Chapter 8

Draco gets in trouble again

The next day

Draco where did you go? Saphira asked when she saw that Draco had left.

I went hunting and to get some fresh air. Draco said as he landed with 3 dears in his claws and mouth.

"You do realize that I don't eat meat do you Draco?" Eragon asked the big black dragon.

And why don't you eat meat? You can't live without meat; it is what gives you strength. Draco said as he and Saphira started to eat their meal.

That is what I have been telling him for the past three months. Saphira said eating the meal Draco brought her. Saphira was eating two of the three dears, since they had a plan to get a Eragon to eat meat again

Oh really, Eragon don't become as boring as an elf. Draco said finishing eating faster than Saphira.

"I am not getting boring am I Saphira?" Eragon asked his dragon.

Well ya, you are, I have to go and get you fruit and anything that isn't meat. What annoys me is that we have all this meat around us, and yet you still won't eat it. Saphira said finishing her meal to look up at her rider.

"But, I just don't want to eat meat anymore now that I am an elf. You can't make me eat meat again unless I want to." Eragon said then regretting it as he saw Saphira fly off somewhere. Where are you going? Eragon asked her through her mind.

Not far, you will find out soon enough. Saphira answer in a tone that caused Eragon to worried what she was going to do.

"Do you know where she is going?" Eragon asked Draco confused and worried.

Well you did say that she "can't force you to eat meat again" so you tell me. Draco said laughing deep in his throat.

"Do you mean she is going to try and force me to eat meat again?" Eragon asked now getting scared again, she tried this before, but she didn't have another dragon to help her. Now she does.

BOO! Saphira said from behind Eragon which made him jump into the nearest tree because he wasn't focused on finding her. Draco and Saphira fell over from laughing as Eragon got back onto the ground looking at the two laughing dragons.

"Oh, will you two stop laughing it wasn't that funny." Eragon said to the two dragons.

Oh yes it was, did you get a deer Saphira? Draco asked her laughing.

Yes, just give me a minute to stop laughing, thanks for distracting him so I can sneak up on him. Saphira said as she got up and picked up the deer she caught.

"You were in on it too Draco, how could you?" Eragon asked mad that both dragons had made a plan to scare the crap out of him.

Yes I was, I thought it was funny, but be thankful it wasn't Grace who scared you, you would be on top of one the Beor Mountains. She loves to scare the crap out of people, but when you elves get scared you can fly up so high we will have to catch you before you hit the ground. Draco said still laughing. He had not laughed this hard since the last time Grace scared someone.

"Ok, I will be prepared for the next time this happens." Eragon said as Saphira dropped the deer in front of him.

Are you sure you will be ready, us dragons can be very craftily when we want to. Saphira said as she and Draco moved, not noticed by Eragon, to surround him so he couldn't escape.

"Hey this isn't fair." He yelled at the dragons.

Well we are not going to move until you eat that deer, and don't worry we will provide the fire. Just said when you want it. Saphira said grinning that she has another dragon to make plans with to make Eragon eat meat.

"You are not going to give in are you?" Eragon asked, and to his displeasure she said no.

20 minutes later

"Ok, now." Eragon said after he had finished cleaning a piece of meat off of the deer. "Just don't burn it please." Eragon said as Saphira cooked it for him seeing as Draco was fast asleep.

There now eat it, or I will wake up Draco so he can help me. Saphira said, waking up Draco could end badly for him; he did not to want to get a dragon as powerful as Draco mad at him.

"Mmm that is good; I don't know why I had stopped eating meat for." Eragon said as he enjoyed the taste that he has been fighting to not taste again.

See, what have I been telling you, plus you didn't have a choice in the matter. One way or other you were going to eat meat again, either after I choose my mate or we live far enough away from the elves that you will have to eat meat again. Saphira said happy that her rider had finally started eating meat again.

The next day Arya came with some good news and some bad news

"Eragon, we need you and Saphira to help us seize Feinster. I want Draco to go and get the Dwarfs to come and help. Can you do that Draco?"Arya asked.

Yes I can, but why now? Draco asked confused.

"Because we need them to help and distracted Galbatorix's army while you three save Grace." Arya said.

