"Do you think we did the right thing?" Kendra asked in her mind to Ice. She was currently slinking through Galbatorix's castle on high alert. She was very close to the egg storage room.
"Uh....I think it's a little late for second thoughts Kendra..." Ice said softly. She was keeping watch for Galbatorix and more importantly Shruikan. There were four guards. Kendra threw her daggers, getting rid of the two farthest from her. One was about to shout, but she surprised him with her quickness and she got rid of him. The last one looked at her and before he could do anything he was dead at her feet. Kendra nodded to herself and was outside of the egg room in no time. Being as she was brought into the dragon egg room many times, Galbatorix thought she was supposed to be a rider and she almost laughed at the irony of it, she muttered the long list of spells that were needed to get into the room. Turns out Galbatorix hadn't changed any of them, yet. She took a deep breath and stepped into the room, closing the door behind her. There sat the two dragon eggs. This room looked nice and safe, as if you could walk right up to the eggs and touch them. Yeah, right. Kendra knew the truth. She knew that booby traps would go off if you took one wrong step. The tile floor had to be maneuvered a certain way. Kendra took a deep breath and started remembering clearly the combination needed. It took her a few minutes, but she made it to the pedestal that the dragons eggs were on. She muttered a quick spell to get rid of the protection around the eggs. She very carefully reached up and grabbed both the red and green eggs and placed them in her bag.
"To easy..." she muttered to Ice. Her dragon grumbled in agreement. Kendra had to take a different path back, she had a harder time rembering this one and she was almost to the other side.
"Dang it.....I don't remember the next step.....Uh Oh....." Kendra worried to Ice.
"Can you manage to jump to the other side from there?" Ice asked, close to hyperventilating. Kendra took a deep breath and dived. She tumbled and rolled when she landed....safely. Both Kendra and Ice breathed a sigh of relief. Kendra pretty much ran all the way through the halls. She jumped on Ice the first moment she had and Ice looked for Shrukian before taking off and flying as fast as possible. Both she and Kendra breathed a sigh of relief when getting out of the line of sight from the castle.

The whole hall stared dumbstruck at Eragon. Murtagh snapped out of it first by swearing.
Ajihad then said, "Okay, let's discuss this in private." he then immediately stood up. Arya, Murtagh, Eragon, Orik, and Nasuda followed him.
Eragon had to stop Murtagh from attacking the twins when one whispered to the other, "I knew that girl was a traitor and a spy for Galbatorix the moment I couldn't check her mind." They sat around a table except for Murtagh who was pacing, swearing the whole time.
"She could just be going for a fly...." Nasuda said, no one believed her, she didn't even believe herself.
"I knew it. I thought she was just planning a way to make us agree to let her go, but noooo she's planning a way to get to the castle without permission. Of course! It's sooo Kendra!" Murtagh muttered angrily. No one could calm him, no one tried. It was silent for some time.
"Well, all we can do is wait for her to get back...." Ajihad said. The others nodded. Murtagh just sighed.
