Chapter 6 was awesome. The fight could have been longer…but hey short and sweet. GG also gave me this idea for this chapter too. Just the plot…..nothing else.
The Egg
When I woke up from the dreadful night, Fay was sitting in the chair looking into the sun. Singing in elvish while rubbing the baby in her stomach, I didn't catch anything in the song. I walked over and laid my hands around her neck and kissed her on the forehead. It's been 8 months since I broke my ribs. They were still healing a little bit, but Fay's stomach looked like a big pillow.
"So….when do you think it will come out?" Fay asked. "I really don't know but soon…it's been almost 9 months." I said letting her sit in my lap laying her head on my bare chest. "I don't want the baby in constant danger….the Kull will try to find another way in you know." She said in a worried voice. I frowned and started to think, Well ill see what Eragon wants to do. I was thinking to myself.
When I was dressed I walked to Eragon's. I sat at the table, "Eragon…I want to attack the king just me and you." I said pounding my fist. He started to laugh…"That's funny…wait your serious…shit." I took out a map of Alagaësia. We searched and searched for almost 2 days, "Damn it…there's no way in!" Eragon shouted while throwing the map. "Eragon…get a hold of yourself." I said not trying to anger Saphira.
I picked up the map and brought it back down onto the table. "Look…there." I said pointing next to his kingdom. There was a weakness in his castle, I've been there. "We will move in by night but don't bring Saphira because I think he can tell if she came close." I said. "Ok…but how are we going to get out?" he said. "Horses." I said.
It would be a few weeks before we finally went. Two days after the meeting with Eragon, I went to train with an elf. I walked onto the field with just my sword, the ground was still warm. I walked up to the elf, "Care to Spar?" I asked. The same elf as last time I was sparing with when I was going to kill my best friend. I drew my sword and he nodded. I was faster and stronger this time, He swung at me with both hands, but missed. I slipped behind him and kicked his feet out from under him and pointed my blade at his neck. "Dead." I said. (I suggest that you put on Chop Suey buy System of A Down while Drake's training.)
I said to myself as he got up here we go… I lunged at him with forced that would knock down a century year old tree. I missed he stepped to the left, I turned around to see him standing…chuckling to himself. Ok. I waited there, He became inpatient and stepped to the side and hit him in his leg, he dropped to look at it. I leaned down and asked…"Im sorry I….I carried away-" I was cut off by him punching me in the jaw. "You ignorant fool….never give mercy….never cave in….never back down." He said with a grim tone. I threw my sword down and raised my fists, I did too. I gabbed with my left and caught him in the lip, I swung at him with my right getting him in the right arm. He wasn't fazed at all, he hit me in the stomach and when I went to lower down to put my arm around it he kneed me in the face. I fell back on my back, my vision was getting blurry…no never back down Drake…Never give up.
I got back up pulling off my shirt, beads of sweet were in my hair. I punched the elf in the face missing twice, but landed a nice knee to the stomach. When he went down to grab it I squeezed my fist…and punched him in the face. I felt sorry, but I knew not to get upset. I walked over to him panting my knees and facing him while he got up. "Here take my hand." I threw my hand out to him, he grabbed it and pulled hard on my arm. When he was on his feet I asked if he wanted me to heal it, he said no. "You fought like I expected and more." The elf was showing gratitude. "Thank you…you fought well too." I said shacking his hand.
I grabbed my sword and slipped my shirt on, I began to walk to Eragon's to see if he was really taking this seriously. I walked in, he was really taking it seriously. Eragon was training with a tree trunk in his backyard, he was punching it, then went to sword play. "So you really are taking this seriously then huh." I said surprised. "Yes I am." He said panting a little.
I was shocked when I saw Saphira sleeping, but there was an odd thing to it. She usually has her tongue in her mouth, before I knew it she was on top of me. I was laughing so was she, I see you have been working out? She was teasing. How can you tell? I asked confused. You have eight ribs and your muscles are a little bit bigger. I could feel the tips of my ears burning red. Thank you very much Saphira for that compliment, you look good yourself. I said trying to see what it looks like for a Dragon blushing. Oh…well thank you Drake. Her cheeks turned a dark crimson.
