Sorry for the wait, but I don't have much time to write. Thanks for the reviews, but when you do leave one, I've noticed that your guys say "awsome chapter" or "post soon" over and over again. I'd appreaciate it if you didn't do that, because after so many identical reviews, it starts to seem like the 1111 reviews that have no point whatsoever. I'm not saying "don't ever leave any like that again", I'm just asking not to do so many of them. I've also redone a few chapters (nothing to really reread, just error corrections).
Discaimer: Few things mine, few Wildskysong's, but most belong to Paolini.
Arrival
Nasuada peered up the narrow stairway. There was still ice, and her legs were stiff from days of sleep. The light reflecting from the ice blinded her as she tried to open them. the fact that it was noon and that she had had her eyes closed for several days did nothing to help. She slowly climbed up the pathway, making sure to place each foot carefully and securing it with her hand. After a few minutes of careful climbing, she reached the top of Belatona's wall. Before she could get her eyes adjusted to the light, she heard the thumping of dragons' wings. The beats were quicker than they were supposed to be, as if the Saphira and Esmor were in a rush to get there. Jörmundur gasped, and Nasuada forced her eyes open. There, just before the light blinded her again, she saw a terrible sight. There weren't two dragons flying; there were three. One green, another blue, and the last red.

Oww, that hurts. Esmor limped to the fire, his leg was raw from a wound he had gotten in battle. His wings were better, but clawed too. Esmor, thought Thorn, you should fly ahead of us, we can support you if you fall, and then we can slow down if you start to lag behind. Esmor nodded, and looked at a hunk of deer meat on the ground, recently put there by Saphira. Saphira told me to tell you to eat that. She said that with that leg hurting, you might not be able to hunt.
Thank you Eragon. The green dragon bent down to devourer a haunch. Arya, sitting next to Eragon, grimaced in pain, reacting to Esmor's wound. Allright, once you're done that, I should heal the next layer of skin. If I heal too many at once, you could suffer tissue damage. Esmor nodded and bend down the rest of the way. As Arya healed him, Eragon prepared Saphira's saddlebags and packed them onto Thorn. They were meant to catch up with her just before Belatona, so she could hunt some more for the Varden. Assuming that the stores of food had been washed out, she would bring at least ten deer, and have all dragons carry some.
They took off a few minutes later, making sure to douse the fire with magic to avoid attention. As they soared above the treetops, Eragon heard Saphira's voice. Eragon, I've gotten all the deer I can carry, and then some. Could you bring everyone here? She sent an image of her location; a small encove filled with a dozen deer, as well as a moose. Allright Saphira, I'm coming. "Everyone, Saphira has the deer ready, follow me and Thorn. He directed Thorn to Saphira's location, and he landed in a clearing next to the encove. They picked up the deer, and Saphira had Eragon put the Moose on her back, as it was too big to be carried comphortably in her mouth. They took off again, and glided high enough to see Belatona from several leagues away. There, cried Arya, on the wall of Belatona, Jörmundur and Nasuada! Eragon peered and saw them too, just before Jörmundur turned around and waved his hands in a frantic motion. Archers raced up the pathways into view and knocked their weapons. Another waved of Jörmundur's hand let them loose to fly towards the three dragons.

Sismor climbed out of his canoe and looked up at the walls of Teirm. Patrols circled the walls, holding bows and javelins. Sismor stabbed the bottom of the boat and pushed it into the water. He took one last look at the rugged boat before diving into the woods.
