"eragon, eragon is that you" she asked in shock as she stood her previous conversation with arya forgotten not that arya much cared as she forgot herself
"i am indeed eragon, i am sorry my mother left me a.....gift, we'll say that i had to take some time to unpack, there is an army on it's way they are loyal to me and will see this war through, they should be here anytime now" i said
"where did you go" arya asked
"outside alaegasia far outside alaegasia, it is my home now, i brought half of the royal army however as i felt i should see this war through and alagaesia's liberation from the tyrant however, this is where we must discuss, my help is not free, or more accurately my army's help is not free, my council demanded and with good cause, that we take the eldunari that galbatorix has within his possession, and the "last" egg" i said
"WHAT" arya said and this was what i had expected
"i am sorry, arya this is nonnegotiable" i said
"DRAGONS, my lady there are dragons a hoard of them" the captain of the guard said bursting in i sighed
"my forces are here" i said arya who heard the guard stepped outside to see sure enough a small hoard of dragons flying above a rather massive army
"five hundred thousand strong, and they are well trained" i said as i stepped out behind her with nasuada in tow as i beamed at my army
"this also means that i can no longer take orders from you my lady" i said
"of course i release you of your oath eragon" as she stared at the army before her
"none of them require mind reading i can guarantee they are loyal to me and me alone, i am their king after all" i said
"king" arya said i nodded
"i should mention i require to speak with your mother about the elves returning to their rightful home" i said her eyes widened
"yes, the elves came from ardania, the kingdom is stronger then ever now as you can clearly see and, while my forefathers took your peoples betrayal rather harshly i have decided water under the bridge and you are welcomed home, if of course you wish to come home, though much of changed since your people have set foot on ardanian, soil much has changed" i said bitterly
"is there something wrong eragon" nasuada asked noticing his tone at the end
"yes but it is nothing to concern yourself with" i said
"an envoy from the ardanian force wishes to meet with her king my lady" a messenger said
"of course bring her forth" nasuada said i grimaced i knew who was coming and sure enough a blond haired elven woman stepped forward and kneeled
"so this is the beast you spoke of hmm, pathetic" she said as she eyed saphira with disgust i knew this was coming and could feel saphira's rage
"saphira please, as for you siphania enough" i ordered
"i am sorry my king, i cannot understand why you would wish to ally yourself with something so week" siphania said
"who are you to call me week" saphira asked and i knew this was about to get back as siphania morphed to her dragon form which was slightly bigger then saphira but she was very clearly more powerful then saphira
"I AM THE ONE WHO THE KING WAS SUPPOSED TO BOND WITH, BUT INSTEAD HE WAS BONDED TO WEAK BEAST LIKE YOU" siphania roared in saphira face i sighed seeing this coming a mile away
"is this true" arya asked saphira was also glaring at me
"things are different in ardania then they are here, a dragon does not wait for a rider before hatching they hatch whenever they would normally be ready to hatch they would grow and then they would choose riders, or choose not to have a rider at all, that is the law, however some of the stronger of the breed are taught that they have such an honor placed upon them of being a rider to a member of the royal family, murtagh was originally heir to the throne but well rulers are also chosen slightly differently he gave up his throne the moment he kneeled before galbatorix" i said
"hmph, we do not take weak kings, eragon however he is exactly what we wish for a king, and it is an honor to be your dragon my king, we aren't just taught it is instinct to us, placed upon us by our former king generations ago, when he and your ancestor fought" siphania said quite proud with her ancestry, and very honored to be his rider, well if he didn't reject her that is
