fiction piece since high school, I imagined writing a similar scene. Ideas for a short short story: a tobacco paddock, a Coolgardie safe in a peppercorn tree, and a yellow crank-start tractor pumping water out of the creek. I left out the part about the eight snakes I had once passed to get back to this idyllic spot.

Alagaësia, to control the next generation of dragon riders, or men, and elves that are bonded to dragons. They once ruled the land, keeping it peaceful, but were overthrown by an evil king, Galbatorix, who now rules the land.
