Hey everyone. I hope you like the prologue. Well, I don't think you started this book just to hear from me. So, without a further ado, let's get on with the story.:)(by the way, in case you haven't read the Inheritance Cycle books or you plan on reading them, a word of warning. This chapter will contain some spoilers. You have been warned)

When Saphira is speaking in thought: 'eragon'

When they are speaking in thought: ' '

Eragon slowly opened his eyes as he let out a gasp for air. At the same time, his head started ringing. The last thing he remembered was heading back to his home village of Carvahall with his cousin Roran and the rest of the villagers when a flash of light appeared before his eyes and he blacked out. Apart from that, he can't seem to remember much of anything for the exception of the flashes of memories from his past.

He jumped a bit when he heard a groan. He look to his right and noticed of familiar face. He tried to get up only to fail as he spoke. "Arya? Is that you?" He watched as she sat up and rubbed her head. He watched as she looked around, trying to get her bearings, when her eyes met his.

"Eragon?" She rubbed her head as he slowly got up and went to her. Helping her up, he felt her enter his head. 'Where are we, Shur'tugal?' He shook his head as he responded in thought. 'I don't know. What was the last thing you remember? Did you see a flash?' She nodded as she knelt and touched the ground, feeling the dirt. 'Last thing I remembered was heading back to Ellesméra with the elves, holding on to the egg we retrieved from Urû'baen. That's when I saw the flash of light. Then I woke up here with you and Saphira.'

She smiled silently as she looked up and saw Saphira, who was slowly waking up. She gasp, startling Eragon as she felt around for a pouch she was carrying. She sighed in relief as she felt the bag that contain the egg she was carrying was there. She looked at him and smiled. 'Looks like Saphira isn't the only dragon that came with us.'

They looked at Saphira, who was looking at them, now fully awake. She snorted as she looked at the two, especially Eragon. 'Little one.' Saphira looked at Arya, who nodded to the Dragon. 'It warms my heart to see that you're alright Saphira Bjartskular.' Saphira nodded to Arya. 'It warms my eldunarí to see that you are well as well, Arya Dröttningu.' Saphira then noticed that someone else was there with them. 'Now, when will you two realise that we aren't alone?' She said to them while her attention was focused on the woman that was looking at them with wide eyes.

They both turned their eyes to the woman in question. She looked to be in her mid-thirties with a head full of slightly long brownish hair and green eyes. Her skin tone was slightly pale and slightly tanned. She was wearing a brown tunic and dark brown pants along with brown shoes. They noticed a carriage with bunch of goods nearby and they realize that she must have been a merchant. All in all, she looked friendly-ish.

Arya instantly stiffened and had a stern look on her face as Eragon stepped forward slowly, hoping to not startle the woman. "Are you alright?" Eragon then noticed that the woman was stuttering. "D-Dragon." Eragon sighed at that. He always knew how people would react when seeing a dragon. It took him a couple minutes to get the woman's attention.

"Ma'am." She jumped when he snapped his fingers. "Sorry for startling you ma'am. You was distracted by Saphira." She had a look of confusion on her face when she spoke. "Saphira?" He nodded as he motioned towards the dragon. "That's Saphira. The Dragon. She's known to get that response." Saphira just snorted at that. 'Two-legs.' She said in his mind.

"I never thought I would get to see one." At that, Eragon looked at her confused. "What do you mean?" She looked at him as she spoke. "Dragons haven't been seen in over 200 or 300 years ago." Eragon stiffened at that. Arya was the one who spoke next. "If you don't mind me asking, where are we?" Kori responded.

"You are in the North. Only a few miles away from the capital of the North known as Winterfell." Eragon looked at Saphira and Arya, one thought they all had at the same time. 'We're not in Alagaesia anymore.' Eragon then spoke aloud to Kori. "So we are no longer in Alagaesia." Kori look confused but just shrugged. After all, she did see them fall from a hole in the sky.

"Anyways, my name is Kori. Kori Irons. I'll be the first one to welcome you to what is known as Westeros." Eragon nodded as he bowed. "My name is Eragon Bromson." He then motioned towards Arya, who also bowed. "This is Arya Dröttning Islanzadisdaughter." At that, Kori's eyes widen at that. "That is a very long name."

Eragon nodded at that. "It is. However, where we are from, our last names usually have our father or mothers first name added to the last name. My father was named Brom, so my last name is Bromson." He then motioned towards Saphira. "And last but not least, this is my dragon partner Saphira Brightscales. I am her Rider."

Kori was confused at that but she just nodded. "Well, since you're new to this world, it's best to get you somewhere where you are going to at least learn where you are. You are free to join me on my trip to Winterfell. There, you can meet with Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North." She turned around and began walking back to her carriage. She then stopped when she just realized something. She turned around and looked at the trio.

"Another thing. You can decide on what you want to do. However, Saphira will draw attention. Maybe somewhat too much attention. Dragons haven't been seen in a long time. And around here, dragons are considered monstrous. And so people will have wide eyes and open mouths. But they will also have fear. You can have her come with you, but I suggest you hide her until after you meet the Lord of Winterfell. It's your choice."

The three looked at each other. Arya and Eragon had similar thoughts. They knew Saphira will cause a commotion which could be good or bad. And they also thought that it would be wise for her to stay hidden. However, Saphira voiced her objections quite loudly as she growled at the two.

'I will not leave you two in the land we do not know. There would be dangers we don't know about here. I will stay with you until we reach Winterfell. Then I will fly away and stay hidden until called.' Not giving them a chance to argue, she moved past the three and stood next to the carriage. Eragon sighed again as he looked at Kori. "She's going to stay with us until we get near Winterfell. Then she will fly off and return when called." Kori nodded as she got on the carriage. Eragon and Arya soon joined her on the carriage. Then, slowly, they made their way towards Winterfell.

And chapter one is done. I do like writing oh, but it is a hassle when you're trying to get everything to work. Anyways I hope you liked this chapter. The next one will be up shortly. For now though adios mi amigos.:)
