Recap
Murtagh smiled at her laugh, he loved that laugh. He leaned in closer. "I guess then I won't regret doing this." He said then he kissed her.
Danielle's eyes widened in surprise when she felt his lips land onto hers, she then closed her eyes, allowing herself to fall into the kiss. Both of them holding no regrets, and no lies, only thinking about each other, momentarily forgetting about the dragons, the upcoming war, and death.
End Recap
XxXxXxXxXxXxXx XxXxXxXxXxXxXx XxXxXxXxXxXxXx
"It has begun," Arya said with a sorrowful expression. The troops in the encampment stood alertly with their weapons drawn. Danielle nodded at her. She fiddled with her armor. She had her hair tied up in a ponytail.
"A scout ran out of a tunnel a few minutes ago." Murtagh said, walking over to them, followed by Eragon. "The Urgals are coming."
Danielle looked up at him, meeting his eye. Both of them flushed and turned away, Murtagh cleared his throat. Eragon and Arya watched with interest at their exchange, although one more pleasant than the other.
Together they watched the dark mouth of the tunnel through the ranks of men and sharpened stakes. A minute dragged by, then another and another… Without taking his eyes off the tunnel, Eragon hoisted himself onto Saphira. Zar'roc in his hands.
"I hear them!" Murtagh cried out. Danielle nodded at him and turned to get on Kahiro. "Danielle…" she turned her head to look at him, they stared at each other. "Be careful…" he said.
Danielle just grinned and nodded, hoisting herself up to Kahiro. "I will… Wiol ono." She said, then she unsheathed her sword.
Harsh Urgal shouts shattered the air as dark shapes boiled upward in the tunnels opening. At a command, the cauldrons of pitch were tilted on their sides, pouring the scalding liquid onto the tunnel's hungry throat. The monsters howled in pain.
Danielle watched as her stomach turned. She took a deep breathe to calm herself. Then she forced herself to look again. More Urgals soon tamped the pitch down and clambered out of the tunnels. The first row of archers pulled their bows and fired. Eragon and Arya adding their arrows to the deadly swarm. Danielle shuddered as she watched the Urgals fall, line by line. But not very soon after one fell, another took his place. She watched in dismay at their numbers, how were they suppose to defeat every single one? It seemed to be an impossible task.
The first line of defense breached, the main bodies of the two forces collide for the first time. A deafening roar burst from the men and dwarves as they rushed into the conflict. Saphira bellowed and leapt towards the fight, diving into a whirlwind of noise and blurred actions. Danielle took a deep breathe.
You ready, Kahiro? She asked, gripping her sword tightly in her hands, making sure she was properly sat on the saddle.
I could never be more ready… she replied.
"Then we fight, and we fight as one!" Danielle cried out. With a blast of her wings, Kahiro lifted them off the ground and towards the fight. With her strong jaws and talons, Kahiro ripped through the Urgals, one after another. She used her body strength, weight and size to her advantage. Danielle parried every blow aimed for Kahiro or herself, very soon, her armor and sword seemed to be drenched with blood, almost as if it was red from the beginning.
Danielle fought and fought with all her might, yet still… the battle didn't seem to be ending anytime soon. From the corner of her eye, she watched Orik, Arya and Eragon fight. Something struck her like lightning. Where was Murtagh? She whirled around, taking two Urgals head with her.
"Jierda!" she shouted out aiming at the Urgals. Five Urgals slumped onto the ground. Danielle grinned as she saw the man behind them. "You need any help?" she asked.
Murtagh grinned at her. "Thanks." He said. Danielle winked at him.
"Just returning the favor." She said.
Danielle! Kahiro cried out. Danielle whirled around. When you're done flirting with your boyfriend, the city is at stake here.
Danielle mumbled something about dragons stealing the moment. "I'll see ya later." She said to Murtagh, before hurrying over to Kahiro. Soon, she forgot about Murtagh and paid attention to the battle ahead
The fighting continued for hours and hours. The Varden and dwarves were exhausted, but the Urgals remained fresh with reinforcements. It was a nightmare for both Eragon and Danielle. Though they fought their hardest, there was always another Urgal to take the place of the one just killed. Their bodies hurt, they were tired. The dragons were in better condition, while Kahiro, bearing barely any wounds, Saphira's wings were punctured with small ones.
