Chapter 10: Who Is She Really?
Arya saw her sister disappear into the distance; she broke away from her mothers grip and took off running in the direction Tana had gone. "Arya come back!" yelled her mother, Queen Islanzadí, "Aryan, go after her!"
"Yes your Majesty!" said Aryan, took off after Arya who was only a few paces in front of him. "Arya wait up!"
"No!" yelled Arya as she looked back over her shoulder at Aryan. When her eyes met his it only made her run faster, as she stared into Aryan's eye all she saw was his love for his family back in Du Weldenvarden. Arya took her eyes off of Aryan just before she fell down a sand don. She caught her balance at the bottom of the sand don, looking up at Aryan who hesitated before running down. When he reached the bottom of the sand don, he looked up at Arya who was halfway up the next.
Arya look over to the right and saw Galbatorix's Army as she got to the top of the sand don. The Army was so close that she could see the detailed face of each muddy soldier. She was about to walk down the other side of the don but the ground started to shake. The grounded started to rise up around the soldiers; Arya fell down the sand don as the ground shook.
Aryan reached the top just as Arya fell down the sand don; he scrambled to his feet and tried to catch her. "Arya." he called as the sand don started to shift and collapse underneath him. He fell onto his butt and started to roll down the sand don. Aryan grabbed Arya's hand just as the sand don started to fall down upon them. The ground stopped shifting and moving, Aryan dug his way out of the sand. He pulled Arya out after him; they stood up and brushed themselves off. They looked over there shoulder and saw a giant sand wall.
Arya smiled, I guess my sisters stronger than I thought, thought Arya as she took Aryan's hand and she pulled him closer to her. She looked into his eyes and said "Thanks Aryan, you've always been like an older brother to me." She leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
He smiled back at her, "Now will you come back with me to the safety of Du Weldenvarden?"
"No, I have to help my sister!" said Arya, taking her hand out of his, but he grabbed her wrist. "Let go!"
"Sorry I can't do that Queen Islanzadí asked me to bring you back!" said Aryan
"And do you always listen to her…." said Arya. Aryan looked puzzled it seemed like a very stupid question to ask, "or ME!"
"Uh…umm….Both!" said Aryan, letting her wrist go and backing away.
"Thank you, now go!" said Arya as she started to run towards her sister, except Aryan grabbed her wrist again.
"I can't let you do that, I promised…"
"You promised who?" asked Arya turning towards him, there was along silence before Aryan spoke.
"…You're Father…" said Aryan taking a deep breath, Arya didn't say a word but Aryan let her go.
"—fine— Come on then!" Arya knew never to defy her father. They took off running in the direction of her sister. After a few minutes of running they climbed up a sand don and found a red dragon and a rider kneeling on the ground. They ducked quickly down behind the sand don, when Tana and Isidar landed.
"Come on, Murtagh! You're better than that!" said Tana walking over to the rider, Murtagh and holding out her hand for Murtagh to take it.
Murtagh thought Arya as she looked on. Is a rider what?
"It's been a long time, Tana! Maybe to long!" said Murtagh, taking Tana's hand and she pulled him up.
"It hasn't been that long! I only took off a month ago." said Tana, Murtagh walked over to the red dragon.
"Aye but since you've been gone, Galbatorix has been really pushing me, and I'm surprised that he didn't make me and Thorn swear additional oaths in the ancient language. It's been havoc trying to find you and now that I have I will take you back to Galbatorix and have him make you swear additional oaths." spat Murtagh with his back to Tana, now and he was at Thorn's side and was healing him.
She's on the other side, but how, why? thought Arya, who stood up but Aryan stopped her before she could be seen.
"You know I can't let you do that, I'm tired of serving him. In my eyes he's nnn…." Tana felt her lungs collapse and she was unable to breathe or speak.
"You can't keep running from the past! Face it Tana, Galbatorix has you now and forever!" said Murtagh, who stood up after he had finished healing all of Thorn's wounds.
"Well than you'll have to fight me for my freedom!" spat Tana, as she pulled her sword out.
How strong is Murtagh now? How strong is my…sister…Tana? thought Arya, almost gagging at when she said her sister's name.
"Don't make it any harder than it already is, Tana. You know I love you, but if that's the way you want it than that's fine with me." said Murtagh who spun around and flung sand at Tana to distract her as he bent down and picked up his sword were it had landed. Tana
whipped the sand out of her eyes and was facing Murtagh with both hands on her sword.
Why that dirty… thought Arya, but ending her trail of thought to watch them fight.
"Its only fare to tell you that I've gotten better than last time we fought, which was in the practice ring in Urû'baen."
"Aye but as I remember it I kicked your butt good!" said Murtagh with a grin, as he stood facing Tana as well with only one of his hand's on his sword, so he could use his magic with the other.
Tana laughed, "You know I'm more skilled at magic than you. I've been under Galbatorix's wing longer than you have, Murtagh."
"Aye!" said Murtagh, as he charged at Tana, who was charging at him.
What does she mean? How long has she been working with Galbatorix… thought Arya, with so many question running threw her head.
There sword blades clashed together, Tana was on the attack. Slashing at Murtagh's left side, but he blocked it with ease. Tana spun around and tried to slash his right side but blocked again. She brought her sword blade down upon his head but he blocked it again.
"Thrysta vindr," yelled Murtagh and Tana at the same time, a hard ball of air hit both of them and they flew back. Tana landed on top of the sand don Arya and Aryan were hiding behind. Murtagh landed a few feet behind Thorn.
They both stood up and were charging at each other. Tana didn't even see Arya, she ran down the sand and then they both dropped to the ground unable to move, for invisible bands restrained them.
Brisingr, fire, thought Tana, as a giant wave of fire erupted up from the ground and was closing around Murtagh and Thorn, who managed to yell, "Skölir nosu fra Brisingr!" Shield us from fire! Tana found her self free of the invisible bonds; she stood up and released Murtagh too.
She walked over to where Murtagh was enclosed by fire, he stood up and ran over to Thorn and got on him, they flew out of the fire circle. "Letta." muttered Tana and the fire vanished. Thorn landed and Murtagh jumped off and charged at Tana. Tana had one hand on her sword hilt; she held it by her side. Murtagh charged with two hands on his sword hilt, and his sword high over her head. "How tables turn!" muttered Tana, as she blocked his strike.
Arya looked on as she watched her sister and Murtagh fight. Murtagh started to strike faster but Tana blocked all his strikes. Arya saw Tana break Murtagh's sword at the hilt. The blade flew behind Tana and landed a few feet in front of Isidar. Tana knocked Murtagh to the ground, "You see I've…" Arya didn't hear the rest of what Tana had to say because of Aryan.
"Arya…" whispered Aryan, as he nudged her with his hand.
"Not now." replied Arya in a whisper as he batted Aryan's hand away.
"No Arya now…" whispered Aryan but Arya ignored him, "Arya….Arya…A-R-Y-A!"
"What…." spat Arya looking at Aryan who was looking in the direction of the giant sand don. Arya noticed that the sand don was getting smaller and smaller as Tana fought…
