Chapter 1
Eragon Kingkiller sat around the sapphire blue campfire with his&nb sp;head lowered. He gave a sigh and star ed into the flames
produced by his ;dragon Saphira, whom was currently curled up ;around him, her bulk encircling almost the w hole camp. She had
grown immense in the last three years, and she would continue ;to grow for the remainder of her life.& nbsp;Around him, Eragon
observed the survivi ng members of the team that set out ;to accompany him and Saphira three years ago, leaving behind the
familiarity of t he Du Weldenvarden forest in Alagaesia, shortly&nb sp;after Eragon had killed the previous king& nbsp;Galbatorix, a Dragon
Rider who had ;brought nothing but evil and tyranny to ;the once prosperous country. But, the differences between Eragon, whom
was also a Dragon Rider, and the now-dead king were immense.&nb sp;Galbatorix had been human and had become&n bsp;mentally deranged
and cruel after the de ath of his first dragon, his only true&n bsp;pairing. Eragon was a hybrid of human and ;elf, and he was still sane,
kind and&nb sp;compassionate while his Saphira still lived. He expected to become much like his father , Brom, if he were to lose
Saphira , but he knew he'd never be anything&nbs p;like Galbatorix.
And now, three years after Galbatorix's death, only a third of the twelve elves that had accompanied Eragon and Saphira outside
of Alagaesia survived. Life& nbsp;out here had been hard, the group h aving no knowledge or experience about what&n bsp;lay outside of
Alagaesia, and new s urprises often took an elf's life before the rest of the band could figure out how to stop it. When Eragon
looked around,&nb sp;he saw only how downtrodden the group ;had become. Even Saphira, whom was often the source of wisdom and
guidance Eragon&nb sp;went to, didn't know what to do anymo re.
Saphira, we can't stay like this much longer. The stress will kill the&n bsp;rest of the elves, if some unknown creatu re doesn't do it first.
Eragon kicke d a stone into the fire as he spoke ;to his dragon through their mental link ;that only Riders and their dragons could
share.
I agree, little one.
As always, Eragon was comforted by Saphira's voice. His bond with her was so strong that he coul d not sleep and wanted to curl
int o a ball of loneliness if they were ;parted by a distance great enough for t heir link to break. This had happened a& nbsp;few times in
their history, but thankful ly not since they had left Alagaesia. There is one place that is already&nbs p;well-suited for dragons and Riders. Alagaesia. I know that we dismissed all of the possibilities
within Alagaesia because of bl oodshed that occurred there, but they are&nbs p;preferable to us raising the new Riders out ;here where
we could lose a student&nbs p;every day. I'd rather the young Riders and& nbsp;dragons are safe in Alagaesia, even if t he stronghold is
someplace where lives were lost. Saphira continued.
Then let ;us begin the return journey in the morn ing. We have had nothing but failure out here. We must return.
