Arya and firnen had been waiting with lord daethdir and too of the other high ranking lords for the past hour but there was still no sign of help. Her companions were growing restless and daethdir growled "Arya we have been here since sunrise and there is still no sign, are you sure that help is really coming." Arya knew she should bite back a reply but couldn't help say "of course lord daethdir if you want to lead the charge against four riders and their dragons with not a dragon on your side then be my guest" one of the other lords, an old friend: lord wraithran, gave a slight chuckle which she was grateful for and daethdir turned his head muttering under his breath but Arya let it pass. Another 20 minutes passed until there was a small hurricane and everything lose started to be sucked in to some sort of a hole in the air which started to grow and grow until it was large enough for firnen to fit through and no sooner had they thought entered her head than out came saphira gliding through the swirling mist with two figures perched on her back. Following eragons dragon came his entaurage lead by a boy with a golden halo of hair on his head, a girl with a mass of firery red hair tumbling down her shoulders, a boy with a mop of black hair from under which shone two twinkling blue eyes then came a female copy but with brown eyes. They were followed by two people who were obviously a couple and walked with a prowl, the boy strong and muscular, the girl looked slight and agile aswell as ebony skin the kind arya had seen only among the people of Nasuadas old tribes. Behind these two walked a guy with tousled curly black hair and a wary pace who was then followed by a spiky haired young man of an appearance arya had never seen before but he seemed to be holding some sort of overweight cat. All in all arya thought this to be an odd assortment of people to bring to a battle field. Arya walked over to welcome Eragon and the newcomers followed by some rather hesitant lords. She introduced herself to the the newcomers and the first to introduce them self was the golden halo as he strolled over to Arya with a wary grin plastered across his face. "So are you the revolutionary leader" the boy enquired. "Aye I was the one who called upon your help" replied with a much firmer tone that didn't match her nervousness. "We have called upon your help so that you can assist us we will reward you for your services, these horse will take us there they are our friends we expect you to treat them with as much respect as you would me, now two people to one horse." As if on command Horses came galloping from the surrounding forest. Jace helped clary onto a baige stallion then climbed on himself then they started trotting after the other lords while Jace noted how the one who called herself Arya climbed onto a green dragon, silently he wondered to himself whether everyone in this world had a dragon and if so how soon would he get one. Jordan then pulled Maia up onto a hazel mate beside him and Isabelle and Simon both scrambled onto a chestnut smaller horse which left Magnus and Alec next to a dark black stallion. As if sensing the awkwardness in the air Eragon stepped forward and asked if one of them would like to ride on Saphira with him. Magnus shot Alec a questioning look but Alec simply said "no no ill be fine" and Magnus nodded in agreement without needing to be told twice eragon scrambled onto Saphira and they both flew away.
"so...?" magnus said once they had both climbed onto the stallion. "so what?! i thought that we had nothing more to discuss!" Alec yells halfheartly as he half notices magnus's arms wrapped around his waist. "well i suppose i thought that we could... i dunno move on?" suggested magnus. Alec noticed the pained exspression on his face as he said it but shurgged it off as his imagination playing tricks on him. unbeknown to Alec, magnus was finding it just as hard if not more to be around him than alex was. they rode on in silence for ten minutes. Then magnus interrupted the silence by saying "well alec what do you make of this place then?" Alec turned round to look magnus in the eye with some degree of bafflement but decided to humour his ex by saying "well the the people here are kind of strange, apparently they can do magic they all look different also they are all mythical which is just unbelieveable" he says rolling his eyes at magnus. magnus chuckles slightly but tries to cover it up with a cough. he looks mounrfully into the back of alec's head as he starts to realise what he has lost. alec can feel magnus's eyes on the back of his head so decides to just stare forward so as to keep a lookout for movement upahead.
i wasnt sure what to do with magnus and alex so plz comment if you would like them either to get back together, move on and become friends or stay the way they are much appreciatedddddd thxxxxx
