After the girls had left the council they walked back to their room. After spell proofing it so that no one could eaves drop they sat down in the main room and called Agni. Agni at this point was fly with Saphira who was trying to teach him important flying technique and not flirting. So when the girls called him he flew back to the tower and dropped into their room through the opening in the top.

After he explained to the girls that the opening is enchanted so that only dragons can pass through they began to talk, so to speak. After Era and Yuaza explained to Agni what happened Era asked Agni So what should we do? I mean we can't not swear! But then again even if we did swear I don't think that they would trust me. Just because I look like Murtagh and I wear a stone that looks like Morzan's family jewel. This is definitely Murtagh's fault!

Okay Era I get that your upset, but can you calm down a minute? Agni asked

Fine! I'll calm down .Era thought in a not so calm thought.

Anyway Agni do you agree with Era and I that we should swear to the Varden? Yuaza asked Agni.

Yes, I do think that we should swear to the Varden, But which part? We could swear to Lady Nasauda or we could swear to the council of Elders. Agni answered.

You are right. I think we should swear to Nasauda because she is the head of the Varden and I heard that that's who Eragon swore to. Yuaza said.

I agree, also wouldn't want to swear to people that think that I am a traitor! Era thought hotly.

Era I thought you were going to drop that subject. Yuaza thought nicely but for some reason that made Era even more upset.

"NO, I SAID I WOULD CALM DOWN AND I CALMED DOWN, BUT NO! THAT WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU! SO NOW WHAT EVER I THINK IS STUPID BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT, RIGHT?" Era yelled at the top of her lungs, then turned around and stormed out the door.

Yuaza sighed she had just seen the legendary anger of Era. She remembered when Era and her were little girls. Era used to scream and kick until she got her way, Though Yuaza had not seen Era's anger for a long time because Era had learned how to control it, she new that one day it would come out.

Hallway:

Era was in a huff. She wanted to hit something or even better someone. She was mad because she was astounded at the thought of other people not trusting her and another reason which I won't say but this reason usually puts girls in bad moods. Though she had thought of joining Galboratrix it never seemed like that great of an idea, but to walk into a room and people just judging you by your looks and jewelry was insulting.

Era turned down another hallway and was surprised to see a huge room full of people practicing fighting. She saw a boy practicing fighting with a knife. Era grinned to herself. She walked over to where the boy was practicing. "You want to fight a real person?" Era asked.

The boy turned to her "What? Fight you?" he asked amazed.

"Yeah, why not?"

"Because I think it would be unfair."

"Maybe but still." Era grabbed her knife and got into a fighting stance. The boy got into one as well. The boy made the first move he stabbed but the knife never made contact with Era. She simply stepped to the side and laughed when the boy fell on his face.

"You're right. It was unfair." Era said in between laughs.

The boy groaned and stood up and dusted himself off. Then turning towards Era he said "Oh I was just taking it easy on you."

Era grinned and rolled her eyes. "Sure"

The boy tried again and ended up with the same ending. The boy tried again and again for a whole afternoon. As the day went on Era got more and more playful, like a cat playing with a mouse. Era was the cat and the boy was the mouse. Meanwhile the boy got more and more upset. Then suddenly the elf Arya appeared.

"Do you want to fight some one else?" she asked Era. Who at this point was standing triumphantly over the boy for the umpteenth time that day. Era nodded and drew her sword as Arya did the same. Though Era was not the most skilled swordsperson in the world she had improved a lot since Eragon tested her a week before. Era thought that at least she would be able to put up a good fight.

She was wrong. When the two swords first touched Era knew she had no chance of winning. Arya attached over and over again letting Era only block. Era tried to go on offense but every time Arya was a step a head of her. After what seemed like an eternity to Era Arya was able to disarm Era.

"You put up a good fight for some one who just learned the art of sword play." Arya said as Era caught her breath. "But you must remember that you can attack even when you must defend."

"You mean like when I sword fight?" Era asked

"No, I mean every where in life. Do you think that if a castle is under siege the people inside of the castle just defend their castle?"

"No, of they didn't attack then they would be under siege forever."

"That's right. You must attack if you want to win."

"Oh, Arya I heard that if it was not for Yuaza , Agni and I the Varden and Gaboratrix would be evenly matched. Is that true?"

"No if it weren't for you three Galboratrix would win and all hope would be lost."

"Oh, I was just wondering."

"It's okay to wonder. But there is one thing that you must learn before you can defeat anyone, that is completely beyond your reach.'

"And what is that?"

"Humility."

"And what is that?"
