Sorry for the wait. Band camp. Still got it (grumbles) Disclaimer: Don't own Eragon. Only a few more chapters left!
TAZRIN GET YOUR BUTT IN HERE NOW! Rose screamed in her head. No answer. TAZ!
Smnbwy lala. Taz mumbled back. Rose froze (it rhymes!). Taz was poisoned. Well, put to a sleepy state. By the look on Eragon's face, Saphira was too.
"Eragon, what are we suppose to do?" Rose asked him, horrified. Eragon gave her a confused look.
"I have no idea. Use magic, I guess." Eragon whispered, preparing himself. Gimdal was laughing and talking about his evil plan. Rose screwed up her eyes. Think, think. She told herself. Then, something came. She remembered her father giving her Zar'roc and telling her that if you pass a sword down the bloodline, you become connected to the sword. Would it still count? Morzan had it. So, would it? She sighed. Better try.
She calmed herself down and made a mental picture of Zar'roc. She felt magic absorbed around her. Come to me. She whispered, taking out her hand. She opened her eyes. A crash was heard, and some of the giant doors broke. Zar'roc was flying in the air, and landing straight in Rose's hand. Gimdal, Billy Bob, Eragon, and the others watched, impressed. She closed her eyes again. Hopefully it would work. She imagined other swords. The ones she saw guards wear. Come to us and lay on the ground in front of your masters. She whispered again. The door finally broke off, from all the flying swords. Swords landed on the floor, in front of their masters. Rose gave Zar'roc to Eragon.
"How'd you do that?" Eragon asked her, in awe. Rose shrugged. She wasn't suppose to reveal the future. They brought up their swords. The Urgals did too. Then, the battle begun. (A/N: You guys would kill me if I left it here. But thankfully, I'm not.)
Suddenly, Taz and Saphira appeared in the doorway. Their eyes were bloodshot and liquid fire was spilling out of Taz's mouth. He must have been drugged lastly, for Saphira looked in better shape. She roared and charged at the Urgals. She spurted out a weak flame. The flames bounced off the Urgals' armor. Rose gasped. That was fire proof armor. Very rare in this time and age, but not rare in her time and age. They were all going to lose. The dragons couldn't kill them. The Urgals were more prepared and equipped then them. Tears stung Rose's eyes. Everyone was going to die from her stupidity. Eragon, Lily, Thomas, and lots more. Murtagh and Ayra would die of starvation.
Something whispered in her head. It wasn't from Taz or anyone else. It was from one of her memories at school. It was a spell actually. A dark spell. It was banned in her era. She bit her lip. That would make them win. But she would cost dearly. And Taz too. Was it worth it? She wasn't suppose to be here. She was suppose to be in her era, not these people. It was worth it. Tears dropped and slid slowly down her cheeks. But what if she never returned home? She loved her brother, mother, father, and everyone else. She could change. She had to find out. She gave a shaky breath and closed her eyes.
Liquid fire stopped dripping out of Taz's mouth and he became more assertive. He could now feel what Rose was feeling. She was scared. He pushed the thought out of his head and went on stomping at the Urgals, realizing that fire bounced off the armor.
Death born hellions unite. Kill the Urgals that are attacking. She whispered, after gathering a lot of magic. She opened her eyes. Half of the Urgals were fighting. Suddenly, the ground shook and a loud hellish sound came. Then eight people showed up. They were all dark looking creatures with red eyes. They rode horses that snorted fire and burned the ground where their hooves touched. Their manes were on fire, their eyes red. The creatures on top of the horses had dark swords with a blue aura surrounding it. They galloped across the room, the hellish sound getting louder and louder. The creatures brought out thier swords, and swiped half of the Urgals. Their swords went straight through the armor and they fell instantly to the ground. People, who weren't already fainted, watched in shock, awe, and horror. The creatures then galloped to Rose. They spoke in a strange language and they pointed thier swords at her. A blue mark appeared on her arms and then they galloped off, the hellish sound getting quieter and quieter. Then it all stopped. The fighting continued.
Taz loomed over Rose. I can't believe you did that! Do you want yourself killed? It's not worth it! Do not ever do it again! Taz bellowed. He knew exactly what would happen. His eyes were mere slits and his body was shaking violently. Rose did not look at him. Her eyes, watery, swept over the remaining Urgals. All of them were fighting now and Gimdal looked smug. She had to do it. Taz stalked off to go beat some Urgals. She sighed. Here it goes again.
She call them again. Everything returned again. Taz looked furious and began to yell and cry. She had never saw him so upset and scared before. She walked to Eragon, who was watching the hellish creatures in awe. She grabbed Zar'roc. She put Zar'roc to her lips and spoke fast. Go into Gimdal. Kill him. Do not fail me. She whispered. Then she threw it. It flew straight and true towards Gimdal. He never expected a thing. It hit him in the chest. He screamed. But the hellish sounds covered the dying scream. Suddenly, the tallest and scariest creature raised his sword up to Rose. Then brought it down. She heard screams. She hit the floor hard and then she opened her eyes.
Eragon was over her, fear in his eyes. Her body screamed. Her breath came in ragged breaths. Taz was laying beside her, moaning. White light appeared in the corner of her eyes. Lily was crying off to her left and Thomas was holding her. Tears were everywhere. Billy Bob was right next to Eragon, holding Rose's hand. "Ev...everything w..w...will be okay." Eragon said shakily, tears streaming down his tan cheeks. Rose knew he was lying. She was going to die. She shook her head slowly. "No. Don't do that." Eragon told her. She looked at him. He stared in her eyes. He leaned down and his lips gently touched hers. Eragon kissed her softly.
"Taz. I want him." Rose said softly. Eragon slowly put her down, and Taz slowly crawled over to her. He laid his head on her chest.
Well... I guess this is the end. Taz said mournfully.
Yes. Rose said. Taz, I want you to know, that I appreciate everything you do. I'm glad I have you as a dragon. I got lucky and I got the best dragon in the whole world. I love you, Taz. Rose whispered.
Thank you. You are smart, Rose. You would have been a great dragon rider. I'm the luckiest dragon in the world. I love you too, Rose. Taz told her.
That's pumpkin head. Rose said. Taz laughed then coughed.
Then Rose lifted her head, staring at everyone. "I want to know, that I have respect for you guys. At first, I thought you were just some stupid old extinct people, but you're more than that. Oh, Ayra and Murtagh are locked up in some closet. Thank you guys." Rose told them. Lily sobbed harder. Eragon just looked down. Billy Bob was bawling. Rose and Taz took one more breath, looked at each other with a smile, then closed their eyes. Taz and Rose never took another breath.