Out of the corner of her eyes, she watched Arya and Eragon leave the battle field together. She watched them suspiciously.
Argetlam! There are loud noises under Tronjhem. It sounds like the Urgals are trying to dig into the city! The twins tried to contact her. She quickly jumped onto Kahiro. Kahiro heaved both of them out and flew towards the gates.
An explosion split the air. A long slab of the chamber floor buckled and blew thirty feet up.
Danielle! Saphira just contacted me, she is injured. Kahiro told her. Danielle nodded.
Kahiro, I know Eragon is down there, it seems like he may need some help, drop me off here, it is too small for you. I suggest you try a different way in… she said to her. Kahiro looked at her. After a while nodded.
Just be careful… she said to her softly.
Danielle nodded. I will… Then she jumped off, she landed cleanly onto her feet, standing up she ran into the tunnel.
She saw Eragon standing there staring at something. "Eragon!" she cried out, then she looked up at what he was look at…
It was Durza.
Danielle felt herself fill with rage. Though she was angry, anger didn't blind her thoughts. She quickly contacted Kahiro. Although she knew it was a while before she would be able to reach her. Danielle and Eragon unsheathe their swords.
Durza gazed at them disdainfully and said something in Urgal language. The rest of the Urgals formed a circle around the perimeter of the room. "So my young riders, we meet again."
"Durza…" Danielle spat out as if saying his name was poison. Durza shift his gaze to her.
"Ah my sweet Danielle, still as feisty as ever…" he said to her.
Danielle growled at him. "You'll never capture us alive."
"Is that so?" asked the Shade, raising an eyebrow. "I don't see you dragons around to help you. You can't stop me now. No one can!"
Danielle rolled her eyes. "Oh please. What do you think we're going to do?" The Shade's countenance darkened, with a snarl he launched at Danielle. "Jierda!" she cried out, the Shade banished the spell with a flick of his wrist. The point of the sword was caught between her ribs, piercing her mail and driving her out of breathe. Durza quickly tried to probe into her mind.
"No!" Eragon cried out, running towards him. He engaged him into a battle. Danielle quickly joined in. They parried his blows, but still they were being pushed back. Danielle took a hit on the shoulders, and suddenly, Eragon fell onto the ground. Durza stared at him with hatred flowing form his maroon eyes. He charged at him. Danielle gasp, barely recovering from her previous injury. She tried to stand up, but there was not enough time, just not enough time.
The sword smote heavily across Eragon's back, cutting through both mail and skin. He screamed as pain blasted through him, forcing him to his knees. He swayed, barely conscious.
"NO!" Danielle screamed out at the same time. She watched in horror as hot blood ran down his back. "Brisingr!" she screamed out. At first it was as if her spell didn't work, but soon Durza started to scream in pain. His insides were like they were on fire. Danielle quickly crawled over to Eragon. Just then, the chamber rang with deafening report. She gasped with disbelief.
The star sapphire shattered. Huge glass dagger-like pieces pummeled towards them. "Huildr!" she cried out, stopping the glass from hitting them. She looked up.
Saphira and Kahiro were in the centre of the chamber. On Saphira was Arya. Opening their jaws, great flames erupted from them.
Time seemed to go slow for Eragon, he saw Durza kneeling on the floor, first shock, then anger filled his features. He raised his hand at the dragons and words formed on his lips.
As if discovering a hidden strength, Eragon raised up his sword, and plunged it into Durza's heart. Durza stared in horror at his chest, seeing the blade probing out of his body. Then, his skin turned transparent. With one last cry, the Shade was gone.
Eragon fell onto the ground, his vision blurring, then he fell unconscious. Danielle, still shock at the turn of events, smiled. She quickly turned Eragon over and put her hand onto his injured back. "Waise Heill!" she said, slowly, she felt herself being drained of energy. She closed her eyes, knowing that she and Eragon was safe. Fell into a blissful land of dreams. Last thing she saw was Arya smiling at her, and Kahiro telling her she was proud.
