Eragon: The New World

Chapter 4: The Meeting

As Eragon sat in the study on the top floor of his tree house, he couldn't help but think of Saphira and how much he missed her.

Three and a half weeks had passed since she had left, and he had yet to hear any news. Everyday she has been gone had been harder then the last for him. He felt so lost without his other half, how was he ever going to make it another four weeks without her.

Just then he heard a familiar voice call his name and break the deep thought he was in. Looking around for the person who had called out to him, he heard his name called again. Then it dawned on him the voice was coming from the scrying mirror, they had made it they had finally made it to Ilirea.

As he approached the mirror he seen the face of his dear friend and queen, Nasuada. Eragon greeted her. "My queen I see that Saphira and Blodhgram made it to you alright."

"Yes Eragon they did. This is a great surprise, I was not expecting to see any of you so soon. I hope this meeting has found you in good health."

"It has my queen, has anybody else showed up for the meeting yet?"

"No they haven't. It was very kind of you to give me so short notice, that I would be hosting so many guest!"

"I'm sorry for that but there was little time to waste. So much needs done in such a short time, if I am ever to get this new world ready for riders."

"It's ok Eragon I forgive you. I'm so glad to hear you have found a new world. You must tell me all about it and what this urgent meeting is for."

"I will my friend all in good time, for we have much to talk about before the others get here. But first I would ask a favor of you. Can you take the mirror to Saphira so I can see and talk to her? I miss her something fierce."

"Of course. I already expected such a request and have her waiting in the dragon hold for you. I would also be glad to let Saphira communicate with you threw me."

"Thank you so much! It means so much to me."

As Eragon watched though the mirror Saphira came in to view. A smile like none other appeared across his face. He had missed her so much he could hardly take it anymore, but now being able to see and talk to her again had help to ease the pain a great deal. He couldn't control it anymore and he let out a yell.

"Saphira!!! Oh how I have missed you. I hope the trip went good and you are ok?"

Nasuada spoke for her. "She said she is fine and that there were no unforeseen problems on the trip. She wants to know how you are doing and to make sure everything is good at home. Saphira also says to tell you she miss you too."

"I am doing fine, we have just been busy working nothing exciting has happen since you left."

She says, "that is good, but she wants to know when she can head home to you?" She says, "she can leave first thing in the morning."

"Not yet Saphira I need you to wait till after the meeting. There may be a few things I need you to bring back."

"I am to inform you that she is not happy about this decision, but she will wait."

"I knew you wouldn't be but it should only be for a few more days. Now get some rest and regain your strength and I'll talk to you later. Nasuada if you would like, we can return to your room now to finish our meeting."

Nasuada took a seat once they were back in her room. "So Eragon tell me all about this new world, what do you call it? What's it like? Does it have any in habitant?"

"I have given it the name Nyr Fyrsta. We have only been able to explore the valley that we live in at this time, for we lack the man power to build let alone explore. So far other then a few new types of animal life we have found no new inhabitants. For that I am very happy for."
