Chapter Four
As the wind blew through his hair and cooled his body, Chris smiled. He'd had a chat with Eragon about the Varden a few hours before and was now feeling very optimistic about meeting them.
As they flew through the cragged gap in between two sides of the mountains, Chris smiled. Soon he'd have a new home and a new life.
It Didn't take them long to find the waterfall hidden in the Beors and Eragon quickly said the password as he dismounted Saphira.
The rocks moved and a few warriors came out, speaking to Eragon before turning to Chris. The lead one spoke. "We honour your presence here Shurtugal and Skulblacka"
"We are honoured to be here" Chris replied. "Our services are yours"
The soldiers nodded as Chris dismounted Ruby and they were led through the waterfall.
Nasuada and Jormundor met them. "We hope your trip was safe" Nasuada said to them.
"It was" Eragon replied. "Lady Nasuada, Jormundor, these are Chris and Ruby" He gestured to them.
"We are pleased to meet you". Chris said speaking for himself and Ruby.
"And we you" Nasuada replied. "We will show you to your rooms so that you can rest. Then feel free to look around Farthen'dur"
"We would appreciate that, thank you" Chris replied.
Jormundor spoke. "Your dragon will be taken to the dragon hold where she will have plenty room where as you will have a room in the main quarters".
"Thank you" Chris replied. Even though he didn't really want to be separated from Ruby, he agreed to their hospitality.
They led him to down a few hallways and to a large wooden door. When opened, it revealed a large room with couches, chairs and a roaring fire among other things.
"Call if you need anything" And they left to show Ruby her new home.
Ruby's mind touched his as she retreated down the hallway. 'Stay safe little one'.
'And you' Chris replied, smiling until she was out of view before frowning. Once again, he felt alone.
Sighing, he sat down on one of the large red chairs and took the dragon book out from his backpack and began reading it.
It was a couple of hours later when he put the book down. He smiled. Now he knew much more about the history of dragons and it had taken his mind away from his family and the loneliness he'd felt before. He sighed as it came back, but quickly smiled again. Maybe he'd go and look around Farthen'dur. Deciding that that was what he was gonna do, Chris exited the chambers.
Chris grinned as he made his way around the city. It was beautiful. Gold towers stood everywhere giving the city a tinted hue and making it look like a royal palace.
People walked around smiling at him, saying hello and words of praise and Chris loved the feeling. The feeling that people actually cared about who he was. That he was now someone.
Chris smiled as he continued to explore. He loved the energy that surrounded him.
He continued to walk until he reached the main part of Farthen'dur where the dragon hold was and began to traverse the stairs on the outside of the tower.
As he got half way up, he decided to take a rest. Sitting on one of the steps, he wiped the sweat off his brow when a cat bounded up to him. It's large eyes looked at him before it bounded off again. Forgetting his idea to see Ruby, he followed the cat to a room inside the tower.
A woman was standing there, her eyes boring into Chris'.
She spoke with a dull but scary tone. "You're future is bleak, they will return into your life when you least expect it. A dire choice for you indeed. In the end, you will lose, one or the other".
Chris frowned. "What do you mean?" But the woman merely turned her back to him and closed the door, leaving Chris confused.
And then he thought. 'They? Demons? A dire choice? Loose one?' His mind went into overdrive.
All thoughts of visiting Ruby left his mind and he immediately raced back to his room, seeking sleep, seeking to rid his thoughts of the woman's strange message.
Blood. Everywhere. A dark shape flew above. A black dragon. Beside it, a red one. He couldn't tell who the riders were. Just knew they were obviously on the same side.
They were stood on a cliff side. They being himself and Ruby, beside them, were Eragon and Saphira.
He and Eragon quickly mounted their dragons and took off, the battle commencing.
Screams echoes throughout, mostly from the floor where men, elves, witches and dwarves all fought together with urgals, demons and other creatures.
Feeling a sharp pain in his side, he gasped, his hand coming away slick with blood. Ruby's voice penetrated his mind, asking his condition. He told her not to worry, that he'd be ok and to continue fighting.
Another voice called out to him. It sounded familiar, but he couldn't tell who it was. Telling him to come back. Come back where?
Flash
A woman's body lay on the ground. Once again, he couldn't tell who it was, but he felt himself crying, shaking her, asking her to wake though he knew she was dead.
Flash
Ruby lay on the ground, blood pooling beneath her. He felt her pain rack through his body and then no more. She stopped breathing and Chris lay over her body, tears pouring down his face.
Chris woke with a start, his gasp resounding throughout the room. Moving his shaking hand up to his forehead, he wiped the sweat away before slowly turning to the clock beside his bed.
1:52am
Chris sighed to himself. That nightmare was going to keep him up. He'd never get to sleep now.
Suddenly, he heard Ruby's tired but worried voice in his head. 'Chris? Are you ok?'
Chris nodded though he knew Ruby wouldn't see it. 'Just a nightmare' His voice wavered. 'Can…I…'
'I'd be insulted if you didn't' Ruby replied, a chuckle in her voice.
Chris smiled. 'Thanks' and he quickly headed over to the dragon hold where Ruby was waiting for him, her wing already open.
They smiled and she wrapped her wings around him in comfort. He snuggled up to the warmth of her stomach and quickly fell into a deep slumber.
When he woke the next morning, he saw that Ruby was up and speaking to Saphira who's head was poked through the cavern, Eragon by her side. Ruby's head turned to look at him as he yawned and she gave him a dragony smile. 'Morning'
'Morning to you too' He replied before saying his greeting to Eragon and Saphira, who repeated the gesture.
"Come on" Eragon said, moving out of the cavern. "There's someone I want you to meet".
Chris nodded and quickly dressed before following him.
They walked down the tower for about 10 minutes before they reached a large oak door. Eragon knocked twice and they heard 'Enter' before he opened the door.
A young brunette woman stood at the window and by her pointed ears, Chris could tell she was an elf.
"Chris, this is Princess Arya. Princess Arya, Chris". Eragon introduced.
"It is an honor" Chris said and started the formal greeting that Saphira had taught him and Ruby on their journey. Ruby mimicked his actions. "Atra du evarinya ono varda"
"Atra esterni ono thelduin" Arya replied and seemed pleased that he knew the greeting. Then she turned serious. "We understand that you are new to our world and are slightly confused as to what is going on, but you need understand that you have an important role here in Alagesia and to do that fully, you need the proper training" Chris nodded and Arya continued. "Normally, we would have you train in Ellesmera, the elven city, but due to the battle with Galbatorix drawing ever closer, we cannot risk being tracked and so you will be training with Eragon here".
Chris nodded and looked toward Ruby, the same question burning in their minds. "When do we begin?" He asked.
"As soon as possible" Arya replied.
Chris grinned.
It didn't take them long to reach the sparring field and they immediately summoned and blocked their bladed before taking their positions.
"Ready?" Eragon asked.
Chris nodded and they began.
As Chris got into the role of a dragon rider, he found himself getting stronger and so he was now able to parry almost all of Eragon's blows and deliver some pretty powerful ones himself.
After an hour they stopped for a break.
"You're getting much better" Eragon praised as they ate a snack.
"Thanks" Chris replied. "I do feel much stronger"
"You will" Eragon said, smiling. "It's part of being a Dragon Rider. Not only are you strengthened, but by having a strong rider, your dragon is strengthened too".
Chris nodded. "It sounds like there is still much I need to know about this world". Eragon nodded in agreement.
'That and much more to see' Ruby said to which Chris heartily agreed.
