Chapter 8: King of Dragons Eragon, First of His name!

I was born to rule! As I'm the most powerful creature in this world. Everything in this world belongs to me and I'm the one who decides your fate. If I want you dead you will be burned and turned into ashes instantly. If I want to torture you, you will be forever burned throught eternity in a hellfire. I'm Eragon, the King of dragons.

When I was born I was surrounded by my loyal subjects who kneeled before me. Even as a newborn I terrified others. No creature could ever look straight into my eyes. Those useless lizards were too weak. But because they knew how to respect others I left them live. From them I knew there were powerful creatures that called themselves Wyverns. Those Wyverns piqued my interest. After just being born I rested a bit and then I let one of my subjects to lead me to those so called Wyverns.

I easily arrived at the house of those Wyverns and roared. Those useless Wyverns exited their hiding spots and accepted my challenge.

There were total of eleven of them. They were so ugly I couldn't even look at them. They only had two legs and they looked quite ugly. Even my servants were more beautiful than them. The leader of the Wyverns roared and attacked me. He was quite fast and tried to bite my neck. But it was useless his tooth couldn't even penetrate my scales. Even thought his bite is weak I can't just let him do anything he wants. As the King how could I let those freaks of nature dirty my beautiful scales.

I too attacked him with a bite, with just one bite I devoured huge chunk of his flesh. After tasting him I was quite disappointed. His flesh was as tasteless as he was ugly. I looked at him and from his eyes I could see his fear of my majestic power. That Wyvern took a deep breath and released a wave of fire from his mouth. I didn't even dodge his attack as how could fire hurt me. And as I imagined fire is useless against one who controls every fire in this world. This annoying Wyvern is quite stupid. To show the real power of fire I took a deep breath and released a true essence of fire towards him. He couldn't withstand my fire and was burned into ashes.

Terrified of my power they all kneeled before me. They are far stronger than my subjects so I let them live. Even thought they were ugly they could still be good servants if trained correctly. Then my eyes landed on a majestic tree.

Before coming here I was already shocked by its beauty. I decided to conquer it. Everything beautiful has to be mine. Only as my possession it could be fully appreciated. This tree would be my home, the majestic King needs a majestic place to live. And only place that could be my home has to be as beautiful as this tree.

Now I'm heading at the peak of the tree to build my nest there. When I was reaching the peak some ant caught my attention. He was a little creature who stood at the branch of my Tree. How could he defile my house with. His presence. He had to know his place.

I took a deep breath and released a fire breath that was more powerful than ever before. All of it targeting that puny creature. When I did so something shocking happened, he was uninjured from my attack.

I looked at him and said, "You puny creature, you're quite strong. Come under me and serve me! If you serve me with great loyalty I could consider to leave you alive!"

That creature looked at me and answered, "You could talk? You're the first creature that I met who could talk. As expected from a dragon!"

His words made me angry. How could he just ignore my words. I looked at him and said, "Kneel before me you puny creature or I'll show you what an eternal torture means!"

He asked me, "Then can you show me an eternal torture?"

This totally enraged me. How could this puny creature talk like that to me. The King. As the King I couldn't let this happen. I concentrated all of my power towards my moth and spewed the wave of dark flame that incinerated air itself. It grew bigger as it was nearing that puny creature. Even I would be injured when that terrifying flame landed on me and that puny creature would die.

When the fire breath was near that puny creature. He laughed and that terrifying fire turned into ice. That's not all that ice then was coming towards me. I tried to dodge it but it was far faster than me. The gigantic piece of ice landed on my body pushing me far away. Terrifying feeling was now being released from that creature. This was first time I felt it, the feeling of weakness. My instincts told me to run away. I could never beat him. He is the monster.

He looked at me and asked, "Is this what you call eternal torture. I'm unimpressed. Go away and grow. When you're really strong you could come and fight me again. But I really doubt you could get stronger then me!"

After he said that I was sent flying with just his punch.

I was born to rule! As I'm the most powerful creature in this world. Everything in this world belongs to me and I'm the one who decides your fate. Even thought I now lost to him I will grow and avenge. I will burn him until he turns to ashes and this would be my revenge. I'm Eragon, the king of all dragons and first of his name. I'm the most powerful creature that ever existed and soon you'll know it too. But then it will be too late for you to beg me.
