Chapter 25.1
Finca, Finca what have you done! I scream at her as I see Glaedr down on the ground.
Her attack couldn't have . . . have killed him?
He is fine, she growls with hate. He is merely unconscious. I can change the strength of my Shadow to a form where it would only leave a person, or dragon, unconscious.
Fine, I growl and walk off.
I don't get far, mostly because of the fact that Finca follows me from the air and swoops down on me. She grabs me and begins to carry me off.
Where are we going? I question her.
She says nothing as she lands at the Stone of Broken Eggs, a place where dragons once mated and layed their eggs but after the war against the elves, the dragons abandoned the location.
Why here? I ask.
Because I said so, she replies softly.
I look into her eyes and find that they are distant. Could she have found a mate here?
This place is like a magnet to me. I cannot explain it though, she sighs as she lays down on the cold rocks.
But why here? I ask.
Finca doesn't respond for a moment.
Because of Nigar, she answers.
Nigar? I ask.
It is the name of your sword, Finca explains.
My sword has a name? I ask.
Finca merely chuckles at my question.
It does, she growls playfully.
Why didn't you tell me this before? I ask.
There was no time. I had to ensure that Murtagh didn't find out all that I knew about you, Finca says.
So he wouldn't tell Galbatorix, I comment.
Finca nods her head in agreement.
Correct master, she growls. Now draw Nigar and raise it up!
