Elva
She woke up. She could not move. Him arms were pinned down and she was tied to a bed. Gradually the world came into focus. Her body ached. She felt pains, the deaths of a thousand men burdened her down. She was suffocating. Her body spasmed with pain. She could only welcome one thing right now, death. She wanted to die. The only relief. Somewhere, something moved. It approached her. Her mouth was opened and a sweet sickly syrup was poured in. The world went dark once again.

She opened her eyes. It was dark out. She was no longer tied down. She felt different. She seemed to be seeing things from another persons view. She got. She approached the mirror at the far side of the room. She was silenced by her appearance. She no longer appeared to be a young girl of four. She looked older. Maybe eight. She stared at her reflection. Her dragon mark was brighter than ever. She looked alien with her huge eyes and her glowing forehead.

She turned away from him. Her heart ached. Perhaps it was broken. She had felt so happy when she though about being normal once again. But he had destroyed that for he, like so many other things. She felt her anger bloom inside her chest she wanted to make him hurt like he had done to her. She clenched her fists. But then she thought no, I promised……...

Starlight relieved her of the pain of the sun. She went into Eragon's room. She quickly flipped through the pile of books before she found one on magic. She put it in her bag and left. At her room she left a quick note. She ran off to the stables were the horses were kept. She chose out a midnight black horse named Raven. She saddled him and loaded her bag onto him. She mounted him and they left in the night.
As she rode she thought a bout the path she would take. A quick one, the most direct. She knew that the empirial army would take the longer way around. She felt something tug on her heart. It told her Uru'baen. She felt destined to go there. She stopped suddenly and remembered something she had forgotten. She flipped through the book and looked for a concealment charm. She found one. It was complex but she managed to do complete. It drained her of so much energy. She felt so weak.
She and Raven rode once again.

Uru'baen was a shock for her. It was so large compared to all the other cities she had been to. She stopped outside the city gates.
She took out a small pocketknife and cut her hair very short. She made sure it covered her eyes and her dragon mark. She looked at her reflection in a bowl of water. She looked like a young boy. She changed it to some coarse clothes she had brought along. She and Raven entered the city without drawing too much attention to themselves. She rented a room at one of the many inns in the city, none of which were very welcoming. She left Raven in the stall there and continued on her way. She made her way towards the gates of the palace. She could tell right away that it would be very hard to enter the palace. She decided to go around the back way. She entered into the servant quarters without being noticed.
She wandered through the maze of corridors totally lost. She made random turns and wherever she could find a staircase she went up it. She entered a room and saw a window. When she looked out she realized how high she had gotten. The people looked so small they made her laugh. She instantly shut up. She heard footsteps down the hall and bolted.
She heard someone call out, "Stop!", but she ignored them. She continued to go higher and higher into the palace. As she was going up one staircase she stopped. She felt over whelmed. Pure power and force seemed to radiate through out the floor. She slowly enter the hallway. At the end of the corridor there was a room. Against her will she approached she tried to stop but she could. It pulled her forward. Her hand turned the knob and the door swung open. In the most beautiful room she had ever seen. In the chair in front of her a man sat. He stared at her. She knew who it was. Galbatorix.
She found that even with him her ability was not hindered. Like all others she could peal away each layer with ease and find their center without trying. She told him what he wanted to hear. She whispered softly, "The Empire will be yours and it is. Revenge is yours. All opponents shall be destroyed in your path. You are ultimate. A new dawn rises and you control it." His hands gripped his chair, his eyes stared off into space, captivated by the future only he beheld.
It was then that she saw it. The green egg on the table. She could see her reflection in it. Her eyes glowed. Involuntarily she reached for it and held it. Galbatorix was too deep in his trance to notice. She left the room. She began to run now. She flew out the door. To the stairs. She ran down them. She stopped. She felt a presence down the hall. She knew who it was. Murtgah. He sensed her. She could tell. She stopped waiting for him. But he left. She continued to run down the stairs faster and faster. As she neared the bottom she noticed a change in atmosphere. The air grew taight and heavy. Perhaps something dangerous was going on. She continued to run.
As she neared the third floor she heard and felt guards approaching her. She ran into the nearest room. She closed the door behind her and turned around. She lost her breath. There was girl sitting on a bed looking at her quizzically. She appeared to be around 18. She had skin and hair the colour of fresh snow, but her eyes were a deep and violent red. The girl examined Elva. She jumped up, startled when she saw the egg in her hands. "You have the egg!" she cried. Elva said nothing. The girl sat back down and thought about this. "I'll help you," she whispered. "There is a back gate, it looks like a wall, but you'll be able to tell. From there you just have to run straight." The girl looked at Elva with bright eyes.
Elva said softly, "Are you sure?" The girl nodded in response.
"I'm Pan," the girl said as Elva turned around to leave. Elva turned back to face the girl.
"Elva," she said laughing slightly.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Elva continued her way downstairs. This time much more cautiously. She finally found herself in front of the servant's quarters. She felt the presence of two people inside, guards perhaps. She could not injure them. Not now in her state. She opened the door slightly and focused on the guard nearest to her. She concentrated on the spell and he fell to the ground unconscious. His friend jumped up and ran to the door. He opened it and saw Elva outside. His eyes widened in shock. He suddenly fell over grabbing at his throat.
Elva carefully stepped over his unconscious body and walked out of the of the servant's area. She walked quickly trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. She found the inn where she had left Raven. She quickly saddled him and put the egg in her back. It was then that she felt the pain. It hit her so hard she fell over. She rolled on the ground clutching at her stomach. Eragon was going to be hurt. He needed her. She got a vision of a tall rock formation. It reached up into the sky. The layer of the Ra'zac. She got up slowly and lifted herself on Raven. She had no time to lose. She gave him mental images urging him to be quick and where to go. He took off through the streets running as fast as her could. The came to the wall and he ran alongside. She could here the call being raised. Soldiers and mounted knights cam towards them. She saw the back gate. It was paler than the rest of the wall. She touched it. It was an illusion. She forced the confused horse to walk through it. As soon as the had gone through it, he started to gallop. The soldiers stopped at the wall not sure of what had just happened. The girl seemed to have disappeared through the wall. It took them a while to figure out what the wall really was and by that time she was gone.
