Dyasari: Chapter 4
Dyasari: Chapter 4
A good day all in all
Eragon felt invincible in Saphira's back, diving towards thousands soldiers with fearful expressions. Just before she crashed into the army, she lifted up her head, gliding over the army and unleashed a jet of blue fire that consumed hundreds of soldiers in one pass.
A few arrows bounced of Eragon's wards but most of the archers were token by surprise or to scared to react to the giant dragon. They continued their pass until they reached the elves army, which was all smiles and cheers as they flew over them.
They landed by Queen Islandzadi's tent, where she was waiting in full elven armor. Eragon and Arya exchanged their formal greeting with Islanzadi in the ancient language. "There is no time for anymore formalities, Arya I need you with Ezmertal and his elves that are flanking the empire as we speak, Eragon I need you there as well, and Saphira continue to make passes over their army."
They nodded at the queen and took off on Saphira, as they descended Eragon turned in his saddle and looked Arya in the eyes, and crushed his lips against hers.
Before she could say anything he jumped off Saphira. As Arya slew an enemy trying to flank Eragon she said "Do not think you're going to get away with that". Eragon slew two more enemies and chuckled "Hey, I didn't want to have any regrets if I were to die here".

The ferocity of the elves made Eragon admire them even more, their grace in battle made them look like they were dancing. Eragon found himself attacking at the same silent rhythm as they did.
3 hours into the battle half the empire's army still remained. So far Eragon had concentrated of killing all the spell casters within his vicinity. After killing hundreds of soldiers , fatigue began to creep on Eragon, he had to use his gems from his belt to sustain himself.
Therefore, he didn't notice when a warlord came charging in on his horse and swung his hammer and hit Arya's shoulder. Eragon looked up at the sound and saw the man she had been fighting stood over and arched his sword toward her body and without talking cast one of the twelve death words on him, but the momentum brought the sword down on her helmet, knocking her out.
Eragon cried out in rage and slew the 13 soldiers in his path and put Arya over his shoulder. Saphira hearing his yell lit the soldiers surrounding him aflame and landed. He put Arya on her back and secured her. With newfound strength he crushed the Empire's soldiers, tearing a path toward their leader.
As he came to the Empire's command tent, he drew energy from Aren and froze the soldiers around him. He marched to the leader in gold armor and stared him in the eye as he thrust Brisingr through his stomach.
"You will never defeat the empire!" The man said as blood trickled out of his mouth. "Galbatorix will crush you, his power is beyond anything in this world!". To this Saphira unleashed a fearsome roar that made some soldiers cover their ears.
"The empire will fall, and all those that follow Galbatorix will die." Eragon could tell when the man died, he believed Eragon.
After the warlord died the elves easily overcame the empire's men. Saphira sent the tent alight and Eragon jumped and landed on her back. Do you know if Arya is ok? Eragon had not been able to stop thinking about her since she was knocked out. She is alive but unconscious, she will be fine Eragon.
Eragon sighed with relief. I am beginning to understand why Arya does not want you to be with her, Eragon. Just to save her you showed absolute disregard for your own life to get to her.
What did you want me to do Saphira? Watch her die? I could not do that. Eragon was quickly becoming angry. Saphira retorted with,You know I do not want Arya to die! But do not pretend you could not have chosen alternative actions to save her life, you could of acted from a distance rather than march up to her in the middle of a battle.Eragon shook his head, I did it on instinct, I couldn't think straight. Precisely, love influences all of your decisions. Eragon sighed, he would never best Saphira in an argument would he?

Eragon was standing by Arya's bead when she woke. Her first words were, "I hope Saphira has told you what a fool you are." She said shaking her head. He nodded, "that she has" he said with a smile.
Arya looked him in the eye and said "This is why we can never be Eragon, so long as Galbatorix lives.Your emotions rule over you. Your life is more precious than mine, all of Alagaesia's hope rest's on your sholders. If he were to use me against you..."
She attempted to get up and leave but Eragon said "No you stay, I'll leave, you shouldn't be walking yet." Arya looked him the eye waiting for him to leave. "I'm sorry, I cannot deny what Saphira or you have said" He said with shame.
"Leave Eragon" was all that she would say. An elf showed Eragon to his tent and he lay down on his bed face down. Eragon nearly fell off his bed when Queen Islandzadi came into his tent with her guards.
She laughed at his reaction and said "Thank you for saving my daughter, Eragon. The elves are in your debt." Eragon shook his head "Nonsense, Queen Islandzadi, Arya is my friend" I hope she still is anyways "but thank you for your courtesy."
Islandzadi smiled at his words, "Sleep well and eat hardy, for tomorrow may be a bigger day for you that this one was, Atra du evarinya ono varda, Eragon-vodhr."
