The Next Generation, an Inheritance Cycle and Lord of The Rings crossover

Arrival

Eragon's Point of View

When they got a good view of the city, Eragon had thought that the city reminded him of Teirm. When Eragon thought of Teirm, he thought of his friend Joed. When Eragon thought of Joed a wave of homesickness hit him. He missed the land that they had been forced to abandon. He missed all his friends and family, and he wondered if he would ever see them again face to face. scrying didn't count. Saphira said in his mind, "Eragon you shouldn't worry about what is yet to come. Thoughts like those will only upset you."

He replied, "I know Saphira, but since we have been doing nothing but traveling there has been nothing to distract me, so they continue to return."

Early that morning Saphira had flown high into the sky to avoid anyone in the city seeing her. As Eragon had suspected she had been very reluctant to do so. It had been difficult, but he had finally managed to convince her. As they got closer to the city Eragon could tell that the city was indeed inhabited by humans. He could see them loading ships at the docks, or just walking around the city. As far as he could tell no one was armed and if they were their weapons were sheathed. Perhaps they wouldn't have to fight these people. After a second glance, he noticed a large table set up outside a large white stone building. He wondered if they were interrupting some kind of celebration.

He also noticed a man with a large crown on his head standing not far from the docks as if he was waiting for them to arrive. Beside the man stood a woman, even from this distance she appeared to be very beautiful. Eragon assumed she must be his wife. He noticed that beside her stood two boys who he assumed were their sons.  The oldest boy appeared to be only a couple years younger than Eragon himself. The second boy looked to be around nine. Standing beside the king were six people who were abnormally short. They looked like humans but they were shorter than dwarves, they didn't wear any shoes and the men lacked the dwarves' beards. Behind them were four even smaller people who he assumed were their children. He wondered why the children had been allowed to come with their parents, He wondered if they had followed them without their permission.

Aragorn's point of view

They all walked out to the docks to get a look at the ship and the people who were on it. He could see that the man's description had been quite accurate. From what he could tell the man's description of the people on board were also quite accurate. They did look a lot like elves but one of them was different than the others. He almost looked like he was half elf and half human. Aragorn couldn't help but wonder if these people would be trustworthy or not, after all, Aragorn knew that they weren't any of the elves that he had known so he had no idea why they were here, for all he knew they could be here to try and attack the city.

Eragon's point of view

When they reached the docks he was the first to disembark the elves followed behind him. Cuaroc had stayed onboard the ship to protect the eggs and eldunari in case any of the locals decided to explore their ship while they were gone. The citizens who had gathered to see the unusual visitors parted when Eragon and the elves approached them. The king and his companions began to walk toward Eragon and the elves with no signs of fear. Now that Eragon could get a better look at the king, he could see that he was tall and had dark hair and grey eyes, he also had a sword sheathed at his waist. His wife was indeed beautiful she had dark hair and grey eyes. Now that he was closer he could see that the dwarf-like men also had swords. sure they were small they were more like a small knife to Eragon, but Eragon suspected that if they needed to they could use them.

Finally, the king reached him; the king said, "I am Aragorn son of Arathorn and king of the Reunited Kingdom, Arnor and Gondor. who are you and why have you come here?"

Eragon Responded saying, "I am Eragon Shadeslayer son of Brom, My companions are Blödhgarm, Invidia, and Yaela," and he said the names of the six other elves that were with him. Eragon Continued, "We came from another land called Alegasia." And Eragon told them about Alegasia, the war against Galbatorix, the riders and the reason they had left their homeland. He said, "we left Alegasia to find a suitable location to raise the wild dragons and train the next generation of riders. When we noticed this city we were still searching for a suitable location."

Aragorn said, "you say you are a rider yourself but I don't see a dragon with you."

Eragon replied, "she is with us, however, when we first noticed this city we convinced her to fly so high in the air that she could be mistaken for a bird. We didn't want her to frighten you or your citizens since we hoped you would be allies. I will call her if you wish to meet her now."

Aragorn said, "summon her then it will convince me that you are telling the truth, although I already suspect that you are since I don't think anyone could come up with a story like that to lie."

While Aragorn was saying this Eragon shouted with his mind, "Saphira!"

He sensed her diving toward the ground he said to her, "Be careful when you land, don't trample anyone. So far they seem to trust us if you crush someone that will probably change his mind."

Saphira replied, "I'll be careful."

Eragon said to Aragorn, "She is coming."

after he said this; he turned his eyes toward the sky to watch Saphira. He noticed that most of the crowd had done the same. He could see a speck in the sky that he knew was Saphira, as she went into a steep dive toward the ground the crowd parted so she would have room to land. She leveled off shortly before she hit the ground and landed with a thud. The crowd parted again as she walked toward Eragon. She stopped once she reached his side. Saphira looked at the king and his companions, Eragon could sense that she approved of him as if she could tell that he was a mighty warrior. She also seemed to approve of the dwarf-like men. Eragon said to Aragorn, "This is my dragon Saphira Brightscales. She can understand you if you speak to her since the dragons from our homeland are as intelligent as you or I. I apologize if we interrupted anything; I just noticed that table and wondered if we had interrupted a celebration."

Aragorn chuckled before replying, "you did actually; we were just finishing the preparations when I was informed of your arrival."

Eragon Said, "We had hoped you would know of a place that would be suitable for our needs, or at least provide us with additional supplies so we could continue our search."

Aragorn said, "I can provide supplies, but I will have to think about your other request, right now I can't think of anywhere that isn't already inhabited. While I think about it come and join us we are Celebrating the anniversary of our victory in the last war,"
