Chapter 11
The seize on Feinster
"Alright I need Draco and Saphira to attack from above and try and scare the hell out of them, and I need you Zizu to help in breaking down that front gate. We need to capture Lady Lorana, then we can move on, got it?" Nasuada said to everyone.
Come on Saphira just let me know when you are ready. Draco said as Eragon got onto Saphira's back.
Why do they get to fly in? Zizu asked Nasuada.
"Because in war everyone has a job, and we need you to protect our soldiers when you break the gate." Nasuada said as Zizu gave an annoyed growl.
Ok fine, and Draco don't you think for one second that I will let you have Saphira without a fight. Zizu said as he moved to the front of the army.
Ok, one way or another you and me will have mates, don't forget that. Saphira isn't the last female dragon like you thought she was. Draco said to Zizu, but he didn't responded.
Don't worry about him; I would take either of you as a mate. Saphira said which made Draco look at her with a confused look on his face.
"NOW!" Nasuada yelled just as a big volley of arrows rained down on both sides the battle field.
Draco and Saphira roared out to the soldiers which made a dozen or more stop for a second before they continued what they were doing. Zizu was at the gate getting hit with arrows, but thanks to Draco and Eragon's wards they didn't leave a mark on him yet. Arya and Blödhgarm climbed the wall to help out Zizu who was having trouble breaking down the grate; it was protected by a lot of magic. When Eragon saw that Arya and Blödhgarm were suddenly surrounded by 50 soldiers his heart jumped Arya could get hurt.
"Draco, Arya and Blödhgarm need help." Eragon said to the black dragon. Well then let's show them to fear dragons. Draco said as he and Saphira raced to the ground. When the two dragons landed they flatten 20 soldiers. Eragon jumped off and made his way to the two elves that were having trouble fighting off the soldiers for some reason.
"What were you thinking?" Eragon said as he joined them, Draco and Saphira were having fun killing off the other soldiers.
"Zizu was having trouble breaking down the door, it was protected by magic so me and Blödhgarm decided to help him out." Arya said as she sliced another soldier.
"Where are the spellcasters at?" Eragon asked.
"Over there." Arya said pointing at six sellcasters, but as soon as Eragon started to run to them they ran deep into the city. Eragon started to run after them, but Arya stop him.
"No Eragon we have to let the Varden in." Arya said.
"Ok fine." Eragon said as he turned and saw a couple dozen soldiers coming out of the towers. "You all can live if you give in now." Eragon said then quickly added to the two dragons ready to kill the soldiers. "Wait, can we try my way first?" He asked the dragons.
Ok, but if it doesn't work me and Saphira are going to kill them. Draco said lowering his claws with Saphira.
"Ok, now have any of you sworn to the king?" Eragon asked, then one soldier the leader of this group.
"No, will have not, but our Queen has, we will not lay down arms in fear of you capturing Lady Lorana." The soldier said.
"Lay down your arms, we promise not to harm your queen." Arya said but the man just spat at her feet, mad that he did that Eragon chopped off his head.
"Come just lay down your arms and you will not be harmed." Eragon said, this time some did, but the rest rushed forward. Ok, fine just don't harm the unarmed ones. Eragon said with a sign to Draco and Grace. Eragon started slicing away his new sword which in every way was made perfectly for him. Arya and Blödhgarm went to unlock the gates.
The grates started to creak open, everyone then heard a dragon roared. Finally! Zizu said but when he looked around he saw bodies he missed the fun. Oh man come on Draco, Saphira why did you take all of them out, you didn't leave me any. Zizu said as he fell to his knees.
Are you okay? Saphira said rushing over to him helping him up.
Yes, I am fine. You don't know how strong that grate was, do you? Zizu said grinning at Saphira.
Are all you males like this? Saphira asked both Zizu and Draco.
I guess, but we are tougher then you think Saphira. Draco replied.
You males, one of these times you won't have me to help you back up. Saphira said as Eragon tapped her on her leg.
"Can you three stop arguing, we still have a city to take." Eragon said as he jumped onto Saphira's back.
Ok, sooner we take the city the better. Draco said as he and the other two dragons jump into the air and started fly around the city. Arya and Blödhgarm started to go deep into the city, Eragon wanted to go down and help from the ground, Saphira landed as followed him as much as she could, because of the tight spaces between the buildings.
Eragon followed a soldier into a very dark house, the only light from the door.
"Where are you? You do know that you stand no chance in the dark." Eragon said, then he flinched as an arrow fly past his ear. "I know you are here, so come out of hiding." Eragon said as he deflected a sword slice to his head. Eragon then saw the man and sliced him in two, he is still amazed at how strong his new sword is. Eragon moved deeper into the room, only to get hit on his knee with a bat, he was about to slice the little kid's head off when Arya out of nowhere stopped him.
"No Eragon he is just a kid, go on, just stay in here we won't hurt you. Come Eragon Zizu and Draco are at the gate to the courtyard of the castle.
What happened, did a little kid hurt the mighty Eragon. Saphira said laughing.
"Oh be quiet he had a bat and I didn't know he was there." Eragon said a little annoyed as he and Arya jumped onto Saphira's back.
Like last time Zizu was trying to break down the grate, when Draco saw Saphira coming he asked her. What happened did Eragon meet a very strong soldier? Draco asked laughing which made Eragon more annoyed.
"Come on I said I didn't know that he was there." Eragon said starting to get a little mad.
Come on Eragon I was only joking. Draco said as he landed in the courtyard.
"What are we going to do about this gate?" Eragon asked as Saphira landed.
