I didn't get any reviews on the last chapter but as I don't care. I will just write mostly on weekends. Seriously though I do update faster when you comment. That is assuming I don't get writers block. As I can't think of a good plot for anyone else I will continue with Videon and Kaylee. At the moment they basically hate each other though. ALso it is never explained how Videon came to speak human. I tell now. A while back when the world was more at peace the Erklings were remembered. This is before the dragon war and while the erklings were hardly different from elves. The Erklings had met with the first 20 humans in Alagaesia and eventually with the help of dwarves wrote an entire scroll with the basic language. The scouts went through learning many languages to be a good scout and being able to blend in. thus Viden know basic human. I'm simply paraphrasing him to make it 1) Easier to read and 2) easier to write. If you want to know, which I bet you don't, where I get most of my ideas they come from a few main authors: Vivian Vande Velde, Cornelia Funke, Christiphor Paolini(duh), J. K. Rowling, Bruce Colville, the person who wrote The Fire Withen and Icefire, and a few authors who I've only read one of their work and thought it was semi-demi interesting.

" Keep up!" Videon yelled. Silendrile flew high above them killing the occassional creature to eat.
Kaylee groaned and said," If you hadn't noticed it isn't easy walking like this in a skirt!" Kaylee walked slowly behind Videon.
" Well if you want you can buy a horse when we reach a city. That is assuming you have any money," Videon said as he stopped for Kaylee to catch up.
" I don't. I my family hardly ever had any crowns with them. If I had any at anytime I would've ridden a horse out here to begin with. Can I ride Silendrile?"
" Sure if you knew how and didn't mind getting eaten."
Dropping her jaw Kaylee said," You'd let him eat me!'
" What he does isn't my business. Besides I hardly know you so I'd forget in due time."
Kaylee hmphed as she reach Videon and said," I think I would've rather starved." Videon shrugged as if he couldn't careless either way. The two continued walking until they reached Kaylee's starting point, Bullridge. Videon then told Kaylee to take all she needed and prehaps some food so they could continue without stopping much. Kaylee walked into the city with Videon following behind. They had managed to cover his ears with a hood on a cloak he wore. Kaylee wasn't given a particury good greeting as most people vaguely knew her. Bullridge was big enough for most people to not know some people but small enough that information traveled quicker then Eragon's sword could cut. Kaylee walked into her own house which wasn't fancy at all. It turned out she was the daughter of a blacksmith. Her brother, who was at the market, had been taking care of her mother, who was with Kaylee's brother. Kaylee wanted to leave a note but her house had no parchment of quills.Videon, bored to tears, took a piece of wood a using his sword Kaylee slowly carved a barely ledgible note into the wood. Kaylee took some clothes, very little food, one blanket, and a needle and thread. Kaylee had been right in saying her family was poor. Kaylee only could take two crowns without harming her families income.
Looking around Videon said," Bring this." He held up her father's dagger that her brother had never wanted even after their dad died. Kaylee gazed at the one weapon her father left at home before leaving to fight against his will. She took it and its sheath and put it on a rope which she wore like a necklace. The dagger wasn't ornate. A weak bronze blade with a wooden hilt and no guard. There was sliver of iron on each side of the blade curling in a small design.
With their supplies Videon and Kaylee left the city ready to do what he was told and find out who had the flying, four legged lizards who had destroyed some of their major cities. Kaylee wasn't exactly sure what Videon was doing but she had joined him anyway.

" Other villages might have siad yes but we do not," a wolfheart said as he continued to tell Galbatorix his village wasn't going to help. Galbatorix was personally making sure the wolfheart would regret that.The wolfheart coughed and as he tried to stand he said," Though I doubt and self respecting 'being' would join you."
" If you say so. Still if you have any foolish ideas of revenge my warriors shall have silver in their blades, arrows, spears, and any other pointed thing."
