Two of a Kind
Reuniting
"What is this?" I ask, looking at the gloves in my hands.
"They're for you. You need to wear them from now on." Claydon says in a commanding voice. I nod, and put them on. "Okay." Claydon walks towards the door. I jump out my window, and walk towards Adrik. I put a hand on his forehead.
*I won't be long.* I say. He looks at me with sad eyes.
*What if they hurt you?* Adrik asks as Claydon turn the corner.
*They won't! I'm stronger than that!* I say with as smile as I take a step back.
"It's time to leave, Kayashi." Claydon says, laying a hand on my shoulder. I look at him, and nod.
"I'll come back as soon as I can." I tell Adrik as I follow Claydon towards the gates. As soon as we get a good distance from Adrik, I look at Claydon. "Are we going to be walking?" I ask.
"No, we're going to ride." Claydon says. I look at him, confused. "Horses." He says when he sees my confused face.
"Ah!" I say with wide eyes. Claydon smirks.
"Stay here whileI go get them. I won't be long." Claydon says, walking towards the barn. I lean against a tree until something catches my eye. I look, and see the symbol on the wall. I walk up to it.
"What is up with this symbol!" I say, glaring at the wall. I run my hand over the symbol, and feel a jolt of go through my hand. I instantly remove it, and glare at the wall once again. "You didn't have to do that!" I yell at it.
"Talking to walls now, huh?" Claydon says behind me. I jump at the sudden noise, and sigh.
"Not walls, this symbol." I say, gesturing towards the wall. Claydon grins.
"What would you say if I said I don't see anything?" Claydon asks. I look at him.
"What do you mean?" I ask. He shrugs.
"I don't see anything......on the other hand..." He walks a few feet away. "I can see a symbol right here." He says as he lays a hand on the wall.I look at it for a moment.
"I don't see anything." I say, looking back at the symbol in front of me. Claydon walks back up to me. "Why is that?" I ask.
"We only see the symbols of those that are the closest to us." Claydon says. I look at him, confused.
"But I don't know any of your father's followers....besides you. And I don't think that's your symbol." I say, gesturing towards the wall. He grins.
"You assume correct." He walks to the wall, and moves his hand on one of the rocks. I jump back. "This one in particular belongs to....Morzan." Claydon says, examining some kind of language on the rock face. My eyes widen.
"What the hell do I have in common with him?" I ask, glaring at the rock. He smiles.
"A lot more than you think." He says. Ilook at him, confused.
"What do you mean?" I ask. He merely shakes his head.
"You think about it. I'm sure you can figure it out." Claydon says. He glances towards the gates. "We should get going." I look to see all the men gone.
"You're right!" I shout as Claydon hands me the reins of a pitch black stallion. I jump into his saddle, and we ride off.
We had talked all the wall to the Boer Mountains. We stop our horses. I look over at Claydon, only to see him grinning.
"Excited?" I ask. His grin grows.
"Just a little." He says, looking at me. I smile back.
"Me too!" Isay, glancing at the mountain face. Claydon jumps off his horse, and ties it to a stone. He looks up at me, and smile.
"Don't forget to keep those gloves on."Claydon says. I hear flapping. When I look up, I see a huge black dragon. It lands, and looks me in the eyes.
*It's very nice to finally meet you, young dragon rider.* The dragon says, blowing air out of it's nose. I just sit there, not flinching a bit.
"It's extremely nice to meet you as well, great on." I say, jumping off my horse so I can bow.
*Hm...* It looks at Claydon. *She pleases me greatly.* The dragon says, smiling. I stand back up straight, looking at Claydon.
"How come you never told me about your dragon or that you're a rider?" I ask. Both Claydon and the dragon look at me.
"We were waiting until Adrik was old enough to train with her." Claydon explains. I nod.
"Makes sense." I say, and watch as Claydon jumps onto the dragon's back. He looks down at me.
"We'll continue this conversation later." Claydon says, looking at me with examining eyes. I nod. The dragon snakes her head over to me, and looks me in the eyes.
*Be safe, young one.* She says as she taps my forehead with her nose before retreating back to her original possition. I lay a hand on my forehead, and feel a strange mark against my hairline. I bow low.
"I thank you." I say. I straighten back up, and watch as they launch into the air, and fly away. I grin as I jump back onto my horse, and ride off towards battle.
