A/N Arrggg! I meant to update this like three days ago but didn't have
access to the computer as my dad had to unplug it to lay new flooring, so I
know I promised it for the weekend but there was nothing I could do!
Anyways, finished my SATs!! YAY!! I think I did really rubbish in science
and maths but the English one was a piece of cake (she says!). I remembered
some of the tips for writing I'd read on here and I'd received in my
reviews, they were greatly appreciated!!! So now, I'm going to shut the
hell up and get on with this coz I have A LOT to write, unless I shorten it
and split the rest of this chapter in two... ah well, see how long this
takes!
Reviewers
Gilraen Felagund Don't worry! I would never hurt Legolas! Not in this fic anyways.... But I just have a what will hopefully interesting plot line for Leggy and Arya.
KimmyStarr YES!!!! No typos for me!! I was very careful to check through it. Just please tell me if you see any in this chapter!
Dishrag1313 I love your reviews. They are so funny! Yeah Eragon you little teenage dirt bag!!! Ooh, I hope Legolas' roast didn't burn!
Kanaylle Yep, all the characters are going to stay in character... most of the time. Yep, SATs, hated them!!! But now they are done are the teachers can stop stressing, but wait, they've found something else to stress about.... GNVQ or GCSE coursework! Oh joy!!
Lazia Yay! I'm doing great job! Glad you like!
Hobbitfan2 Thanks!
Xiad Rusco Yep, and here's the next update! Hope you like!
Chapter 7 Farewell Garrow
The going was tough. Especially for Saphira who had the added weight of Garrow attached to her, even though Legolas was light enough and she barely felt him riding her. he urged her on silently.
On the ground the horse rode fast. Gimli grumbled and held on tight to Eragon who sat in front, clutching the horse's mane for dear life as it ran on.
When they came close to Carvahall, they stopped and Saphira landed, out of breath. Legolas helped Eragon to undo Saphira' harness, he would have to drag Garrow's stretcher the rest of the way. The Elf mounted the horse and he and Gimli rode off back up the road, Saphira behind.
Eragon pulled Garrow the rest of the way, Brom came to meet him, calling his, his face very bloody. Eragon could not hear much, everything was a blur. He was standing, then falling. Then he was unconscious.
When they were further away from Carvahall, Legolas and Gimli dismounted the horse. Saphira we must get to safety far from here. They will see the tracks where you landed further down the road, too many questions will be asked. Could you carry both of us? Legolas asked.
Gimli looked between his friend and the dragon, he knew they were exchanging silent words, he just didn't know what they were saying and he wished he had the ability the boy and the Elf had to speak with the dragon.
Yes she replied. The little man is small. I think I can carry him.
Legolas nodded. "Come Gimli. We shall ride Saphira to safety." Gimli looked uncertain but complied, then Legolas turned to the horse. "Hannon le roch. Le car mae. Si, na lain!" (Thank you horse. You did well. Now, be free!)
The horse neighed and galloped off into the forest, Saphira looked after it hungrily. Legolas mounted Saphira pulling Gimli up behind him. "Hold on!" he called as Saphira took to the sky. They soared high and fast over the trees of the Spine. Gimli clung onto Legolas and kept muttering to himself. "Don't look down! Don't look anywhere!"
Legolas was a very good rider. He knew exactly how to shift his weight and move with Saphira. He didn't cling to her as Eragon had done, he just went with the movements of her body, holding on lightly to her neck.
They landed in a clearing on mountains surrounded by trees where they could settle far from Palancar Valley. Saphira went off to hunt and Legolas and Gimli stayed where she had landed and made a fire which was enough to cook some of the meat Saphira brought back for them.
Two days later and Saphira sat with Legolas, both in deep concentration as Gimli watched them curiously. Saphira was trying to contact Eragon. She had tried for the past two days, but to no avail.
Eragon she called. ERAGON!
Saphira? came the reply at last.
Yes! I have been trying to talk to you for two days. Are your ears made of stone?
No! I haven't been well. But I'm better now. Where are you?
Saphira sent him a mental picture of where she was. I am here with Legolas and Gimli. Legolas wishes to speak with you. she broke off.
Eragon? Legolas called.
Legolas? I didn't know you could talk to me too. I thought you can only talk with Saphira.
No, you as well. How is your uncle?
Not good. His wounds are not healing and his fever hasn't come down yet. I just hope he will be alright.
And you, how do you fair? Legolas asked.
I'm fine. My legs are still sore but otherwise I'm well enough, listen I will have to stay here for a couple of days. Don't worry about me, I'm at Horst's now where I am staying. Legolas, I have to warn you, a group of men from the village went to the farm and saw Saphira's footprints, they are asking a lot of questions. said Eragon.
Act as if you know nothing, deny you know anything, we will be sure to stay way out of the way of Palancar Valley. I will speak with you soon. they too broke off. Legolas informed Gimli of what Eragon had just told him.
After a time, Saphira called to Legolas. He wont let me in! he wont let me speak with him. He is very sad. All he wants to do is wallow in his own sorrow.
Then Legolas realised, his uncle Garrow must have passed away.
Saphira was able to talk with Eragon the next day. I think you should hunt down the strangers and kill them. Legolas and Gimli agreed with me too. So what will you do? You can not stay where you are. Eragon, my tracks have been discovered. People will ask questions. Sooner or alter they will figure out the truth. she said.
I suppose you are right, as usual, said Eragon. Very well. Meet me at the farm with Legolas and Gimli. with that he broke the contact and slipped out of Horst's house. He intended to make a saddle for Saphira so he would not have to endure the pain of riding bareback again.
He would go to the tanners on the edge of the village and steal some leather, and also o meat from Sloan's.
But waiting for him in the trees was Brom. "Going some where?"
"Yes, I'm going to hunt down the strangers that killed Garrow," Eragon replied bluntly.
"And the meat? Are you sure that will be enough?" said Brom.
"For what?" asked Eragon.
"Your dragon boy," said Brom. Eragon gasped. "You think I didn't know about your dragon did you? Well now I do. You have the mark on your palm, the shining palm, gegwëy ignasia. You have touched a dragon hatching. And all I had to do was place together all the other clues and I figured everything out."
"Really? Well...erm..." he was trying to stall for time. He called Saphira I need you, now! We've been found out. Get here, bring Legolas and Gimli.
Very well, came Saphira's reply. She took off and when she was hovering above him she called out. I'm here! And so are Legolas and Gimli.
Good, now get down here! Eragon said.
No came the reply.
Brom was smiling. "She wont come down yet. Not until I tell her to. You see me and Saphira have talked. She trusts me and agrees that I should come with you on this revenge trip."
Eragon glared at Brom then agreed. He then spoke to Saphira. Meet us at the farm. she took.
"Oh and I found out who that stranger was I saw in the village. Your friend," Brom said casually.
Eragon stiffened. "What friend?"
"The Elf," Brom replied eyeing him, smiling strangely.
A/N There you go! The other half of chapter 6 for you! And hopefully I will be able to update a bit more frequently. Ok then, you all know what to do by now right? You see that little button that says 'submit review' then there's the little button next to it that says 'go', well you press that and then write something nice about my story!!! Please, and then I will give you a nice chapter. It should be interesting in chapter 8 as Brom meets Legolas and Gimli!!!
