Ch2
"But how?" Came Orrin's reply
"I don't know but I think Galbatorix has gotten help from the drow but lets not discuses these matters now because we have to prepare." Saleth mentioned
"Prepare for what?" Nasuada asked
"We have 1000 men heading for the shore as we speak and the dwarves of the Mithril hall have pledged an army to meet us in the next summer. Then the elves of Silverymoon are also preparing to leave but it takes precise timing to cross the threshold." Saleth continued on but Eragon went thinking.
"We should keep Saleth under a close eye he could turn on us at any second and what are these drow." Saphira said.
"I don't know but I think we can trust him to some extent remember he let us into his mind." Came Eragon
"We should tell Roran to be careful and not tell Saleth anything." Was Saphira's answer and they left the conversation.
Two days later
Eragon and Roran were preparing to leave to Ellesmera and were shocked to know that Saleth would be joining them.
"we will have to walk since we have three I have to resume my training and Roran has to learn to fight stronger creatures." Eragon mentioned.
"No just watch I will meet you on the border of Du Weldenvarden, look for the white flame." Saleth replied and left.
Roran was uncomfortable we boarding Saphira but did it because he knew Katrina depended on him so he went.
In another five days to reach the border of Du Weldenvarden then they saw smoke on the edge of Du Weldenvarden but when they did they found Saleth sitting around a white fire.
"How did you get here before us?" Roared Eragon
"That is my secret and lets leave it at that." Saleth calmly said.
As they went to the edge of the Ellesmera they met Gilderien the wise. He eyed Saleth almost ready to attack then let them through.
When they reach Ellesmera Queen Islanzadi greeted them
"Atra esterni ono thelduin." Eragon said as they we greeted.
"Mor'ranr lifa unin hjarta onr." Islanzadi replied "who is this."
"He is Saleth; he came from lands from great distances." Eragon replied.
"Greetings from the Sword coast." Saleth said.
After the many introductions Eragon, Saphira, and Saleth headed to the training field because they where curious of Saleth's fighting prowess.
"I'll spar you." Saleth said.
"Fine but I'll warn you I have been gifted with the prowess of the Elves so you might lose." Eragon replied
"Definitely." Saphira mentioned to Eragon.
Roran set up with another elf with his hammer as Eragon and Saleth squared off.
Saleth pulled out a katana and muttered some inaudible words. Just as Eragon was casting the spell to protect his blade Saleth said,
"Don't waste your energy I have cast a spell to protect us both. Now let us begin."
Saleth reached into his sleeve and produced a dagger. He threw it at Eragon at inhuman speeds. Before Eragon could react the blade stopped right before his face and it stood there quivering.
"Grab it and put it aside." Saleth called to Eragon.
Eragon charged Saleth with a stab. Which Saleth easily sidestepped, as a counter Saleth swung his blade low and produced another dagger from the same sleeve and aimed the dagger high. Eragon jumped back to evade the blow. Saleth threw the katana into the air and tossed the dagger Eragon's way. Eragon swung his blade to deflect the dagger it stopped once again on the invisible shield. Out of frustration Eragon swung his blade at Saleth, but Saleth lowered the invisible shield on himself the sword scraped his glove and Eragon saw something familiar the Gedwey Ignasia.
