Chapter 4

" My name is Arya Drottningu, and you whoever you are is idiotic." The voice said.

Drottningu, where have I heard that name before Eragon thought.

Eragon continued thinking while the girl was continued blathering on about how he was so crazy for sprinting for so long.

Ughh, you have to be kidding me Eragon remembered that this girl in front of him is the princess and heir apparent to the elven throne. It was one of the lessons his father made him learn.

" I have to go, Arya, " Eragon said hoping to get out of having a conversation with the princess. Eragon started to get up, but then Arya stood up with him and blocked his path.

" Nope, you are going nowhere until you tell me why you were running for so fast and for so long. " Arya said looking at Eragon straight in the eye.

" It is a personal reason," He said, trying to walk around Arya, but was stopped by her hand on his chest then pushing him back away.

" That is not true, you just scared of what I'll think of it, aren't you," Arya said taunting him.

" Move aside princess, I have no time for you, " Eragon replied taunting Arya back.

" Or what, " Arya said her eyes keening in on Eragon.

" Look over there! " Eragon yelled pointing at a random tree. Arya looked at the tree Eragon was pointing to and Eragon used that moment to run.

Eragon ran, zooming past Arya and the trees. Even though he was tired he used the last of his strength to climb a particularly towering tree.

" Where did you go" Eragon heard Arya yell.

Eragon fought with himself to keep his giggles in and not out loud but he failed and ended up laughing.

Arya turned around and looked at Eragon in victory but then turned into fear and concern. Eragon wondered why her emotions changed so fast but didn't have time for as the branch Eragon had been sitting on had broken and he was falling.

Luckily, Arya had a fast reaction time and using her Elvin agility, Arya had jumped up and caught Eragon and landed on her knees skidding down the grass.

Arya set Eragon down on the luscious grass while Eragon was being very unhappy about this whole debacle.

" Now," Arya said with a smug look on her face, " Tell me everything "

Eragon looked around for a means for an escape and found nothing. Eragon knew that there was nothing to do except tell her the truth and so he did. Doing so with every single detail in mind.

" My name is Eragon. I am the bastard son of King Vrael, King of the Dragons, and I am the Dragon Prince." Eragon said.

Needless to say, Arya was stunned.


*Arya's POV*

Arya was in shock. Not only did Eragon tell her his story but also his thoughts during the whole process. Like how he felt abandoned when his father told that he would be leaving and how he felt joy for the first time in a long time on the flight here. And Arya learned that this boy is no ordinary boy. He is the true legendary Dragon Prince. She had been taught the history of the dragons by her private tutors and how Eragon is a bastard and all that but she never expected him to be looking like this.

She thought the Eragon would looking like royalty wearing expensive tunics and such. Not looking like some common boy she might find in human cities.

But when she was told that Eragon here was the Dragon Prince, it all made sense. Why she hadn't seen him before and such.

Arya had made up her mind.

" We have to go back to your father Eragon. " Arya said with determination. She knew Eragon would oppose this.

" What, why," Eragon said in confusion.

" It will explain itself when we get there," Arya getting up and walking towards her home, otherwise known as the palace.

" I will not go to that man no longer. " Eragon exclaimed, pouting while doing so.

" Fine, I will bring you to him. " So Arya walked to Eragon's back and grabbed the end of his shirt and started pulling him to the palace.

" HEY, Stop that, stop, what are you doing, hey what- " Eragon started to yell to Arya.


Arya pulled Eragon to his father, through the trees and bushes and towards the white pearl dragon she saw near the palace. As she strode closer to Umaroth she noticed King Vrael sitting with his back to his dragon's scaly back.


Its been over two hours since Eragon had run away from him. Vrael had been feeling so worried about his only son.

Vrael look over there Umaroth said to his mind. Vrael looked to where Umaroth was pointing to and saw two kids. One was walking, looking very determined, and the other one being dragged by the first one.

