A/n: To all who have already read my story, this is just a shortened version of my prologue, it doesn't affect the story whatsoever. To those who haven't, this is where my story begins:

Prologue

(This is directly after Eragon agrees to help Roran find Katrina.)

First however, Eragon needed a new blade. So, he followed the advice he had once received from the werecat Solobum. The werecat had said, "When you find yourself in need of a weapon look under the roots of the Menoa Tree. And, when you feel like all hope is lost go to the rocks of Kuthian and speak your name into the vault of souls."

The time for the weapon had come so he looked under the roots of the Menoa tree and he found a blue blade, it was Brom's rider sword and it matched Saphira perfectly.

Before the search could begin Murtagh showed up having escaped from Uru'baen the capital of the Empire. He begged for assistance in breaking his oaths to Galabatorix, he also brought the third egg. He was released from his bonds with the help of Oormis and Eragon. Then another obstacle prevented the search for Katrina to begin. The third egg hatched for Roran, a silver male, who Roran named Inarkien. The search was postponed much to Roran's anger for he was in desperate need of training and could do nothing until Inarkien had grown. Two years later they finally began to search.
