Introduction
you wake up in your room, dazzled by how light you feel, when you think "why the hell- how the- what? how am i in my room?" you get up out of your bed, and you automatically look to your right palm, and gasp. your whole hand is black. you scream in terror, but nothing comes out, but you sound like a retarded mule, and you shut your mouth. as you look closer at your hand, you see the floor below it, your hand is transparent! like obsidian. as you wonder what to do with it, it starts glowing again. you stare at it, bewildered by how beautiful it looks, then you remember, ITS YOUR FUCKING HAND!! this isn't normal!! as you think, you absentmindedly put your black hand on a wooden chair, and it freezes instantly, and the heat in your hand subsides, and you recoil, looking at the chair in amazement, but also in despair. you made that chair, and it took you 2 crop seasons to make, it was your favorite chair. you frown is dismay at the sparkly frozen artifact you just made. as you pick it up to throw it outside, you wonder, "what would happen if i sat in it?" then you wonder why you even thought that. you laugh out loud as your stupidity, and your laughing so hard, you have to sit down, and you sit on the frozen wood. you cry in shock as your buttox gets cold almost instantly, and you see, in awe, that where you sat, the ice has thawed. you look at your butt, and see no marks of ice ever being there. you need to cover up this hand, you think. so you find a pair of gloves, despite it being the middle of sun season, put them on. to your amazement, the glove dosent freeze. you suddenly wonder if you can flex your hand at all, and you try- it flexes like any normal hand would. so as you try to think of what to do with it, you might as well go to the market to get some provisions.
as you step outside, you see that the sun is just rising in the east, perfect time to go out. you walk to the marketplace, and you see the people busy doing their daily routines. you greet the ones you know, and get on with your day. you check your hand, it looks just as it was when you put gloves on. you sigh with relief, and see someone watching you, a kid of about 13. he look at you with a curious face, and you hurry your pace, hoping he didn't see your abnormal hand. you reach the butcher's shop, and open the door. there are about 5 others in there, none you know. you walk up to the butchers table see him under the table, and greet him with a "good morning." he grunts in reply, and you ask for your provisions. he looks over the desk at you, and recognizes you. "ahh! mr.(last name)! how good to see you!" he reaches his hand out in greeting, and you hesitate. he sees your motion, and looks at your hands. he asks why you have gloves on, and you fumble for an answer, finally saying "uh.. um. i was chopping down trees for fire wood..." he frowns, then shrugs it off, and hands you your normal provisions. you thank him, take the provisions, and hurry out the door without looking over your shoulder. as you hurry out, you bump into someone, that boy you saw looking at you. at a closer look, you see his face, matted with dirt. he looks like he hasn't eaten in ages. you feel bad for the kid, and give him a half lump of cheese from your provisions. as you give it to him, he suddenly rips off your right glove, and gasps. its glowing slightly now, but you dont want anyone to see it. you quickly grab the glove back, but he runs off. a small group has gathered from all the commotion. they all see your obsidian-like hand, and gasp in awe. you hide your hand and run through the crowd, scaring a couple of them in the process, and run back to your home in the forest, never looking back
after you got home, panting, you throw the provisions in the cupboard, careful not to touch them with your right hand, and decide to sleep it off.
you check yourself in the mirror, and you dont see yourself, but a wise looking man. you jump back in surprise, knocking over the chair you froze in the process. you set it back up, and you stare at the mirror, and the man moves his face toward the mirror, and his head pops through the glass, and you fall back yet again, looking for something to throw at him, but something holds you in place, forcefully, you do not have any will to move. so you just lay there staring at the man. "you are a troublesome little shit, you are." he remarks. then, he steps all the way through the glass, moving like a ripple of a wave, except someone steps through behind him too, but you dont get a good look at the stranger. you suddenly feel in control of your body again, and you scramble to your feet, in a ready position. whoever these guys are, they mean trouble, you think. the first man sees your hand, and grins widely. "this is him" he says, and asks you your name. you say it. and he nods. "i am Eragon, and this is my accomplice, Gertude" and then Gertrude steps out from behind Eragon, and she nods in your direction. she looks wise as well, you think, and you relax a little. "we have come here, because the Enweai calls us." Eragon gestures to your hand, and you look at it, puzzled. you ask, "what is..... Enweai?" and he bows his head and shakes. "you have a lot to learn, my friend."
a little time later, Eragon suggests we sit at your table, looking wearily at the frozen chair, then at your hand. you all sit at the table, and you ask Eragon, "why are you here? why is my hand like this? whats happening to me?!" Gertrude, for the first time meeting her, says "all your questions will be answered in due time, just let us explain" Eragon nods in approval "yes.. but lets first start at explaining to you what Enwai is. first off, i should tell you that what is in your hand can not kill you, but it can to others. have you balled up your hand in a fist yet?" you shake your head "well then dont, unless its absolutely necessary. your hand can create enormous power, and it could obliterate this whole house, if you had the will." he looks outside, and frowns. "oh dear, it seems that we must be going. we came a little too late." you sigh in relief as they leave the table. you ponder about going to sleep, when Eragon says, "oh, you will be coming with us. bring good clothes, a few weapons, and books if you must, and equipment. you, are going to meet the others" and then, you feel sleepy. you fall to the ground as Eragon picks you up, and walks towards your bed. you black out, last seeing your bed, and the frozen chair

after your done eating, Elfangor brings you to the mirror. "i am going to bring you to some training grounds." as he takes off his gloves- you havent noticed them until now- you gasp, he has the same colored hand as you do, and he touches the mirror, it ripples, and a cave appears. "you take care of the gouse now, ok gertrude?" you hear a muffled "ok" as you are pulled through the mirror, and in front of a cave. in the cave, you see 3 goblins. "your training starts now, alpha" as Elfangor summons a fire elemental, and lets it shoot fire out of its mouth at the 3 goblins. you hear 3 cries as they die, right there in place. you hear more voices inside the cave, and 4 more goblins come out. "nows your time to kill them ALPHA"

