Chapter 2

An hour later they walked outside to find Thorn and Murtagh asleep. Thorn's wing was draped like a curtain over Murtagh, and Eragon smiled. Saphira and Firnen lay side by side snoring. Each time one of them snored, a jet of fire shot from their nostrils. The snow on the ground had already melted, and the ground below was scorched black. Blodhgarm came running up to them.

"You are leaving?"

"Back to Alagaesia."Eragon muttered. Blodhgarm calmly walked away. Murtagh stirred.

"Oh. Finally." was all he said as they fastened their saddlebags to the now awake Saphira and Firnen. Soon they were in the sky.

Eragon had never felt as exhilarated. Riding Saphira, all his troubles were gone, swept away by the wind. He whooped with joy. He hadn't been this happy and excited since he had killed Galbatorix. Not even when Arya had agreed to join him in New Vroengard.

Arya's hair was like the trail of a shooting star, blown back by the powerful wind. She was happy.

As the three riders soared overhead, the trees whispered a song of joy. All who listened cried from happiness. Birds burst into song, and men arguing paused to listen.. It was the song of the return. The return of Eragon Shadeslayer and Saphira Bjartskular.

A/N: Don't you hate me for doing such a short chappie? I hate it too. SO... you'd better review or you're gonna get another one or none at all! Hmph!
