Dragon Eggs and Monsters By: Afia Paracha What would you do if you found a special rock? Would you keep it, or just leave it in the wild where you found it? Eragon is a boy living with his uncle in Carvahall, a small town on the continent of Algaesia. His mother passed away when he was born, and he's lived with his uncle ever since. Carvahall is bordered by the Spine, a place thought to be cursed after Galbatorix, the king, was said to have lost almost half his army there. Algaesia is a land of magic, where dwarves and elves are said to live, and dragons once roamed. But now just one dragon, and dragon rider, is left. Galbatorix is the king, and has ruled most of Algaesia with an iron fist. While hunting within the spine, Eragon finds a shining blue rock. He takes it back with him, and attempts to sell it to the butcher in exchange for meat. He refuses, claiming that the rock is cursed. Eragon decides to keep the rock until the traders arrive, planning to sell it then. But when the traders do arrive, he's told that the rock is hollow, which is uncommon. Once again, he keeps the rock, not sure what to do now. But soon, the rock begins to hatch. Not a rock, but an egg. And not just any egg, but a dragon egg. When the riders fell, few knew that there were still three eggs that hadn't hatched for anyone. The dragons withing hadn't found a proper rider, until Eragon found one. He decides to keep the dragon, naming it Saphira after a slain dragon of the past. He finds advice from the stories that Brom, the town storyteller shares with the citizens. But little does he know that he's not the only one interested in the dragon. The Razac, monster like creatures, are searching for the egg. They don't know that it's hatched, believing that someone in the town is hiding it. Eragon escapes with Saphira, fleeing with Brom the storyteller, who knows much more than he lets on.
