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

Communication

Eragon let Arathorn have a brief break from training because there was something Eragon wanted to do. He reached into Saphira's saddlebags and pulled out the mirror that he had brought with him. Now that they'd found a place where they could train new riders, he decided to Contact Nasuada to tell her. He held the mirror and said, "draumr kópa" (dream stare) the mirror turned white for a moment and then an image of one of the rooms in Nasuada's castle appeared and the person in front of the mirror was one of the many people Eragon missed every day.

It was Jörmundur, He had a slightly surprised look on his face clearly surprised to hear from Eragon. he said, "Shadeslayer, it is nice to see you again. What has happened to you these past months? We haven't had any news since you left,"

Eragon replied, "if you can go find Nasuada I will tell you,"

As Jörmundur left to find Nasuada a wave of homesickness hit Eragon as he thought about everyone he had left behind. Most of all he missed Arya the only woman he had ever loved. He knew that Saphira also missed Fírnen. Eragon knew he shouldn't dwell on such thoughts, that they would only upset him, but it was hard not to think about those he had left behind. As he was trying to calm his thoughts Jörmundur returned with Nasuada following behind him.

They walked over to the mirror and Nasuada spoke. She said, "It is good to hear from you again, what has happened these past months? why haven't you contacted us sooner?"

Eragon answered, "It may have taken quite some time, but we have found a suitable location to train the new riders and raise the wild dragons,"

Eragon explained how a few days earlier they had noticed the city and had decided to stop there to see if it was inhabited and if it was to see if the inhabitants could help them. He explained that when they reached the city, they had met the king and had told them what they were doing and asked if he could help them in any way.

Eragon told them how the king had invited them to eat with them and how he had told him the smaller people and found out that they were called hobbits. He explained how they had unknowingly interrupted a celebration. Then he said that partway through the celebration Saphira had told him that two of the eggs were stirring as if their riders were nearby. He explained how he had told the king this and had left to get the eggs so they could find out who their first students would be.

After he said this Nasuada said, "You already have two new students!" she sounded surprised but pleased.

Eragon answered, "yes a gold egg hatched for the Prince while a red one hatched for one of the young hobbits,"

Nasuada said, "wait a minute you said that an egg hatched for a member of a race that is not yet included in the spell?"

Eragon said, "Yes I don't understand it either, the only explanation I could come up with is that the dragon thought the hobbit was a dwarf. Nothing like this has happened before,"

Eragon continued, "I explained that if it becomes necessary, I could add hobbits to the spell. If the need arises, I will have to get you to contact Arya, and get her to contact me,"

Nasuada said, "if you decide that hobbits will need to be added to the spell let me know and I will contact her,"

Eragon agreed before continuing his story saying, "after the celebrations had ended the king mentioned one place that might suit our needs. The next day Saphira and I flew there and determined that it was a suitable location. We spent the rest of that day preparing to leave the king's city. The next day The Prince whose name is Arathorn flew here on Saphira with me. The hobbit rider and the elves are coming on horseback with what is left of our supplies along with some additional supplies the king has given us. They should arrive later today,"
