Ch 7

Sorry for not updating in a while school has been giving me a lot of work so hope you enjoy this chapter.

Roran dropped to his knees and put his face into his hands, tears started to run down his face. Eragon looked blankly into the pool of blood, he didn't know what to say, the woman who Roran was engaged to was gone. Roran stood up and took his hammer from his belt loop and swung it into one of the jail bars. The bar shattered easily and he dropped his weapon and sat down.

Saleth charged at the Ra'zac with a double handed blow over his head. They easily evaded the blow and held the crystal wand towards Saleth and spoke the command word. Lighting erupted from the tip of the wand and struck Saleth in the upper right arm. While the strike didn't cause much physical damage it flung Saleth back in a spinning motion. While Saleth tried to recover Saphira swooped from overhead and hit one of the Ra'zac causing a deep gash across it's face. The Ra'zacs' mounts dropped onto Saphira's back and started to claw into her scales.

Saleth had recovered by this time and held out his hand shouting, "Trebeth Normoren!"

Saphira felt her very form shudder and started to see feathers sprouting from under her scales, she shrunk in size and her autonomy changed, Saleth has transformed her into a hawk.

"What did you do?" Saphira shouted mentally into Saleth's head.

"I gave you and advantage, by changing you into a hawk I gave our enemies a smaller target to hit and you still retain your stamina and abilities with means you can still blow fire." Saleth replied.

Saleth lost time for changing Saphira and the unscarred Ra'zac came up with the crystal wand.

"It's time for you to vanquish." The Ra'zac hissed.

Roran stood up and screamed to the heavens "I WILL AVENGE YOU KATRINA!"

And charged to the top of the tower. Eragon followed knowing that he would need help getting down. Once they reached the top they saw a long streak of lighting coming from the fight striking the side of the tower.

"Saphira where are you?" Eragon asked when he could not see Saphira in the sky.

"I am here." Saphira replied as she shot a brief stream of flame at the Ra'zac.

Eragon received a strong headache in an instant and saw that Roran received the same feeling. Everything started going black and the last thing he saw was an octopus head with milky white eyes.
