Story Details

Chapter 3

Eragon, Saphira, Holly, and the demons sat around a campfire that night.

“How could this have happened?” asked Holly, for what must have been the sixteenth time.

“Galbatorix is very powerful, more powerful than all of us combined. He could crush us with out even lifting a finger,” said Eragon

“I still don’t understand how a human of his age could have the strength to crush an army and still be able to walk around like he was 25,” said Qwan.

“Well, he obviously has trained himself over a very long period of time to build up enough physical strength to support his spells,” said No. 1, surprising everyone.

“He’s been paying attention,” noted Saphira,” His kind of memory could be handy in a tight situation.”

“That still does not explain how he has that much strength; the human body can only go so far,” said Holly, “Even a Troll’s strength can only go so far.”

“You and I both,” said Eragon

. . . .

Galbatorix’s castle

Artemis sat in a corner of a dungeon. He was still baffled at how he, Butler, and Foaly were captured so easily. Butler could sense an ambush a mile away. Yet this “king” had simply swooped in and taken them from his friends. Artemis reflected on the events since his capture. During the ride, he felt another presence inside his mind. He remembered that Eragon said that Gabaroz or whatever the heck his name was had the ability to reach into other’s mind and see into their past and secrets. Artemis groaned internally. he could have given the enemy everything that could give him even more of an advantage.

“As if he needed more of one,” Artemis siad to himself.

In a seperate cell, Butler was beating himself up. How could he have let this happen? He was the best bodyguard in the world, and some grand-standing man om an over-sized bird had taken him away without even using any weapons. What kind of world was this? Dragons and kings with enough power to destroy cities? How was he supposed to protect Artemis when there were strangers that had abilities unknown to most humans? this was very frustating.

. . .

Back with the others, Holly was going over her weapons she had brought along. She had four extra Nutrino handguns, six rifles, and several dozen granades. This was fourtunate, but not expected. Ever since the Hybras adventure, she always kept a large weapons pack in case she ever had to go through another time tunnel. They had also been specially calibated for time spells not to effect them. There were also some medical items.

Holly gave a rifle, a handgun, and three granades to each demon.

“O.K. these will be our best form of protection we will have aside from Eragon’s magic. They’re fairly easy to use. Just aim the barrel at the enemy and pull the triggers. Keep the setting on three, and you should be fine. We wil have to be on full alert. Galbatorix could come back at any time. We need to be able to respond on a moment’s notice.”

Holly noticed that she somewhat sounded like Commander Root. She wished the Commander was here now. Holly knew that he would have restled the dragon bare-handed if he had too. Maybe, just maybe, she would too.

Foaly was very confused. In most situations, he had an explanation for most everything. Now, if someone asked him what was going on, he would say his three least favorite words: I don’t know. And it was true. He felt more confused than a dwarf in a washroom. And considering most dwarves, especially Mulch, went their whole lives with taking a bath, that’s very confused. But beneath the fear and confusion, Foaly felt something different, something new; strength. Strength fueled by hatred for Galbatorix and his dragon.

Dragons. Foaly never even thought he would meet a dragon. There were once dragons on Earth. But all of these had been wiped out by fairies and humans, back when they still lived in harmony. The dragons had grown fierce and murderous due to not enough land and too little food. They began attacking near by villages, torching houses and stealing cattle and sheep. So a band of human and fairies warriors were forced to kill all of them in an ambush. What a sorry way to go.

But the dragons here, or at least what was left of them, were intelligent and good tell the difference between right and wrong. The dragons Foaly’s father had told him about were only a little smarter than Goblins. In fact, so scientists speculated that Goblins were a stupider and smaller version of the dragon. Foaly had been surprised to find out that Sapphira was as smart as any human, maybe more. And even more surprised to find out that a dragon in this dimension could wait centuries in its egg to find the right person to be its Rider.

Foaly looked around his cell to see if there was anything that he could use. Not much. A bed, chains nailed to the wall that still had the decaying remains of some poor human, and an empty tray that had been tossed into a corner. “D’arvit,” swore Foaly. Never had he been in a place so technologically behind. Foaly decided that he would have to plot, not build. “Now, how would Artemis do it?” Foaly said to himself as he sat down.

    Well, I could use some ideas. feel free to share your ideas

  2. Holly314 Says:

    oook….weird, but yes, I think u should continue! :)

  3. artyfowl3 Says:

    wow, pretty good! it’s going a bit fast and i think you should slow it down and add more descriptions. also, as my teachers always tell me, more showing and less telling. like instead of “Eragon was happy” you could have Eragon say something like, “wow, Roran! that was great! we really kicked butt!” or something he might say because i doubt he’d say what i suggested. using dialogue to express…well, expressions would make the story more interesting. other than that, awesome story!!! you should continue! ;)

    ive read eragon and i think u should continue and u could say well myabe holly and aria become frends and they all teach the varden about stuff in their own century and maybe Artemis or foaly (personally Artemis but its ur story) could get kidnapped by galbatorix because of his genius and then well… ive run out of ideas now.
    ok maybe my idea seems a bit odd. good luck with the fic :)

  14. Auruman Says:

    How many more weeks?!?!?!!?!

  15. Arya Says:

    You are going to kill us at this rate if you dont’ hurry up. I don’t want to have to go mad with waiting.

  16. Arya Says:

    WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG

  17. Arya Says:

    When you do do the next chapter can you make it longer. It wouldn’t be too hard and it would make people want to read it more. Can you give Holly the next dragon egg or make the Varden find one in Surda or something. It would be really cool.

  18. Zakutanuva Says:

    Just so you know, i have been temeraraly banned from the computer, so it’ll be a while

  19. Jelly Says:

    I have never read Erogon so this is very confusing….

  21. DemonWarlock Says:

  23. Zakutanuva Says:

    I hope you enjoy the new addition.

  24. Arya Says:

    WHAT THE HECK TOOK YOU SO LONG.
    We all thought you’d dropped off the face of the earth or something.
    The update is really good, keep it up.
    Please update soon so we don’t die of boredom.

  25. Zakutanuva Says:

    Now that i am back on the conputer, i am taking ideas for the story. I’ve heard the one about giving the last egg to Artemis or Holly, and i an deeply considering it, but i would really enjoy other ideas, anything from love intrist to who should die. DON”T HOLD BACK!!!

  26. Steven Says:

    PLZ, PLZ continue!! It’s really good. Try and finish it fast i want to read the end.

  27. Arya Says:

    What about a romance between Butler and the leader of the varden. Nassuada. I thing that’s how you say her name.
    What about Murtagh and Holly. That would be funny.

  28. Arya Says:

    Please don’t make Artemis the new rider. All the others are boys. Have at least one girl to make it fair.
    Is ther going to be any romance between Eragon and Arya? (No smart remarks please)
    Think about it would yuh.