When I walked into my house I saw Fay….crying. I ran over to her, "Fay what's wrong?" I asked picking her up into my arms. "I don't want you to leave me Drake….I don't want you to die." She said sobbing. I held her closer…."Fay I won't die…I promise." I said when I felt something warm…almost like water crawling down my leg. "Fay…YOUR WATER BROKE!" I didn't yell at her I was excited though. "Holy shit…holy shit…holy shit.." she was scared. I gently wrapped her with a blanket and gently picked her up… I didn't know what to do…I was scared and confused. I ran to Eragon's house this time I bashed the door open…"ERAGON….FAY'S WATER BROKE…..WHAT DO I DO?" I yelled. He looked confused, "LAY HER ON THE TABLE…" I gently laid her on a chair, then cleared the table and placed her on the table. "Ok Fay you're going to need to push…it's going to hurt." Eragon knew what to do. Fay pushed harder and harder, squeezing my hand harder each time. "Fay you're going to be ok you need to push im here with you." I said trying to comfort her.
Before I knew it I heard a baby crying, "It's a boy….wait there's another baby.." Eragon said while giving me the baby boy….I looked into his eyes, he had his mother's eyes. "Hi there little guy… im your daddy." I said holding him in my arms. I gave him to Fay who was crying, "This one's a girl…" Eragon handed me the other baby. The little girl had pointed ears like her brother, but had my eyes. I started to cry and sat next to Fay, "So… I have Rose and you have…Archer?" I asked wiping away tears. "I like those names…Hi there Archer." Fay's mothererly side was showing.
I wrapped the babies in cloth and held Fay in my arms who was holding the babies in her arms. I laid her on the bed with our babies, "I will go make cradles…with my hands." I said proudly. I went out into the forest and chopped a tree down, and carried it to the house. I began cutting huge pieces of wood to make the cradles. When I was finished one had "Rose" engraved in it, and the other had "Archer" engraved in it. I got some cloth and padded the cradles and placed them into our room. They were twins after all, "Their beautiful..good job." I said playfully, "Hey you did most of the work…you did a great job too." Fay was teasing as well.
That night I woke up hearing babies crying, it was a good thing there were cows in the town. I got some milk and warmed it up. I made glass bottles out of sand and engraved the babies names in each one. When I gave them to the babies I went back to bed, Fay was smiling at me, "You're the greatest husband and dad in the world." Fay said snuggling up to my chest.
The morning was bright, I was getting dressed for our journey to the king. "So it's going to happening today?" Fay sounded worried and sad. "Yes….I want our children to live safely." I said hugging her, she began to cry. "Hey…shhh….shhh…I know its hard…im sorry to say but you probably won't see me for about a week." I said holding her closer. I could feel her tears running down her cheek…I felt her pain….her misfortune to see me leave. "I will come back Fay….I promise." I kissed her and hugged her picking her up off the ground.
I saddled Adurna, gave Fay one last look and lifted my hood up. Eragon and me were ridding almost faster than a dragon until, we had to make camp. I made the fire while Eragon hunted, he came back with a deer. He skinned it and boiled it, "I never had boiled deer." I said biting down on it. "mmmmm…" it was very good, when I rolled up into a ball sleeping, thinking of Fay and the babies, I felt like I had when I my parents died.
Eragon and I reached the castle in no time. We slipped inside of the back door of the castle, there were guard's everywhere we had stealthily killed two but that was the last until we made it to the throne room. (I suggest putting on I will not Bow by Breaking Benjamin during this fight)
The king was waiting, sword drawn and all. When we entered guards were cheering the kings name. Me and Eragon were thrown into the arena with the king, "Drake…you were my best why?" The king starring into my eyes…"You were a bastard never letting me rest between contracts, ever….I never could love… I was never loved." I spat out to him. He nodded and swung his blade at me and Eragon. (Music time)
I lifted my hood, drew my blade and swung 10 times harder than the king. He deflected it and pushed me aside to deal with Eragon. I got back up and started to swing at him while Eragon was doing the same. Guards started to pour out, I threw all my knives at them 10 of them fell. More poured out, I swung at one and caught him in the arm. He dropped his blade, I let him live…I shown mercy to him. Another came at me and hit my leg, it didn't bleed nor hurt…I kept going. I punched one guard and killed another until just me, Eragon and the king were left. I hit the king in the back, he hit Eragon in the arm making Eragon fall to the ground. He started to run away, Eragon where are you going….ERAGON. He left me, I swung my blade and missed him he kneed me in the ribs, it hurt more than ever. I got back up and swung at him missing again until he punched me in the face and stuck his bladed through my chest.
