U.U I haven't gotten a single review yet…oh well! Maybe it's because I've been updating during the middle of the night!

Disaster, death, destruction, Ruzac sighed as he saw the war scene, Burning, fighting, hurting, hating, killing…

We get it, Jade growled.

Yes, you don't need to point it out, Winix agreed.

Ruzac, Ane and Eragon had been assigned to go to Surda where a huge battle between the Varden and the Empire was taking place. They were currently flying over the spot they had previously fought at.

I hate it, Ruzac hissed, what good does it do? People should just get along.

DON'T throw a tantrum – now really isn't the time, Jade warned.

I will if you start going on about it, his rider shot back.

Riiight, because you have the same attitude as a 6 year old, Eragon's voice rang through his mind.

Oh? And who are you to talk? I heard it took you two weeks just to lift a pebble! Don't even get me started on your flaws, Ruzac snarled.

Guys, guys, we're just tired and worn out from fighting, Ane said, trying to calm them down, lets just land and rest.

Yeah, Eragon needs it, Ruzac said, leaving the said rider to seethe in his saddle.

The three landed behind the mass of the Varden's tents and lay down on the ground. There would have been grass but it had been either burnt or it shriveled away from being stamped over so many times. Either way, it didn't matter to the riders.

"That was such a long flight," Eragon sighed.

"Tell me about it," Ane agreed.

"I've flown longer," Ruzac said, earning glares from his two comrades.

Just then, a soldier walked up to them.

"You are requested to go to your tents and stay there until further notice," he said and walked off.

"Ummm…," Ane said, "Oook…?"

"Who's he to order us around?" a bristling Ruzac demanded.

"Y'know, that probably came from Nasuada," Eragon said.

"Then who's she to order us around??" Ruzac commanded, and the two others gave him a 'she's Ajihad's daughter, what do you think?' look.

"I don't even care," he said, noticing the looks the two riders gave him, "Unlike you two, I haven't promised my allegiance to her yet."

"WHAT?!" Ane and Eragon yelled.

"I can leave this place any time I want," Ruzac said simply, "She doesn't exactly trust me but hey, I don't exactly mind because she can't order me around."

"Isn't that kind of dangerous? Having a rider you can't control around your camp?" Eragon asked warily, eyeing Ruzac suspiciously.

"What's with that look? I'd fight for the Varden any day," Ruzac said, "Unless they turn on me."

"Yep, that's Ruzac for you," Ane sighed jokingly, winking at her friend, "He has to be able to do whatever he wants to."

"Right," the said rider replied, then caught on, "Hey."

"Haha, don't worry – we know you're still just a kid," Ane said, ruffling his hair.

"Pfft, just a kid she says," Ruzac said, getting up and wandering aimlessly in a random direction.
