Intro (It is two days after the Varden took Dras'Leona. And Saphira is about to get a huge surprise)
Whole Story Disclaimer: I own nothing except the plot which is mine!!!!
I woke up and the first thing I noticed was that Eragon was gone, 'Where are you little one?' I wondered reaching out mentally to try and find him. But when I did I found that he was blocking me, he had never done that before.
I was about to leave to track him down to see what he was doing when, Good morning Saphira, sorry about blocking you like that but I had a good reason come to the shore of Leona Lake and you'll see why.
Okay little one. But you had better have a very good reason for doing that.
I do, just hurry up and you'll see why. I caught the next part of his thought which was 'She had better hurry up because I can't hold this spell forever.' I wondered why he was casting a spell but decided not to distract him anymore and just head to the lake to see what he was up to.
I quickly arrived at the shore of Leona Lake and found Eragon standing alone on the shore with his arms folded across his chest staring up at the sky as if waiting for her. I noticed the telltale silver glow coming from his right palm which meant that he was using magic. What are you up to Eragon? I asked him without preamble. You said that you had a good reason for blocking me when I woke up and I really don't see any reason so you better start explaining.
Without saying a word to me he instead turned and yelled, "Okay she's here everyone!" Then he said a few lines in the Ancient Language.
A large area behind him shimmered and then suddenly instead of empty shoreline I saw several large tables covered with food and gathered around the tables were, Arya, Blodgharm and the rest of the elves, Roran, Katrina, and several others that I had recently met from Carvahall. In unison they all shouted "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAPHIRA!!!!!!"
I was stunned for a minute or two and Eragon stated. So like I said, I had a good reason to block you earlier. I didn't want you to learn about your surprise party before everything was ready.
Why did you all throw this party? I asked
He laughed and answered. It's your birthday Saphira, you hatched a year ago today. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get it right but luckily for me Master Glaydr recovered enough to give me some information about Dragon Birthdays. Even with his help I was still worried that I would mess it up somehow. As he finished he sounded distinctly worried as he looked up at me.
I laughed as I gently nuzzled his shoulder saying you did just fine little one, and just curious but how did you get all of the others involved?
Well you know how the elves feel about Dragons so they were more than happy to help, Roran and Katrina wanted to help because, according to Roran 'We still owed Saphira for helping to rescue Katrina from Helgrind' so they both helped, enlisting several others from Carvahall to help as well. Even with all their help it was still a big job and the hardest part was blocking you from my mind long enough to finish it.
Well thank you Eragon. And with that the two of us headed towards the party.
I know, I know this seems to be rather strange in a story involving the Borg but way too many of the fanfics that I've read start with something bad happening so I decided to be more unique. And as far as I know no one else has done a dragon's birthday before so… Tell me what you think, please Read and Review.
Se onr sverda sitja hvass!
