Chapter 7

Eragon ran as fast as he could. His dragon, which he had not named yet, was latched on his shoulders. Eragon ran by bushes, trees, and many other obstacles in his path. Evandar had demanded his presence in the palace.( A.N. Eragon doesn't live in the palace, he lives in a treehouse, not Vrael's treehouse but something like that except smaller.)

Why would he need me, especially in the middle of the night Eragon thought, jumping over a particularly large boulder in the meanwhile.

Eragon slid under a large tree root, which was above the ground for some reason, his dragon jumped over and landed back on Eragon's shoulder.

At last, Eragon arrived at his destination. Well, the entrance to his destination.

Eragon looked up at the massive doors that guard the elven palace.

The doors were cracked in many places as well as covered by vines and moss.

Can't royalty only open this door. Eragon thought.

Might as well Eragon thought, approaching the mighty doors and pushed with all his might.
Eragon groaned and moaned and still couldn't open the doors.

" Move," A voice behind Eragon said. Not to his surprise, he saw Arya behind him.

" What are you doing here?" Eragon asked Arya.

" I could ask the same to you,"

" Can you push the door for me, since you're here," Eragon said, moving past the doors.

" Well since you asked sooo nicely," Arya slid to the elven doors, knocked on them, and Eragon watched how they unfurled.

Eragon gave a fake smile to Arya and started running to the palace, barely hearing Arya yell out " Be careful, ". Even though Eragon didn't answer, his dragon answered for him, with a squawk.

Eragon ran to the throne room, which like the doors guarding the palace area, were huge, but unlike the doors, they were not covered in moss and vines and cracks.

Eragon paid too much attention to the details of the palace, that he crashed into the entrance doors, flunging them open, leaving Eragon sliding on his belly, with his dragon just standing on top, much like a sailor would do with their ship.

Eragon stopped, as his head hit the steps to the throne very hard. Eragon got up, with his dragon climbing to his shoulder.

" This is the new king, " A unknown male voice said.

Eragon looked over to the side of the throne, seeing a man with a dragon rider's sword at his belt. Behind a dark blue dragon opened its yellow bright eyes and looked down upon Eragon

Eragon getting up, with his dragon crawling up to his shoulder.

" Who the hell are you? "


Years Ago

Vrael walked down to his counseling chambers. He walked down the hall in his mighty castle on the island of Vroengard. With him, to Vrael's left was his advisor, the legendary Brom.

" Your majesty, you know what this meeting is about, I hope, " Brom said, while looking through some documents in his hands.
" This meeting is very important okay, "

" Huh what, w-what did you say, " Vrael said, snapping out of his daydream. Vrael usually has millions of those daydreams everyday.

" What the hell Vrael, you're supposed to be good at these things, " Brom looked angrily from his papers onto Vrael's nervous eyes. Vrael knew of Brom's anger, it was the worst time ever.

Brom continued complaining, turning from things at the castle onto silly things, such as the ladies. Well, while walking, they both came across some court ladies.
Brom, immediately, stopped complaining and started blushing as they girls came upon them. Vrael looked at Brom then to the ladies, rolling his eyes.

The ladies started fanning their fans, giggling and whispering to each other. Brom raised his hand to his shoulder-level and waved slowly.

Damn hypocrite Vrael thought, then grabbed Brom's back of his shirt and stomped down the hallway, with poor old Brom being dragged all the way to the counseling chambers. At the end of the hallway, Vrael pulled Brom up so that he can stand, there stood two great doors. Engraved on the doors where detailed illustrations of dragons and dragon riders. Every time Vrael comes upon the doors, he still feels amazed by these grand doors.

Brom snapped his fingers in front of Vrael's eyes, as to bring him back to reality from his dreams. " Still with us your majesty, " Brom said sarcastically, chuckling as he went to open the doors. " Lousy perverted, old ass, " Vrael muttered under his breath. When Vrael walked by Brom, who was bowing sarcastically again, he resisted to punch Brom's face.

Vrael sat down at the head of the table, since he was king, and Brom took his place standing on the right side of Vrael. At the table sat multiple dragon rider officials, and lords from Alagaesia as well. I hate these meetings, they're always so petty Vrael thought.
Well, it is always fun to see these humans bicker Umaroth said to Vrael, using their connection.
And where were you all this time my dragon friend
I was out socializing with my fellow dragons
No you weren't, you went out to talk to some of your "lady friends"
No I didn't
Don't lie Umaroth, you know you a bad liar
Don't make me burst in your little meeting and burn you to a crisp, oh and by the way shouldn't you be starting your meeting now

The lords and officials were looking at Vrael, weirdly, with their eyebrows raised staring directly Vrael, while Brom to the right of Vrael was sweating profusely.

" Uhh sorry for the delay, I was uhh having a conversation with Umaroth," Vrael said, with apologetic tone and eyes. " Soo lets start the meeting," He said.

There was a huge boom, heard outside of the counseling chambers, and outside of the castle itself. Followed by war cries, which were certainly heard by every being on Vroengard.

The doors slammed open with a soldier coming in yelling:

" My king the demons have invaded Vroengard, and are marching onto Doru Araeba!"
