Sorry I took so long! Well I'm back now so don't fret:)

Selena looked back at the plateau sorrowfully. Why had she done this? What was going to happen to her?
Suddenly, Glaemr began chastising her again for doing something as stupid as she had. You are still young and ignorant, little one. Glaemr observed.
What are you talking about! I'm older than you by years! And just because you're bigger than me doesn't mean that you have any right to pick at me like a flock of starving buzzards! Selena sounded as if she were going mad. And the fact that Glaemr wouldn't shut up didn't help either, so he pulled his thoughts away.

By night fall they had landed and made camp.
"Selena, I'm sorry. I mean for bringing you here. I feel guilty about it because I would hate someone if they did this to me. Did you know that Selena was my mother's name," Murtagh said, trying to make small talk seeing there was nothing else to do. For a moment, Selena was completely silent.
"It's not your fault," Selena said with a weak smile.
"Yes it is. I should've never taken you up on that bet. I should've known that you couldn't beat me," Murtagh teased.
"Well I was tired. You would be to if you had just killed hundreds of men," Selena shot back at him.
"Then prove it," Murtagh barked back at her.
For a moment, Murtagh thought Selena was ignoring him. But Selena caught him off guard. She swung her sword so hard that if it Murtagh hadn't blocked the blow; it would have cleaved his shoulder in half.
Their swords met in bursts of sparks. And they danced about, until finally, Murtagh said, "Well I have to admit, you do have skills. Let's sleep now. We have a long day ahead of us."
Without saying a word, Selena laid out her bedroll.
Goodnight little one.
'Night, Glaemr.

Eragon had hardly slept last night. He blamed himself for what happened.
Don't blame yourself, little one.
Why shouldn't I? It's my entire fault. I shouldn't have been so stupid as to try to fight when I was obviously too weak.
No, Eragon. If it's anybody's fault, it's Selena's. It was her mistake to take on Murtagh like that. And she ignored your warning.
I know. But I feel like I could've done more though.
Do not trouble you mind with these thoughts. Concentrate on what's taking place.
With that, Eragon went to find Nausuada.

Selena walked up beside Murtagh in front of the fire. She pulled her sword part way out of its sheath and looked at it. Then, she saw a quick movement in the forest behind them. She told Glaemr and he said I was about to tell you that I sensed something that wasn't you. Tell Murtagh. Thorn and I will come.
Yes I'll tell him. Hurry!
"Raz'zac. They're here," Selena muttered to Murtagh. He began to pull out Zar'roc, but Selena pushed his hand down and said, "No. We want to make them think that we don't know they're here." Murtagh nodded and said, "I'll warn Thorn."
"Already done. They're on their way."
Then, an arrow whizzed past Selena's head and planted itself into a tree right beside Murtagh. "Now you can pull out your sword," Selena said as she pulled out her own sword.
Moments later, the Raz'zac appeared. Murtagh shot an arrow and it went right past one of the Raz'zac's head.
Then, just as one of the Raz'zac lunged at Murtagh, Selena grasped for the magic and shouted, and "Thrysta!" The one Raz'zac went into the air and landed 30 feet away.
Glaemr! Now would be a good time to help!
Then, as if on cue, Glaemr and Thorn dropped from the sky and landed close by. The Raz'zac shrieked.
"Reisa!" Murtagh barked. And both Raz'zac went into the air and then he dropped them. They appeared to be in shock, for they just laid there. "Let's go before they wake up," He said nervously.
"No Murtagh! Let's just sit beside then until they wake up!" Selena said in a bitter-sarcastic manor. Murtagh recoiled as if he had been slapped across the face. Then, they fled…
