Chapter 2:
Plans
Nasuada was pacing back and forth when she heard the guards. "Eragon Shadeslayer and Roran Stronghammer and here to see you."
"Finally. Let them in." Eragon and Roran entered the tent and sat down at a large table. "If you will be kind enough to wait a moment, Arya will soon join us." Almost immediately, the guards called out Arya's arrival. "Yes, let her in." Arya entered and sat. "I have called you here to discuss plans for conquering Belatona. I have a simple plan. As we arrive, we will surround the walls to prevent any surprises. Among the Varden, I will organize groups to breach the gates. Roran, you will be in charge of the getting through main entrance. Eragon, you and Saphira will be supervising and assisting where possible. Arya, you and the Elves will spread yourselves outside the walls, giving Eragon energy and searching for enemy spell casters. Am I clear?"
Roran and Arya agreed, but Eragon asked, "What of when we enter?"
Nasuada scowled. "I was coming to that. When we gain entrance, the groups will separate to assist the other entrances. After that, we will kill the soldiers, or have them surrender if they haven't sworn to Galbatorix in the ancient language. If we're lucky, many will not have sworn, and will surrender and join the Varden."
Roran nodded. "It sounds like a good plan. When can I organize my group?"
"As soon as possible." Roran smiled and left the tent. "And Arya, you may go inform the other elves." She rose silently and left.
Nasuada faced Eragon. "Have you told him of the Eldunari?"
"Not yet. I long to do so, but a secret must remain a secret. Even if it from my own cousin. He has not learned to shield his mind well, but once he is able to keep his thoughts safe, I will tell him."
Nasuada nodded and asked, "And what of your plan? How are we going to destroy them?"
"I am working on a plan. I will present it to you as soon as possible. We only have one chance at this, so it must be perfect. If we cannot do it right, all may be lost."
Nasuada bowed her head. "Yes. But try to have your plan ready by the time we reach Dras-Leona. I would like to destroy them before we reach Uru'baen. It would give us a much bigger chance."
"I will try my best."
