CH 3. The rise
AN: (So how have you all been? Never mind that NEW CHAPTER. I put a bit more effort into this one and I'm currently working on the next chapter for paper towns, Sorry about that anyway back to the world)
(P.S I don't own Eragon in any way if I did the movie would be much better)
My mind slowly faded as I passed for an eternity underneath the blanket of the forest. I heard a distant echo of thunder a sure signal that this world was alive with wonders. Suddenly I felt a strange nibble at my mind and then an undetermined attack on my memories I tried to reconcile but soon I was surprised to find this entity wondering my mind with wonder as it saw my birth, my first words and steps. My constant education with unending certainty, coming finally to my friendships I tried with all my might to block the memories so they would remain safe, but try as I might my constant attempt to interfere just made it worse so I gave in and fell back to within my safe haven of dreams. It seemed an eternity before the entity wondered from my mind and as I returned I slipped back into consciousness.
The light had faded from light into the shadows. I gazed upwards and saw an endless stream of stars that continued beyond this forest, all-stars that I never saw in my life. As I stirred I found my hands and feet bound I constrained against them and started to move about when a voice spoke.
"You shall remain still if you value your life !" The voice spoke with an authority that brought silence within me and had bought quite throughout the entire group. Only then did I notice most of my wardens were singing in a low tone that seemed to be bringing peace to the surroundings. An idea then struck me maybe if I try to sing a tune that could see familiar I might bring them in for more conversation.
"Twinkle, twinkle little star…" As I started my tune my captors looked astounded as I sung a seemingly familiar song to them. A sword was drawn and then held to my throat as the entire group stopped. "You defy us with a song that you could not comprehend, If you value your tongue do not speak those tunes again." I looked into his eyes ready to die but I hesitated and closed my mouth.
We entered into a strange part of the forest that seemed to grow higher than the rest by quite some height. Strange stairs seemed to guide us into the canopy. A sudden stranger approached the group as it ground to a sudden halt the stretcher was put down that was I realized how many of my captors there were. 30 men and women who seemed armed to fight an army of any size, their heavy armour, the glimmering swords and the shining swords seemed to emphasize this even more. What surprised me is that they moved with elegance as though the armour were nothing more than mere cloth. The stranger came forward to me and lifted my hands studying them with intent and lowered them again before nodding. Surprise swept through the group as he did this and the leader seemed to argue with the stranger before he held up his hand and spoke a sentence.
"Älfr atra celöbra du Dröttning."
The language sent a shiver through my spine as though a truth was being spoken between the two pointed ear men. Wait, I looked again and noticed it still there. Elves, in which strange realm am I? My thoughts started to wonder again before we entered a city were curious heads kept their eyes on me. Breathless, I gazed what seemed to be a city that the trees themselves had built. Many of them were just dancing and singing with the occasional stare at my way that would darken my breath.
We approached a large tree as the entire group slowed down and seemed to slowly march to a halt before the doors. The doors opened and two guards walked out in what seemed to be royal armour, behind them stood a woman with authority she approached and spoke. "Greetings lost one."
