Disclaimer: I do not own Eragon.

I'm trying to update as soon as possible.

Reviews that's all I'm asking for. Reviews. More and more.

As much as possible. The more the reviews, the sooner the updates.

Anyways, enjoy!

Murtagh and Thorn soared high above everything else. They were nearing the camp of Galbatorix's army as they planned their next attack. But this time they were aiming at the elves. This was as good a time as any, since the Varden needed time to regroup from the previous bout.

This was a good time to strike.

Thorn, I'm afraid we won't survive this next battle. I'm afraid we will fall into the hands of Eragon. Murtagh said to Thorn, his dragon, through the mental link the two shared.

I'm afraid it might be the truth, too, my Rider.

Soon Eragon and Saphira neared the camp, which was just twenty minutes away.

"Shadeslayer!"

Quickly Eragon turned around, just as he picked up another man to be buried with the others.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Nasuada has requested your presence, Shadeslayer,"

"Tell her I'll be right there."

Quickly, Eragon placed the body onto the pile and sprinted as fast as he could towards Nasuada's tent. Saphira was flying just above him.

What do you think she wants? asked Eragon through the mental link the two shared.

Your guess is as good as mine, little one.

As Eragon walked in, he saw Arya sitting there, too.

"What importance is there to discuss?" asked Eragon.

"Will you see, my most reliable sources have confirmed to me that Galbatorix and his army are preparing for war once again, and this time it is against the elves."

"So quickly!" exclaimed Eragon.

"The elves are strong people, but even we can not win; it is 1 to 100 men!" screamed Arya, losing her temper and slamming her fist.

"All is not lost yet; the Varden can begin departure within three days." Nasuada said as she proceeded to take out a map of Alagaësia.

"I think it would be best if you could come in from behind," suggested Eragon. "And will we have the assistance of the dwarves in this matter?"

"I believe you will Shadeslayer," announced Orik as he strode into the tent. "But first we need to set up a proper burial for King Hrothgar and then we will come as soon as we can to your assistance."

Pointing at the map, Nasuada said, "I believe Galbatorix's army will split and attack each city, until all is left is Ellesmera, then they will regroup and attack Ellesmera and finish all the elves once and for all."

"Then there is no time to waste; we must hurry to the aid of the elves. Eragon and I will go first to Du Weldenvarden," announced Arya.

As Arya and Eragon sprinted out and towards their new destination, Eragon turned around and shouted, "I'm sorry, Orik, it seems I'm not able to pay my respects to King Hrothgar, but I promise you: after this war, I will come back to pay my proper respects to the dead King."

With that, Arya and Eragon sprinted towards their destination with Saphira flying above. With no thought of what is ahead and what will occur. They had no thought of what is ahead or what will occur, only of reaching their destination.

Little did they know this was the start of something big.
