Note: I'm glad I put that authors note back in. it was raining all day today so I checked my email and I had a whole whack load of people who put me on there alert thank you for those of you who voted on my polls . I know it was short notice but I think I'll have too closed it soon but I'll keep it open for as long as possible.
Ps: Italics is for thinking and if speaking to someone using there mind
Arya pov.
Oh wow did he say an elf there hadn't been an elf rider besides Glaedr and Oromis in almost a century. This would give the elves more hope to win this war. All these thoughts were swinging in her head a hundred miles a minute.
Oh my she thought that means I'll have my job as a carrier again for the egg I wonder who its going to hatch for there's lots of good choices there's Vanir, Blodhgarm, before she continue to name good rider's she saw everyone looking at her eyes in shock and amazement waiting for me to respond. Then she actually realized what Murtagh had said.
" I'm pretty sure it's going to hatch for Arya". I was never one to jump up and down when someone thinks something even if it was the greatest thing of the world the thought excited me I'm going to be a rider .in stead of responding in amazement like every one thought I would I responded with suspicion to hide my excitement.
"How do you know this" I asked accusingly as possible trying to hide my excitement. "Well" he looked around the room for everyone's attention. "Remember when I was unconscious" he asked cautiously. We all nodded impatiently.
"Well I believe I had a vision and I saw me and Eragon with Sapira and thorn they looked like they were mates, they were care free and were playing with hatchlings that looked no older than 6 months". "There was a white male that had a small boy on it if it wasn't a boy it would defiantly be a dwarf".
I was disappointed if Murtagh thinks that a dwarf is going to get a dragon to hatch for it then I was probably not going to be a rider. Everyone in the room looked at Narheim "what" he asked there's no such thing as a dwarf rider there has never been one you all know that, so say we get rid of this filth and his lies!
To my surprise Eragon stepped forward his face expression less. "if what Murtagh says is true then I know away to see if this was a vision or just a hopeful dream".
Everyone in the room looked at Eragon expectantly as he told us his explanation "well when I was running from the empire I had a vision of Arya and how she was trapped in Gil'ead". He then began to explain that he was able to scry her even though he never actually met her.
"Would it be agree able if we put him to a test if he is able to scry this image than we know he's telling the truth". I say we give Murtagh his magic back". "If what he say's is true then we may find the rider's quicker giving us a better chance to defeat Galabatorix". We need to know if he's telling the truth".
"So let's put it to vote" clearly everyone was shocked because I rarely talk during these meetings and when I do its important "so what say you" I demanded.
" I say aye" I replied fiercely "I say aye also" said king Orrin in a confident voice. "I say aye to" Nasuada voice rang with clear authority.
"I say nay Garzhvog said if we give him his magic back he would destroy us all". "I say nay also" Narheim replied angrily. "I also say nay" Jormundur said quietly everyone looked at him shocked everyone thought he would say aye with Nasuada.
I looked at Nasuada she said nothing but looked at him warily look. Everyone was quite as they looked at Eragon to make the final decision he smiled at me "I say aye also".
I gave him a frown before turning away why must it be me that he loves I thought I try to tell I'm he'll get over me I know he won't. The blood oath it only possess the few people pure of heart there for Eragon must love me truly and honestly, but I cannot have him I tell my self every time I see him. The only way we could be together was if the war ended or if I was to be come a rider and that just might happen I smiled to my self the thought of being a rider and being with Eragon.
I looked over to Murtagh who he let out a sigh of relief. "Eragon walked over to Murtagh I need you to swear that if I give your magic back you will not use it without my permission until I say so otherwise is that clear".
He agreed in the ancient language, and then Eragon pulled away "he is free to use magic he announced". We watched Murtagh cautiously as a guard warily handed him a bowl of water. Eragon put a spell in it so that it doesn't fall out of the bowl and held it up right so that the council could see the bowl drama copa(dream stare).
Murtagh whispered it was silent for a couple seconds nothing happened then Narheim cried he's a liar Murtagh closed his eyes pouring more energy into the spell then there was a slight motion in the water everyone gasped.
It
was the most beautiful sight ever there were six dragons all of them
had there own riders flying around having fun.
