I'm going to start this chapter off by thanking people for that grammatical correction. I honestly had no idea of the answer. To Hollow Mashiro 3 things: why 2 reviews? That's just mean, you got my hopes up. I thought that I had another reviewer, BUT NO. Secondly, I am having Obi-wan go through the same type of thing as Anakin did with Count Dooku. Third, I didn't know that was his name but even so, Galbatorix is on the same level as Hitler, maybe even one up because he actually succeeded in killing all of the dragons. Would you negotiate with someone who was working for Hitler and was trying to kill a Jew? But on with the story.
Obi-wan drove forward and swung at Murtaugh. This seemed to pull Murtaugh out of the state of shock he was in from seeing his seemingly "indestructible" sword be cut nearly in two. He dodged to the left of the blow and leapt over to Thorn. Murtaugh sheathed Za'roc and said to Thorn "burn him," with a sense of urgency in his voice. Thorn complied with ease. The blue flames that spewed out engulfed the jedi in an inferno so hot that not even micro-organisms could survive in. When the flames disappeared there was just ash and glass on the floor. There was also a jedi rising up into the air. Murtaugh and Thorn missed the last part. Who or what was that? Thorn asked Murtaugh.
"I don't know but he had the powers of a god. He cast magic successfully without speaking and had a blade of pure fire. And more importantly he ruined my sword which is supposed to be ..." Murtaugh carried on with his rant but by this time Thorn had stopped caring about what he was saying. He was thinking about what had just happened. Murtaugh was interrupted by Thorn asking where are Eragon and Saphira? They should have attacked us by now. Unless...
Murtaugh spun to where Obi-wan had been before the fire and finished Thorn's sentence for him. "They thought he would finish us by himself and so he probably would not be able to be effect by fire and so is probably somewhere around us hiding." Great right back where we started he thought to himself as the pair started to look around at the trees and rocks that surrounded them.
Eragon looked up at the dragon he was sitting against. She was still watching the glass/plastic lump and would not stop wiggling while watching it, ready to pounce in case it sprouted legs and escaped. Slowly he raised his hand and poked her side. She didn't notice. Eragon sighed, slapped the ground and got up, looking at where Thorn had taken the detour to land around 75 meters away.
"Come on Saphira, we need to go see how Obi-wan is doing. He's been gone for 5 minutes and we should check on him." Eragon turned back to Saphira. She took one last longing look back at the sparkling lump, before walking over and asking in the voice of a child who doesn't want to do something. Whyyyyyy? It's not like anything can hurt him. Eragon looked at her with confusion clear on his face. What do you means nothing can hurt him. What about magic or more importantly a sword through him. That would hurt. Saphira snorted and replied, yes Eragon, while a sword through your head would hurt, first magic would not work as he could just stop it and return the favour by throwing Thorn at Murtaugh. Eragon laughed under his breath at the image. Saphira gasped in exasperation at his immaturity. Child. Then Eragon sent her the image that he was laughing at and Saphira joined in. Touché. Secondly I think that he is a competent enough swordsman to realise not to get close enough to Murtaugh. He saw how good a swordsman Murtaugh is.
"All right, all right." Eragon admitted defeat. "Then we should at least make sure that he doesn't kill Murtaugh or Thorn." Eragon seemed happy that he had found a good enough reason to make Saphira leave the lump. "now, where is he..." a dark shape darted across the moon. "ohh wait, there he is." Said Eragon, pointing up at him. "ahh well, lets go." Eragon and Saphira started to walk towards where Murtaugh and Thorn were.
Obi-wan shot up past the fire that had rushed out to meet him. This boy and his "dragon" (as they called them on this primitive planet, through they were nothing like the monsters that grew on tatooine) had managed to get passed the emotional defences and reach him with his story. How else would they have convinced him to join them so easily. Maybe it was the fact that the two of them had gone through the same. Admittedly Eragon didn't and never would know what it would be like like to be a true dragon rider as there was no-one to teach him it. He also didn't have to go through the loss of who he was like Obi-wan had.
After he had killed the red rider, as people called him he would go and WAIT... why did that come into his head? Why would he kill this person who was being forced to follow the orders of a mad man. As Obi-wan started to fall he began to think about what he had thought. He had never thought that before so... so... evilly. No. Clearly. Yes. Was he being controlled like the Urgals had been. No, he was a jedi he couldn't be contr there it was again. Making him feel safe. He had to fight it.
Obi-wan hit the floor and rolled. The force could only take so much (for lack of a better word) force out of a blow. The roll took him much further then he wanted to go and he ended up in front of Thorn. Thorn roared in surprise at the man who fell from the sky and reared up. This made it easier for Obi-wan to make his next move. He threw out a hand and force pushed the Dragon onto its rider, behind it. Then he jumped up onto the dragon and held his now lit lightsaber to its throat. Both Murtaugh and Thorn froze when he did this and so didn't move as Obi-wan lifted Za'roc towards him. He knew that the sword was suppose to be unbreakable and so to scare the two of them he lifted his old master's lightsaber out from his belt, ignited it and then used it to cut Za'roc into small shavings. He did all of this without moving his hands.
Still fighting the voice in his head, which he had decided was the temptation of the dark side; Obi-wan deactivate both lightsabers. He then bent down and said softly into Thorn's ear, "go, and tell your master that the fallen star is coming for him." He then jumped off and watched them scrabble away with a look a confusion on there faces. Somehow Thorn did confusion. As they were flying away, Eragon and Saphira walked through the tree-line.
"There you are we've been looking everywhere for you. What happened? Eragon asked. Obi-wan stifled a yawn, lay down and said "In the morning."
This is the longest chapter I have written. Wow, I suck at writing. I tried to show the dark side fighting its way through but I don't know how I did at it. Please tell me how I did. Also I think that I am going to start a new story before finishing this one because at this rate the story is going to be around 200 chapters long. Cringe. arhh well I don't care how long it is because I am not just going to leave the beginning of a story for people read and then find out it just stops. I have to go now so goodbye and remember to review and point all the little mistake I make.