What, man kids are weird aren't they. Vrael said to Umaroth

Vrael, sometimes I can't stand you, that's Eragon and Evandar's daughter, Arya. Umaroth said exasperated.

Huh... wait what Vrael said getting up and running towards Eragon.

"What is happening here," Vrael said as he went up to Arya and Eragon.

Arya knowing what to do explained the entire situation to Vrael.

" And that's how we got here." Pointing a finger at Eragon who would not look at his father.

"Well that's quite the story isn't Umaroth "

It is indeed Vrael

" Well I just came to drop this idiot off, my father is expecting back at sundown," Arya said skipping off towards the throne entrance.

" She seems nice, doesn't she Eragon," Vrael said nudging Eragon with his elbow.

Eragon looked at his father calmingly but inside he was cringing as if he tastest a lemon. He remembered tasting his first one as a small child and how it tasted so bitter. But then he snapped back to reality as his father was finishing his long rant about the Demon Queen.

" Well anyways I will have to drop you off at the palace and then I will be off." Vrael reminded him.

For some reason, Eragon didn't feel so abandoned when Vrael said he was leaving this time maybe because of the girl Arya, Vrael noticed.

" We have to meet with the queen of the elves too, as well get you ready for your life here, " Vrael explained to Eragon who seemed to not listen to whatever Vrael said.

"Let us get going, " Vrael started walking towards the throne entrance with Eragon walking with him.

Eragon and Vrael arrived at the entrance. Vrael opened the door, even though only royalty could open it.

Vrael opened the door for Eragon walked through the door and walked in after him, Umaroth coming inside with them also. In the throne room, he could see Evandar on the Knotted Throne, Arya sitting on his lap and a woman at his side that Vrael identified as Queen Islanzadi, looking at Eragon and Vrael with what Vrael noticed as anger.

Why would Islanzadi be mad at us Umaroth

She will have her reasons Vrael be patient

Fine Vrael said to Umaroth ending the mental link, leaving that little sliver of connection that always remained.

So Vrael and Eragon approached the throne and stopped a couple of feet away, not bowing down or kneeling.

" You must kneel before the king! " Islanzadi blurted out.

" Calm down, they are friends of the crown," Evandar said to his wife looking at her.

" Yes mother, but beware of the boy, he is mischievous, " Arya said looking down on Eragon from her father's lap.

Eragon looked confused as Arya finished that.

What did you do to her Eragon Vrael said in Eragon's head

I did absolutely nothing, Father, okay because this girl is being crazy

Vrael just sighed and let Evandar do the talking.

But as Evandar was about to continue talking but then the doors blasted open with the elven council rampaging through (Now I know what you are thinking, but isn't the elves so impassive, but this is an important event okay guys, so they deserve to put their emotions out, thank you very much,)

All the elves yelling and shouting " Your majesty, your majesty," also " Why is this demon child here" and some of them greeting Vrael as well.

" SILENCE!" Evandar shouted from his throne.

The elves became silent with their king's command.

" The reason the boy is here is no one's business but my own and King Vrael," Evandar said to the elves.

One elf walked out from the assembly saying " The demon boy should go to choose his side if he is going to be staying with us." The elf said pointing at Eragon while doing so.

" Do not include the boy in your politics Lord Fiolr, he will not understand," Evandar said to Lord Fiolr.

Lord Fiolr scowled before stepping back into the crowd.

" The boy will stay with me," Evandar said " Do not try to persuade to do anything else, now leave,"

There were protests against this but with the look, Evandar was giving them.

The elves shuffled into the exit and left leaving alone the original people there.

" Well I should get going, it is indeed a long flight there," Vrael exclaimed

Evandar and his family said their goodbyes, and Vrael looked at Eragon and gave him a hug and Eragon hugged back with his mind and soul.

Then Vrael left for the meeting he had, leaving behind Eragon with the elves, who he did not trust one bit.
