Chapter 22: Family Reunion

When they landed for the night, Arya noticed they were substantially closer to Eragon and Saphira. Far closer than they should have been. She then realized that Eragon must want them to overtake him.The thought made her smile with amusement. What a touching letter he left, just to get me to follow him... boys are so complicated. she thought. Firnen shared her feelings, saying that he was complicated. Arya then built a fire and ate a dinner of roots, nuts, and wild berries. Soon after that, she fell into her waking dreams, and for once, slept soundly.

. . .

Eragon saw the smoke plum behind him. Good, he thought, They're catching us. not long after he made his own fire and dinner he fell into his own waking dreams but this time, they were not restful. He saw the dark landscape of the void, the final battle their. He saw Galbatoix fighting Death himself, like a repeat of the battle with Vreal. Galbatorix shouted brisingr, igniting his sword, killed Death in the fork of his legs, and decapitate him when he stumbled backward. After that, Galbatoix gained control of the void, and tried to release just him and his allies, but the power proved to much even for him, and everyone at the battle was brought back to life. that was how he came back to his body... He may not have shown it, but his life was slowly ebbing away during those months he was unconscious, and that was why no one could enter his mind, because the void kept them out. Now his main concern was getting to the diamond tomb, where Charavahall's old storyteller would be waiting for him.

he arrived shortly before noon, and he could already feel his anticipation rising. when he topped the hill, he could see that Brom's eyes were now open, insead of closed, like he had left them so many years ago. Eragon quickly removed the diamond that in cased Brom, and after he helped him up, uttered a single word."Father." he said. Brom's face broke into a grin.

"My boy!" He shouted, embracing him.

"I've got so many questions, it would take years to just ask them."

"No more than the usual then? That's a surprise." when Eragon tried to retort, Brom cut him off saying,"Come now we must not dily daly, we have Riders and their dragons that need taming." Just then, a blue dragon bigger than Saphira landed, along with Firnen and Arya. Then Eragon realized that the dragon was not bigger than Sphira, but was Saphira, at least her namesake. Brom then fell to his knees and cried out in a loud voice, "Oh Saphira, I have missed you so!" and ran out to embrace her. Then the dragon spoke to everyone, her voice beaming, And i you, small one. Although he hated to break their happiness, Eragon said in his best impression of Brom's voice,

"Come now, we must not dily daly, we have Riders and their dragons to tame."

Brom's Saphira looked at him and said, This ones got attitude. Brom pulled Eragon closer and said,

"Do you not recognize it? Even though the years have been long, I would expect you to remember what your Rider was like."

You mean he's-

"Yes, he is my son. got the attitude and questions from me. rest from his mother." Then two shapes appeared to the east of them. One was high above, and fairly larger, with a goldish tint. The other seemed oblivious to the one higher up, and was a reddish tint. "That is either really bad-

"Or extremely bad." finished Eragon. "Lets go." together the three of them climbed atop their dragons and rode toward the two dragons.

They where within shouting range within minutes, and confirmed it was extremely bad. the golden dragon, which they could now discern was Gleadr, had just noticed Murtaugh and Thorn, and was diving on them with incredible speed. They shouted at Murtagh to look up, but was to late.

Gleadr saw the red weakling and discerned it was oblivious. Filled with rage over the loss of his body, he dived at it. Adrenaline rushed threw his body, and he opened his jaw... the Rider looked up, eyes wide, but there was nothing he could do... Gleadr struck Thorn in his back, causing it's Rider to lash backward, impaling his arm in the spike behind him, and making him fall unconscious from the blow to the head. Gleadr then tore a size able chunk off Thorn, and swallowed it whole. After he tore half his tail off and let the dragon plummet to the ground.