Ok, well I will see you later Saphira. Draco said as he jumped up off the ground so hard that the earth cracked in dozen places as he started to fly over to the big city mountain that is the dwarf's capital.

Yes me and Eragon will help you, but why just send Draco there alone. Saphira asked worried about Draco.

"Because Nasuada is getting impatient and wants to finish the war, we could use the Dwarfs to end it faster. Queen Islandazi and her army are coming down from the north to meet us in Uru'baen."Arya said glad that this war is almost over.

What happened here? Thorn asked as they landed next to the pile of rocks that was once Helgrind.

I think that Draco did this, but where are the bodies of the Ra'zac, I don't see them anywhere. Grace said as Galbatorix jumped down from her back.

"This is impossible, I don't know of any dragon with this kind of power. Draco must be dead, no one can survive a blast of that size." Galbatorix said starting to laugh that Draco killed himself.

I don't see his body either. Grace said. "Draco no, why did you have to die like that, I won't believe it, there is no way that this blast could have killed you. Grace said in her inner mind crying that he is dead."

"There is nothing worth saving here, let's go back and plan on destroying the Varden now that the one thing that could have helped them win the war is now gone." Galbatorix said laughing as he jumped onto Grace's back.

Yes master, but what if we are wrong? Grace asked as they flew back to Uru'baen.

"Then if he survived he will be very weak, if this is true I want you to kill him, no mercy. Kill him in front of the Varden, that will shatter their will to fight." Galbatorix said evilly.

The hole I made is still there, something is wrong here. Draco said as he flew through the hole that he made the last time he was here.

When he got in the city he was hit by arrows tipped with poison.

AHHH, what did I do wrong. Draco said as he fell to the floor to be carried off to who knows where.

Eragon I can see Feinster now. Saphira said, and then she felt pain in her body like arrows stuck in her flesh.

What is wrong, Saphira? Eragon asked, and then he too started to yell in pain as well.

I think Draco is in trouble, but he is too far away to know what has happened. Saphira said in a pained voice as she started to fall from the sky unable to keep herself up from the pain.

"ERAGON, SAPHIRA!" Arya yelled as she saw Saphira falling from the sky.

AHHH, what is going on? Saphira said as more pain gripped her, as they hit the ground but not that hard because of the twelve elves were slowing their fall.

An hour later

What happened? Saphira said with the pain gone.

"I don't know, all we saw was you two falling out of the sky for some reason." Arya said concerned.

At this Saphira jumped up startling Arya. Draco is in trouble. Saphira said as she started to wake Eragon up.

"What are you sure?" Arya said as she helped her to wake up Eragon who was out cold.

Yes, he got shot with poison tipped arrows, but we can't help him. It will take three days to reach him if I fly non-stop. Saphira said getting worried.

"What happened? And why does my head hurt so badly?" Eragon asked as he looked at the worried faces on the two females in front of him.

Eragon Draco got shot with poison tipped arrows, but I fear it may be too late to save him. He is too far away. Saphira said sadly sitting down in front of her rider.

"But Saphira it won't hurt to try and get to him, he is tough he might be able to hold out for a week. So if we hurry we can make it to him before he dies. It must have been that one clan of Dwarfs that hate dragons more than anything."Eragon said as he jumped onto Saphira's back.

"But Eragon, what about the seize on Feinster?" Arya asked them.

"Sorry Arya, but if Draco dies we will lose the war, because he is the only that is a match against Grace, and the only one who knows how to free her." Eragon said as Saphira started to fly away.

"Just come back alive." Arya yelled after them.

Is Draco going to die from the poison? Or will Saphira make it to him and save him. And what does everyone have against Draco. Why is almost everyone trying to kill him? And who shot Draco? Was it the Dwarfs or some spy from Galbatorix sent there to kill Draco. Then who carried Draco off? How long can Draco hold out before he dies?

Be sure to read the next chapter.

Thank you to those who are reviewing. I need a male dragon name for the green egg that Galbatorix has. I would like it today or tomorrow. Don't be afraid to give me names, what names I don't use now I will use later, most or all of them for more dragons and dragon review.
