There was a warrior named Felix he committed an offense against the queen of Eragon and he was sent out of the kingdom for many years, he later decided to travel back to Eragon because he swore an oath to her late father to protect her with all his life. Felix was accompanied by a dwarf, they both met at netherland which they were taken as slaves.
They both planned to escape from their masters and their plans was successful, this is how they started traveling back to Eragon. The dwarf which his name is Titus didn't returned back to his home town, he decided to travel with Felix to Eragon and this is because he killed his father the king of Tyrus and since then his sister has been hunting him down.
Titus is the shortest in his family and everyone disliked him for that apart from his brother who treated his as human, when the king of Tyrus was alive he hated Titus and treated him like animal.
His father disliked him so much that he accused Titus of a crime he didn't committed, this became a thorn in Titus flesh. He was accused of treason and he will also be killed by hanging the next day by sunset, Titus was helplessly thinking of what to do and that was when the thought of killing his father flashed in the mind of Titus.
He tried to think of another way but there was no other way, it was an hard burden for him to bare and it was only the only chance for him to gain his freedom. A night before the day Titus would be executed, the king was drinking a good wine inside his room and sitting down on his couch with a pale face.
Then Titus came inside his father's room with a knife in his hand,his father the king was facing backwards to the entrance of the door when he came in and he said with a polite manner "father is executing me the only best option for you to take?". And his father answered without looking backwards and said "you little dwarf you must pay for the sins you committed", the response of his father pained him because he is still accusing him for the sins he didn't committed.
He moved closer to the king and struck his throat with the knife in his hand without the king noticing his movement, he rushed his father and held him. He was mad at himself and tears roll down his eyes and when he was still sitting on the floor with his father in his hand, his sister entered the room wanting to tell her father the king about the new development but she was astonished at her sight.
And she shouted in a loud tone and said "you little dwarf what have done?" And she rushed and grabbed her father, she didn't focus on the dwarf that time because she was so pained and was also crying at that moment. So the dwarf grabbed the opportunity and escaped from the palace without anyone noticing, he already planned his way to escape before killing his father everything was successful but his sister kept hunting him down.
She hired many assassins to kill him but her brother the dwarf keeps on escaping from all her agendas towards him, on the contrary he was arrested and taken as a slave in the netherland and that was were he met Felix.
The both of them continued to travel, while traveling they got to a stream and they decided to drink water from there, they started a conversation that leaded to quarreling and this made Felix annoyed. Felix told Titus to leave him alone and that they should go there separate ways, while they were arguing they didn't notice that they a ship was coming directly to them.
They weren't paying attention at all, the people who is inside the ship are slave traders. They were ambushed by the slave traders and the both of them were chained together, when they took them to their destination, the leader of the slave traders said "this is Jaden Felix he is a great warrior, he fought side to side with the dragon king and he defeated Zaka in a mere combat" and he told them that he would be sold for sixteen box, then a man in the crowd offers to pay twenty box and the leader gave Felix to him and also handed over the key to him. So the man took Felix and started moving, that was when the dwarf shouted and said "I am also a warrior, you should buy me too, we are partners" and all of them started to laugh and made fun of him.
They was a slave trader who held the chain they used to chain the dwarf and he was also laughing mysteriously and that made the dwarf angry, the dwarf pulled the chain that was linking him and the slave trader down and he fell. He started kicking him until he was exhausted and the slave trader was lying helplessly on the floor, so the man that bought Felix also decided to buy the dwarf too and they handed him the key of the dwarf too.
The man that bought them was a good man, they haven't went too far before he released them and told them to go there own ways and they thanked him very much for that.