When I woke up, I was only in ragged shorts. Chains were keeping me into the wall, the king got some orange tipped clampers that were in the fire. "Where are the elves…my assassin never reached you."…..I said nothing, he pressed the clampers on my chest…"AAAHHHHHHH" I screamed. "Tell me." His voice was deeper. I didn't speak, he pressed the clampers onto my thigh. "FUCK….YOU…." I screamed and spat in his face. He threw the clampers in the fire, he went behind me and all I heard was a whip in the air. "Tell me." He said in my ear. I said nothing….he then whipped me over and over again.
When I woke up in his castle, I was chained to the wall. Eragon…please…help. My body was broken….I was broken, I still said nothing…for 2 weeks. While I was getting my daily routine of whipping, he changed tactics, this time I beautiful sorcery…a girl came in. I was laid down naked, until she sat on my waist, with my member inside of her. "Tell me Drake…I know you want to…" her voice sounded that of an elves. "No" I said will she rode me faster and faster. When I couldn't take it anymore after 3 days of this, while she was ridding me, I broke from the chains. I knocked her off, placing a hand over her mouth as I pinned her onto the wall…"Where is….my stuff?" I asked but I was holding her neck in my hands. "Over….their…" she was coughing when I dressed in my clothes and strapped my knives and sword on. I chained her to the wall and casted a spell that prevented her from using magic and to speak.
I sneaked out of the castle, but made it to a room filled with eggs. I snatched one, it was the color of a light purple. When I placed it in my satchel I ran for the passage way to the outside. Adurna was missing as well. I ran to the elvish city, I took me 5 days when I sleeped my dreams were only of Fay. When I came to the barrier that lead to the city, I made it to my house. I opened the door and saw Fay…..breast feeding Archer. I fell to the floor, "DRAKE!" Fay screamed. When I woke up Fay was tending to my whipped skin, "Hey there sleepy…you look terrible." She was now looking at me. "Ive been worse.." I said getting up…."What did Eragon tell you when he got back?" I asked. "He said you were…dead, I found this in your bag it looks like an egg." She said. "Never mind that…I will be back." I said getting up.
I had no shirt on but pants, I walked out into the street and headed to Eragon's house. I bashed the door off its hinges,.."ERAGON!" I yelled, "Drake…hey buddy…you look like shit." He said backing up, Arya ran down the stairs and covered her gasp. I put my hand on his neck and lifted him up on the wall…"Why did you leave me….to get tortured and raped?" I yelled at him. Saphira flew into the room….and did nothing….it was like she knew? We wanted you to get captured…we did not know that you were going to get rapped, but tortured yes. Saphira shattered my barriers. And you didn't TELL ME!...ME THE PERSON WHO TRUSTED YOU WITH THEIR LIVES. WHY….why? I let Eragon go, I fell sitting on the ground. I got up and was about to walk out the door, when Arya slapped me. We wanted you to become…a rider.
I was too angry to care, when I got home…Fay was there. "Im sorry…Fay we were lied to." I said taking her into my arms. "I will never leave you or the babies alone again." I said, hugging her. "Good…" she said crying. I picked her up and laid her down on the bed. I slipped next to her and fell asleep. When I woke up my backed ached, I went to go look at it in the mirror. I whistled, "My back is fucked…up." I said. I went down stairs.
"Hello my little soldier…" Fay was teasing, "Hello my beautiful dove." I said putting my hands on her waist. "Did….did the king hurt you?" she was holding my rough hands. "My back isn't the best." I said lifting my shirt, "Drake….your chest." She said touching the burn from the clampers. "Yeah I forgot about those." I said. "Oh Drake…" she said laying her head on my chest. She was crying…I felt her tears grow. "Hey…im back…don't cry…their scars." I said holding her face to see mine. "I know but….he hurt you." She said while I was wiping her tears away.
When I slipped my shirt on I went upstairs and picked up Rose, "I bet you missed me too huh?" I said. She was smiling now….I picked up Archer in my other arm. "I know you made sure mommy was busy and happy." He smiled too. I looked up and saw Fay in the doorway. "d-d-d-da da.." Rose spoke her first word. I looked down at her, "Yes im here now." Fay took Archer. "M-m-m-m-mama.." Archer spoke his first word too, Fay started to cry. I hugged her while we both were holding our children….I was now fully complete. When everyone went to bed I took the egg and brought it outside. I sat down at the dock with it in my hands. I held it out to the moon and saw it was full. When I set it down…it started to crack.
When the dragon pocked its head out, I touched its snout with my right hand. My hand started to burn, but I took it. When the dragon stepped out…I had to name it. So I called him…."Ilian", "happiness" in the ancient language….
I can't believe that almost over….The next chapter will be the next. But I will make a second "Drake".
