As with all fan fic i only own my own characters not eragon, saphira or brom, although i do want Arya. Please?????
"Oh. Hello… is that all… I don't feel like giving you the advantage anymore, oh whatever… how else am I going to have fun?" Sept said, who upon a closer look, appeared to be… rippling? His voice, how to say? Was light and carefree, musically a trill of twisted humour, a viola turned evil? May be the best plausible way to describe it.
Dahuk just stood there… staring at Sept… seemingly lost in thought.
His attire attested to his voice black boots, black leather leggings, a black and red cotton sleeveless shirt with strips of leather binding attached to the shirt, and a type of black armour attached to his arms, unlike traditional armour, this armour was thin, flexible and coated his entire arms.
But most peculiar was the soft pink striping of dyed cotton running down his clothing.
"It would appear as if this is but an image of Sept, maybe he is as powerful as Dahuk says." Saphira said her voice faint and quivering with undeniable anger.
"Well here you are... Get more interesting… Please!!!"
A quick blur of green filled the area, another egg had appeared, this one similar to when Effigas egg had first entered the clearing barely a few weeks past.
"So a rider now… Well here you are... Get more interesting… Please!!! I may actually have to watch out for you." Sept said voice filled with sarcasm. His voice changing to a humour-laced plea "Here have this one as well… I do want some fun."
A patch of air swirled, until a dark hole formed. Nothing could explain it an independent shadow, hovering in midair at waist height, tendrils circling out of a ball in the middle to form a shadow of sorts. A body fell out, the shadow disappearing.
"Arya?" Brom whispered quietly.
"Aye" Dahuk said
"What? You think I am going to allow the tyrant all the fun. Anyways you have what I want you to have… Bye… oh and don't use magic otherwise the tyrant may decide to kill you." Sept or the vision of Sept wavered then vanished.
The sun's nearly set and we have done little travel, at least we no longer have Therinsford in our view. Although we do have two new problems
"Well now we have another egg and Arya… what now?" Brom said his voice thick with emotion.
Yes and now we have more to take on this wild journey of secrets… what is that?
Two dark blots had appeared above the horizon. Saphira lifted her head to the blots, "It's the egg breakers. Well as I said it is hunting season."
"Shall we avenge?"
"With pleasure, But you may want some sort of a weapon."
"The Ra'zac approach… just so you two know."
"Hmm, do you want to kill them your self? Or do you just want them dead and gone?" Dahuk said looking at me.
"Well I would like to kill them but I think they should be dead anyway."
"Okay, Eragon Stay here and tend to Arya... bind her wounds and such, while we tend to these abominations." Brom said, quickly gathering up his pack.
Dahuk also went to the pack he had been carrying... "The same pack that he had never worn?" I thought "What where did he get that?"
"Sept threw it out of that... thing that spat out the egg and Arya, you were too busy watching Arya to see it."
Slightly blushing I looked back over at Brom and Dahuk, Dahuk had pulled two swords out of the pack, both blades were black, one of them was slightly curved at the end while the other was dead straight, both were roughly half a finger thick on the guard and about 3 inches wide.
The hilts had been joined together to form a staff with blades on the end.
He experimented with the blades quickly and de-joined them in the middle of it to allow the two blade to be used as separate swords, both were roughly 2 maybe two2~and~a~half foot long.
Brom had pulled out a wine red blade, straight bladed and by the way he experimented with it, the blade seemed to simply extend from his arm.
"Still using that bloody thing." Brom said loudly turning around to meet Dahuks gaze.
"It has saved my life many times, and many more yet." Dahuk said.
The sound of Brom bellowing a maniac's laugh filled the area, leaving me shocked, Brom was never the sort of man to laugh like that.
"Saphira, just make sure they don't get away. I don't want anymore to die from their hands."
"Little one, Garrow was your uncle and by extension my family as well. They shall rot in this area after we are finished with them. Just tend to the elf."
