Here is the new third chapter. I hope you enjoy the story.
Saphira landed out side the small house. They all looked around to see if there was anyone around. Eragon jumped off Saphira with his sword drawn. He turned to Saphira and with a look let her know he wanted her to wait here.
He turned to Arya "Stay here. I am going to search the house and cave."
He saw that Arya didn't like it and wanted to come with him to search. He thought back to what she used to say 'I am not some weak human female.'
"Arya I know you want to go but your Dragon needs you right now. He is to small to take care of him self."
"Very well but be careful, your death would be a great lose."
"I have a chance to redo everything so that hopefully we do not lose the people we lost last time and have a better chance of winning. I have not survived 2 years of war to get killed here were we are suppose to be safe."
He turned around and headed for the cave first. He figured it would be better to see if it was as open as it looked from the outside. When he approched the entrance he could tell it was an open and spacious cave. Walking a little farther in he could make out some doors along the side of the cave. He could also just make out a tunnel that looked like it was used to connect the cave and house.
Not seeing anything or anyone in the cave he backed out and headed for the house. When he approached it he looked in the large bay window in the front. Looking in it looked like it was a living room. He did not see anyone from the window. He approached the door and checked to see if it would open. When he went to open it he found it unlocked.
Eragon cautiously entered the house. He reached out with his mind and could not sense any one in the house. When he walked in he seen a sitting room to the left with a couch and a couple chairs. There also was a large fireplace in the corner. To the front was a stair case leading to a second floor. There was a door leading to a hallway by the look of it. To the right was a table and chairs. There also looked like a kitchen area.
Eragon walked towards the table when he notice a scroll on the table. Eragon picked up when he seen his name written on the outside. He opened and started to read. Once he read it he relaxed. He headed back outside and called Arya.
"Arya, you can come in. Saphira if you head in the cave I will come unsaddle you in a few minutes."
He walked back and sat in one of the kitchen table chairs. Arya walked in with her dragon behind her. He handed her the scroll for her to read.
Rider Eragon,
This house is for you and the other riders. We would recommend all of you move back to Vroengarg. Galbatorix would never look there, believing that the island is poisoned. Be assured that the poison on the island has been cleansed.
The house has 4 bedrooms to house the 4 free riders. There is a large library on the first floor in the back of the house. There is also a scrying room next to the library.
In the tunnel leading from the house to the cave are some store rooms, including one for food. When It gets low it will be filled again. In one of the storage rooms are some gems and gold nugget you can use to trade for things on the mainland.
We put our faith in you and the other riders. Bring peace to the land once more and help the dragons thrive again.
Arial
"So is Arial the one involved in you being sent back?"
"She was one of them. What do you think. If the island is clean and safe. Should we stay here while you train or return to Ellesmera?"
"I believe if we have the resource of the library and the Eldunari it might be in our best interest. Though it might not hurt to contact Oromis and get his opinion."
"I can get Brom and bring him back here to help you with your training while I travel to inside Du Weidenvarden so that I can scry him."
"Would it not be better if I or Brom contacted him?"
"If I go for Brom I could be back in little over a day, if I go to Du Weidenvarden I will be gone a lot longer and if I have to pick up Brom and take him also that will only extend the trip. I would prefer that you and the hatchling stay here. For now it is the safest place for you since no one knows of you yet."
Arya thought about what he was saying. She thought it might be better for them to travel together but she understood why he wanted he to stay. The less individuals that seen the hatchling the better. If she arrived at Ellesmera with a dragon word would spread fast. They would also be obligated to inform the Varden.
"I will wait here for you to return with Brom. Will you enter the Vault of Souls and retrieve any Eldunari?"
"It might be a good idea. They can help protect you and the hatching and also help with your instruction. I might take a few with me to speed up my travels."
"When will you leave?"
"Tomorrow, Saphira needs to rest and hunt. After we get set up here I will go to the vault and retrieve the Eldunari."
E/A
Eragon, Arya and the dragons walked down the tunnel to where the Eldunari were. Arya was surprised the tunnel was so long. When they got to the archway that was the entrance to the caver the Eldunari and eggs are kept Eragon stopped and said a few words in the Ancient Language.
Arya looked at him strangely. "If I had not deactivated part of the protection we would make us forget about all of this when we left. Before we leave to return to the mainland of Alagesia I will put the protection back and we will all have to come down here so we forget till Galbatorix is dead."
They both entered the cavern and Arya looked around in wonder. Remembering what Eragon said about Cuaroc and the other Eldunari searching her mind she lowered her shields.
Cuaroc stood and walked towards the 2 riders and dragons. Arya, Eragon and Saphira felt the pressure of all those powerfull minds searching their minds. When the preasure ended they heard a single voice speak out.
"I am Umaroth." said a deep voice.
