Celebration

Arya was shocked at the number of people. There is just so many, she thought to Eragon. Aye, he responded. But you have not seen the full number. Many have had to stay at their towns to do work and take care of their families. I would guess you have only seen two thirds, maybe less, of the islands full population. Arya could not believe Eragon's words. More than this? she thought to herself. It was amazing. Not as many people as Ellsemeras population, but it was still quite a sight.

She saw Elves taking among one another and pointing at her with excited expressions on their faces. Arya then remembered what Eragon had said about the spy's, how they could be anyone. She looked out among the crowd, and watched the excited faces of the people talk and point to her and Eragon. Any of you could be a spy trying to kill me or Eragon, she thought.

As if she had though the magic words, she saw two people with knifes coated is something that looked red start advancing so very slowly towards her that only she and Eragon could notice. She contacted Eragon. Do you see those two Elves with the knives heading this way? Yeah I see them. I have already alerted Blödhgarm. They will be taken care of, try not to draw any attention to them.

Right then ten Elves, five on each side of the spy's, jumped in and grab the two in a quick swift motion that no one noticed. The spy's tried to cast a spell but the Elves holding them quickly muted them and knocked them out. Then the ten Elves sang a spell that caused the two spies and themselves to disappear, and everything went back to normal, as if it never happened.

It all happened so quickly that no one besides Eragon, Blödhgarm, and herself even noticed. She then felt Eragon brush against her mind. Don't let your emotions betray what just happened. We will find out completely what happened later, but for now act as if you noticed nothing. Arya turned her head to look at Eragon, who looked the same as when they arrived. She then turned her head to Blödhgarm, who also looked the same as he gave his speech, never missing a beat even though he witnessed what had just happened. Amazing, she thought. I have much to learn.

While Blödhgarm was giving his speech about her arrival Arya thought more about Eragon. He has defiantly changed, she thought. Gone was the Eragon who had tried to ask her out and was very naive. Now was the new Eragon, hard as brightsteel on the outside, but soft and sweet on the inside. I like him a lot more, she thought.

Then she was aware that Blödhgarm was almost finished with his speech. "And now I would like for our Queen to speak to her people." he finished and everyone started to clap. Blödhgarm motioned Arya to where he was standing and then stepped out of the way so she was in the center of the stage. The crowd watched her as she stepped to the edge of podium and looked out across the felid of citizens. I'm glad my mother taught me to speak well, she thought.

"Citizens of Dras abr Skulbaka un Shur'tugalar," she began. "I would first off like to thank you for this wonderful celebration arrival." The crowd roared as she finished the sentence. She waited for the noise to die down before continuing. "I have just viewed your city from a bird eye view, or should I say Dragon's eye view, and I would like to congratulate the builders of this wonderful city." Another roar went up from the crowd.

"I would also like to congratulate all of you being here today. Not only have you made a place in my heart for taking time out of your day to see me, but you have also taken the far journey to get to this island, which not many would attempt. So give yourself another round of applause." Again the crowd roared and clapped. "And lastly, I know that my speech is short, but I would like to congratulate Blödhgarm and the rest of the City Counsel. I know it is tough to govern people, and to have all different races here it must be incredibly tough. So give them a round of applause." The citizens clapped, and then she said "Thank you!" to which the people roared and clapped deafeningly loud.

Then Blödhgarm came up again to speak. "Thank you Queen Arya for your words. Now, let the celebration begin!" And with that fireworks shot into the air and the people started to dance. It was truly an amazing sight to behold. Who would have thought Elves, humans, and Dwarfs could all be dancing and holding hands?

Arya turned around to see Eragon and Saphiria in a meeting with the City Counsel. Arya turned to walk up towards them but as soon as she was five feet away she was transported right back to where she started. What just happened? she thought. She tried again and the same thing happened. It is probably a ward, Firnen said in a deep voice. I have never seen a ward like that before, she said. Remember, he began, We are on the riders island, who knows what magic Eragon and Saphiria uncovered while they have been here?

Arya reached out to Eragon mentally. Eragon! Will you let me in past your wards? He looked at her for a moment before saying, I'm sorry Arya, but no. The council does not want you to see the spy's. I don't know why. We are going to go interview them right now. Arya's face flushed in anger. What! she demanded. You are telling me that the people who attempted on my life the council will not let me see? I'm sorry to say so, he responded.

Arya, still heated said, Why won't they let me see who or interview the spy's? I don't know Arya, and I don't think they will tell me. Maybe when I see the spy's I will know why but for now I just don't know. Just go have fun at your party, okay? I will contact you with any new information involving the spy's as soon as I can. Have fun, and be safe. I love you. And with that the connection ended.

She watched as Eragon and his party started to shimmer and disappear, and then they were gone. Arya was still irritated at what Eragon told her, but she thought to best let it be. If they don't want to tell me it must be for a good reason, she thought. She turned back to the crowd and walked down the steps to be greeted by two human children. "Queen Arya," one said. "Is it true you and Eragon are going to get married?"

