Eragon the sequel

Get Up

I woke to a scruffy little boy with tussled black hair and dark eyes slapping me on the cheek. Once I woke he said, " I am Solembum, a ware cat, and help is on the way.... but for now it's just us three."

I tried to get up but I only managed to get to a knee. From behind me I herd a woman gently say, "Easy Dear.  You have too many wounds to be even thinking of standing,  but allow me to heal those for you."

"How many of the incoming Shadows are still alive?" I asked harshly.

"Most of their force still marches.  Why do you want to know?  You can't even stand. " she asked confusedly

I didn't say anything but I did manage to get up and pick my swords up from the ground.  I prepared myself for the incoming force and got into position to fight. 

Well,  I guess there is just no way of stopping you but I guess I can come to keep you alive." she said, sounding very surprised. The Shadows didn't know that we were alive and so we crept behind their backs.

" Three... Two... One... Kill!" I said quietly and we both crept forward  I said "Svell!" and froze them all and she said something under her breath.  They all shattered.  My guess was that she said break but I didn't ask. That spell took most of my remaining energy and I fainted,not able to stand, and fell forward.

"Are we prepared to leave?" I asked.

"Yes but we can't leave without Evander," Arya said angrily.

"Yes I agree.  We will leave to search for him together." I suggested.

"No! I will go!  You and Saphira stay and protect the ship from any Shadows that approach," she said angrily.

"Ok.  Good idea.  See you later," I replied.

"Firnen, did you get any of that?"  I said urgently.

"Ya.  I heard now let us get a move on." he said happily.

We flew from where we moved the ship to the river bank where we were attacked.  We saw ice blocks which had Shadows in them split in half down the middle.

"It looks like he used magic to kill them all," I said amazed. We flew around a few times until I found him laying face down in the grass. "Just take him back to the ship but mind his wounds or he may bleed out ," I said sharply.

"Try to speak to him with your mind and find out how bad it is," Firnen said concernedly.  I reached out to him with my mind and he didn't even try to stop me which scared me a little.

"Evander what happened are you badly wounded?" I asked concernedly.

"I'm afraid my wounds are deep and I used most of my energy to kill all the Shadows. I fear my time may be running out," Evander said faintly.

Firnen was listening to him as well and picked up some speed. "Just hold on for a while.  We are almost to the ship," I said, afraid. About two minutes later we arrived on the ship and dropped him on the deck.

Eragon appeared out of thin air beside him and started inspecting his wounds. "Looks like an arrow wound in his right shoulder; a sword slash deep in his right leg; and a arrow burred deep in his lower back. It's not good Arya.  We may not be able to heal this," Eragon said sadly. But then something that confused us all happened. His wounds closed and healed by themselves.
