Shadows of Vessha

Glabatorix stood before two mighty stone doors, it was scripted with runes of an old forgotten language his withdrew his sword from its scabbard, the amethyst hue gleamed dull in the midnight sky. He stepped towards the giant doors and placed the tip of the sword between the small lines which spilt the doors in two, there was a crack of energy.

All of the runes began to give of a mist, a tint of purple coloured the misty substances, it poured down the front of the doors onto the floor swirling around his feet. The doors cracked open with a loud groan it was clear to see these gates had not been opened for centuries if not more. The darkness was far from inviting a light wind blew from within; the king entered his boots echoing in the dark tunnel.

He walked for a short distance noticing runes and pictures carved into the stone around the tunnel the runes spoke of an unknown horror that caused terror among the land of men and dwarfs. He stepped out into what looked like a huge opening; it was a long platform reach out into the open below was a drop with no end in sight. He walked to the end of the platform and looked around the great hall. A huge howl of wind followed by a earth shaking roar, one that would make even the mightiest of dragons shudder in terror.

The legacy spoke true.

Eragon sat one his bed Nasuada had given him quarters in Feinster until they moved to Dras-Leona to lessen the empires ground, he was polishing Brisingr he needed something to keep his mind of the death of his teachers Oromis and Glaedr. Though Glaedr was only dead physically he lived on though his heart of hearts. He still had not made contact with him or Saphira; there was a knock at his chamber doors. He opened the door one of Nasuada's maids stood and jumped has he opened the doors quickly.

"Sorry Shadeslayer I didn't mean to disturb you but Nasuada requests your presence in the meetings room, I was told to accompany you there also requested by lady Nasuada" the maid said quietly showing she was nervous, Eragon lips twitched upwards to form a small smile.

"What is your name, I can't be walking around the castle with someone whose name is unknown to me" Eragon asked politely as he stepped out and close his door behind him and began to walk the route towards the meetings room which was where he and Arya had defeated the shade.

"My name is Idrial I have been serving Nasuada since after the battle at the burning plains" Idrial said hurry to catch Eragon up. Eragon took time to take in her appearance, she was petite he form was very eye catching no doubt her hair was a soft brown and her eyes reminded him of Saphira's scales she was about a head smaller than himself. The double oak doors to the meetings room the nighthawks stood guard still and quiet, he showed his palm and the dwarf captain commanded his men to move aside allowing him and Idrial to enter.

Nasuada was speaking with the commanders of the Varden and dwarfen armies; she stopped speaking as she saw Eragon enter along with her maid Idrial.

"Ha Eragon welcome please take a seat and thank you Idrial for bringing him along you may go for the day" Nasuada said softly to them both, Eragon smiled at Idrial and took the only seat next to Arya he offered her a quick smile and then turned to Nasuada.

At the gates of Feinster it was silent the guards where standing upon the walls alert for any danger, a horn in the night spilt the silence the men jumped staring out onto the landscape there saw a line of about two hundred men covered in blue cloaks with their hoods up covering their faces they all carried bows of beauty that looked like they were crafted by the gods themselves, they saw the banner they carried where Elvin.

"Open the gates the elves have come" Came a shout from the walls, the gates were opened and elves began to walk towards the keep there movements graceful as they neared the keep they were greeted by Nasuada. She stood shocked the elf at the lead stepped forward and placed his hand upon his chest and gave small bow.

"I bring word from my queen, long ago we elves fought on the plains of Illera as a last stand to the black king's rule, we come to aid you in this war wile our main forces attack in the north we will help you fight in the south" The elf said in his graceful voice.

"I thank you and your most graceful queen I send my relief and thanks that we are not alone in this war, may I ask your name elf" Nasuada asked?

"My name is Flevedir my lady.
