Hi again! I am sorry it took a long time, well, not really. If you have read the Wardstone Chronicles, this will be a very cool chapter for you, and if you have not read it, you really should. The name on the chapter is, if you have not understood yet, a question (duhh) that will be in the chapter.

The winds shook the sky like a giant hammer, and made Saphira noxious. The winds were extremely strong; trees was ripped out from the ground and tossed into the air like a stone given to a bored child. The storm came upon the dragon and Rider and forced them down to the ground. Dragons flew in the horizon, away from the storm. Saphira had lost her power over the sky, and flew hither and thither in the ravaging winds. Saphira had no control, and almost screamed in Eragon's mind.

"Eragon! Help me! The winds have taken control over my wings, and soon we will crash at the ground, and brake all the bones in our body." Eragon had tried too help, he used all his power to hold away the winds, but his powers were not enough. "I am trying, but the storm is too great! I will try to lead you to the ground, but it may kill me, lend me your power!" Eragon answered Saphira's begging. Eragon knew that if Saphira gave Eragon her power, she might die, and Eragon suspected he did not have enough energy to lead them down. Damm! Eragon thought. The moment I find Saphira, and we start to fly, we are ripped too pieces by winds!

Saphira gave Eragon some of her power, and Eragon used the Ancient Language to slowly lead them down, while holding the storm at bay. The spell needed too much power, so Eragon opened his mind to take the energy of whatever was near. Eragon gave up, as all there was were the winds. As Eragon withdrew his mind, a male voice screamed in his mind. "Stop the spell! Stop the spell! Amelia is here, and she will get you down safely, but you need to stop the spell, or you will kill yourself!" Eragon noticed the voice as Darmagos, and Eragon stopped the spell.

The winds took hold of Saphira again, and she was tossed around in the massive winds. Eragon gave his powers to Saphira, to hold her alive. Darmagos spoke again. "You must make a shield. A shield against fire! Now! Do it or you will be burned to crisp!" Eragon spoke up, and said the words he needed. "Skölir nosu fra brisingr!"

Eragon was drained of magic, and Saphira lent some of hers, so that Eragon did not die. The draining stopped as Eragon knew the shield came over them. The shield was invisible, and as thin as air, but it would stop fire. Nothing else than fire.

As the winds ravaged them, they saw a light. Then they heard a blasting sound, and fire covered their vision. The fire did not harm them, as the shield did its work. The fire stopped the wind, and Saphira regained her control over her wings. She quickly flapped her wings, and moved away from the storm. When they went away, they saw the extent of Amelia's powers. The storm was at least a mile in radius, and in the middle was a little eye, where the storms were away. The entire storm was in fire, and the fire so hot it used all the oxygen in the storm to withhold itself. The storm died away, and as it did, so did the flames. All that were left from the storm, was destructions and a bad, sour smell.

Saphira flew down to Amelia, who has sitting on a deckchair on the platform that held the Messenger. "Oh my, that's my trim of the day. Sorry if it got a bit hot up there, but I had to save you. And do not fear for my wellbeing; these storms are regular in this country. And when they come here, I always stop them; can't have our home blown to the sea." Amelia gave Eragon a smile, and left the platform as a fireball. Darmagos walked to them, which was not hard too find out, as little earthquakes warned his approach. "I would like you to rest after that flight, but what I mean is not relevant. Grimalkin is in your room, and she is not very happy. She say something about an oath, and when I told her to get out, she chased me away with strange magic. If I were you, I would not keep her waiting."

Eragon had heard all he needed, and Saphira headed for their room. She did not fly, she ran all she could. When they came at the doorway, Eragon saw the doorway was a shattered, probably the doing of Darmagos. Once they walked inside, Eragon saw a woman with angry eyes. Saphira walked forth, and went into Grimalkin's head, and said what you would expect. "Get away from out room before a brake your bones and use them as toothpicks!" Grimalkin stood her ground, and spoke to Eragon. "When you freed me, you gave me your word on the Ancient Language that you would help me find Tom if I helped you find Saphira. You are sitting on your fucking dragon, and have not even thought about your words! HAVE YOU NO HONOR!"

