Untravelled Sea off of Alagaësia- 3rd P.O.V.
The sea was like an enraged Nïdhwhal, bloodthirsty and dangerous. The Talíta was like a childs toy to the angry sea. Waves bashed the hull, winds sliced the sails, and the sea seemed to moan like the undead. The sea itself was alive, and it craved the living. Lightning flashed nearby, Eragon found himself blinded for a moment, in the moment he was almost flung overboard by a huge wave crashing into the side opposite him. Blödhgarm and the other elves were attempting to take down the main mast, and dump out the water flooding the deck. A truly futile effort.
"Get those masts down!" Bellowed Blödhgarm over the torrential waves and the vicious winds that rocked and battered the Talíta.
The Talíta began to groan from the strain on its wood, and it seemed near eminent of it snapping like a twig in the way of stampeding Tornac's. Saphira was struggling to not be bounced around on the ship, she couldn't fly up to find a safe path through the storm without the immediate risk of being tossed in the air. Eragon gritted his teeth at the predicament.
Only seven hours ago, we were leaving behind our friends and family in Alagaësia under a beautiful nightsky... His heart throbbed a bit as he thought of his last moments with Arya. A single tear developed in his eye that was washed away by the torrential downpour going on around him.
"ERAGON! HELP ME!" Blödhgarm was starting to lose the sail to the wind. Eragon rushed over and grabbed the flailing sail, and began to wrap it up to a handrail so it couldn't blow away.
Suddenly a boom was heard in the watery depths, the waters parted and a titan stood, his waist above the waters, his head touching the storm clouds, that surrounded his head like a crown of destruction. His eyes were pure white and were likely blinding up close. His body was only noticeable in the mere seconds of lightning flashes.
Glaedr spoke, with such fear in his mind
"This...is a god..." Eragon's' eyes widened at the statement. The god pulled from the water, a giant warhammer that seemed to be made from diamond. It raised the warhammer up, and smashed it into the Talíta. All masts snapped, and wrapped around Saphira as the titanic warhammer smashed the ship.
Saphira was unable to escape the fallen masts as the ship sank to the bottomless depths, Blödhgarm and the other elves were knocked out by the main mast as it fell and Eragon himself was blasted into the water by the force of the hammer. As Eragon sank into the dark, stormy depths, he saw the Edlunarí appear outside of his pocket space and begin to fall with them, they pulsed with a glow of magical aura, then nothingness overtook his mind.
Eragon felt his mind regain consciousness and he sent out his mind to check his surroundings. He sensed all the eggs and eldunarí were around him, in a circle. He sensed Blödhgarm and the other elves were scattered closeby, and that Saphira was directly ahead of him. He sensed he was on some kind of grassy plains. Eragon opened his eyes slowly to a clear blue sky, his sat up to see a serene plains that was not possible in Alagaësia, and to see his friends sleeping soundly. He turned to look behind him, to find the Talíta in shambles, its mast reaching to the sky like a dying man. It was an eerie, yet strangely pleasing sight. Eragon stood up slowly, his legs feeling weak and wobbly. He felt to his side and brushed his fingers on the hilt of Brisingr and he sighed slightly until he felt something on his waist. He looked down to find the belt of Beloth the Wise, the same belt he lost during the siege of Dras-Leona. He extended his mind to the belt, and brushed against the energy he stored before he lost it.
"Like a miracle..." He mumbled
Eragon then looked around to get a better view, instead of the quick look around from before. The plains went on as far as the eye could see.
"Reminds me of what the area looked like before the Battle of Burning Plains..." Eragon shook his head lightly before checking out the hull to see if the eggs and Eldunarí were alright. He forced an opening and found all the eggs and Eldunarí were safe and sound. He sighed relieved. He extended his mind out to Glaedr
"Glaedr."
The ancient dragon stirred slightly before responding "What is it Eragon?"
"Do you know where we are by chance?"
"That I do not, this land is foreign to me."
Eragon frowned slightly, but quickly perked up at the possibility that they had found a place to raise the dragons! "
"Glaedr" Eragon reached his mind out to the golden dragon
"What is it now Shadeslayer?"
Eragon wasn't able to express his thoughts in words, so he simply showed the images of what he saw while the ship was sinking.
"Yes, that was the other Eldunarí and I's doing. We couldn't allow our journey to end, so we tapped into our own magic reserves and forcefully took some from you, Saphira, Blödhgarm, and the other elves."
"What exactly did you do?"
"It was meant to be a spell to transport us back to the western coast of Alagaësia...however we are not on Alagaësia..." The golden dragon paused "or in our own world for that matter..."
"If we are not in our world...then...where are we?" Eragon gave a slight frown at the corners of his mouth.
"That, I do not know, but I do know for certain someone or something interfered with the spell."
"Is it someone amongst us?"
"No, but whoever it is, wanted us to come here to this world. The storm now seems to coincidental to have occurred at the same time someone interfered with the transport spell. Almost planned."
"So that means someone is pulling some sort of strings...should we wait and see what occurs for now master??
"Yes, I do believe so my student."

