Chapter: 8
Orion, get up, it's time. Get up we're departing this morning. That was Ranth'Ur. Alright I'm up I'm up. Orion groaned. Standing up to stretch. Ranth'Ur was standing at the foot of Orion's bed eying him. Good morning my favorite Dragon! Orion said in mock happiness. Ranth'Ur laughed at that. Ranth'Ur, Orion, meet me out side, I have all the supplies. Eragon receded from their minds. Orion dressed quickly. And headed out of the mountain-city. When they arrived out side they saw Eragon standing by Saphira who was standing by a pile of what Orion thought was the supplies.
"Good morning friend, I hope this morning finds you well?" Eragon asked as Orion and Ranth'Ur approached. "It finds me tired as all hell." Orion mumbled rubbing his eyes. They stood in silence for a minute or two than Eragon said,"The supplies will be divided between the two dragon's as I have already equally separated them into piled here." He began gesturing to the piles by Saphira. "Get them up onto Ranth'Ur's Back. And we will take our leave." He finished by slinging one pile onto Saphira. Orion did the same. When they had finished they both climbed into the saddles. Ranth'Ur fit nicely into his, seeing as he was as big as Saphira with is growth steadily slowing. "Let us be off, Orion Shur'Tugal!" Eragon roared. Saphira let out a bellowing roar that hurt Orion's ears.
Ranth'Ur let out his own roar twice as loud but this didn't hurt Orion's Ears. Ranth'Ur jumped up into the air, unfolded his wings and flew away. Saphira followed in suit. It was hard to communicate over the roar of the wind so they talked through their minds. After awhile Orion was getting sore, have never ridden that long, something Eragon said he'd get used to really quick. It was tough flying because they were flying against the wind. They had to stop twice before the wind died down at sunset and they landed for the night. "We only have a day and a half till we reach Du WldenVarden. We'll be at the edge of the territory tomorrow by nightfall. And we'll sleep than we will depart before sunrise and be in Ellesmera by midday."
Eragon explained while he was eating and covered up by Saphira's wing. Orion was the same way with Ranth'Ur. They soon all fell asleep. Morning to Orion came way to fast for his liking. Goddamn can't we get decent sleep for one night? He grumbled to Ranth'Ur as he stretched. Of course not, Eragon doesn't want you spoiled. It was how he was taught, now he's teaching you, which by the way, you are kind of I a round about way, are being taught by Brom and Oromis and Gleadr. Ranth'Ur said chuckling at Orion's grumpy mood. That's why I just love you Orion, you are a very intelligent person but you don't use it a lot just like me. In a way we are very much the same being. He continued as they flew. Eragon had been silent all day until it was time to cross on foot. Orion, Ranth'Ur, we are landing now, the edge of Du WeldenVarden is just ahead.
And just as he predicted they reached the Elf territory by nightfall. The sun was just setting when they crossed into the trees. They slept in the same clearing that Eragon had camped at while travelling with the Dwarves. "I remember this part of the woods." Eragon said smiling to himself. Sharing an unheard conversation with Saphira. I'm tired Orion. I can't fly anymore. Not now. Ranth'Ur whined. It was a first for him too. I know big guy, just tell Saphira and she'll know what to do. Feel better for me Ranth'Ur, I love you big guy. Orion said sharing images of their time together.
In what seemed like no time they were sleep. In the morning before the sun had risen as Eragon had said, they left. Ranth'Ur was back to his usual self which brightened Orion's mood considerably. By midday again as Eragon had predicted, they were at the gates of Ellesmera. Bloodgrahm-Elda may we enter the city? Eragon asked the Elf guarding the gates. As long as you leave the peace Shur'Tugal. The elf Replied. And so they were in Ellesmera, after two long harsh days' they had arrived. They were shown to the Rider's area of the city. The top of a tree that was completely open to the elements. "Wow the description is very accurate." Orion said eying the room. "Oh yes, the author is very accurate." Eragon said. "But business we have first, we're here mainly to get you a sword." He finished, Orion and Ranth'Ur laughed at that with happiness. "Thank you, Eragon." Orion said expressing his and Ranth'Ur's thanking him. "Your welcome, now, let me and Saphira take you there." They went to the smith, Runon-elda. "Hello Eragon! I assume, your sword is still intact?" She asked as they walked in. "yes, it's still intact, thankfully. It's a perfect sword, Runon-elda." Eragon said. "We heared you were free from your oath. And wondering if you could forge this young rider here a sword worth of him and his Emerald dragon." Eragon asked the old elf. She sighed. "Yes I believe I will but if he turns to Galbatorix I swear to you Eragon, I will hunt you down." She said eying Orion, for the next hour and a half they went through the procedure to get his sword.
