Interested in a discord?

I'm curious if you guys would want something like that. Tbh, it'd be for me as much as anyone else. Sometimes a feel a desire to just vent about some video game or story. I always used reddit, but it's a hate-hate relationship that I want to put a permanent end to. Ofc, there's always discords for whatever I'm interested im at the time, but the ...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 26)

Drawing closer to Teirm, they encountered more travelers. Brom purchased a mule from a trio of men in poor straits. As it was, entering the city with two mounts between the three of them was bound to be suspicious.

Saphira didn’t like it, but with no other choice, she’d been relegated to the rear, her flights with Eragon coming to an e...

Revising chapters

Going back and reading some of my stuff, I'm seeing some issues that might crop up in the future or things I plainly don't like. The part where Cedric suddenly gets horny for dragon was especially jarring. I'm going to be cutting out that part as well as whatever else is bugging me.

I didn't want to do this because it'll inevitably result ...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 25)

Shocked and disoriented, Eragon stumbled backward. Blood streamed from his nose as he waved his arms futilely, looking for purchase. He found none, but fortunately Brom was there to support him.

“Tilt your head back and pinch your nose, it’ll stop the bleeding. Damn that kid, he could’ve held back a little-…! Don’t be discouraged...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 24)

That next morning, when Cedric crawled out of the stump, he almost had a heart-attack from surprise. The first thing he saw was an enormous, azure-scaled reptilian head with silvery, mirror-like eyes.

It stared down at him condescendingly.

“What the hell! Why are you here?”

‘They are getting ready to leave, yet you have n...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 23)

Saphira’s displeasure was predictable—it seemed she hadn’t anticipated his request. Nevertheless, after a bit of bargaining, an agreement was reached. She would provide Cedric with blood and scales—no more, by her insistence and no less, by his.

Their parley ended a few hours before dawn, separating while nursing their thoughts. Af...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 22)

It was late, the sun already having set. As was their custom, Brom, Cedric, Eragon and Saphira huddled around a campfire. Figures of flame danced over the glowing coals, adding a hint of mystery to the atmosphere.

The old rider was already asleep, curled up in his hide bedroll. The healing took its toll, sapping his body’s reserves.

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 21)

Still jittery from adrenaline, Cedric breathed shakily, trying to calm himself. Since it was his first real fight, his reaction wasn’t surprising.

“Gods, Brom, you’re hurt!”

Suddenly, Eragon’s distressed voice sounded from ahead. He had his hand on Brom’s shoulder, scrabbling clumsily at the leather vest and shirt coverin...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 20)

Somehow, that next morning, the atmosphere was even worse than the night before. Eragon found himself walking on eggshells around both Cedric and Brom. Unable to do anything about it, he was only too glad when the time came to mount Saphira, taking to the skies.

‘I don’t like him.’

Soaring above the clouds, savoring the rushing...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 19)

The next day, Brom and Cedric rode the two horses while Eragon flew on Saphira. Apparently, she’d carried the young, unconscious mage to Therinsford—Carvahall’s closest neighbor, and one renowned for its stables. Brom purchased the horses, along with supplies for their journey.

The route they’d be taking hugged the Spine, travellin...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 18)

During the three-month period since Eragon discovering the egg and the Ra’zac’s departure, winter turned to spring. However, though the snow was melting, the air still carried a biting chill. Cutting winds, like paper-thin blades of ice, blew in dark clouds from the north, and with them, downfalls that were more sleet than rain.

It was...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 17)

Cutlery clattered against bowls and plates as Cedric and Brom had their breakfast. The atmosphere was uncomfortable and devoid of conversation. Over the past few days, Cedric’s ‘transgressions’ had been addressed time and time again, but the boy was unrepentant.

His attitude enraged Brom, but there was little he could do. The lad was...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 16)

--------------------------------------------------------------

The following days passed uneventfully. Eragon and Cedric continued their training under Brom, but something was different. For one, the young dragon rider was a lot… moodier than before. It was understandable. The dangers associated with his status were, until now, distant....

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 15)

----------------------------

Cedric’s prediction turned out correct—it was a week before the Ra’zac moved on, unable to find the slightest clue regarding the egg. To say those seven days were stressful was an extreme understatement. Not only he, but the rest of the villagers lived in a state of constant terror, the sword of Damocles...

Transitioning to subscribestar

Hello guys. Some of you who've been around for a few months or longer will remember me making a post about having issues with patreon. As of now, I'm formally starting my transition to subscribestar. I will be winding down my activity on Patreon. I do apologize to you all for the inconvenience, but as I said at that time, I was paying a lot more...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 14)

Draped in black cloth, contorted and bowed, the two hunchbacked strangers cornered Cedric behind a secluded storage shed. They appeared out of nowhere, making no sound to alert him, entirely escaping his telepathic field.