"Okay"
"Well the sun is nearly set, we may as well take them head on… otherwise they will-"
"Have the advantage of night… yes Brom this not the first time I have tried to kill these things without magic." Dahuk cut in.
Dahuk Jumped onto the hollow in Effigas back, Brom mounted his horse while Saphira flew towards the Ra'zac with night fast approaching. I saw Effiga change from his green coat of scales to a rainbow of gold scales. The sight… my thoughts returned to a year when the traders had come to Carvahall.
A new trader with them, he had brought stones of various origins, and of various colours. Tiger eye, that was the name of the stone that had left me with several sleepless nights when the trader said he was only selling it for an amount that would have bought him Surda in it's self.
I diverted my attention to the elf, grasping for breath on the ground. The egg was wobbling on the ground a few feet away. Cracking away, the elf quickly revived from a state of sleep to an alertness that allowed her to know only immediate surroundings.
"Where," the honey smoothed voice whispered, crackled, yes, broken, yes, hoarse, yes, beautifully elegant, not enough to describe the sweetness of this voice, like earring the most beautiful sound in the land… still not enough to describe it's elegance, just nothing could capture it, the minstrels could not match this voice, nothing seemed to.
"ERAGON" Ibolted right up at the sound of Saphira yelling at me, along with the several emotions and images that flooded through their mental link.
"Right, okay I know it's just…"
"I know little one… it's honestly hard not to. Just try to forget it."
"I will try but I can not promise that I will."
"You are a few miles south of Therinsford." I said fetching the water. "Here drink this you sound as with you need it."
"Th, thank, you." Arya said, as Brom and Dahuk had called her.
I looked towards Saphira and Effiga in the air closing in on the Ra'zac. The elf followed my gaze, seeing the two dragons, she gasped, "wh when d, di, did th, they hat, hatch." Stuttering her words Arya finally managed to get her voice together.
I thought for a second how long it had been, "It would have been roughly a month or two ago, the day after your company was attacked."
"Who are you?" the elf said.
"My name is Eragon Garrowson, Rider of Saphira" pointing towards Saphira " that is what is what is left of my life" I said then pointed towards the egg which was rocking back and forth with tiny cracks through-out the shell and said "And I would say you are now a rider as well…"
She looked over to the dragon which had now managed to break all the shell. It held majestic emerald green scales, probably a little bit longer than Saphira when she had hatched.
"Not that I was conscious long enough for a proper look" I thought looking once more towards Saphira. They had covered the distance and were now fighting the Ra'zac; from the distance I could see that Saphira and Effiga had managed to bring down one of the flying beasts and killed the thing. Both the Ra'zac, were lying dead on the ground.
Dahuk and Brom were standing a distance off from the battle in the sky while the flying mount was larger than the both Effiga and Saphira, it was not as flexible as Saphira and Effiga, making it easier for the two to damage place on the mount would otherwise be unreachable.
The battle was over rather quickly, Saphira and Effiga quickly killing the mount, Dahuk and Effiga had already built a pyre, not yet lit and were putting the Ra'zac on it. Effiga and Saphira, picked up one of the mounts together, moved it towards the wood and then moved the other mount to the same place.
Brom and Dahuk set fire to the pyre and started to walk back, Broms horse had run back to me, Arya was once more unconscious I ran over worried, dropping down near I made sure she was still alive
"Probably the shock, not everyone would expect to have a dragon egg hatch for them." I thought. Thinking back to when Saphira had hatched.
"Well now we have another one this journey 4 riders and 3 dragons, what next… dwarves, hopefully not just yet." I said.
"We will probably encounter them sooner or later, until then worry not. We will be fine… so long as you keep your emotions in check."
"I wouldn't Saphira… well we must make camp now or do they want to continue in the night."
"No we sleep here tonight… I think everyone will want to be hearing Aryas story tomorrow."
as i said when i first started this it could take me months or even years before my next update... reviews please. and a beta reader please.
