Here we go again. I do not own any of the characters you recognise from the Inheritance Cycle. Thank You.
Chapter 2: Clash.
Lyssa's P.O.V.
As usual I arrived first to the training grounds in Ellesmera. Aren had never beaten me yet and I didn't intend to change that standing. Alighting gracefully I patted Ethanair on his silvery shoulder. Lyss you think Aren figured out we use our wind power yet to reach faster? 'You know I don't think she does' I laughed.
Unsheathing my sword Aeglos I ran towards the sparring ground. Master Oromis had told us all to practise our fighting and come and meet him in an hour. I took up a defensive stance and began fighting against Murtagh. We were like arrows in the sunlight. Darting, shooting forward, and dodging each other's blade like a complicated dance. Our dragons were away with Glaedr, I kept my mind open just enough to hear what they were learning.
On the other side of the field Eragon and Arendil were sparring even harder. Ever since Aren won their last match Eragon was obsessed with beating her. Laughing I parried Murtagh's blow to my side. Sidestepping it I hit him in the stomach and won the fight. That was unexpected I thought to myself. He must be tired or something I hardly ever win against him.
"Good fight you actually this time!" he said with a surprised look on his face. "Hey what's with the surprise? I can fight!" I snorted sending everyone into a fit of laughter. Our hour was up. Running towards the meditation centre we found Master Oromis. He was sitting on a reed mat in the middle of the clearing. "Eragon you wake him!" we all hissed. Reluctantly Eragon went up to the meditating elf and whispered "Master, we're here. Master wake up we need to train." Eragon ran back to us as soon as he said those words.
"Eragon I'm fully aware that you are there. Also I know we have to train but you and your friends need to learn patience. Come on I have important news for all of you. Follow me." Meekly we all followed him well and properly chastised. Aren was glowering at Murtagh as usual. I laughed silently at them. Everyone knew that they were perfect for each other except them. They brought out the best in each other with their rivalry. Murtagh brought out her strong, competitive and logical side. Arendil brought out his brave, clever and philosophical side.
A lot of times Eragon and I watched their feud with our guide Master Oromis. Actually it was him that showed us their compatibility. I caught up with Eragon and said "They're fighting again" as they started to quarrel. "BE QUIET!" said Oromis.
"You all have to go a mission to get the last egg from Galbatorix. We actually have a better chance with four riders since Murtagh rejoined us. You will be assigned to pairs and tomorrow you will be off."
Arendil and I gravitated to wards each other instantly. "I will be assigning groups" said Oromis. "Lyssa will be going with Eragon and Arendil will be partnered with Murtagh." Arendil's eyes looked like saucers as she heard what the elf had to say. "WHAT THE HELL.YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS! NO.NO.NO. OVER MY DEAD BODY!" she shouted. "Um… Eragon could you help me lift Murtagh I think he fainted from the shock," I said trying to keep a straight face. Eragon went up to Master Oromis and whispered "Master are you sure you want to do this? They might kill each other. I could go with Murtagh or Arendil instead." "No Eragon Murtagh and Arendil must learn to work together.
Arendil had stalked out of the room in a temper. I ran to calm her down. "Hey wait up" I said slowing as I reached her. "I swear to god that I will kill everyone that made this happen," she said in a deathly whisper. "Well then you'll have to kill yourself. Your fighting with Murtagh caused this to happen. Stop fighting with him. Give him a bloody chance" I said my voice shaking with rage. This feud between them had been going on for too long.
"Oh, it's alright for you. You're partnered up with your boyfriend Eragon. Now you two can be together all the time. Geeze," she sneered. That was it she crossed the line. No one insults my dignity and gets away with it. My voice layered with sarcasm I said back at her "Yes and we're very happy with our relationship thank you."
I left a cliffy.
I'm so evil
Muahahahahaha.
