Reborn, Chapter VI
First Flight
It had been several days since Eragon had become a full dragon. Now he had grown to a size where Saphira couldn't carry him and she was forced to land just a day's flight away from Surda's borders.
Little one, it isn't that hard. Just flap your wings! Eragon was now growing annoyed at Saphira continued pressure for him to fly.
I'm trying to, but I've never used these muscles!
Letting out a low growl that could be interpreted as a sigh, Saphira walked over to Eragon's side and bit down gently on Eragon's muscle, causing him to flinch. I am just as gentle as ever, Eragon. Would I ever hurt you?
At first, Eragon gave no response. He was too intrigued with the black, scaly wing that he was now able to move. Well, you have pinned me down on several occasions. My back did hurt after those incidents.
I mean apart from the times when you deserved it.
How did I- Eragon was never able to finish his sentence as Saphira gave him a sharp nudging, sending a clear warning that she wanted him to get back on track.
With one great flap of his wings, Eragon's body lurched into the air and caused him to let out a small roar of surprise. For some reason he couldn't land. It was if his instincts had taken over. Saphira, I'm doing it!
Very good. Now, let's see how long you can fly until we are forced to land.
Taking this as a challenge, Eragon quickly sped up and soon was matching Saphira for speed. I remember it took you a month to learn-
Shut it or I'll knock you to the ground. Saphira growled, giving Eragon a slightly aggravated look. Besides, it was only two weeks.
Eragon seemed to grow as he flew. By the time they reached King Orrin's castle, he was the size of Saphira, if not a bit larger.
Little one, you've grown so much. Saphira said, looking his body over with admiration in her face. You are a very handsome dragon. Eragon could feel his scales turn into a bright red color and he nearly lost his balance. Saphira seemed to feel his emotions and began chuckling. If you are to be my mate, I would strongly suggest that you get used to my affections.
Let me get used to being a dragon first, Saphira. Besides, mating isn't a topic that I really feel like discussing. Eragon said, rather nervously. What do you think Nasuada will say when she sees me?
Well, she had better be happy. You will help us greatly in the war.
What if they shoot at me?
Then roast the arrows before they reach you. I can smell that you are mature enough to breathe fire.
The two dragons flew for the rest of the trip in silence. After only a few minutes, they were above King Orrin's castle. Eragon chuckled to himself as he saw the people below scattering. He then noticed that Saphira was sniggering. Do you always get joy in terrorizing people?
No, but it can be amusing at times.
That being said, the couple landed just in front of Nasuada's throne room where they were met by swordsmen and archers. All of them were pointed directly at Eragon. He was sure that they were about to shoot but were halted when Nasuada along with Orik and Arya appeared from the throne room.
"Well, well, it seems someone has found a mate." Arya said, giving Saphira a harsh look."
Eragon, don't reveal your name. I want to see how long we can keep them guessing. Saphira said in a playful tone.
Why?
It will be fun!
What if they ask for my name?
Tell them your name is…Shruikan.
Eragon stared at her. What? Why him?
You have the same color scales.
"What is your name, dragon?" Nasuada demanded, not taking her eyes off him.
My name is…Shruikan. Eragon replied with a tone of annoyance in his voice.
At these words, Nasuada ordered the men to raise their weapons again. Saphira roared very loudly at this threat and slammed her tail on the ground.
You will not harm my mate in any way!
"Saphira, you know perfectly well that this isn't Shruikan. Are you, Eragon?" Arya asked in a wise tone.
Both dragons were dumbstruck. Saphira, why did you get me into this?
She wasn't supposed to find out!
"You two, into the chamber, now!" Nasuada yelled.
