CHAPTER ONE

                                                                       My Parents are Stolen

                           "Hey Ed!"I called over my shoulder,I was working in the Fields with my two brothers Edward and Kiba. With our animal Partners Pan,Percy,and Leo. Pan yawned and looked around "This is boring!" He complained,I nodded in agreement. Kiba groaned "Can the king get less fatter?" Kiba shook his head. Edward turned around grinning madly "You've seen the king?!"He asked excitedly, Kiba nodded "Yeah,Remember when the king wanted Archers? I applied for that..but I didn't qualify because I wasn't old enough,"Kiba ended. I nodded "I remember,I was only twelve right? and you were ten,"I laughed suddenly "I don't think the king would want to be getting threats from villagers about their sons getting killed at an early age,".

                           Kiba nodded "So Percy,you think we've done enough for today?"He asked his fox partner. "Oh,Sure!" Percy said quickly "I've been dying to get out of this place! I'm starving I'm so hungry...I could probably eat Leo!"He blurted out. Leo glared at him "Hey!"He spat "I'm mostly fur and bones!". "Oh right,"Percy said rolling his eyes "I should call you Leo the alley Piglet." Leo hissed and unsheathed his claws but Edward picked Leo up "Hey no fighting!" He growled "Fine,"Leo said and purred as Edward stroked his head lightly. Percy lowered his ears and looked at Kiba "How come you never hold me like that?"Percy complained,Kiba and I laughed. "Come on,Mom and dad are at the cottage and-"I started but Kiba cut me off "And supper better be ready or I'm gonna give dad a great big bear hug!". "And that's punishment how?"Edward asked letting Leo hop on his head his ears lowering a bit so Leo could fit.

                         "Race Ya!"I said to them and started running with Pan at my heels. "I won!"I said triumphantly but then Kiba ran into me "No one likes a bragger." Kiba pointed out "Aye,"Edward replied trying to sound like our father. I burst through the door  "We're Ho-!"I started to say but stopped when I saw all the tables and chairs were turned over,specks of blood were on the floor,and a note was pinned to the wall by a bloody knife. I herd everyone else gasp behind me,I took off the knife and hastily read the message it said:

                                             Greetings Children of Amos and Tina,

                            I King Randolf have taken your dear mother and father,If you want them back alive,bring to me the one referred to as 'Eragon'   take him to me and you will get your precious parents back.

                                                    Sincerely,

                                                    K.R the III

                                           "Why that no good!"I growled crumpling the paper in my hands. "Whoa,calm down brother, We'll find this Eregon guy,bring him to the king,and get mom and dad back!"Kiba reassured,but it sounded like he was reassuring himself more than me. I herd flapping noises outside "Tell the geese to shut up,"Edward muttered to Kiba as he tried to read the crumpled up letter in my hand. "Uuuuh, Guys, that's not  the geese!" Edward and I turned around,and gaped at the huge Dragons outside. One was a Bronze color and had silver spikes trailing down his back. Another was a sea Greenish color with Blue spikes trailing down his back,and the last one was a Gold color with Bronze colored spikes on his head. I walked out shakily with my brothers and our partners following. The Gold dragon turned to face us "Are you the sons of Amos and Tina Dragnet?" He rumbled,I nodded "Yes we are,"I replied strongly. I wasn't going to let a thirty-foot dragon think I was weak. The Dragon chuckled "So the Elders were right! You are as feisty as they say,"He boomed. Elders? I thought What Elders?.

                                                            CHAPTER TWO

                                                          One of the Chosen Three?

                "Who are you anyway?"I asked suspiciously, "Ah,Right we forgot to introduce ourselves,how rude of us don't you think?"He asked in a kindly manner,He pointed to the Bronze colored Dragon "This is Draco,"He said,Draco nodded to us,Then he pointed to the sea Green Dragon "This is Festus,"the Gold Dragon said. "Hello!" Festus greeted cheerfully,"And I,"The Gold dragon said "Am Eragon," Eragon introduced. "Y-your the one the King wants,"Edward blurted out suddenly. Eregon looked at Edward suddenly,at first I thought he was going to blast him with fire,but he started laughing. "Right young one,King Randolf wants me,because I am a so called 'threat' to him," Eragon replied. "Why?"Kiba asked,Eragon shook his head "The time hasn't come for me to explain young one," Draco replied "Well said Draco,"Eregon said nodding. "Ok! Now is the time to tell you why we've come."Eregaon said loudly. "Festus?"Eragon said "Ok!"Festus said and walked over to stand by Eragon.

                 "You,"Festus started "Are the Chosen Three.". "Chosen three?"I echoed,Festus nodded "Yes." He said but almost in a cheerful manner. I grunted "And what are we chosen for?" I asked pointedly. "Oh,I thought it was pretty obvious," Festus said,Kiba shook his head. "Well," Festus started eagerly as if he was going to tell an epic story. "You three are chosen to kill the dark lord!"He reported. "Us?"Edward sputtered "But,if it's the dark lord..we don't even match up to him! I mean sure Kiba's a good archer,and Travis is a good swordsman,but I don't have anything I'm good at," Edward lowered his head in shame. "Oh,really?" Draco piped up, "Get your crossbow boy," Draco commanded,Edward obeyed and went inside the house,he came out a minute later with a broken crossbow. "It's broken and I can-" Edward started to say as he put the crossbow on the ground. Draco used claw and ordered him to cut wood for him,and in no time,he had a crossbow that was as good as new. . "Shoot that tree,"He ordered "How did you d-" Edward started but Draco ignored him "Do it,"He said more firmly. Edward obeyed,aimed, and shot it to into a hole into the tree which was the target. Draco's face