A surprised Arya called out "Vereal's dragon."
"Yes, I was Vereal's dragon till he passed in to the void. Rider Eragon, I see this is not your first trip to the vault."
"No, I came here shortly before being sent back. The Grey Folk saw that we were going to lose and sent be back so that I could better the odds against Galbatorix. I had two missions to begin with. Rescue Arya from the Shade Durza and hopefully free the Urgals by killing Durza. The second was the rescue of the emerald egg so that it might hatch for Arya. This would give us two healthy dragons and riders. I was also given a spell to help Oromis but I will need your help to do that because I don't have enough power to complete the spell."
"We will be honored to help Lord Rider, for that is who you are. With the 4 of you and Oromis and Glaedr we will have a better chance. I also since 12 other dragons with their minds sealed off."
"We rescued 12 Eldunari from Galbatorix when we rescued the egg."
"You did us a great service in this act Lord Rider. I see from your memories that you plan on bringing Oromis and Brom here and that Arya will under go here training here on Vroengarg."
"Yes there is much to learn even by me and this is the safest place since no one would think about looking here. We want to keep Saphira and the hatchling a secret for as long as possible. Between the Eldunari, Orois, Gleadr and Brom we should hopefully have the knowledge to win and free Alagaesia."
"We have 136 Eldunari here with the 12 you bring us and if Saphira and Gleadr leave theirs here also that would bring our numbers up to 150. Even after you leave to fight the Empire with Saphira's Eldunari here those still here will be able to help without leaving the safty of the vault. Though some us will travel with you. For now I and a few others will go with you today to help with your education. I will also travel with you eragon when you go to meet Oromis and Glaedr."
Eragon gave Cuaroc the 12 Eldunari they rescued and Cuaroc gave Eragon 6 that would help with their training. 2 would go with Eragon when he left to get Brom and Oromis. Saphira also left her Eldunari in the vault.
E/A
When they got back to the house the put the 6 Eldunari in the library where most of the lessons would take place. It was late so Eragon and Arya worked together to fix dinner. While they ate in silence Arya wondered what their friendship was like. Eragon has shown that he understood her better then anyone has ever before including Faolin. She also notice he manage to head off a couple disagreements before they happen by explaining things before she got a chance to say anything.
Because Eragon was Lord Rider Arya insisted he take the Master bedroom and Arya took the one across the hall. After they turned in Eragon reached out to Saphira.
"Saphira."
"Yes Eragon."
"I want to head out just before sun rise. I want to try to get back by tonight. I figured the best way would be to put Brom to sleep before he even knows we are there. That way we don't have to waste time explaining. I can ward his home to keep others out."
"It would be faster but how do you think Brom would react to waking up some place different."
"Yea the look on his face would make it worth it. Night Saphira."
E/A
Saphira was coming up on Carvahall around mid day. She flew low to the tree tops so that she would not be seen. When they got near it village Saphira landed and Eragon ended on foot after he changed his features to hide he was an elf or Eragon.
Eragon watched Brom head towards his house shortly after he arrived. He took off around the village and arrived at Brom's house and snuck in. Bron showed up 10 minutes later lost in thought he didn't see Eragon in the corner.
"Slytha"
Brom collapsed on the floor. While he slept Eragon went threw Brom's home collecting the things he knew he would take and a few things he might need. It took him a little over an hour.
Saphira snuck around to the closes he could get to Eragon without being seen. Around two hours after he put Brom to sleep Eragon finally met up with Saphira. Eragon tied Brom to Saphira's saddle and the pair walked threw the woods to get farther away from Carvahall to take off.
They arrived back at their house on Vroengarg late in to the night. Saphira headed in the cave so Eragon could unpack her saddle and remove it so she could get some sleep. They were suppose to head back out as soon as possible.
After Eragon got everything put up were it went he picked up Brom and headed in to the house so he could put Brom in his room. He was quiet as to not wake Arya. He got Brom put to bed and made it so that Brom would wake up in around 6 hours. When he collected his stuff and put it in his room Eragon went to his own and went to sleep.
A/E
Eragon got up a few hours later to find Arya in the kitchen with her dragon she finally name Fernin. When he walked in looking tired she told him to just sit and she would bring him something to eat.
"Did it go OK?"
"Yes he is upstairs asleep. I checked up on him before coming down. As soon as Saphira gets up and eats we will be heading out again. We need to leave as soon as possible so we can get back sooner."
They both heard a nioce from up stairs. Eragon knew the fun would begin. They both were getting up with Arya ending up behind Eragon when Brom came from around the corner with his sword drawn.
An angerly yelled "Where am I and who are you."
So they discovered the house was for them. They visited the Vault of Sols and Brom is on the Island. How will Brom handle his kidnapping and Eragon.
