"i shall be the first to introduce myself i am jaune pendragon arcadeus king of ardonia" i said

"it's a pleasure, your majesty i am nasuada leader of the varden" nasuada said

"i am orrin, king of surda" orrin said

"a pleasure your majesty" i said

"we are both kings let us not dwell on honorifics" the man said

"very well" i said

"why are you here, your people are not of alagaesia and therefor do not have to worry of galbatorix" nasuada said

"this is where the last remaining dragons exist all other dragons are deceased, or at least dragons in your respect of the word" i said gravely 

"what do you mean" nasuada said

"that is all i will say on the subject only a dragon may know i do not even trust these so called riders, all i will say is the term dragon is quite broad" i said

"and our type of dragon is dying out" nasuada asked

"well all that are left are here in alagaesia" i said cryptically confusing the group

"why do you care" eragon said reverting the subject of the conversation

"i am a dragonlord, though that as well is a dumb name i shall need to find a better one" i said

"does that mean" he asked

"it does there is one flaw" i said

"what is that" nasuada asked

"i am bonded with the dragon known as shruikan" i said they stared at me

"isn't that" orrin asked

"the dragon galbatorix tortured into submission i have a means of healing him" i said

"how" arya the elf asked

"again that is something only a dragon or dragonlord may know, while we are called dragonlords and we do have the ability to command them, the dragons are quite literally our kin our siblings, i intend to follow suit especially since to my knowledge i am the last dragonlord" i said

"i see" arya said dejectedly

"that being said you my dear i see going far, your dream will come to reality at the end of the war" i said she looked at me confused but i gave her no answer

"are you some type of fortune teller as well as king" nasuada asked

"of a sort, but my abilities are far more powerful, then that if i tell you something will happen you have my word it will unless of course you change it, for instance, murtagh will return to kidnap you" i said

"WHAT, WHEN" eragon yelled i raised my hand

"it will be after a major victory, you eragon, at the coaxing of the elf will get drunk after a death that hurts you both equally during that battle, which by the way you can help, i would recommend allowing me to speak with the girl you are having trouble with i have my means to get her to agree to aid you, and she is by far more important in this stage then you, boy" i said

"we appear the same age" eragon said annoyed

"that may be true but i have experience leading an entire army into a battle do you, i have also experienced true betrayel not the have coated betrayel you have felt from that other one who was forced to betray you and you would have done the exact same in his shoes" i said he was silent

"who betrayed you" eragon asked

"someone i thought as my partner, i envy the bond you have boy, it's a bond that is not easily broken, not even a dragonlords bond is so sealing, my predecessor merlin learned that" i said he looked a bit shocked
