Fang had noticed the death of an Eldunari, even as she tore through soldiers. Raising her head, she took flight and sought out the location she had sensed it. She came upon the cousin of Eragon, badly wounded and fading. She landed nearby and cleared the space around him of Empire soldiers, who scattered in terror.

She tore into ranks and stalked the wide streets as the Empire's soldiers panicked in her presence.