Saphira got pissed as the witch talked so badly about her Rider. She jumped forwards, and tried to hit Grimalkin; not too hard though, she knew Eragon needed her, but not too soft either, so she could teach the witch a lesson. Grimalkin dodged the paw, and drew her knives. She slashed at the attacking paw, drawing blood.

Eragon screamed. "STOP! Stop this fight! I gave you my word Grimalkin, but there is a war coming. We need to rest! I promised you I would help you find Tom, but we need to gather energy so we can win this war!" Eragon dismounted Saphira, and walked up to Grimalkin. "You have no honor! I went on this journey so you could help me find Tom. I will leave, and agree to your terms if you win the fight. Hold Saphira out of it, or I will kill you both. If I win, we leave at sunrise tomorrow."

Eragon was stunned. "Wait, what? Fight? I will not fight you!" Grimalkin smiled at Eragon's words. "Well then I will win easily. I normally like to fight hard fights, but not always."

Grimalkin slashed on of her knives over Eragon's chest, and hit the magical shields he had made. Eragon smiled. Grimalkin sheathed her knives, and took up the starblade. She slashed at Eragon again, and this time his shields did not work. The blade cut his left leg, and blood dripped from it. Eragon was stunned, and moved backwards. Saphira roared, and attacked the witch. Grimalkin turned ugly, her tongue forked and hair turned into snakes dripping with green poison. Waves of fear hit Eragon and Saphira, and both walked backwards. Grimalkin turned back to her old self, smiling. "One more time, Saphira, and I will kill you." Then she attacked Eragon. Eragon equipped Andrew's staff, as Brisingr and his armor was at the table behind Grimalkin.

The witch turned angry as she saw the staff, but she held her ground. Eragon watched Grimalkin, and as she ran for him, he saw all the movements in her body. The muscles moving, as her body ran at him. Eragon tried to find a weekness, and saw none that were great enough. But he saw one; one of her legs moved slower than the others, maybe there were pain in it.

Eragon walked forwards, and attacked Grimalkin's leg. The witch quickly parried, and cut Eragon at his belly, not too deep though. She smiled. Eragon used the staff and with all his abilities in a fight, he hit Grimalkin in her left shoulder, and with a spin, he came behind her, and ran for his sword. Grimalkin noticed what Eragon did, and waited. Eragon laid the staff on the table, and equipped Brisingr. Now the fight would be better. No one should talk to him as Grimalkin did, without punishment.

Eragon ran at Grimalkin and their swords met. "Brisingr!" Eragon screamed, and the sword took fire. The action surprised Grimalkin, and Eragon attacked. Their swords met, and a clang filled the air. Grimalkin fought with great passion and speed, and Eragon barely survived the first minute, but after that, he knew about Grimalkin's way of fighting. She did not follow a simple pattern, and changed her directions to break the opponent, but Eragon saw a pattern, and slashed at her right shoulder when she attacked with the same side. Brisingr hit Grimalkin, and drew a simple drop. The fire did not work, as the Starblade shielded her.

Grimalkin attacked again, and after a few minutes, Brisingr dropped out of Eragon's hands, and the Starblade came at his throat. Grimalkin smiled as she knew she had won.

"We will leave at sunrise tomorrow. Get some sleep, you will need it."

Yay! Grimalkin won over Eragon. Well I do not say "Yay!" because Eragon lost, but because now we might get some more exiting stuff. The least boring thing in all the chapters that was in the north was, well, right now! And under that, the power Amelia showed when she stopped the storm (that is possible. Think about magnesium. Magnesium burn with a temperature that uses the oxygen in carbon dioxide. The air in a storm is carbon dioxide. With no oxygen, no air, and no storm!), and the third when the stories was heard.

Now we will finally stop getting as bored as the word bored!

Yay! Now you will say "Yay!" too.

Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! YAY! YAAAAAAAAY!

Skölir nosu fra brisingr! = Shield us from fire!

Brisingr! = Fire!
