Chapter 10

"The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard."
― Gaylord Nelson

Eragon woke up having a bad dream, though he wasn't sure whether it hadn't been a vision of the future.
It was terribly dark, Eragon couldn't see anything.

Something about the air made the atmosphere seem evil.
Something's not right, Eragon thought.
He remembered how Oromis had taught him to sense the presence of other beings, so he tried doing just that.
To his surprise, he sensed over four hundred urgals. He was just going to warn the others when he sensed something else as well, a rider.
"Could it be Morzan? If so, then why not attack us right away?" he asked him self.
"I must stop this at once, but first..." he crept up to the guards and told them to wake the king and arya, but most of all, to get them to safety.
Odin gave a few commands and the king was transported to a safe distance along with his dragon as for Arya, she refused to leave.
Eragon didn't have time to argue with her, he still had to wake Brom and tell him what was going on, when he did, his father-to-be was shocked.
Eragon told him to protect the elves and take down the urgals, while he was going to take care of Morzan.

It took Eragon one command to light up the forest with blue pudles of a glowing substance to make the forest look like a huge arena. No one of the opposing army knew it had been Eragon who lit the woods up.
Now they saw how out numbered they had been, as for Eragon, he was right.
He walked up to Morzan, leaving his friends behind, Morzan did the same.
Brom couldn't believe his x-best best friend, brother almost, had betrayed him, his master,
Vrael and all of the riders.
Morzan spoke with a bit of stress "By order of Galbatorix I have come here to take you into custody"
Brom to hide Eragon from the spotlight stepped out and announced "We will never follow a traitor! Nor a dirty, fat and lying disgrace to the riders!"
"Very well, then I'm afraid I'll have to take you by force!" He roared.
The urgals went for the company, Brom and his Saphira did most of the work, they killed over three hundred beast's with her lava hot fire wrath.

Meanwhile, Eragon had walked towards the traitor, he was ten feet away from him, then:
"I can't believe you of all people would let himself be controlled by a fagot who has no purpose, but to destroy peace in Alegeasia!" yelled Eragon.
Morzan had a hard time thinking on how to respond, finally "Prepare to die!", with that he ran at Eragon and striked at his head.
Eragon easily parried the blow with one hand without even looking. It was at that moment he realized how big of an advantage it was for the other side not to know of him being able to use magic. After a while he got bored of blocking Morzan's attacks and delicately slashed him in the ribs.
Morzan fell to the ground, he tried breaking into Eragons mind but he was way too weak.
He looked for mercy in Eragon's eyes, yet all he could see was a mask, then he heard him speak "You have much to learn, go and run to your "king" and tell him that Eragon kingkiller is on his way to behead him", with that Morzan limped to his dragon and flew away as fast as possible. Eragon joined Brom and counted twenty three urgals left.
He asked "Brom why isn't Saphira pouring hot lava on the urgals?
"Because she's out" he replied.

Eragon barely had enough time to block an urgals hit for Broms head.

"Thanks, I owe you one" said Brom.

Eragon nodded in acknowledgment.

Soon all the urgals were slain, Eragon walked up to his friends and healed any wounds they got during the battle. Odin and Glenwing went for king Evandar and Saphira junior, while Eragon, Arya and Brom searched through the corpses for anything usefull.
Eragon had been on Arya's left when the last urgal jumped jumped out with a dagger from behind an oak tree to strike her. There was no time to use magic, his sword had broken when he was fighting alongside Brom. In that fraction of a second he decided whose life he was willing to sacrifice, he knew what the cost was for what he was going to do and still he did it...
"No!" yelled Arya, Brom Immediately ran to them, but Arya had already slain the urgal.
Eragon lie on the ground bleeding severly, he waved for Brom to come.
Brom tried healing him but it did no good, Eragon said "It is now your duty to do what I have failed to. Convince Vrael to lead all the riders to search for that traitor. There is not much I can give you but my blessing if you want it".
"But of course" he quickly stated
Eragon used the exact words that Brom had given him in the future as his blessing.
"Remember to use these only in times of sever distress. Good luck, you'll need it, tell Arya to come here" he said all the weaker.
Arya knelt by his side, tears were running down here cheeks, she slipped her hand into his and said "Don't go Eragon, we need you! Don't go!"He squized her hand and said "You'll be fine with Brom, Arya I need you to be strong" he coughed blood.
"We don't have much time" he noticed.
"Why did you catch that dagger for me, you're more important than I am" she barely had the power to restrain herself from taking that dagger and doing the same to herself"
Eragon's last words were "I did it" he coughed blood out "because" he coughed some more out, then with his final breath he managed to say "I love... you".
His hand fell to the ground, Arya ran up to Brom and cried on his shoulder, he himself was crying. King Evandar soon came along with is guards, when he found out what happened he was devastated on one hand, on the other he couldn't believe that Eragon had felt the way he had towards Arya. Evandar remembered when Eragon asked him what he would do if the girl you loved had feelings for someone else, now he understood.

Saphira junior raged, when she was too tired to move she asked herself "If Eragon is dead then how am I still alive?"...