I enter the Boer Mountains, and look around to see destruction and mayhem everywhere. I draw my sword as I jump off my horse, slicing one of the Varden's men as I do. I grin as I watch four more men run at me.
The battle continues, and the Varden are winning. Iwipe the sweat from my forehead seconds before I see another man running towards me. I block his blow, only to notice something.
"M......Murtagh?!!" I ask, knocking the point of his sword to the ground.
"That's my name. What does it have to do with you?" Murtagh asks, looking at me in confusion. I smile.
"It's me, Murtagh! Sheryl!" I say, removing my sword. He looks at me for a moment.
"Sheryl? Bu....why are you fighting with the king?" Murtagh asks, sounding confused. I sigh.
"I don't have a choice, Murtagh." I say, looking at the sky when I hear a dragon's roar. I watch as a dragon launches itself out of the caves.
"About time they decided to join the battle!" Murtagh says with a grin. My eyes widen.
"Eragon!" I yell, worry lacing my voice. Murtagh looks at me in confusion.
"What's wrong?" Murtagh asks. I look at him.
"He's going to get killed!" I say, almost hysterical. Murtagh merely smiles.
"Your brother's been training hard since the last time you saw him, Sher. He can take care of himself." Murtagh says. I shake my head.
"No! You don't understand, Murt-" I'm cut off by the sound of a hurt dragon's cry. I look up to see Durza's pet. "I'm going to regret this later..." I say, and begin to chant something. Murtagh watches with bothworry and interest. A giant fireball appears out of the sky, and hits Durza square on. I sigh as I open my eyes.
"That was....amazing!" Murtagh says. I look at him with a sad smile.
"Yeah well..." I hear growling in my head, and look upa second before I see Claydon and his dragon sweep down out of the sky. I grin evilly as I look at Murtagh, but instead of attacking him, I run at some guy with black hair and skin. I manage to cut his arm before he realizes I'm there.
"Sheryl!" I hear Murtagh shout. I ignore it, and watch the guy grab him arm. I bring my blade up to my mouth, and lick the blood off it., grinning.
*Good girl.* I hear a familiar voice say in my mind.
*A....Adrik?* I ask. I hear laughter.
*The king sent me.* Adrik says. I look towards the sky, only to see him flying over the lowest part of the mountain, towards me. I lift my arm, and he grabs it in his claws before rising back into the skies.
*So you finished growing?* I ask as I climb into the......saddle? *Where did this saddle come from?* I ask. Adrik looks back at me.
*The king said it was your inheritance.* Adrik says, sounding just as confused as I feel.I look at him.
After a few moments, I shrug, and focus on the battle once again. Adrik looks down, then towards Claydon and his dragon before looking at Eragon and Saphira.
*Is that the dragon you were talkingabout?* Adrik asks, motioning towards Saphira. I sigh.
*Yeah.* I say with a sigh. Adrik looks back at me with excited eyes.
*What are we going to do?* Adrik asks. I take a deep breath before letting it out.
"We're going to fight!" I say, the evil grin returning to my face. He grins as he goes into a dive. At the last minute, he pulls up, and swings his tail. About 100 of the Varden's men are killed instantly. I begin to chant again. About 60 fireballs appear in the sky. With a quick flick of my wrist, they fly at the ground. Another 1,000 or so men are killed.
This continues for about half an hour before I hear a cry of agony. Both Adrik and I look, only to see Saphira falling towards the ground. Adrik flies towards the spot she landed.
"Eragon!!!" I yell at the same time he begins to dive. I reach an arm out. We get to the ground, and I see Eragon laying on the ground about 10 feet away from Saphira. I go towards him, and flip him onto his back. He grunts in pain before opening his eyes a small bit.
"Shery.....l?" He asks, squinting his eyes.I smile sadly.
"It's me, big brother." I say, putting a hand on his face. He sighs.
"I thought the king had you." Eragon says. A tear falls down my face.
"He does, Eragon." I whisper, and watch his eyes widen. He backs up.
"Watch out, Sher!" He says, standing up, only to fall back to the ground.
"They're for you. You need to wear them from now on." Claydon says in a commanding voice. I nod, and put them on. "Okay." Claydon walks towards the door. I jump out my window, and walk towards Adrik. I put a hand on his forehead.
*I won't be long.* I say. He looks at me with sad eyes.
*What if they hurt you?* Adrik asks as Claydon turn the corner.
*They won't! I'm stronger than that!* I say with as smile as I take a step back.