I will break it open, watch closely. Draco said as he used power to kick the gate with so much force that he broke the magic protecting it easily.
Hey I was going to do that. Zizu said annoyed.
Ya right, you will get as far as he did on the first gate, I know you are trying to impress Saphira. Draco said which made Zizu blushed, this is exactly what he was trying to do. Good thing for you I am not, I'm just getting the job done fast. Draco said as Arya ran in.
"Lady Lorana will be in the top floor; me and Eragon will climb the wall and get inside. I want you three to meet us up there." Arya said as she and Eragon started to climb the wall. The dragons fly up around the castle waiting for the two elves to reach the top.
"Ok now where Arya?" Eragon asked her as he felt something was wrong.
"Do you feel that?" Arya asked him.
"Yes, this isn't good, they might be making another shade. Let's hurry up there and stop them." Eragon said as he and Arya ran up the stairs as quietly as they could.
"There they are, but oh NO they are making TWO SHADES. We have to stop them." Arya said, but was startled when Lady Lorana said something.
"Can you please stop them? I have tried and all they said was that they needed to do this." Lady Lorana said.
But it was too late one of the shades were finished. He looked just like Durza, which brought back painful memories for Eragon.
What is going o… no Eragon stop the shade before he kills you. Draco said as he and Zizu landed into the room, but was too late the shade was finished he then ran and hit Arya before Eragon could do anything. Eragon watch in horror as Arya hit the wall and fell down the slowly unconscious, this made Eragon very mad.
"Saphira, I want you and Draco to kill this shade while me and Zizu stop the other one from being made." Eragon said as everyone started their job.
When Saphira got over to the shade he put a long cut along her side, which in turn hurt Eragon. Draco then kicked the shade into the wall cracking it. He then started to heal Saphira, for some reason Saphira was thinking that this shade was stronger than Durza.
"Ha, you worthless dragons, you think you can take me on. Wait until my brother is one, then you will be no more." The shade said laughing as he got up from the wall which surprised Draco, he had kicked him very hard the shade shouldn't be able to get up that easily..
This is why I fucking hate shades; they never know when to stop attacking, or when to call it quits. Draco said as he ran into the shade throwing both of them out of the castle.
Dracooo! Saphira yelled getting up she started to walk to the hole that Draco made, but stopped when she felt pain in her shoulder.
"Saphira we are too late, we now have two shades to deal with, forget Draco for now he can handle himself. I need you over here." Eragon said as he was having trouble blocking the shade's attacks.
Saphira hesitated for a second before she turned to help her rider. When she joined her rider she soon found out that this shade was as powerful as the first one.
Don't you find it odd Eragon these shades are stronger than Durza. Saphira said as the two dragons and rider to fending off attacks.
Man I really fucking hate shades. Draco said as the shade got back up after he was kicked really hard into the ground from 200 feet in the air. I guess I'm going to have to show this shade my true power. Draco thought.
Eragon watch out! Saphira said as she flicked the shade away with her tail.
"Thanks." Eragon said, but when he saw Arya get up he ran over to her. "Are you ok?" Eragaon asked.
"Yes I will live, but first let's take out these shades.
Draco had finally used some of his real power.
I dare you to get back up after this. Draco said as he threw the shade when he was diving straight down at full speed. The crash that happened later was so powerful that it alone created an earthquake that could be felt for ten leagues in every direction. The boom was as loud as a sonic boom.
Draco are you aright? Saphira asked very worried after that big boom, all the fighting inside had stopped for a second.
Not now. Blödhgarm finish him. Draco said as he landed next to the shade. Blödhgarm then stabbed the shade in the heart finishing him.
"You really are strong Draco, but why do you hate shades so much." Blödhgarm asked the black dragon.
I will tell you later, but right the others need help, get on. Draco said as the elf jumped up onto his back.
When they got back to the battlefield there was blood everywhere. Saphira and Zizu both had a bunch of cuts on them, so did Eragon and Arya. The shade didn't look tried at all.
Draco I think that this one is even stronger than the one you killed. Saphira said then she yelled with Eragon in pain as the shade put another huge cut alone her side.
Leave them alone, I have had it with you shades. Draco said as he ran into and clawed the shade faster than any dragon that Eragon or Saphira have seen. All the shade did was laugh at the black dragon, but the laugh soon faded into cries of pain as the fearsome dragon priced his heart with one of his claws, tearing him to shreds.
All Draco did afterwards was fall down, Saphira and Zizu went to help him up.
Man I really, really, fucking hate Shades. Draco said before he fell unconscious.
Draco! Saphira said but Eragon came over with the other two elves and said. "Saphira I want you and Zizu to take him to a safe place so he can rest, me, Arya, and Blödhgarm will tell Nasuada what happened."
Ok, but be careful. Saphira said she and Zizu picked up Draco and flew out the big hole that Draco made.
"Man I never thought that we would have to fight two shades, one is bad enough. Come Lady Lorana I want you to meet Nasuada." Eragon said as the four walked down the stairs to the ground floor.
"Well, good job Eragon. Where are the dragons at? I don't see them flying down." Nasuada asked a little worried.
"Draco fell unconscious after killing the last shade." Eragon said which made her even more worried.
"There was more than two?" Nasuada asked amazed that they are still alive.
"Yes Draco and Blödhgarm killed both of them, but I think we can wait until Draco wakes up so that he can tell you what happened." Eragon said as the soldiers that were still trying to fight stopped when they saw that their queen was captured.
They are started to walk to where Eragon thinks the dragons went.