It took a moment for Arya to answer. Who came up with that rumor? "I hope so!" Then the second child said, "Are you going to stay here forever?" Again it took Arya a moment to answer. "I don't know sweetie." "I hope so. It would be neat to have a Queen living on our island." Then the two kids rushed off and they were then replaced by two adult Dwarfs. This is going to be a long day, she thought.

I hate lying to her, Eragon said to Saphiria. It was for the best Eragon, and you know it, Saphiria replied. I hope so. While Arya gave her speech Eragon met with the City Council. "Eragon, you have to see this," Blödhgarm had said. Eragon walked with Blödhgarm to the circle of Council Members. They were all staring at something. When he poked his head into the circle, his blood ran cold.

The two Elf spy's they had captured lay dead on the floor in front of him. Each one of their slime covered swords was glowing ruby red, and they were hot. Eragon was five feet away from them and he still felt their heat. He was curious of how they died. Did the guards kill them? He was about to ask Blödhgarm his question when Saphiria interrupted him. Little One, look at the Elves rings.

Eragon bent down to see the rings, and when he did see them, his heart stopped cold. He remembered those rings. Both rings were black as night, and they both had bizarre carvings on their sides. They were the rings Galbatorix had worn.

Eragon very slowly got up and turned around to meet Blödhgarm's eyes. "It is impossible." He was starting to shake. Eragon felt all queasy inside. He grabbed his stomach. It felt like his blood was ice cold. "It can, be happening!" He had now started to shout. Blödhgarm grabbed Eragon's shoulders and held him in place. "Calm down. People are starting to notice." Eragon looked around to find some people staring at him from the crowd. "Sorry." he said. This can't be happening, heto Saphiria. But it is Little One.

"What do we know?" Eragon said, turning to face the crowd. "Not much," said Blödhgarm. "When we captured them, they tried casting a few spells but they were unsuccessful. But after teleporting them here, they arrived dead. And also their swords started to become increasingly bright and hot." Eragon turned back to face the council. "Arya arrived last night. I decided to withhold the information, knowing a ceremony would be put in place, and for more personal reasons. But this morning, when I awoke, I was attacked. The attacker shouted 'Deyja Drottning, Deyja!'"

Eragon waited for the council to get mad about not informing of Arya's arrival, but instead they just nodded. Eragon continued. "I'm not sure if the attacker was wearing a ring like these two, but it is possible. And from what just happened today, I believe we all know the purpose of these attacks. To assassinate Queen Arya." The Council Members nodded in unison. "Do any of you recognize these Elves at all?" Blödhgarm spoke. "No, I don't think we would, because these Elves are not from the city." "Then how did they get in the city?" Eragon said. "We don't know Shadeslayer."

Eragon sighed. "The bodies are to be sent to the Unknown Examiner Magician's group. I want those magicians to figure out how they died. And don't teleport them; who knows what will happen. I also want those swords to go the Unknown's Weapon's Magician's group; Make sure nothing happens to them or anyone gets hurt by them. No one is to touch them until we figure out their properties. They are to be under twenty-four seven watch." "Of course, Shadeslayer," Blödhgarm said. He snapped his fingers and three Elves in special cloths came and carefully took away the bodies and the swords.

"Now, may we go to your tower, Eragon? You said there was a body there?" asked Blödhgarm. "Of course." As Eragon started to speak the spell that would take them to his tower, Arya interrupted him. Eragon just realized her speech had ended. Eragon! she said. Will you let me in past your wards? Eragon turned his head to look at her. Then he made a choice, and mixed it with a lie so it didn't seem like he was denying her to see. I'm sorry Arya, but no. The council does not want you to see the spy's. I don't know why. We are going to go interview them right now.

Why are you not letting her see this, Saphiria asked. I have my own reasons, Eragon replied. What? You are telling me that the people who attempted on my life the council will not let me see? shesaid. Eragon looked at the council. "Are you almost ready?" Blödhgarm said. "Yeah, just give me a moment." Eragon replied. He contacted Saphiria. Can you say the spell and cast it through me so I can talk to Arya real quick? Fine.

Eragon felt Saphiria speak the spell mentally and he felt his magic being drawn. He turned his face to Arya. Pretty much, he said to her. He felt anger through the mental link. Why won't they let me see who or interview the spy's? she asked. . Maybe when I see the spy's I will know why but for now I just don't know, he said. Just go have fun at your party, okay? I will contact you with any new information involving the spy's as soon as I can. Have fun, and be safe. I love you. And with that he severed the link.

Just then Saphiria finished the spell and he felt his magic take shape and the spell start. As they started to disappear Eragon looked back at Arya's face. And then it was gone, replaced by a wooden wall panel as they appeared inside of his tower.
