I am sorry for the delay but college has been causing me to have some serious writer's blocks as of late. Bear with me and hope I can get through this.

Even Riders make Mistakes

I was helping to make dinner as Eragon went to find some water. The air was peaceful and calm and I found myself enjoying the day. The cold air was grazing my exposed skin like a fly.

As the minutes passed, I notice that Eragon was taking his sweet time on getting back with the water. I hope that nothing was wrong.

However, it seems that the universe just loves to ruin my days.

The first thing I notice was that Saphira, who was lying down at a nearby shade, suddenly bolted up and run towards the trees. I practically jumped up from where I was at and so did Brom as we saw Saphira start to tear apart the forest.

"Something must be wrong with Eragon." I said to Brom.

He nodded his head and we were about to come into the forest to find him when Saphira suddenly pounced on top of us. She was trying to cover us with her wings while she was looking around the clearing; fear was clear in her eyes.

I was now starting to get annoyed by this until I heard Saphira tail move and then a voice shout "Stop. It's me!"

I knew that it was Eragon and I shouted "Eragon, get your dragon to let us go now before I do something I might regret later."

I heard Eragon say "Let them go" he then added "Didn't you tell them."

I was on the verge of exploding right now but all my anger drained away when I heard Eragon say "I found an Urgal footprint. And it's fresh."

My face went serious and I went straight for the fire to put it out. Brom was the same thing and he went to saddle up his horse. I notice that Eragon was not moving and ask "what's wrong with your arm?"

"I broke my wrist."

I mutter a curse in my frustration and went to saddle up Eragon's horse, once it was all ready, I help Eragon get on him and then heard Brom telling Saphira to stay low which I thought was a good idea. Even though she lacks her fire ability, she will still be able to handle a couple of Urgals.

I was almost tempted to bring Spyro down as well but I then remember my reasons not to. Instead, I said to Spyro "We encountered some Urgals and are going to try to escape; I need you to keep an eye on them and tell me their position."

"Sora…running away from a fight? I thought I will never see the day." Spyro said in my mind. I also could feel his head shacking in a mock surprise.

I gave a grunt and said "Better to live today and fight tomorrow then fight today and die." I then closed the connection enough so I would be able to still sense Spyro without having to communicate.

We ran through the evening. I notice that the horses were starting to get tired but the sound of the Urgal hunting horns sounded off in the distance was enough for them to keep going.

It was then that Brom had Eragon switch from the horse to Saphira. I thought that it was a good idea and got on Eragon horse so we could move faster.

I then heard the sound of a horn at the distance and I thought "that was too close."

Spyro then said "Don't stop moving."

I was about to ask why when I heard another horn sound, this one almost being right on top of me and Brom.

We renewed our pace but we were unable to maintain our distance from them. I was reaching for Starfang when I notice that Saphira was coming in for a landing. I was panicking thinking "What the heck is Eragon doing?"

It was then that Saphira landed in between us and the Urgals. I pulled on the reins and watched as I heard the sound of an Urgal talking.

Events happen so fast that before I knew it, I felt the force of magic coming from Eragon and saw the Urgals getting lifted up into the air. I knew the amount of energy needed was going to be enormous.

Panic overrides my sense of reason and I jumped off the horse and made a beeline towards Eragon and Saphira. I watched in slow-motion as Eragon started to fall off of Saphira.

I slide on the ground and managed to catch him. I gave him some of my energy so he would die from using that ability but he would lose consciousness. I felt an Urgal coming up to Saphira and faster than the wind; I slashed him in half with Vigilance.

I saw the other Urgals trying to escape. I pointed Vigilance up to the sky and shouted "Gather"

A black orb appeared and started to suck the Urgals to the center. I saw the panic coming in their eyes and they tried to break free. I gave a sigh and started to channel my ice powers to form sub-zero ice daggers between my fingers. I then threw them at the Urgals, impaling them in the head and chest, killing them instantly.

When the Magnetga spell ended, the debris and Urgals fell to the ground. I went over to count them and said a curse under my breath. Counting the one that I killed, three had managed to escape.

I looked over at Eragon and placed him back on Saphira and we flew off to a clearing.

Once we got there, I got Eragon down and put him under a blanket. I saw that Brom was getting on Saphira and I said "I'll keep a watch on him." It was more of a statement then a question.

Brom nodded his head and Saphira took off with him on board. I looked over at Eragon, sleeping peacefully. The only thing I could think was "Idiot"

I then went to make a fire and get some dinner before going to sleep.

Nothing much to say except to continue to enjoy it.
