Disclaimer: I do not own the original Inheritance Cycle characters.

A/N: I realize I should be working on other fanfics, but this idea just wouldn't leave my mind. It was like a little pin, poking my brain repeatively, not leaving me alone. Until finally I couldn't take it anymore. Here is the basic summary: It has just been a day after Eragon fought Galbatorix and won the battle, finally restoring peace to Alagaesia, when a wizard who was loyal to Galbatorix shows up wanting revenge. Unbeknownst to Eragon, the wizard has already prepared a spell that would separate him from someone close to his heart, not to mention also erasing his memories in the process. Will Eragon ever get his memories back and get the special being back in his life? Or will he never remember who he really is and what he is? Read to find out!

Chapter 1

"Eragon!" Groaning, Eragon slowly opened his eyes to see Roran smiling above him. The last thing he remembered was fighing Galbatorix, used a strong spell and then blacked out.

"Did...did I die?" Roran chuckled.

"No, you passed out. The spell you did lit the sky up Eragon! It was so powerful I'm sure if anyone was living in Carvahall they would've felt the giant wave from it!" Looking around, Eragon saw the Varden all hustling about, as if on the brink off an attack.

"What's going on?" Roran followed his gaze and sighed.

"Oh, nothing really. Everyone is just used to the schedule they have had since the war began. And if you're wondering where Saphira is, she left a little while ago with your half brothers dragon, I forget his name all the time."

"Murtagh, and the dragon is Thorn."

"That's right. Murtagh and Thorn." Raising a hand, Eragon smiled weakly at Roran.

"Help me up?"

"Of course, cousin." Once Eragon was on his feet, he looked around and saw Arya healing some of the wounded Varden members. Walking towards her, Eragon wondered if by any chance he'd have a chance at her heart now that the war was over.

'Don't think about it, little one.'

'Saphira...When have I ever not listened to your advice?'

'Most of the time you don't. Like how you won't listen to me when I tell you not to use certain spells. Didn't I tell you that the one you used against Galbatorix had a big chance it would kill you as well?'

'Yes, you told me, but alas, it did not.' He heard Saphira snort in his brain.

'Typical human...' Blocking her out of his mind, Eragon sat down beside Arya, who glanced at him before concentrating on healing the person. Once she was done and had eaten, only then did she look at Eragon fully.

"How are you feeling?"

"Much better. Is the war officially over?"

"With Galbatorix's defeat, Alagaesia will be looking for a new king. But yes Eragon, the war is officially over." With a sigh of relief, Eragon looked around for a moment and then smiled.

"It seems like only yesterday I was racing across the Hadarac Desert with Murtagh and Saphira to get you to the Varden to save your life." Arya chuckled a bit and looked at him through half opened eyes.

"What will you do now, Shadeslayer?"

"I suppose I would settle down, but then again I am a DragonRider. I guess there is no settling down for riders."

"No. Not unless their dragon died, and I all ready know you would be devasted if that ever happened. You love Saphira so much, I know you would miss her dearly."

"Yeah. I don't know what I would do if I forgot about her." A roar sounded behind them right before Saphira landed on the ground with a thud.

'You'd mope around trying to remember what it was that you had forgotten.' Eragon laughed and hugged Saphira's neck, with a sigh.

"But Saphira isn't the only one that I love. I also love you Arya." The elf stiffened and Eragon started to regret saying that.

"Eragon, I know the war is over but I already gave you my answer." She spoke slowly and clearly, making sure he understood what she was saying.

"But that doesn't make any sense! I could have sworn you said that only because you wanted me to focus on my training, so I could fight against Galbatorix and win." Saphira lowered her head and nudged Eragon a bit.

'Just let it drop little one.' Raising her head, Saphira released a loud roar which made the Varden stop hustling about. Eragon, with a smile, climbed onto Saphira's back, who then jumped into the air, gaining altitude quickly. Both of them were enjoying the fact that now the war was over. They were no longer needed at the Varden, which meant they could fly together whenever they wanted now. Suddenly Saphira's head snapped toward the Beor Mountains and Eragon caught the last few words in magic and felt the spell wrap around himself and Saphira instantly. With a roar of anger, they went crashing to the ground, Eragon flew a few feet away from Saphira, who landed on her back.

'Saphira! Are you all right?'

'I'm fine. What about you little one?'

'I'm ok. I just can't move.'

'Neither can I. Look.' Moving his eyes to the side, he saw a tall man with a long gray beard, a billowing cloak, a staff, and small cold gray eyes glaring at him.

'A wizard!' Saphira snarled right when the wizard released the spell. Standing up, Eragon put a hand on Brisingr's hilt, and approached the wizard slowly.

"Who are you and why did you immoblize us just to get us down here?"

"You kill King Galbatorix...and for that you are my enemy." Eragon's eyes widened as the wizard closed his eyes and looked as if he was thinking about something. 'No...he's drawing in his magic...' Before Eragon could react, Saphira quickly grabbed his shirt with her teeth and jumped back into the air, flapping fast. Swivling her head around, she put Eragon on her back.

'Saphira!'

'Don't talk right now! I'm getting us far from-ugh!' Saphira shrieked in pain and Eragon felt as if his head was spinning.

'Saphira...my head feels like it is about to explode...' Leaning to the right, Eragon slipped off Saphira's back by accident, and stared up at her as he was free falling. But not even a second later, he saw dots in his vision.

'Eragon?...ERAGON!' Saphira started to come down towards him, but her entire body seemed to lock up in a spasm, and right before Eragon's eyes she disappeared, but she sent one last thought to him.

'Eragon...help...' Widening his eyes, with a little hope that his mind would clear, Eragon tried to figure out how to stop himself from free falling. But then he heard the wizard's voice in his head and he seemed to stop in mid air.

"You will never again see your precious dragon nor will you remember those who are close to you." Images of Arya, Saphira, Roran, Murtagh and everyone else flashed through his mind only to start to disappear.

"You will not remember what you have done for Alagaesia, you will think you are an ordinary farm boy in the Hadarac Desert. You will not remember who you are, or anything about yourself, except you are a farm boy." The spell sunk deep into his mind, erasing everything and before it was completely gone, Eragon let out a choked whimper. 'I don't want to forget...' He closed his eyes before the last memory was completely gone. It just happened to be when Saphira first hatched.

"Saphira..." He whispered before everything went dark when he collided with the ground.

Ok review! So what do you think of the first chapter? The bold&Italics was supposed to be the wizards voice echoing through Eragon's mind (and yes I realize that Eragon is strong to have a shield against his mind, but the wizard's earlier spell did more than just immobilize him; it took down his defenses around his mind) and the spell taking action on him. Now you know who was taken away from Eragon. Ok review (or yell at me through said reviews _) and I shall update! -(of course that depends on what the reviews tell me XD) REVIEW!