Canterlot Castle- Celestia
The castle was in an uproar, in the early dawn hours a giant beam of light appeared somewhere near Vanhoover, whatever it was, was definitely some sort of powerful magic. Magic so powerful, even in all my long years have nothing to compare it with.
Luna was already in the throne room when I arrived, racking my brain through countless books all morning long to find some sort of recording if a similar event ever occurred. My mane was a mess, it was similar to mornings for my dear student, Twilight Sparkle's' "late night study sessions".
Luna looked my way "Sister! Your mane is a mess! If it gets any worse I'll have to perform a ritual just to fix it!" That made me smile a bit, Luna always knew how to cheer me up a bit no matter the circumstance, a major reason why besides the Nightmare Moon incident, we got along so well.
"I know it is Luna, I was going over different journal entries of high-level magic phenomenon to see if something like this has ever occurred."
"And?"
I shook my head "No, nothing. This is a first-time occurrence."
"Then we should check it out ourselves."
"No, we need to remain here. I'll send a letter to Twilight and her friends for them to check it out. As much as I do want to see it, we both know this is best." A servant rushed passed carrying papers
Luna sighed "I know Tia, I know."
I nod and begin writing the letter.

Golden Oaks- Twilight
"ACHOO!"
"Spike are you alright?" I walked out from one of the back sections of the library, to the kitchen was Spike was. Even though we had the castle library, I can't help but keep coming back.
"Y-yeah, its a letter from the Princess."
I hurriedly took the letter and opened.
Dear my faithful student Twilight,
In the early dawn hours, a magical phenomenon occurred just past Vanhoover. I am asking for you and your friends to investigate immediately. Luna and I are unable. The castle is in an uproar over it, its a mess up in Canterlot. Please hurry, nothing like this has ever happened before. We are unsure what to make of this.
~Celestia
Twilight was shocked. Celestia was clearly worried. She'd always known Celestia to be calm no matter what. It must be extremely serious. To add to that, they were clueless on how to handle it!
"Spike, we need to get everyone together immediatly at the castle. The Princess has a job for us to accomplish on a national welfare basis."
Spike blinked surprised
"Now Spike!" He shook it off and nodded and rushed out to get everyone as I rushed to the castle to get supplies we would need, and wait for their arrival
"Could that light in the horizon be the phenomenon? I thought I sensed magic...but there was so much in between here and there that I wrote it off as pure coincidence..." I reached my castle and zoomed around grabbing food, water, books on the area, and anything else I thought we might need.
Not much later, everyone arrived. It was time to get to work.
I walked into the throne room, where Spike and the others waited to hear what we had to do.

Deepest part of Tartarus- Unknown
Two hooded figures speak in the utter darkness of the pits.
"So they have arrived?"
"Yes my lord."
"Good, good, all is going to plan."
"When shall we start?"
"Once our guest is done piecing himself back together..."
"You mean Tir-"
"DON'T SPEAK THE NAME! We never know who else could be listening."
"My lord this is Tartarus, who would dare venture here unless to throw a criminal in a cell?"
"My dear servant, you know nothing then. Eyes and ears exist in the most unlikely places."
"My apologies my lord."
"You are pardoned, don't make the same mistake twice"
"Of course."
"We won't start the plan yet however, begin making the necessary preparations. Once he is done, I want to start immediately."
"Of course." The hooded figure referred to as a servant disappears.
"Soon Eragon Bromsson, I will have rule over your life." The other hooded figure disappears.