There was a thorn
with Murtagh on his back, Sapira with Eragon they were at least2-3
years old.
While the white (male) had a very small person that looked like a dwarf, orange (female) had rider that was extremely huge man so huge that it looked like a urgal, green (male) that had a what looked like a elf lady and yellow (female) dragon had some one who looked human that wore a giant hammer. New dragons were no older than 6months.
They were all beautiful but the green one caught my eyes as I studied the rider I could see its figure and it really did look like me I'm going to be a rider I thought, before passing out unconsoius.
Murtagh's pov.
"Wow", I thought as I struggled to hold the spell this takes more energy then I realized when I felt the urge to pass out I released the spell. As I looked around the room everyone looked at me in shock. "Well does that answer your question Arya" I asked turning to her but to my surprise found that she had passed out.
The council waiting for Arya's response looked over at her to find out what I had just discovered. Eragon rushed over to her in less then 2 second and felt her pulse. She's fine he announced she just passed out from shock. There were a few chuckles well it's not everyday you find out your going to be a dragon rider.
Garzhvog spoke up "did you guy's see that the rider on the orange dragon it looked like was an urgal. Everyone muttered in agreement, until king Orrin spoke up "I saw the man and it was ether an urgal, or some really big man and the rider on the white dragon was either a small boy or a dwarf.
Everyone agreed grudgingly that the riders looked like an urgal and a dwarf. Trying get rid of the tension building up.
"Since we all know that that the green eggs going to hatch for Arya do you want me to tell thorn to bring the egg here"?
"No" said Nasuada "not yet you may have forgotten but we are already preparing for battle". "I looked around the room focusing on Eragon". "What you will have me do"? I asked "what do you mean"? Eragon asked puzzled.
"Well do you want me to fight in this battle or do you want me locked up"? "Well" said Nasuada "I think we should put it to a vote but first we must have Arya awake".
Eragon leaned over to her since he never moved from beside her and muttered something in the ancient language in her ear. Her head sprang up, I'm going to be a rider she said dazed.
"Arya" Nasuada said "we are going to vote if Murtagh should be allowed to fight in the battle we have coming up". "How large is there company again Arya asked with a far off look on her face. Murtagh explained there numbers and how many magic users they have everyone was shocked how did they get so many?
Nasuada asked when I told them of the king's spell Nasuada asked if I knew the spell and I answered "aye" and I think you should try it out on the Varden in my opinion.
Well said Nasuada let's raise your hand if you think Murtagh should be allowed to fight. I surveyed the council and smiled everyone but the dwarf. Well Murtagh Nasuada said it looks like you going to be fighting in the battle Eragon go with him and get him ready and don't forget to tell thorn.
The thought Thorn, made me feel immediately guilty for not contacting him as soon as possible. Thorn Murtagh said where are you were going to be fighting in the battle he felt thorn recoil from me. Immediately wondering what he was trying to hide and broke into thorn's mind trying to find what he was hiding.
"Murtagh get out" he said quickly shoving his rider out of his mind blocking me completely, but I still saw what thorn was doing. "Eragon" I said quietly as they walked to Eragon's chambers to get his sword and armor do you know where Sapira is he looked into the sky and frowned "that's weird he said she should have been here by now where is she"?
I could tell he was looking for her I can't find her he said with panic she's either to far away or she blocked me from her mind. "Eragon" Murtagh said quietly I was looking for thorn and this is what I found. He probed Eragon's mind until he opened it I sent him a mental picture of what I saw.
He pushed me out I knew that she would probable mate with thorn when she got her chance so I'm not that surprised.
But I wish that she would have told me for she did but still this is big news we shall have to have a celebration. For a new age of rider's and I shall lead them along with you Murtagh he said. What? Why would I lead them with you? According to my mentor there will be six elders three humans riders and three elf riders because of the new age you and me will be the first and second elder.
As I thought about it I understood what he was saying I put my arm around Eragon's shoulder. We will make a fine leader I said trying to cheer up my brother.
"Thanks Murtagh" hey what are brother's for I said smiling. Eragon frowned "listen there some thing I have to tell you I'm not your brother", "I'm your step brother my father is Brom".
