Kara took a deep breath. It was now or never. She positioned her arms and feet, then began to climb the wall. After rising five hundred feet into the air, she came upon the only window. After pulling a dagger out of the hidden sheath located in the small of her back, she quickly undid the screws holding the window pane in place. Her senses were screaming at her 'whatch out for spells' but she knew that they were not a problem. Galbatorix assumed too much. She quickly climbed into the room and scampered down the wall. Moonlight flooded through the window, highlighting one stand and leaving the rest of the room in shadow. Kara's feet took her to the stand much more assuredly than she felt. The closer she got, the more she could see. Perched on the stand was a deep red velvet cushion, which supported an egg. She smiled. The egg was her favorite color: green. Stealing this egg would be a great win for the Varden, for this was no normal egg. It was the final unhatched Dragon Egg. Kara quickly grabbed the egg and made a quick dash to the window. She scampered up the wall and took the five hundred foot drop in stride, landing on her feet. Running across the courtyard took Kara to the secret exit that very few knew about. She tapped the correct stone and walked through the portal that emerged after the stones moved. Kara quickly walked to the nearest hitching post, where, sure enough, Grivdlyn was tied. Kara galloped off into the night, trying to ignore the pain that was growing in her palm.
"What do you mean, gone?" screamed the old man. Huddled in his chair, shrunken by age, and covered in dirt, Galbatorix did not look like the most feared man in Alagaesia.
"It is simply not there. We checked, none of the spells are tripped. It seems as if you walked in there yourself and took it," explained his apprentice, Murtagh.
"It does, doesn't it. Well, this takes the rebellious teenager act to a whole new level. I want her found. Burn down the whole Black District if you have to, just FIND HER!"
"Yes, my master."
