The burning, roaring, and crashing sounds that emanated from the plains were almost unbearable to listen to.
Yet another Rider, one of the last few, had fallen at the hands of evil.
His dragon, furious about the death of his Rider, thrashed about, trying to destroy the man who had killed his closest friend.
Try as he might, this evil would not be stopped so easily. The traitor, Galbatorix, would soon become known as the tyrant of Alagesia...
And he needed a dragon
Galbatorix worked his evil upon the poor dragon, forcing it to disgorge its Eldunari,
And with it, he took the dragon's mind
He twisted it, making it bend to his will,
Until there was nothing left but hate and ferocity.
The dragon roared, a stream of flame burned the sky
Galbatorix had finished his work
This monstrosity,
Was Shruikan
