The Final Fight Part 1
What? Finca asks the panic-stricken red male.
It's true, Thorn says, calming slightly.
"You lead Eragon and Saphira to us? Why?" Murtagh questions.
I didn't know that he would follow Tamli and come after me, Finca growl sharply, feeling her rage begin to rise.
Calm yourself Finca, She think, closing her eyes and drawing a long breath.
"Well what now Finca. Galbatorix has made me swear in the Ancient Language to capture Eragon and Saphira the next time Thorn and I meet them," Murtagh says.
I see. A challenge but it won't harm my plan, Finca growls.
Which is? Thorn asks.
Can you two take me to the King? Finca asks, her tail twitching with excitement as she realizes that this new idea might work and get Tamli and herself closer to the King then she had originally planned.
After explaining my idea of Tamli and herself slipping into Uru'baen, Finca proceeds to tell Murtagh and Thorn her idea on how to grab the green egg and then challenge Galbatorix and Shruikan to their last battle and finally get her chance to free that black dragon from the dark magic that binds him to Galbatorix.
It could work, Thorn says after I finish telling them of my plans. But I must say Finca, you are one of the cleverest dragons I have ever known.
Thank you Thorn. Murtagh?
"Given the idea that you haven't thought this through much and considering that you might be captured and forced to work for Galbatorix, the plan is absolutely absurd!" Murtagh says.
What? Finca snorts.
Murtagh may be right Finca. You are pretty much walking into Uru'baen with a death wish, Thorn snorts.
You don't think I can pull this off? I can and I will! Finca roars before opening her wings and leaping into the air. Fair well Murtagh and Thorn!
This plan will work. It must work, Finca thinks as she soars along, using the warm updrafts to lift herself through the air with little need of effort on her part.
Meanwhile, Tamli grasps Saphira's spines as she lifts herself from a patch of cool, crisp air.
"Winter is on its way," Eragon says as the two press themselves against Saphira's back as she dives downward.
"Agreed," Tamli says.
Any sign of Finca yet? Eragon asks as Tamli overhears his thoughts.
Not yet . . .
Saphira? Eragon asks.
She is right above us and she is headed towards Uru'baen, Saphira says as she banks to the right sharply and takes off in pursuit of Finca.