What I said getting confused he repeated it in the ancient language. Eragon's words stung like a blow to the heart. "well" I said trying to keep my from cracking. "We better hurry up and get the battle armor ready". Eragon hurried his pace for me to follow.
Sapira's pov
"Thorn" I gasped "that was amazing" they were lying down on a little meadow not 30 minuets away from the Varden. "So how much longer" thorn asked I chuckled softly. "It would probably take about the rest of the day to tell if I was gravid".
"I really hope you are" thorn said to me "I want the dragon race to grow and be free under a stable ruler not some mad king". "Aye we'll be very busy we'll have to take care of our hatchling and help defeat the empire". "But thorn what should we do to our eggs that we'll have".
"What do you mean" thorn asked. "Well we can make them rider eggs or wild eggs I would prefer wild eggs because they'll hatch faster and we can train them"." But rider eggs will be more useful to the Varden, what do you want them to be"?
" I think we should have them rider eggs Thorn told me not only will the Varden be happy about that but it will probably take year's to hatch, if we are to fail at defeating the empire then our hatchling would still be able to survive, with the Varden along with our race.
That's a good idea I'm pretty sure Oromis taught Eragon how to make the wild eggs into rider eggs. But it will take a lot of energy, him and both of us together to make 4 eggs, rider eggs so I hope we only have 4 or less that way we don't need any other magician to make them rider eggs.
"What about the hatchling's"?" We're going to have to teach them that it's ok to mate with each other"." Causes if they don't mate with each other than were going to the only mates for a very long time"." Maybe the elves could use a spell that gets rid of there extinct about mating with siblings on them".
"Well Thorn we better go see Eragon and Murtagh and tell them were mates and we mated"." How do you think your rider will react"? Umm Sapira thorn said nervously I think Murtagh already knows"." How"? She asked suspiciously. I think he saw us".
" What do you mean" I asked upset "we didn't get to keep it a surprise well I thought my rider was unconscious but he must have woke up, and looked for me he caught me by surprise and I think he saw us through my eyes".
But I tried to push him out before he could see anything. But I think he still saw thorn said quietly. Sapira moaned loudly why didn't you just block your mind completely. Well I like be aware of my surrounding's thorn said defensively.
Quickly changing the subject we better go help the Varden. So thorn took off leaving me to rant by myself. I didn't really comprehend that thorn was leaving till he let out a loud roar.
"Hey wait for me" I cried chasing after him. I took my barriers away from my mind I immediately felt Eragon's presence Sapira mind and quickly scanned his memories and found out about the trial and how Murtagh told Eragon something before he blocked his memories.
"Where have been?" he asked me "I was looking for you". What have you been doing? I didn't like the way he said it like he already knew what me and thorn was doing.
"Well thorn got away and I had too look for him" I replied as innocently as possible. I tried too taking a quick look at what Murtagh had told him but he blocked that memory and started searching my memories and I quickly blocked them.
"Why are you blocking me" he asked slyly, the way he said it sounded like he knew already. Well because when I was chasing thorn I caught up to him and together we burned and killed a lot of the enemy soldiers, and on the way back me and thorn sort of mated.
I didn't think of it before but now I was extremely guilty I didn't ask him if or tell him sooner. Instead of shock or anger Eragon was happy. "That's great Sapira now the dragon race won't be in extinction any more and even better chances of defeating the king". "Have you decided if your going to make them rider eggs"?
"Now you and thorn stay put until I tell the Varden that thorn and Murtagh are our allies and are not to be attacked". "Ok little one" I told him and blocked my mind again leaving more than enough room to communicate if need be. Wait thorn I told him the Varden doesn't know you're an ally yet they'll shoot you before you get anywhere near Murtagh.
He stopped flying giving me a chance to catch up "well" he demanded "how long will it take Eragon to tell the Varden"? I don't know I'll ask. "You Eragon how long will it take for you to tell the Varden? You and thorn can come in about 5 minute Nasuada telling them now and they looked very pleased to have another rider on their side. I'll tell you when ok I'll tell thorn we have to wait, thorn we have to wait about a sharp pain jabbed my side stopping me in mid sentence. Sapira what's wrong Eragon asked feeling the same pain as Sapira.
