Saphira gazed out of their cave, joy filling her. She felt the eggs forming in her, and she was happy.

Riohni lumbered next to her, and they nuzzled, wings over-lapping each other.

They knew that this cave would be the foundation of their race.

Riohni spoke, lovingly. "We need to feed you, my love."

Saphira spoke just as lovingly "Oh, my dalliant one? And what of you?"

"First you."

They nuzzled again, more lovingly than the last. Riohni still couldn't bear the grief in his hearts, but Saphira helped him lift it off his shoulders, as he did to her.

Riohni spoke yet again, adoringly. "You'll need food for our hatchlings. How about a big, juicy gazelle...."

Saphira nudged him playfully "Stop, you're making me hunger all the more."

"Then I will see what I can do about that, my ignasia one"

"Then go, my mighty hunter."

Riohni stepped away from her, and onto the open peninsula. The clouds covered the landscape.

Riohni spread his wings, and leapt from his perch.

He sky-rocketed down, disappearing beneath the fluffy puffs that are called clouds.

Saphira felt the eggs already beginning to takes shape. She went into the cave, and fell asleep.

Riohni flew about, and spotted a herd of gazelles.

He swooped down, and killed many in that swoop. The rest scattered.

He picked up 5 and flew away with them. He noticed a gleam to his right, and he looked.

He could barely see the tower.

Riohni's grief attacked him again, and blood rage against Galbatorix rose up again.

But he pushed it down, reminding himself that he has a mate with eggs in her. She needs food.

So he flew to his cave.

Captain Jard looked around in the wreckage.

If Galbatorix knew what occured, and he probably did, then Jard could already feel his head being cut off. It was an uneasy feeling.

Captain Jard stared at the tower door, which was made of topaz and sapphire.

He looked around at the survivors. Many were magicians, who woke up just in time to witness the scene and protect themselves from falling ceilings.

"ATTENTION!" All who heard Jard's roar paused and stood straight.

"We are going up that tower! I want to see what's in it!"

Every one groaned. Captain Jard almost did ,too. "I want to see why those dragons made it! NOW GET A MOVE ON!"

So they went in the tower.

And when they entered, reality flashed.

This tower had more magic than anyone knew.
