Eragon

Chapter 1:

Eragon goes to Carvahall, but an army of urgal hears of his arrival and decides to attack Carvahall. Saphira goes to Arya to get help from the elves. Eragon stays and warns Horst. As the small town accumulates its forces, the urgals advance. As they meet outside of Carvahall, the battle begins...

Chapter 2- The Battle for Carvahall

Eragon strung his bow and fired. He tried avoid using any magic because the villagers still were oblivious of Saphira and his skills as a dragon rider. He stood in the back and continously fired. Finally he ran out of arrows so he threw his bow and quiver onto the floor. He drew Zar'roc from his belt and charged into battle. Horst stared at Eragon with amazement. Everyone was surpirsed of how well Eragon was fighting. Blood spilled everywhere. To Eragon's right and left, men charged hopelessly towards the urgals. Behind him, archers launched their arrows semi-successfully at the urgals, who blocked with their large shields. Eragon cut down the urgals one by one. Suddenly, a scream rang through the air. Eragon turned around and discovered that Horst had been struck. The urgal swung its large club into Horst's side, causing him to collapse. Eragon lifted his hand and screamed.

"Boetq Istalri (RTB)!" The gedwey ignasia shined immensly. A giant fire immerged from his palm and destroyed all the urgals around Horst. Eragon rushed to his sides and helped Horst up.

"Eragon, what did you do? Did you use magic?" Horst seemed to recover from the blow quickly. Without waiting for an answer, he returned to battle. Blood spilled from cuts and wounds. Dead bodies lie on the ground, being trampled by feets. Eragon looked around. They were losing. The men began to withdraw slowly. They had to retreat or too many people were going to die. Saphira hurry! The battle is not going well...we're losing!

I'm coming Little One. True to her word, Saphira arrived just that moment. She swooped down and stomped on many urgals. Everyone had started to run away, but they still stood awestruck at the enormous creature. Eragon leaped onto her back and they lifted off the ground.

Just on time Saphira. Did the elves agree to help?

Look for yourself, Little One. Eragon looked down at the distant floor. Arya rode a horse and was screaming something in the ancient language. Behind was an army of elves.

Saphira, let me down now. You can fight from the sky, i have to be with Horst and Arya.

As you say, Little One. She dropped Eragon in an area cleared by her fire. Eragon ran into battled beside Arya and Horst. With the arrival of the elves, the men began to push forward and drive the urgals from Carvahall. Slowly, one by one the urgals were slayed. In one final blow, all the archers fired their last arrows and emptied their quivers. All the elves, including Eragon, used magic. And any other attacked with anything they could use. Every single urgal had been slayed. Cheers were echoing throughout Carvahall, Therinsford, and the Spine. Eragon looked at Arya and thanked her for all her help.

"Eragon... good bye." She and all the other elves then retreated back into Du Weldenvarden, the forest of their home. Horst walked up to Eragon.

"Eragon, why did the elves bother helping us?" Horst stared at Eragon, half expecting Eragon to know the answer.

Tell him, Little One, he cared for your family and has cared for you. He has helped you and you have helped him. The least you can do is tell him.

Saphira, are you sure? It could put him danger.

Yes it could, but he deserves the right to know.

Okay then Saphira, wait by our old home, I'll be by soon. Eragon took Horst to Saphira and introduced him. They talked and explained everything that had happened from the time he left to now. Horst listened without interruptions. Of course Eragon left things out such as the specific use of magic, his training that is to be held in Ellesmera, and most of all, the Varden. Once Eragon was done, Horst sat there, thinking.

"So, Eragon, you had quite an adventure didn't you? I'm guessing that you'll leave again?" His voice softened and his expressions calmed.

"Yea, I have to tend to some business. Tell everyone I said good bye. It might be a while before I return." Eragon mounted on Saphira and prepared to leave.

"Wait."

"Hmm?"

"Eragon, good luck." Eragon smiled and Saphira flew away. He knew he couldn't stay. He'd attract more trouble for everyone. He had to go somewhere that would be safe. It has to be fortified just in case more urgals were attracted to attack. Also, he couldn't return to the Varden, at least not yet. His training wouldn't start for a while. The only place that came to mind was...Teirm. He could go there and visit Joed or Solembum and Angela. As they flew over the mountains, the sn began to set. Eragon decided to stop away from the city. Saphira was free to do whatever she wanted so long as she was't see or didn't leave the area of their communication. Eragon walked to the city gates.

"Who goes there?" This guard seemed to be the same one from last time.

"It is I, Evan, I arrived here a while back with my uncle."

"Where is he now, boy?"

"He passed away quite a while ago..." Eragon's voice began to trail off. He thought of how Brom saved his life, of how Brom taught him, of how Brom was like a father to him. Eragon thought of diamond tomb and how peaceful Brom looked.

"Oh, well, come on in then." The gates opened and Eragon entered the old city. He went straight to Angela's shop and entered.

Solembum? Are you there?

It's not like I would be anywhere else at this time of hour.

Oh. Is Angela here?

Yes.

Where is she?

Behind you. Eragon turned around with surprise to see the witch.

"Oh, its you Eragon. Why I haven't seen you since that incident at Farthen Dur. How's your back?"

"Fine, thanks." Eragon winced as he thought of the large scar on his back from slaying the shade, Durza.

"So, do you have a place to stay?"

"No. Not really. I just got into town."

"Oh, then you can stay here. With me and Solembum, but mostly Solembem." Eragon was confused about the last bit of information. Apparently, Angela noticed this and immediately answered his unasked question.

"I don't really stay here. I wander around alot."

"Oh." Angela showed him where he could sleep. She brought him supper and left after he thanked her. He thought of how long he was going to stay.

Saphira? Are you awake?

Yes Little One. What is it that you need?

I'm staying with Angela and Solembum. How long do you think we should stay?

Maybe a couple days. Then we could go back to Farthen Dur.

Alright then. We'll leave in two days time. Good night Saphira.

Good night Little One. As the night drifted. The two fell asleep. As they slept through the night, they pondered of their future encounters. Once they got to Farthen Dur, they would be safe at last.
