Chapter 3

After showing the boy and his dragon around and introducing him to the everyone and talking about how to care for his new partner-of-heart-and-mind, as Saphira called him; he introduced the two to their room. It was a large room but would only fit his dragon comfortably for the next year so was really only temporary. Yet it would do for now.

Once he had made sure James was settled in, Eragon retreated to his office. As he walked in Eragon noticed both Nasuada and Arya there and was at a loss for words on how they got there. That was until he realised that both were encased in mirrors. It seems they had been waiting for him because both were staring. "How long have you two been waiting?" he asked.

"Only about an hour and a half Eragon, and I'm losing my patience!". Her voice started out calm but was quiclky laced with anger.

Taken aback Eragon was surprised by her anger and asked her what was wrong.

Sighing she said "nothing is wrong Eragon, instead something amazing happened. The egg hatched for a girl of 15 years in Therinsford, Lily was her name. I apologise it's just that I was bursting at the seams with excitement to inform you." she finished with a loose smile.

"Thats amazing, first an egg hatched for James and now this girl Lily. All we need now is for the egg with the elves to hatch." Eragon said.

It was then that Arya piped up, "well it seems we don't need it, for it has already occured. A boy in Osilon by the name of Celdin, he is 18."

Gripped by surprise Eragon got lost in thought. Could the boy have triggered something. It's highly unlikely that two eggs would hatch the same day, let alone three in two. It just made him so much more curious to find out why the boy had showed up.

Breaking his train of thought Nasuada called his name "are you with us? We need you to be paying attention."

"Yes of course, what is it" Eragon replied.

"How are we supposed to get Lily to Elesmeera without any danger befalling her or her dragon?" Nasuada asked.

"Roran could travel with a guard to protect her to Ceunon, from there I can arrange for elves to meet her there and lead her here." Arya replied.

The continued like this for some time, discussing matters invovling the two new riders and some that don't. In the end they had decided that the best course of action was for the Arya to travel with the riders to Mount Argnor once they were old enough to hunt and protect themselves. It was the best course of action because they wanted all the riders to be together and they thought it good for Arya to meet the mysterious boy. It would be about six months before they arrived but Eragon was overjoyed at that moment.

He had six months before he could see her again, before he could see the most beautiful woman he's ever known. Also because now that the new dragons had hatched, once again he knew for certain that every now and again he could look up and see glittering scales gracing the sky and sparkling and letting the whole world know that they're there. It would once again become a world of dragons. A new age of dragon riders. And he, once a measly farm boy, now Eragon Shadeslayer, would father it all.

Hey guys thanks for reading so far this is my first fanfic so tell me what you think. If you've got any story ideas you think would fit into the story just PM and hey, if I like it and it's cool it could be added in. I know my chapters are kinda short but I haven't got a clear outline for how this is gonna go. Once I've got that sorted I promise I'll deliver longer chapters but for now, laters.
