A Fatefull Choice
Ryan was going through all of his stuff while the others were waiting for him outside, the reason he was taking so long was because he was looking for the blue stone necklace, after a while of searching he finally found it, before he went outside he grabbed his broadsword so he would'nt forget, and he went outside where everyone was waiting for him, since Murtagh took Eragon's sword Zar'roc he had to grab a new sword, while he got his stuff Anthony said solemnly.
'So what do we do now? We found out we are fighting Murtagh who now has Eragon's sword, so how are we going to beat him?' After Anthony said that Ryan looked at the ground and said.
'Truth is...I don't know,, I wish I knew but there might be no way for us to win against Murtagh and Galbatorix.' While they were talking Scarlet was flying with Xunung and Saphira to scout the area, while they were scouting the area the found a large army of Urgals that were running towards Du Weldenvarden and they flew back to the fortress to see Ryan, Anthony, and Eragon getting ready to go when Scarlet said.
'Hurry guys we have to go! There is a small Urgal army coming this way!' After she said that Ryan was looking confused and said.
'What are you talking about we should've been able to sense them, not to mention smell them.' When he said that Saphira said.
'She isn't lying Ryan, they are coming and there are about 1200 of them, even if we did win we would be too exhausted to get away from another force they might send at us.' Ryan had a haunted look on his face after Saphira said that and he asked Anthony.
'Do you have any traps big enough for this one Anthony?' Anthony looked down at the ground and twirled his bow around a bit and then as if out of nowhere he had an idea and shouted.
'I got it! Saphira, Xunung, and Scarlet will wait here with Eragon while Ryan and I go and set multiple traps in the forest for them, even if they don't work we can retreat to Surda to rest, or we can try to lose them in the Haddarac Desert, though it will be a harsh journey we can lose them by flying, if that does'nt work for us we can try to get through the Beor Mountains, Murtagh can't attack us there, but Urgals can, so choose wisely Ryan.' Ryan looked at the ground for a minute and said.
'I have made my desicion we will go through the Haddarac desert.' After he said that they went to work to get the need provisions and equipment they would need to cross the Haddarac Desert, and once they were done Ryan got on Scarlet while Anthony got on Xunung and Eragon mounted Saphira, and Ryan whispered in the ancient language for safeguard when crossing the Haddarac Desert, and they flew off while the Dragons' scales were shining brightly in the sunlight.
