Arya he began but he didn't get any further than that as Arya kissed him, Eragon's mind was in shock why now he thought.

Because you are ready a voice replied in his mind Arya he asked am I anyone else she answered coyly.

Eragon gasped," how did you get past my mind barriers?" everybody has their secrets Eragon she replied playfully, anyway I must be getting going I need to report to my mother, must you he asked exasperated, yes she sighed, anyway I might be back later Arya smiled her bright emerald eyes gleaming, she kissed him once more, then strode out of the tent.

Well was all Eragon thought he heard saphira chuckled"what he asked?" you she replied I still don't get it this made saphira laugh even more a low rumbling laugh anyway would you like to go flying yes I would saphira replied, Eragon felt the ground shake as saphira lifted herself up off the ground, Eragon grabbed Brisingr, belted it to his waist, then he carefully picked up saphira's saddle which had Gleadr's Eldunari inside the saddlebags, Eragon stepped outside his tent, fastened saphira's saddle onto her then ran up her left foreleg and climbed into the saddle fastening his legs in the stirrups as he did, he searched for Blodhgam's mind he found it quickly and once the elf lowered his barriers Eragon told him me and saphira are going to fly awhile yes Shadeslayer came the reply.

Lets fly Eragon said to saphira, aye let us fly saphira replied roaring as she did before Eragon knew it he was three/four hundred feet above feinster Eragon let out a whoop but it wasn't long lived as he looked four miles from Feinster was six hundred of the empire's soldiers Blodhgarm Eragon cried with his mind the response was immediate SHADESLAYER, there are about six hundred empire solders marching towards Feinster alert the Varden! Blodhgarm was silent for a span of heartbeats and then he replied I have spoken with Arya who is with Nasuada and she is readying the soldiers as we spea….. The rest of Blodhgarm's words were lost as he saw just above the horizon a red dragon with a rider on his back appeared it was Thorn and Murtagh. Blodhgarm meet me at Feinster's main gate We hear and obey Shadeslayer was the reply.
