Dream to become Legend
If you'd rather start with the actual story straight away, skip to chapter 1!

Prologue
What would you do? If you had the chance to go to Alagaësia.
If you had the chance to let things go differently. Would you try to meddle to the point it was beyond recognition? Or would you just come along for the ride?
Could you? Would you, risk your life?
For a stranger, for a world you do not belong in? Where you are a nobody and untrustworthy, even unworthy of any special gifts or treatment and all you are, is just a liability?
Would you really risk everything?
My answer is:
Yes, I would.
Yes, I could risk my life for a total stranger, for a world, I am not from. I would make myself worthy of being in the story. I would aim for just a few changes, save some lives if I can, help Eragon defeat Galbatorix, or die trying. I know that might sound presumptuous, or that I might underestimate the depth of resolve necessary to fight in a real war. I'm not at all trying to diminish the sacrifice of people who really did die in a war that they shouldn't have even have had to fight in the fist place, had no choice, or would rather lived. But the truth is;
I'd rather die than sacrifice my own pride.
I don't really have anything to my name, I am not kind and selfless, I always thought you should give what you get. Not out of kindness, but because I don't want to be indebted to someone or depended on them. I live on my own, not relying on anyone but myself. I do not expect people to give me things, without wanting anything in return. I do not believe in people. And frankly I am not a very social person, who would give up their life for someone else out of kindness, but rather because I think it's not really worth all that much.
But the only thing that makes me 'me' is my pride. I think I know myself enough to say I really would die before I'd give up my pride.
My pride is to be free.
Because to me, the experience, the very ride itself would be worth it. Because of the books, I know how fundamentally good Eragon is. If I met him in person, he would not be a stranger. I would gladly lay down my life, if it meant his has slightly more happiness in it.
And, if fighting for what you believe in isn't the top of freedom, I don't know what is.
Can you remain yourself, even in the face of adversary?
It is a question nobody can answer until it reveals itself. Nobody can truly know, until it stares them in the face, because change is part of life.
Warnings: This story will first follow my OC, then mostly the original books storyline but from the OC's point of view.
Her thoughts might be a bit awkward and have some mature content at times. That's why the rating is, as it is. This OC is loosely based on myself and my own most probable actions. I am little afraid that this might make my OC become a bit Mary Sue in some perspectives. I am a bit of a perfectionist after all. But I am also in no way perfect and so neither is she. Hence, I will try to portray that to the best of my abilities. I would also greatly appreciate any opinion's regarding this.
Other warnings may include: Cursing, gore, character death's, mentions of rape (non-explicit) and mature content later on.
Pairings: Nothing is set in stone yet, but NO EragonXOC, that is out of the question, because I like the AryaXEragon pairing (though I will not force it), same with RoranXKatrina. As for Murtagh I haven't ruled it out, but it's unlikely. I might throw in some new pairings though. As for lemon scenes, I'm not sure if there will be any yet, but if there will be. I will give a warning about that at the start of the chapters. And the story rating will go up when I do.
My OC will not get a dragon egg!
I got tired of the usual; Somehow there is a fourth egg that was nowhere in the book. Or that they get the egg instead of Eragon.
So, I will try to stick to the facts in the book, but let me know if I made a mistake. Of course there will be differences or unmentioned content but that's why it's fan-fiction. I will however try to make it as believable as I can, for as far as that goes for a story with magic and dragons.
I hope the story will be as enjoyable as reading the original series for a second time, just this time with some funny commentary :P
Exactly how will I/OC affect my new surroundings? Well that, you'll have to read for yourself in the actual story.
So let the story begin!
Disclaimer: I just own myself, my version of the plot and possible other OC's. The rest belongs to Paolini.
Reviews are greatly appreciated :)
Let me know what you think about the settings and if you like, try answering some of my questions, I am most curious.
