Alright this chapter is rewritten and I'm making this chapter actually good. I'll prove that I can write!

" Gugh," the erkling fell down clutching his heart.

Smiling evily Galbatorix closed his hand. He gazed over the destruction he had caused. The bodies of the erklings littered the ground. Their stone buildings were crushed. The buildings made of wood were burned. Swords were scorched black. Many swords were melted. Arrow tips were on the ground with the shaft and fledgings burned off. The steeds that the erklings rode were two animals. One was a large wolf( sort of like the warg riders of LotR but they are actual wolves that are just big) and the other beast was much like a large snake with wings (obviously my own likes and dislikes were put into the story). The large serpents seemed to have the strength to rival very young dragons but never grew more then one meter in diameter and ten meters long. This great size was rare for the snakes. The snakes' wings were large enough to fly with and right infront of them were the saddles. The wolves grew to horse size except lower to the ground and with stronger legs. The erklings improved their steeds through the ages.

Murtagh looked at Galbatorix and said," They should've joined us. But won't they join the Varden when Eragon comes around and choose fighting?"

" Yes, Murtagh. They are easily beingcoaxed to certainly fight us. We let a few scamper away, and they will speak of evil dragons. Eragon will thinkthey are his enemy and this race will no longer be put into the factor of our war."

" So you simply want to make those who decline you simply want to fight Dragons.

" Yes and if they choose to wage war with us when the dragon riders are back they will be EASILY destroyed. Now would you like to pay a visit to the Smithians?"

" They don't seem to be warriors but with all the smithing they do they will have much weaponry."

"Are you worrying?You were trained by me. Try to sway them then threaten them if they still refuse. Destroy a few towns if you must to sway or if they refuse but make sure you break all anvils and furnaces."

:Flashback:

" It is not true! This can't have happened," groaned the leader of the erklings. His name was Highlord Vodg'rth.

" I do not speak of lies. This one tells what happened to the great cities," said a ragged weak erkling whom had escaped.

" Then mybest scout, Videon( yeah I like the letter V), take your best scouts into the lands of the West, North, and Northwest. See if you can find who has those wretched four-legged flying scalies."

" Right then Overlord Vodg'rth. Thane, Jagger, you two and your patrols to search the Northwestern woods. Tass, Yensid, your patrols will go North. I alone will search the long since visited West. It is the least known lands and I will not be hindered by a group in a land of mysteries."

" You must travel with someone else!"

" I have Silendrile."

" An amphitere will not always save you. He can only protect you from some but not all.

" Then who do you want me to bring?"

Looking carefully Vodg'rth said to a guard," Astern! You are the head of the the scouts. Pick a fine student to travel with Videon."

Astern thougght and said," Thydial."

Videon," But is he not in Thane's patrol?

" Hedoesn't need to stay with us. He may join you," Thane said.

" Very well. Call Thydial and get him to prepare his supplies,"

:End Flashback:

" You see that is whywe're out here. Silendrile, Thydial, and I( that is what I call the snake things) are scouting your area. We can cover that puny desert in a few days if we have good rest for a few days and a nice, light meal. I have explained whywe're here now girl, speak," Videon said. Videon looked more like and elf then Eragon but still more rugged then an elf. Unlike elves who remained slim, he had a slightly more muscular build. Videon had blue eyes and short black hair. He wore a thin leather shirt and thin leather chaps over his blue shirt and black pants. Videon had a kind soul but easily lost his temper. He remained ruthless to whomever he needed to kill, child, woman, or man but was still gentle mostly. Of course Videon's ears were like an elves' tapered. Videon's weapons were a steelsword with a tint of blue in it. It had a iron guard and a wooden hilt wrapped in leather a held down with a thin silver wire. The pommel of the blade had a saphire cut in the shape of an egg. Videon looked about twenty-one.

Smiling the girl that Videon was talking to jumped off a rock and said in a jokingly voice," Mybest scout? Are you sure you're not paraphrasing?"

" I am the best. Now why are you out here and tell me of the lands you came."

" So bossy. Well I am Kaylee. I come from Bullridge, not that you'd know of the town. I'm a human, and Alagaesia is a little active recently. Wars and such with Surda and the Varden.I am out here because our ruthless king wanted my dad for the army and will not let him come back home. I wanted to get away from his land. I wasn't that far away from the Hadarac Desert to begin with and it wasn't long to get here." Kaylee said. Kaylee had blond hair that went slightly past he shoulders. Kaylee wore a sort of shirt and skirt The skirt was a light pink and the shirt was a buttoned maroon/red shirt. Kaylee's hair was in a ponytail held by a violet ribbon. Kaylee looked about eighteen or nineteen.

" You know you speak far too much information. I spoke what I had to. You don't know if you can trust us," Thydial said with a nice little smirk. Thydial had messy brown hair. His eyes were a nice brown as well. Thydial wore vambraces made of leather and had a light simple robe top and bottom. The rope was a musty green and brown that easily let him blend inif he didn't move he also wouldn't make any sounds.

" Well I don't trust you but I lost my food and pack so I don't have a choice but to die anyway!"

"Well you'll live longer by not trusting us," said Videon with a slightly evil look," you don't know the real us."

Kaylee turned her head sideways as if trying to observe Videon in a different manner." What are you anyway? An elf?" Kaylee guessed. ( note that if Videon had been speaking he never mentioned the actual word Erkling)

" Not even close. I am an erkling. A race that is all about fighting."

" Well Erklings, I'm to assume you have no manners right?"

"Eh?" Said the two in unison.

" I'm a young girl lost without food."

" Just hunt and eat some of that," shrugged Thydial.

" With what? I have no tools or weapons."

" Sorry used to judging by Erkling standards."

" HEY!"

The two erkling laughed a little and said," No offence to your people. It is just we are so much stronger and have lived among such people all our life."

" Well if you plan to scout here then you're going to have to change."

" Then would you like to travel with us.We don't mind the company. Besides you would helpus act more human like in this land. It's a nice trade. Your life for you being my escort."

Kaylee thought for a moment and said," You seem nice enough and I probably would die soon anyway. Fine I'll help you on one condition."

" And that would be?"

" You all take me to your land when we are done so I can escape Galbatorix."

" We'll see."

" But-"

Drawing his sword out till it's tip barely touched Kaylee Videon said," We'll see."
