Here is the next chapter. Brought to you by the snowstorm we had here.

Rescue in Gil'ead Part 2

I was stunned to say the least. Out of all the people I thought I would meet here, she was the least expected. As I gazed at her face, I remember all the clues that I should have pay attention. The big one was the fact that Saphira was hatched and with Eragon and the fact that Eragon description of his dream was a close reminder of a picture of an elf.

Not that it matter anymore. I now had to get her out of this city. However, I first did a quick check to see what her condition was.

I placed my hand on her forehead and started to put some energy through her. The energy would go through her body and give me an accurate condition of her body.

What I found out was that she was suffering from a lot of cuts, bruises and gashes. However, the main problem was that she was suffering from a very rare but deadly poison. I knew how to treat the poison but I did not have the necessary ingredient needed. I could buy Arya some time but I had to do it where it was safe.

I removed my hand from her forehead and then used my chakra to create three shadow clones. I looked at them and said "you know what you have to do." They nodded their heads and went off in separate direction. I gave a small smile and thought "If this doesn't give Galbatorix a headache, I don't know what will."

I then reached for Arya and brought her over my shoulder like I was trained to do while I was in Taskforce 141. I started to make my way to my extraction point. However, I knew I had to make a quick side trip first.

As I was walking to the kitchen, my headset started to beep and I heard my voice said "This is Alpha in position Zulu setting charges." I nodded to myself and a few seconds later I heard a voice on my headset say "This is Bravo in position Omega starting to place our presents."

I reached the kitchen at that moment and I found a table that I can hide her under until it was time to leave. I then made my way to the armory to collect her weapons. While making my way there, I heard the voice on my headset say "This is Charlie. Had a little trouble with the guards but managed to set the charges at position Beta." I gave a small smile and canceled the flow of chakra to the three clones. Even if the guards were to discover the charges, they would have no way of knowing how to disable them.

I reached the armory and to my luck there was a guard standing in front of the door. I was starting to get annoyed because I really did not want to have to kill guards as they could alert the rest of them to my presence. I reached for another throwing dagger and tossed it at him. The dagger sailed through the air and landed blade first in his neck. He gave a gurgle before collapsing to the ground.

I then made my way over to him and closed his eyes. I then opened the door and dragged the body inside. I then placed the body behind some shield before going over to collect Arya's weapons. Due to the fact that I was staying with the elves, I knew which ones belong to her. I got her sword and bow and made my way back.

Once I got to the kitchen. I made my way back to the table that Arya was hiding under. I placed the sword back in her sheath and slung the bow around her shoulders. I gave a tired sigh and said to Spyro "Are you in position yet?"

He replied "Almost just give me a few more minutes."

I nodded my head and settled down in silent. There was really nothing left to do but hold up here. I was the most boring part of the mission but with all the training I had, I had learned the value of patience.

As I waited, I heard the sound of a door opening and I dared to look to see who had entered. What I saw set a chill in my heart.

It was a man but I knew that was far from it. He was tall and I could sense his power. Now normally I would not be scared by something like that but there was a difference with this one.

This one had red hair.

I had heard the report but I thought that they were just speculation. Now I had to believe it with my own eyes.

There was a Shade on the lost.

I quickly looked away and shouted in my mind Spyro "We got a problem. I have a visual on a Shade!"

"A what?" he replied in shock. I growled in annoyance and replied "A Shade. You know magicians controlled by spirits that have red hair and red eyes and immortal except for a stab to the heart."

He replied "I know that. I just cannot believe it."

I then asked "How close are you now." he said "Almost there just give me a few minutes." I replied "Alright but be quick."

I then started to drag Arya to a table close to the opposite wall of the Shade. I had to use my Shadow powers to prevent the Shade from seeing us. Once I got to the table, I took a deep breath and pulled out my bow and nook an arrow.

I then judged the position between myself and the Shade. I tried to imagine the shot going through my mind exactly as I see it. Once I felt myself prepared, I shot myself from under the table and drew my bow back. I could see that the Shade was a bit surprised and I used that moment to fire the arrow. My target was his heart.

Oh man stuff just got dangerous.
