Due to the fact that I seem to have lost my ability to write well, I've decided to work slower on my chapters and constantly reread them. Also if I don't like something I won't put it up. How this will help, I'm not exactly sure but I do hope to bring my 3 or 4 readers back. As usual comment if you like, love, hate it or some part of it. Also I am working on the battle scene extra hard with Eragon, Galby(that's what I call him out of the story. Deal with it) Murtagh, and all the other little peoples. I try hard to please you people but obviously I've been failing so try to enjoy. Barf bags come with this chapter sorry for them not being there for the others.

Eragon, Arya, and Saphira flew quickly from the woods and plains where the Erklings lived. Eragon had no idea why but as soon as they came near a city arrows were shot at them. Obviously they were already on bad terms and attacking back would only prove whatever it was he was acused of. Arya and Eragon used magic to block the arrows easily, but the longer they blocked them the stronger the metal used for the arrowhead got.
Careful. These arrows seem particurly well made.
Do not worry Saphira. They don't pierce magic.
Or so we hope. They seem to have rangers following us. How else could they continue reaching us by now? Of course they didn't know the true distance the Erklings could shoot while still hitting their mark. However true to Saphira's word there were some following them, even with the large mass of archers already shooting at them.
A yell came from the rangers in some mixture of languages.
" What?" Eragon asked.
Eragon I can't block all the arrows. They are coming from to many directions. It seems somehow they have gotten ahead of Saphira. To this Eragon quickly started using more energy to stop arrows before Saphira suddenly halted. Eragon and Arya were thrown slightly off balence by this but quickly were back in focus. It seemed that in front of them were large, not as big as Saphira, serpents with wings. To the sides were slightly large wolves. Each beast had a rider. Some had more then one.
They seem strong. Both wolves and the flying snakes. The serpents seem stronger. Still They don't rival our strength. It, however, would still be better if we managed to wave a white flag, Saphira thought to Eragon.
Aye. Eragon knew waving a white flag would be best, but a white flag they had not.
An amphitere rider approached Saphira. That amphitere moved cautiously and slowly. The rider said in some odd mixture of human, dwaven, and the ancient language something incomprehensible to both Eragon and Arya. The rider seemed to realize from their silence that they had not understood. Pulling apart his words he managed to say," Yo cume dastron tons agane? O yo cume ki us agane?" Obviously the rest of the Erklings didn't have the training in languages as the scouts.
Eragon attempted to respond," I do not understand you."
Waving his hand the rider called for a wolf rider who said slightly clearer," You come destone town agane? Or you come keel us agane?"
Eragon struggled but tried to repeat saying," You come destroy town again? Or you come kill us again?"
" E none kil o destrone yo yeet. Yo doe toe us!"
Switching to the ancient language Arya tried to converse. After trying to say they were merely repeating. The Erklings attempted to repond even worse then that with the human/dwarf language. Switching back to human Arya said," We only repeating."
" O. Asene us eni wey!"
" Us never been here before. Our race hasn't seem your kind before."
" Yous no her befov? Bu mn om blek fling lazerb atake us. Anoother mn om reed fling lazerb aso atake us."
Turning to consult with Arya and Saphira, Eragon said," What was that second sentence?"
" I think something about a man on a blek flying hazard."
Saphira?
I think ' But man on blek flying lazerd attack us.'
What's blek and Lazerd mean?
No clue. Arya?
Search me. I'm not sure.
Eragon tried to respond and said," What is a Lazerb?" Seeing no point in talking the rider pointed at Saphira enthusiastically.
Eragon quickly put the puzzle pieces in place and said to Arya and Saphira," Galbatorix and Murtagh attacked them so they think dragons are enemies!"
" How can we convince them otherwise?"
" Maybe if we try to explain a hundred years of history before they try to kill us."
That may be our only option, but we'll need a good translator. I can't go on speaking like this.
Eragon turned and said to the man," Can we have translator?"
The man had a questioning look and said," You wane perser toe take foe you ho cane spake me aned you langaj?" Once again Eragon was faced with the langauage barrier.
" Well?"
" I'm thinking ' You want person to talk for you who can speak me and you language.' "
Good a guess as there'll ever be.
" Yes!" Eragon yelled to the rider.
The ride looked trouble and said," Muse gone toe catle wif you teed aned garsed."
Eragon figured this one himself," Must go to castle with us tied and gaurded."
" Yees," replied the rider.
Eragon," Well we must swallow our pride and go to their king bound and guarded."
" Very well. If that is what we must."
Obviously Saphira was struggling with the swallow your pride part until she responded We must.This wasn't like letting the Urgals join the battle. This was letting herself be tied and handed to a king who would decide if she lived or not. It was likely she could escape but even if she did she would be wounded or worse.
Eragon turned back to the Erkling and said," We agree."
" Vally wheel." Then reverting back to his own language in a relieved voice he told some riders to bring rope and chain. Apparently from hsi motions Saphira was to big and was to be guarded at all times by Amphiteres. Soon the bunch were back at the Castle of Blades. Saphira refered it as so because of the swords everywhere. She had to hunch down as the doors and halls were not made for something much taller then the beasts guarding her.
Eragon walked wherever he was led hand ready to call magic at all times. His new steel blade was taken as well as the other weapons. Carefully watching where he was being led Eragon found himself being escorted to a largeroom that had more weapons then the Varden's army combined (Obviously an exageration). There were the banners of this country. It was a triangular flag hanging down. A yellow snake went across the middle. The tail started at the longer point of the flag and the head ended at the shortest flat line of the flag. The bottom have of the flag was black while the top was blue. It was a striking yet simple flag. The armor worn by this country was displayed everywhere. It was similer to his own only the armor was spiked. The helmets were rectangular. The shield were spiked along the edges as well. The center of every shield bore a rune from their language. The room was large in all. Swords and coat of arms were everywhere. One sword stood out. It hung above the, not nearly as magnificant, throne. It was toned yellow. the end of the sword bore the same rune as the shields. The sword's guard was golden colored. The hilt of the blade was covered in a black leather and had silver wire wrapped around but only enough to keep the leather on. The pommel bore a beatiful gem. The gem was some yellow stone Eragon hadn't heard of. Surrounding the stone was gold. This sword had no marks that it had been used in battle but was mere decoration.
On the blood red throne it hung above was a young man. He had short brown hair. Upon his head was no crown or any sign that he was king. He wasn't clothed royally. In fact he wore armor. The armor wasn't spiked as the normal armor but still was mail for his chest and plate for his legs. That armor had been toned a nice blue color. The armor would actually go well with Spahira's scales. On his chest he bore the same rune that was on every piece of weaponry apparently. The man wore a cloak that was a lighter blue but still bore the rune. Eragon looked at the man in disbelief. No king had he seen so dressed common and battle ready. Everywhere he went the one of highest status had had something to pronounce themselves from their guards and people. The king looked no different from the guards that were pulling Eragon along besides being slightly less armored.
A guard approached the King and explained the situation about Eragon, Saphira, and Arya. The king motioned a guard who had already been in the room to come. Saying something to the man the guard said," Lord Vodg'rthwill try and reason with you and figure out what you're doing here. As well as why you're flying lizard's kin attacked us." This was the clearest and possibly the scariest thing Eragon had heard all day.

Since you guys hate my oc's I went back to Eragon. I'm not sure but I believe this is slightly ooc. My bad. Anyway if you are still reading just comment saying you're reading. If I don't get any I'm ending this story. The battle scene will go to waste and you'll have wasted my time. Anyway hope you enjoyed my longest chapter yet. And yes even if you don't have an account I DO want a review.
