//------------------------------// // The History of Equestria Part 4 finale // Story: The Seven Riders of Equestria // by Failsafe99 //------------------------------// "What was so special about the ruby, that it deserved mention?" Bulks Biceps said this as he was leaning forward with rapt attention, as was the rest of the class. "Well, the ruby was carved into a most beautiful rose blossom, so with it's destruction, the dwarven race was shook from it's loss. They didn't move a single piece of it for the next three days. Eragon, after the battle, was mentally breaking down in a small coma, due to severe exhaustion, and the memories of Durza were breaking him. He was saved by a being calling itself Togira Ilkonoka in the ancient language, or The Cripple who is Whole in English. "after he was saved, he woke up, and his back caused him pain if he stretched to much or strained himself to hard. I am sorry class I am going to have to give you the abridged version, as we are running out of time for class, so in short, Saphira fixed the rose, Eragon got revenge on the Raz'ac, Roran finally got an answer for his fathers death, Murtagh was forced to serve Galbatorix, who then killed the dwarven king Hrothgar, and slew Eragon's teacher, the previously mentioned Oromis, and his dragon Glaedr. The Varden eventually marched upon the Empire, the captured many cities, Roran married the girl of his dreams, a woman named Katrina, and Eragon found out that their was a stash of eggs hidden from Galbatorix on the island of Doru Araeba. "He also found out that Murtagh was his half brother, but only after they thought that he was also the son of Morzan, alongside Murtagh. His father was eventually reveled to him to be Brom, as Brom had fallen in love with Morzan's wife, a woman named Selena. Murtagh took his fathers sword from Eragon, Zar'oc, as the blade was rightfully his. Eragon made a new blade that was cooler, and named it Brisingr, after the spell that had saved his life so many times. Arya eventually killed herself a shade, and took up the mantle of Princess of the elves, and shadeslayer, as shades are super hard to kill. After the Battle of Farthen Dur, Ajihad died, and his daughter, Nasuada, took his place as leader of the Varden. Now, before you ask me Rainbow Dash, no. I am not the same Ajihad. The events I am speaking of happened thousands of years ago. "Eventually, Eragon, the Varden, the Urgals, the Werecats, the dwarves, and the elves made it to the city of Uru'baen, the capitol city of the Empire. Their, Eragon fought with Galbatorix, and during the battle, finally managed to kill Galbatorix. Later, Nasuada became Queen, and then, Eragon left Alagaesia, never to return. He left everything behind. Arya, the princess he had fallen in love with, but rebuffed him,for she put her people above herself. His brother Roran, he gave him the gold to build a grand hall on the mountains of the Spine. His adopted brother from the dwarves, the king after Hrothgar died, Orik Trifksson, he left everything behind. He sailed beyond the Hadarac Dessert, which is the dessert that Los Pegasus and other city are built in. And this is where we get to new history. "After Eragon left, he built a new dragon riders school, so that the new riders, that consisted of all races after Eragon once more changed the pact of the dragons, and after a time years passed. The people, during the cleanup of Galbatorix's storeroom, found an odd stone monolith, but thought nothing of it, as it was just a block of stone. They soon forgot about it. More time passed, and Nasuada finally had a child, though noone knew who the father was." "You know, I remember my grandfather once talking about my eighth great grandmother at one point. He said that her name was Nasuada, and that she had become Queen of someplace. Do you think it could be the same place." Rarity chimes in, making the class slightly peeved at her for interrupting, though interested in what she said. Mr. Had shrugged his shoulders, saying "It is highly possible, though nowadays it is almost impossible to trace your lineage. However, I will try to make some headway on it if you would like, Miss Rarity." "If you could please, darling. Oh, oops, sorry about that." she says sheepishly, feeling like an idiot for calling a teacher darling. Mr. Had chuckles to himself, stating" It's perfectly fine, Rarity. Don't worry about calling me that. You can speak to me however you want my dear. That goes for the rest of you class, not just Miss Rarity here." "Now back to the story. After a long time, someone else became elected Queen after Nasuada retired her crown. The new king, while still a very kind person like Nasuada, was looked upon with more distrust than Nasuada, as Galbatorix still left a black mark on everyone's heart. His rule was semi-long, but he was just. However, and through no fault of this king, the people saw a queen as a better idea for their monarchy. So as time went by, they chose queen after queen, up until about 250 years ago, when the monolith gave of a bright flash, and through it, came Tirek. Before this time, the Urgals had grown tired of the hatred that still persisted, even after Eragon had tried to help them, and had left to sail back across the sea, to their old homeland. "The dwarves still stood, but the new king after Orik, had a certain dislike of humans, and had slowly been withdrawing his people from across the empire. Both took their respective riders with them. After Tirek emerged from the stone monolith, chaos ensued, and before the world new it, he had staked his claim on all of Alagaesia, naming it Equis. After this, the dwarves pulled out, including their dragons. They closed off their mountain entrances and disappeared into the Beors. Tirek then slaughtered the new riders, elven and human alike, and they were no match for him. As you know, Tirek can "eat" other peoples magical energy. When he got here, he had already gained to much power. The strongest of spells the riders knew did little to nothing against him. "And so they fell. After that, everything that has happened, can be found in your history books." As he says this, Sunset Shimmer feels the magical energy suddenly lift, and as it does the bell rings, signaling the end of class. "Okay everyone, good story. Remember, tomorrow is the trip into the Everfree, to hopefully have a peaceful weakened field trip. Remember to bring your identification papers, as I would hate to start this trip on a very sour note. Have a great rest of your day. Sunset Shimmer, can you stay for a moment please. I would like to talk to you for a second." Sunset reluctantly holding back to talk to Mr. Had. After Everyone had left, he finally said "I hope you wont tell Principal Celestia about what i did back there, with the time spell." "How could you tell that I had discovered you? You were looking right at me when I looked up."she says, looking at the teacher in front of her with a questioning gaze. "Let's just say I have my ways. Now head along to your next class. I hope this will stay between us right." He says looking after Sunset as she heads to the door. She turns around and looks at him, before nodding her head and leaving. Mr. Had then turns to his new class, which had come in while they had been talking, and said, "I am your new Teacher. My name is on the board, but I doubt any of you can pronounce that, through no fault of your own, being it is hard to say. Saying that, please call me Mr. Had, which is part of my first name. Let me tell you a story. "In the beginning, there was dragons."
