Eragon watched in horrer from his hiding spot. Saphira wasn't near enough to hear him, he was trapped, and he was in enemy territory. Thorn swivled his head and looked straight at the hiding spot with one ruby eye. Murtagh glanced that way too. His eyes narrowed. Eragon felt a pounding suddenly. Murtagh was trying to identfy him. He tryed to make his mind seem more like anyone. He cast despetly about. The blind beggar! He immeadietly made his mind seem more like the old man's. Murtagh lingered, surprised by the sudden switch. He shook his head and climbed down. Someone came up behind Eragon and tapped him on the shoulder. A young girl looked at him. He sensed that she was a Rider. Surprisingly, she kept her mind open to him.
Go, she thought, I will distract him.
Eragon looked at her in amazement. She opened her mind further and thrust some memories upon him to prove herself.
Andril... another person intruded.
Eragon felt that it was a male dragon.
Go Eragon. I will take it from here.
Eragon nodded and turned he ran out a back way.
*********************
Andril followed Eragon to make sure he left. She ran to where Vanidor was hiding and climbed on.
I question your plan little one.
I do too but...
You can't think of another.
Exactly.
Vanidor sighed and took off. He zoomed straight above the town. The inhabitants below screamed and hid. Thorn roared in challange. Vanidor answered. Andril looked straight at Murtagh. His eye glittered with anger and... exitement?
Vanidor made a second pass.
*************
Eragon watched from a little ways off.
Foolish. he shook his head. They can't possibly beat him.
Eragon looked on grimly.
**************
Vanidor didn't wait to see if the pair would follow them. He put on a sudden burst of speed and vanished over the horizon.
Close. Andril thought.
Yes... but that big brute couldn't keep up with me. Vanidor sighed.
Of course not. Andril laughed.
**************
Eragon watched the particularly large male vanish into the distance.
Hmmm... a good tactic. They got me out and didn't give Murtagh any time to react.
He turned and ran toward Surda. He had a feeling that he was needed.
Go, she thought, I will distract him.