Several wolfhearts lay on the ground more dead then alive. The WH got up and said," We, Do, not, fear, you." pausing between each word needing to take a breath.
Galbatorix," Well you won't live to not fear me much longer. I can probably persuade some of your other dwindling tribes. How many are there of you left anyway? What is it two hundred? Or is it one hundred ninety-nine? Böetq istalri!" Flame flew everywhere killing the few living creatures there. Galbatorix shook his head and walked to a bloody corpse that had a pool of blood gathered. He then used the blood and scryed Murtagh.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" You don't need to fight for us! You simply must make us weapons. We will reward you all greatly.We will supply the resources and pay you a hefty amount," Murtagh said at the capital city of the Smithian race. It had taken him a while to reach their land, which was called Idaliathetic. Murtagh found the name annoyingly long but had not come to tell them their name was wrong and was instead glad they roughly understood him.
The king of the smithians, King Lillipwin, rose from his thrown. The King said," We do not use money. We trade goods a services. We smith for the sheer joy of it. It is not a trade among our lands.Everyone is a fine smith but most have other things like farming or sewing to do. How will we be rewarded for our services?"
" I could kill everyone here and hunt down your race till you submit."
The king laughed and said," You! I have armies. What can you do?"
" This." Murtagh thought this spell and with a bang a piece of land in the distance exploded wih such force the dirt traved far enough to reach back to Murtagh. This made most of the Smithians start to panic and the King himself looked scared.
" Fine w-we w-will-l w-w-w-work f-f-for you.Let all who came here return home and start crafting weapons. Put some silver in them a-and tell your villages and cities the news!" Murtaugh smiled knowing he had finally gotten some allies for the Empire. They wouldn't fight but once they made enough weapons they would have to anyway.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Tell me again why we let ourselves get surrounded."
Videon and Kaylee were surrounded by some slave Drivers.
" Calm down girl. It is under control. So you are telling me that there is no resoning with you and we certainly must become slaves?"
The leader of the slave drivers, who happened to be one of the slavers who escaped Murtaugh's wrath long ago, answered," You speak as is there ever was a choice. You and the girl will come with us. You even can speak unlike some we get from the blasted Desert. You seem strong enough to work as well. The girl isn't but i can think of a few things to do with her and some people who might buy her."
" Then we will fight. Girl get your dagger. There are about twenty of them. How many do you think you can take before I get to him."
" I dunno. Somewhere between zero and um zero. I'm not a fighter."
" Then you are all mine." Videon drew his saphire dyed sword and quickly one was slain. Silendrile flew down and with two serpent like strikes he killed two. One of them was about to slash Silendrile in half but Silendrile was smart and coiled around him and put down so much pressure a blood vessel popped and the man died. Videon, by now, had killed about five more. He had a cold glare in his eye and didn't let anyone excape. Soon there was one left. Videon smiled and said," One left. Wish you could back out now? Too late. Taste my sword like many others have." The slaver had so much fear in his eyes Kaylee couldn't watch as Videon cut his head off moving slowly at the beginning of the swing. Silendrile spit out one whom he had bitten and thought, yes like Saphira So do you think the girl will change her mind about following us? That is now that she has seen our true form. Heartless warriors who can't spare anyone who has harmed us.
We aren't that bad are we?
Who knows? To her we probably look the part. Look at your blade. It is covered with the blood of those people you killed.
I made it quick. They probably hardly felt a thing. Besides I had already tried the peaceful way.
I don't think the girl shares your opinion on the situation. Videon's gaze went to Kaylee who looked mortified. She took a step back dropping her dagger.
" I need to think for a while." Kaylee said. She knew Videon had to do but she had seen people dead but never knew how horrible it was watching the act take place. Her father had even been a warrior like Videon only less powerful. Kaylee turned and ran will she couldn't see the tips of Silendrile's wings over the trees.
Videon," Great we managed to scare away the only one who know this place."
Oh well. She'll come back. We can wait right?
Right dear friend. We can wait.