I feel the eggs forming there's 4 of them in me there's three dragoness and 1 dragon, Telling Eragon and thorn at the same time. Do you know what their colors are thorn asked excitedly when will they be laid I hope there's a red one he was talking a mile a minute.
I laughed I'm not psychic I only know what will there gender is. I have no idea what there colors are or what there names should be as for when they will be laid it will take about a month. If they become rider eggs the rider's pick there names we have no control over that but we can give suggestions.
Thorn was so excited he did a double back flip in the air the dragon race can be reborn. There are our three dragons and ours were going to be parents of the new era.
"Ok" said Eragon "you too can come I warned the Varden that if they should attack you in any way that they will be executed painfully"." Tell thorn as soon as you guys get close enough that I'll be placing wards around you along with Murtagh".
I relayed the message to thorn we can go and have no fear of being attacked the Varden reacted differently then the council expected they were over joyed to have another rider. As me and thorn flew over towards the Varden we heard the cheers of many thousands crying out in joy.
Thorn's pov
As me and Sapira flew down towards the Varden the cheering had started to die down put when I landed it started up again.
As Murtagh came over to stand beside thorn he magnified his voice with magic what are you doing I asked. Eragon asked me to give them a speech about my life then finishing by showing them the last egg.
Not for long thorn thought keeping the eggs a secret from his rider. Well good luck I encouraged. As Murtagh walked in front of the crowed I felt deep fear flowing across the link I sent over a giant amount of comfort that almost over whelmed him "sorry" I apologized.
As Murtagh told his story thorn felt the crowd's general emotion change from excitement to pity. As Murtagh finished the story someone spoke up "were you able to get the egg" Murtagh was surprised by the question then smiled and walked over towards me and reached into my saddle.
Making sure not to pull out any of the Eldunari's pulled out the emerald egg with white veins running along the edge. The crowed all spoke in hush whispers as Murtagh continued speaking. We also have reason to believe that the egg will hatch within a week for someone very loyal and dedicated to the Varden.
The crowed started to buzz with excitement as Eragon stood up to take the attention away from Murtagh. Now we have only more thing to say "Thorn would you liked to say something to the Varden".
I walked towards Sapira and said to the crowd Sapira is expecting four eggs three girls and one boy. The whole Varden was dumbstruck. I wasn't sure if it was because I said it in there heads or if it was because after the green egg everyone thought that there was going to be a lot more dragons running around.
The crowed starting cheering them self hoarse as I walked backed to Murtagh Nasuada appeared in front of me with her guards close behind "why didn't you tell me that Sapira going to be having eggs as soon as you knew". she said angrily.
Thorn didn't like the way she said that to him like it was her business to know everything that he did even if she was the leader of the Varden. He decided to just ignore her and stepped around her. "I demand answer" she said walking in front of me ok I thought she asked for it.
Opened my mouth and roared as loud as I could, all of Nasuada guards pointed there weapons at me by the looks on there face they looked like they knew I wasn't at fault but there oath's to Nasuada forced them to point there weapons at me. They looked like they would Rather pointed there blades at Nasuada instead of me except the dwarfs who looked like they were going to attack me even if I was just standing here innocently.
"Never think to your self that you are more important than me and that to you have any control me", I will make my own decisions and if I want to tell you something then only then will I tell it. Not because you ordered me to. I roared by now everyone was looking in our direction but I didn't care and I kept walking.
"You shouldn't have done that thorn we're on the Varden's good side but that could change"."I don't care" I said roughly and I took off to the sky, so I could think in peace until the Varden would meet the empire in battle.
ok well I haven't updated in almost 3 weeks and for that I'm sorry I went to my trailer and my laptop doesn't have internet so I couldn't do anything but now I'm back home so I can update once to a couple times a week.
Sorry if it was rushed I wanted to finish it quickly and yes I know I'm putting in a lot of fillers but that will start to change I decided to make it that the eggs will hatch in a month in this story but there will be a twist. Also they eggs hatch a different way than in the inheritance cycle in this story.
