Part 9: The Northern edge of Alagaësia

 The next day, they wake up early.  They say "good morning" to each other.  Then they set up a fire to make breakfast.  They make some stew and put the stew on bread.  After finished breakfast, they put the saddles on the dragons' back.  Then, they climb on Saphira's and Firnen's back.  Eragon and Arya start to decide to observe where first.  "There are many mountains on the north side.  I think there may have a place that is suitable for the dragons, dragon eggs.  I think the rider can train there too.  We can build more houses near Master Oromis's house to let the riders live there when they need to stay in Ellesméra," Arya suggests.  Eragon answers, "It is a good idea.  However, we need to assure that the mountains are suitable for the dragons, the dragon eggs and the riders first."  After that, they tell their dragons to fly towards the mountains.  

After a few minutes of flying, they reach the edge of the mountains.  Eragon's and Arya's eyes widen.  They think, "The mountains are really high!  They are as high as the Beor Mountains!  Maybe even higher!  Only dragons can fly above the higher mountains inside!  There may be suitable for the dragons, the dragon eggs and the riders."  Eragon and Arya are both very excited.  They tell Saphira and Firnen to fly near the mountains inside.  The dragons suddenly climb up quickly.  After 10 minutes, they arrive there.  They land on the top of the hill.  They look downward to the other mountains near the forest.  The view is really fantastic.  They find a basin.  It is located near the mountain they are standing on.  The basin is pretty large.  The basin is big enough for more than twenty dragons to stay there.  "We can set up a dragon riders' city here and train the riders and the dragons here,"  Arya says to Eragon.  Eragon says, "Hmmm...That is a good idea.  I think we should go down to the basin to make sure that place is suitable for dragons, dragon eggs and the riders."  

They climb on their dragons again.  The dragons take off and fly to the basin.  They land after about a minute.  They climb down from the dragons' back and observe the environment.  There aren't many plants in the basin.  They don't need to cut down too many trees to build a city.  Arya says, "Although there may not have enough place for training we can observe if somewhere nearby can build another city to fit the dragons later when it is needed."  Eragon agrees.  They observe the basin for some more time.  Then, they climb on their dragons' back again and the dragons take off.  They fly above the mountains and look downward to find is there another basin.  There is another basin nearby.  The basin is about half a kilometre away from the basin they found before.  It is much larger than the last one.  It can contain more than eighty dragons.  After they saw the basin, they decide to go there to observe that basin.
