Chapter 26
Eragon stood on the walls of the castle next to olisen. The soldiers all had there bows at the ready and barrels of arrows had been lined against the walls ready for a long siege.
Eragon stood there still ready to fight for his life.
"Say lets make this interesting Eragon" Olisen said from beside him
"How so" Eragon asked?
"Well see who kills the most" Olisen
"This isn't a game" Eragon said shocked
"It keeps your body ready plus makes the time of battle go much quicker" Olisen said with a smirk
"Ok Olisen you're on" Eragon smirked back
The soldier's advanced on the city.
…………………………………………………………………………………………..
Arya and Elisa stood on one of the wall towers and watch the scene as it unfolded. Men ran towards the walls setting up ladders trying to reach the first defence walls before they moved through the city.
"Please stay safe Eragon" Arya whispered to herself.
"He will be fine" Elisa said hoping Olisen would be to.
…………………………………………………………………………………………..
"VOLLEY" Nasuada shouted
The air was filled with a whistling sound as arrow cut though the air. The arrows sliced into the king's troops dropping them dead.
"Ladders" Nasuada shouted "Draw your swords"
Everyone drew there swords. The Soldiers crashed together some fell of the walls to there deaths.
Eragon ran the soldier he was fighting though and then swinging his sword into another soldier's waist cutting him in two.
Catapults fired there rocks at the walls one hit the gate at such force it ripped the gate apart. Soldiers behind the gate drew there weapons shocked people screamed and ran for there lives back towards the castle.
Olisen hacked any man that got in his way. He swung upwards severing a soldiers arm, the solider screamed though was cut strong when zar'roc point went though his neck and the cold hilt touched his voice box which was now a bloody mess.
The soldier fell and rolled a little way down the wall steps.
Olisen looked over to Eragon he was just finishing his enemy. Olisen felt a pain in his chest.
He looked out to eh battle field the silver light was flying straight at Eragon who as unaware.
Olisen vision went white for a second all time seem to freeze then another flash.
A child was running in a forest laughing. He looked little older than seven years old.
"Flevedir where are you" A voiced sounded
The little boy ran laughing.
When a man jumped out and grabbed him. They both laughed.
They walked though the forest until there could see houses in the trees.
People walked past and nodded to the man and child.
They reached a large tree where what looked like a party was going.
People where dancing and talking peacefully and laughing.
The child named Flevedir ran to a female with her black raven hair tied up in a bun she smiled and hugged the child.
The man walked close to the women and they embraced each other while the child ran off to the table filled with fruits.
The pair danced slowing whilst the woman rested her head on the mans chest.
Another flash.
He was back on the castle walls screams of pain and swords clashing meet his ears.
It clicked the man and women were Eragon and arya.
Olisen ran towards Eragon trying to push past the pain in his chest.
He pushed Eragon out of the silver lights way and replaced himself there.
He yelled in pain he looked down he saw a gleaming arrow not like he had seen before.
A flash of white light came to his eyes.
Olisen stood in a room there where three people in the room.
He looked at them a he knew them.
His mother, father and little brother stood there.
They said nothing they smiled at him. His mother and father holding each other whilst his little brother was jumped around with a wooden sword.
His little brother ran up to him.
"Are you coming to live with us now" He asked questionly
"Aye I think I am" Olisen replied
"We are so proud of you son" His father said
Olisen felt tears stinging his eyes.
"Aye you have done well you fought evil once you realised who it was" His mother spoke.
"Before you come with us go say good bye to your friends" His mother smiled.
Olisen looked up; he saw Eragon's face filled with sadness.
"Eragon how many did you kill" Olisen asked quietly
"So far forty seven "He chuckled
"Ah fifty here only just beat you" Olisen smiled
"Hang on we can help you" Eragon said
"No I must go, I have done my duty" Olisen said in pain
"You cant die" Eragon said his eyes stung with tears.
"I will, I have lived my life, I was meant to die here" Olisen said as his life began to slip away.
"No stay we need you" Eragon said quickly holding Olisen's head in his hands.
"Take this, it belongs to you" Olisen said passing zar'roc to Eragon
"Thank you my friend" Eragon said tears spilling slightly
"Goodbye Eragon stay safe" Olisen said before he went limp.
Eragon covered Olisen's eye lids over his eyes.
He may not have known him long and he took his brothers life but he was a true friend and a good person at heart.
Eragon looked around the battle had finished he saw the empire running over the hills.
He did not care.
He and other soldiers carried there dead to the castle to bury them.
He saw Thorn on the ground he looked peaceful Eragon had Olisen placed by Thorn.
He may not have been his true rider but treated him well none the less.
