You are in the Phantom forest, training (your specialty) on a dead tree stump. As you train, beads of sweat trickle down your face. You have spent 2 hours out here training, and you feel your muscles/mind ache. so you decide to end your session for today. as you walk back along the stag path, something catches your eye, nothing you've seen before. as you walk up to it, you see a glow emitting from the source of the light, when suddenly the thing jumps at you, and buries itself into the right palm of your hand. you cry out in shock, but not pain, as it doesn't hurt, just tingles a little. as you look at your right palm, you are surprised there is no broken bones, nonetheless blood. you feel a little faint, and you try to dig it out of your hand, as you touch it with your left, you feel heat emitting from the thing in your palm, when suddenly it glows brighter, and there is more heat. then you touch it, and everything goes black.


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