*2 hobgoblins*
#1: i just heard something outside the cave! sounded like a tree falling down!
#2 aw crap. lets go check it out
they go check it out, and outside, they see a girl in a short skirt and leather plated armor looking dumbfoundedly at an old man next to a tree, except the tree is alive. they take out their swords, and run towards the girl, just a the old man realizes them.
*elfangor*
"oh crap!" he says, just as 2 hobgoblins run towards alpha. "go! treeant! kill them!" as the ent lumbers towards the hobgoblins, they look up at it in horror, just as the ent swipes down at them, and knocks them into the wall, and 6 more goblins come out, weilding torches. alpha has run aside elfangor by now, and shoots 2 of the 6, just as the goblins throw their torches at the living ent. it catches fire, and elfangor summons a fire elemental from the torches the goblins wield, and 3 of the 4 goblins die on spot, the 4th one running into the cave. elfangor looks at alpha, and says "get ready, because we are gonna have about 10 more on our hands".

as they both walk into the cave they see that the walls are ridden with torches, so theres no need for firelight, and they hear more voices. "quick, into this room!" elfangor says. and when they get into the room, they gasp. this is the treasure room! elfangor gasps at the sight, then strokes his beard, like a wise old man would do." well, this is just what we need!" he exclaims, and finds a pair of leather bracers, and throws them to alpha." here, these are for your wrists, and OH A CLOAK!" he hands it to alpha, and when she puts it on, she blends in with the rockface.
"oh my dear god, its a camouflaged cloak! and here! a sword and-a-half! i need this." and as they look more, they each find 200 gold pieces!
as elfangor looks around more, he starts to calm down, and the voices grow greater. he puts most of the useful stuff into his water elementals pack. and he hands alpha some sneaky boots, and a better mithril dagger, which alpha puts in her pack. and they step out of the room, just in time to meet 5 goblins, and a chaos dwarf, all of them wielding swords. "get ready for the fight of your life, kiddo" and he kires a bold of fire out of his staff at the charging monsters

" well. that was quite a fight. you did great there alpha." as elfangor looks at his own hand, he sees it glowing profusely, and murmurs a spell, and points his hand towards the entrance of the cave, and a wave of energy goes flying out. he looks at alphas hand, and sees it glowing too." you really should dissipate that, or else you might pass out again. say these words." as he says the words, he looks down the hall, and sees no more monsters. he loots all the bodies: you both gain 300 copper." well, we should get going deeper, like i said. whats in here might save your life." and they walk deeper into the cave.

and elfangor moved toward them, and picked them up. he handed them to Alpha, and she put them on. they searched the pile of treasure, and found more valuables.
*pick your choice of 5 things, 2 of them can be enchanted with magic*
*Troll*

the troll hears screaming down the hall, as he lumbers silently down it, having trouble squeezing into the small fit. he wants to eat them, and he sees them, he smiles, and lets out a blood curdling roar. "NOW, YOU ARE MINE!!!!" and swipes down.
*elfangor*
Elfangor jumps as he hears the cry of the troll behind him, he was too fixed on listening to Alpha be happy. when he turns around, its almsot too late to jump out of the way, as the huge hand swipes down. "ALPHA! HELP!" he yells to alpha, as he summons a fire elemental from the torches around him, but instead of making one, the fire swirls around him, and it engulfs him in flame, and he draws his sword-and-a-half, as his molten body comes to life. "you will not TOUCH the girl!" he yells, and breathes fire onto the troll. it hits the troll in the face and it back off a little, but then smashes his fist down in the entrance to the treasury, and elfangor barely jumps away before the ground under him is smashed by the beast. he jumps up his arm and slices his face and jabs on his tongue with his sword and a half and punches his face with a mighty fiery fist. the troll scrams in anger as he starts to bleed, but it just makes him angrier, and he swipes at elfangor, and hits him into a wall, his own flying off his arm to saftey. elfangor groans "Alpha.... kill.. it.." as he pulls a potion out of his pack to heal up "remember, your hand!" he coughs.

the tiny archer looks like tough meat, but as it moves across the ground, the troll slams down next to it after it fires 6 shots in rapid succession, and then 3 shots into the chest, the troll screams as it dies.
sunuva bitch alpha haha
*elfangor*
elfangor looks in pained eyes as she fends off, and, to his astonishment, kills the troll! he smiles as he slumps down to the ground, the potion taking effect. "good job......Alpha..." as he falls asleep
when elfangor wakes up, alpha is standing over his with a worried face, and she sighs when he looks up at her and smiles. "im proud of you alpha" he says with a dry mouth, and he drinks some water. "you are surprisingly strong. i appreciate your help" then he sees his owl on a perch next to the wolf pup. he laughs, and says" thats a cute wolf pup you got there" and he starts to stand, but falls down. "help me up alpha, i think i have a couple of cracked ribs." she helps him up, and they go towards the pets. he scratches the pups head, and tears off a part of the troll to feed the owl. the owl gobbles it up without hesitation, and Elfangor is amused. then, to his even increasing amusement, sees a mirror in the pile of loot. "we can use this to get back to your house, Alpha." and, with a quick mutter of magic, summons forth a portal to the house in the forest. but what they see there, tears elfangor and Alpha apart
dead bodies everywhere, and no sign of gertrude.
