitter.

I am deeply sorry that I have irritated you, please forgive me. Vrael said sincerely so he can calm the great dragon down.

But sadly for Vrael, Umaroth was not done with his tirade yet.

Since when did you care so much for your little son. All you have ever done for him is be inconsiderate towards him and you have never loved in any way, shape, or form. So why do you care so much for him right when we are about to hand Eragon over to the elves for his safety.

But Vrael couldn't answer him for all he had said was true. He never did love Eragon in a fatherly way or in any way at all. All he had ever done for him is give him food, water, and shelter. But he realized that just because Eragon is a demon does not mean that he who he is on the inside. On the inside, he was a quiet little boy with a little shyness.

But now that Vrael had perceived this piece of information, he couldn't help but let tears fall down his cheek because for all this time he was looking for his source of happiness, it was in front of him this entire time.

Finally, you understand your mistakes Vrael, Umaroth said to his rider with tenderness.

" Father, why are you crying, " Little Eragon said with a shred of concern. He had learned if his father didn't care for him then he should not care for his father, but his compassionate heart would always feel the need to ask.

" There is no reason, my son, just my eyes are sweating that is all" Vrael said with a chuckle wiping his " sweaty eyes ".

" Let me show you something," He said picking up Eragon and resting him on his shoulders.

Eragon's first feeling was a concern for himself but when he felt that his father wasn't trying to harm him he relaxed.

" Eragon, do you see how the ocean bends at the horizon," Vrael said to his son, pointed at the horizon.

" Yes Father, " Eragon said amazed at his sudden the realization.

" Well, then that means that the Earth is round, " said Vrael.

" The Earth is round, " Eragon said. ( A.N., they said that at the same time, just to help any confused people out there.)

Eragon and Vrael both looked at each other and laughed while Umaroth did his stony grumbles so loud that both Eragon and Vrael both felt making them laugh even harder.

Ahhh so this is what being a father means Vrael chuckled I guess I should have done this a long time ago.

Ahh yes, you should have Vrael but you can't so you should treasure these moments while you have them. Umaroth said making more stony grumbles that resemble laughter making Eragon feel that and so he laughed even harder.


*Evandar's POV*

Evandar stood up from the famous Knotted Throne as did his council, and started off his throne towards the wooden door that marks the entrance to the throne room. Evandar opened the door and was surprised to see a massive mass of white flying towards him just above the trees of Du Weldenvarden.

"Umaroth! " He said in awe.

Evandar looked around at his council and was even more surprised to seem them look at Umaroth, elves don't display their emotions as the other races do rather they are more subtle and cunning.

Evandar raised his left hand, signalling that his advisors should stay put and not follow him, and walked royally towards the figures of his good friend, Vrael.

But then he saw Vrael help a little boy down.

Vrael brought his bastard? The King of the Elves thought as he approached Vrael and Umaroth.

King Evandar looked at Vrael and then at Eragon.

The first question he had is " What is he doing here".

"Can we talk in private Evandar," Vrael said moving his eyes to Eragon, signalling he wants to talk about him.

" Of course, " Evandar says leading towards the Meona Tree.

And so they walked and along the way Vrael told everything about his plan to stop the demons and how Eragon needs to stay with him and everything else.

" And so that is the plan." Vrael finished as they both approached the Meona Tree.

" You're just going to negotiate with the demons," Evandar said keenly

" That's the plan Evandar," Vrael said calmly.

"Hmmm" Evandar hummed.

" So can you do it "

" Do what "

" Take care of Eragon until I finish what needs to be done ".

" Of course Vrael, you should know how the elves feel about children especially elven children," Evandar said with confidence, " I just don't know how Islazandi and Arya will deal with it, " Evandar said with worry.

" I'm sure everything will be fine Evandar and besides what's the worst that could happen, " Vrael said with warmth.

" But what if you die " Evandar whispered with unease.

" There's nothing to worry about Evandar " Vrael with much confidence, almost like he was trying to convince himself Evandar noted.

" Then I believe that this is good then, " Evandar said.

Vrael smiled at Evandar then walked back to where Eragon and Umaroth are.


End of Chapter 2 and now unto the Author's note.

And that is the end of this, in my opinion, great chapter and so tune in next month or even in the next two weeks for chapter three cause I have no idea what the heck is going on.

So Eragon has yet to meet with his new elven family and Vrael and Umaroth have negotiations to handle with the demons.

Also, I would appeciate if you would review, it really helps know what to improve upon and things like that.

So toodles : )

Also if you're wondering what the demons look like just imagine people like Maleficent. Not just females but also males.
