The Rising Shadows Part 1
While Finca is unconscious, Nira takes control over Tamli's body and finds his way to Uru'baen.
Finca'sss little plan messssssed me up only ssslightly, Nira thinks as he enters the flaming throne room.
Nira chuckles to himself as he looks around.
Finca certainly knowsss how to dessstroy a place, he chuckles in amusement.
Nira halts, sensing Finca's presence nearby although it is very weak.
It ssseemsss that ssshe did sssurvive her fight agianssst Galbatorix, Nira sighs. Oh well, more fun for me.
With that he walks over to where she lays. He draws Tamli's sword and holds it just above her head.
Your end isss here Finca, the blackened dragonic spirit growls as he slowly lowers the sword.
The growls of a wakening Shruikan makes Nira halt. His gaze turns to the black dragon and he growls under his breathe.
Ssso clossse, he mutters to himself. But next time you're mine Finca!
With that Nira leaves as Shruikan fully wakes. At first the black male looks around for Galbatorix but then he recalls what Finca had done.
Shruikan, trust me. This may harm you but it will break you free from the king, Finca growls within the black dragon's mind as she stares at Galbatorix.
I trust you, Shruikan replies.
With a hair-raising howl Finca's Shadow cover fades to reveal her true scale color. Instantly Shruikan feels a calming presence wash over him.
Peace dragon, a voice calls out from the distance.
With that the black male lowers his head to the floor and closes his eyes, feeling the darkness that has chained him down for so long begin to vanish.
Finca did this for me and so I will repay the favor, Shruikan thinks as he grabs Finca by the back of her neck and tosses her onto his back.
After doing that Shruikan opens his massive black wings and flies out through the same window that Finca entered in. He stops suddenly and circles around the giant castle until stopping before a normal patch of greyish stone. Shruikan opens his mouth and melts the stone like it was wax to reveal a hidden entrance to the dungeon.
I mustn't leave without the green egg, the black male thinks as he lands next to the egg.
He grabs it with one paw and jumps back into the air. After that Shruikan leaves the city and soars toward the city of Das-Leona, the location of the Varden.
