we traveled for quite a long while arya wanted me and eragon to hide the fact we were human eragon did so i refused pointing out how she wanted me to come not the other way around i got some ire from some of the elves but ignored it

"your race are to damn prideful for their own good" i said she nodded sadly at how true that was

we eventually did arrive at the city and was greeted by the queen herself who first gushed about her daughter to my surprise the moment she saw me she kneeled

"you grace us with your presence great dragonlord" she said with a tone of utmost respect

"you know of us" i said in shock

"the old order had two dragonlords with them, they bridged the gap between the wild dragons and the riders, they have a particular magical aura about them that is unique" islanzadi said in reverence

"rise, i need not, your respect when i have not earned it" i said she did so

"simply by choosing to fight in this war you have earned my respect you are the last of that noble race, you could have chosen to hide away for your survival and none would blame you, but you choose to fight" islanzadi said

"i greet you as well dragon lord" an elder man said i could feel his magic being blocked

"do not move, any more" i said as i healed him of his injuries

"i have removed the spells placed upon you" i said

"then you have my gratitude dragonlord" he said i nodded

"now what happened to you, my friend" i said to the golden dragon before me as i stepped forward

"this will be the first time in a long time i have to use this" i said as i drew my wand created by death himself the successor of the elder wand and i began to heal his wound until his leg had regrown entirely

"it seems we are both in your debt great dragonlord, i am oromis" oromis said i nodded

"he is a man who can create miracles he brought my dragon back from the dead" brom said

"all i did was use her still intact dragon heart to regrow her body, however do not ask it of me again, i know much about magic but even that is beyond me i can only do it once, and i went unconscious after doing so" i said oromis nodded in understanding

"good now, i have done as you have asked" i said to arya who nodded

"another has asked for entrance, he claims the dragon lord vouches for him" an elf said

"he carries the sword of morzan" i asked the man nodded

"let him in, i do vouch for him, murtagh has done as i asked" i said as in came a crimson dragon with murtagh beside it

"the last egg" murtagh said

"good man, well done" i said as i made sure of his allegiances without his knowing i was very good at hiding my legilimency

"here you are, i have also brought my five eggs" i said

"six eggs, and seven dragons" islanzadi said

"may i" i asked as i took the green egg

"here" i said to arya

"why are you giving it to me" she asked

"a little known fact when the spell was recast that created the bonds between dragons and riders, the spell also gave the dragonlords access to see a glimpse of who their rider may be, your welcome" i said her eyes gleamed

"you have my deepest gratitude" she said i shrugged

"any wild eggs, that are found are to be left in my care" i said

"of course dragon lord" islanzadi said as i left them as i could feel the pull of a mind i followed it to find myself standing in front of a tree

"i am the menoa tree, refer to me as linnea" she spoke

"very well, and what is it you require" i asked her roots moved to reveal a cluster of brightsteel i took it

"do you know of a place i could use as a forge" i asked

"is that brightsteel" she asked

"yes, a gift from a tree" i said she was amazed though she took tamerlein as her blade and was having rhunon modify it for her

she led me to rhunon and introduced me to her

the woman tried to get me to leave saying she wouldn't forge me a blade

"ENOUGH, i am asking to borrow your forge, not have you create a blade for me, i am using a technique, from a race who have a mastery at creating weapons" i said speaking of the goblins of my original world i'd be giving it the same enchantments as the sword of gryffindor and any other abilities i can think of

"it seems i must apologize then, for not allowing you to speak and explain yourself you are of course welcome to use my forge" she said

"i could break your oath as well it is but a simple endeavor, though it might be uncomfortable" i said

"if you can break my oath then do so, i have been unable to help my people because of this oath" she said i nodded

"imperio" i said as the spell took affect

"forge a sword" i said and she did so getting to work in forging a blade using normal steel

"the imperious curse a spell that is considered unforgivable to use, it bends a person to anothers will unless you have enough willpower to beat out your opponent which is not an easy task" i said when she finished her sword which she used magic to speed up the process i released the spell

"i do not like that spell" she said

"most don't" i replied

"however you have my gratitude for breaking my oath" she said i nodded

"shall we forge this blade" she asked i nodded and we got to work at her request we did it the old fashioned way when we completed the blade which had a myriad of enchantments on it what neither of us realized yet was that we had created a whole new blade

 the moment i wrapped my hand on the blade there was a burst of light and when it died down i stood in impressive and intricate armor

"this is" i said as i looked at the blade in my hand

"what shall we name it" rhunon asked putting this new discovery to the side for a moment

"in the ancient language it shall be named, svell kvïstr" i said

"ice branch" she said nodding at my choice i walked out to find ryoko had changed from her pure white to a sky blue

"should we reforge the other rider blades" she asked i nodded

"i'd recommend it yes, for murtagh and arya it would truly make the blade there's and no one elses and dragons do shed scales from time to time, i used mine and it seems to further have cemented the bond between dragon and rider

"it makes me wonder what happens when a dragon gives their blood for the bond" rhunon asked a moment later she had the new forged sword at her throat

"never suggest such a thing" i warned her she nodded not really surprised riders were protective of their dragons and a dragonlord who is also a rider would be doubly protective 

"of course forget i mentioned it" she said
