After their talk the threesome decided that Eragon would lead them on Saphira and the girls would take turns riding Agni like usual. Their goal was to make it to Feinster a town by the coast that the Varden had just taken by the end of week.
That night Eragon started to assess the girl's training. By the end of the first night Eragon found that the girls could perform some of the most complex spells but not the most basic ones. Then when he changed it to swordplay both of the girls failed magnificently.
Era had tried to just use the sword as a club and ended up throwing it to the other side of the camp. Where Yuaza had actually tried to use the sword as a sword but she kept stabbing the air and never blocked her opponent. Needless to say both girls went to bed with black and blue marks.
The next day Eragon tested how the girls worked with their dragon. Again he was disappointed. Agni had no idea about his riders though they were mentally linked they were three different persons. He gave the girls an assignment to get to know their dragon. Then that night he tested Agni to see what he knew about his riders. The result was passable but there were still barriers between the girls and their dragon. After that Eragon tested them in swordplay again but this time they used sticks instead of swords. Again the out come was the same. Then in magic Eragon had the girls just do simple exersies of control which they failed miserably. This made Eragon start a lecture on how important control is.
Eragon started with "How can you do magic without control? With out control you can easily go from the most powerful to the most pathetic! If Galboratrix had learned how to control his anger we would still have the riders in charge! You must learn how to control your magic, feeling, and your followers. Each has it's own type of control. To control your magic it takes years of practice and determination. To control your feelings you must learn to keep your feelings in check you must learn this by your self because no one can teach it to you. To control those who follow you takes patience and kindness. You must learn to listen to their thoughts and value them as your own. So you most learn control."
For the next days they followed the same pattern by the end Eragon now was telling them not to get overconfident. Though their skill with a sword improved they were still on sticks. On the control level they still lacked it. Usually the lessons ended with one of the girls passing out because they gave to much energy.
As they neared the Varden Yuaza started to worry because Eragon wanted to have them open up to Agni. But she always kept her feelings for Murtagh under lock and key in her brain because she was scared that if Eragon found out that she liked Murtagh she would be thought of a traitor.
On the other hand Era was getting nervous because the more they learned from Eragon the more they learned what will be expected of them. Up till that point Era thought they could join the Varden and still live their free and wild life but how Eragon made the Varden sound was if you breathed the wrong way you would offend some one powerful. Now Era wondered if it would have been better if they joined Galboratrix. With him they would be the ones in charge and then Yuaza could openly display her affection for Murtagh. Era kept on thinking about what the legend teller had said "Now is the time for a new rider to rise and break the tie, for better or worse."