Caught off guard, his heart hammered in his chest, his mouth feeling like it was full of sand. To read about the Ra’z...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 13)

One month after the egg’s hatching, a pair of hooded strangers showed up, looking for it. At that time, Cedric and Brom were sitting at a small wooden table, discussing the matter.

“…you did what?!”

The old rider got to his feet, shouting furiously. The gaze he directed at his apprentice was scorching with anger, disbelief, d...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 12)

In the following days, the little party of four spent a lot of time together. Eragon and Saphira were trained by Brom, while Cedric was… present. After his previous disobedience, the old rider wouldn’t let his apprentice out of his sight. Forced to ‘reflect’ on his behavior, he could barely sit or stand without being watched like a hawk....

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 11)

Brom only showed up the next day, after noon. He looked, well… not like the person Cedric had gotten to know, seeming ten years younger and in an annoyingly good mood.

The boy wasn’t too surprised—in the novel, when Brom met Saphira for the first time, he literally cried tears of joy. It was somewhat understandable, given the events ...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 10)

Cedric and Eragon stood in a clearing. Nothing was there, but it was obvious something called the place home. Not only was the brush trodden, bark scratched and twigs snapped, but some kind of nest hung in one of the trees, animal bones scattered below.

“…that’s… not a bird. Some type of mountain cat, perhaps? But they don...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 9)

That night, the villagers and traders gathered in the local inn, discussing politics and exchanging stories. Nearly everyone was there, including Cedric and Brom, though the boy was alone in a corner.

With his butt in a chair and boots on a table, he reflected on today’s events. His concerns were indeed justified—that Brom’s tutelage...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 8)

As time passed, Cedric started feeling the effects. However, it wasn’t anything crazy. There was a slight warm sensation in his chest, calmness, and a general feeling of well-being. All-in-all, not a failure, but neither did it do what he intended.

Without much hesitation, he prepared another serving, but upping the dose. Because of how ...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 7)

For a few years, Cedric contemplated whether or not to touch Saphira’s egg, see if it would hatch for him. However, despite the tremendous power boost he’d get from being a rider, the idea was incredibly off-putting.

He struggled to justify his knee-jerk emotional reaction. Even when mind-melded with the dragon, he’d still be able to...

Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Chapter 6)

After wandering around for a bit, Cedric soon realized he had little interest in the goings-on. Eragon’s return was really bugging him, and the fact that he hadn’t decided on a course of action only added to his stress. So he did what he always did when he couldn’t solve a problem—make it someone else’s.

It wasn’t too hard to f...

No Titty (Eragon, Inheritance Cycle SI Chapter 5)

Cedric and Brom sat across from each other, a small, round table between them. Few words were exchanged since the storyteller ‘persuaded’ Cedric to move in with him.

He went along, all but kicking and screaming. However, it was only possible to make so much of a fuss before looking suspicious. Especially with the pressure from other vi...

Still no title (Eragon/ Inheritance Cycle SI Chapter 4)

When Fitch started speaking, it wasn’t about Cedric’s father, Merlin, but about the boy himself.

“When you were about two years old, you came down with lung-fever. Was the worst case I ever saw—it’s a miracle you survived, really.”

The old man brought his lips to his fingers, searching habitually for his pipe, only to fin...

Title? (Eragon SI, Chapter 3)

Despite Cedric’s pleadings, Garrow had a talk with Fitch about the ‘incident’. The sickly old man was understandably upset, extracting a promise from his grandson that the boy wouldn’t wander about on his own, at least not until he was older and more sensible.

It was really inconvenient, but with no choice, Cedric could only agree....

Placeholder Title (Eragon SI, Chapter 2)

In retrospect, Cedric realized just how much of a tool he was. It was so embarrassing, just recalling the details of his ‘genius’ plan was enough to make him feel physically ill. Painting with a broad brush, it involved ice cold water, asphyxiation and two days of not eating to get his blood pressure down.

In a waist-deep winter stream...

Placeholder Title (Eragon/ Inheritance Cycle SI)

Hello guys. Here's another example of my inability to commit to anything in life. Another fanfic *smh*. The Eragon books were something I enjoyed as a kid, though it wasn't really my favorite fantasy series. Still, I've been reading fantasy novels again since there's nothing on TV and I'm not really into any games at the moment.

<...

Update

Sorry for the silence, fellas. Work is keeping me busy, was tired and didn't write. I'll get back into the swing of things this week, hopefully I can keep a good schedule. Don't want to make any promises, I disappointed you guys in the past, but 1 chap/ 2 days should be possible.
