Eragon gently set the letter back onto the table. He went over to Banon's body and gently gathered all of her feathers. He didnt know exactly what he was supposed to do with them, but he decided to make a belt, a necklace, a braclet, and an anklet out of the feathers. As soon as he was done, he felt his strength start to drain and fill up the feathers. He lifted Banon's body and walked over to Bralan. "Would you like to it..I dont know if I could...." he asked, turning away.

Bralan nodded and silently walked out, to the back, to dig a hole in the ground in which to burn her so the ashes wouldn't go everywhere right away. He stroked her face and kissed her cheek before stepping a few feet away and covering her with his deep green magical fire, heatlessly and scentlessly disintegrating her. Then he gathered the ashes with magic and found an urn to put them in for now. Walking back into the house, he asked Eragon, "Will you help me scatter them? It would be her wish."

Eragon looked up at Bralan. He sighed and took a deep breath. "Yes..." he stood up and walked out. Bralan handed some of Banon's ashes to Eragon and Eragon let them loose into the wind. "She would have wanted to fly one last time." he said, watching the ashes float off into the distance.

"Yes..." Bralan watched the ashes and allowed one tear to escape his eye, then turned abruptly and began walking away. "What should we do next, Eragon?"

Eragon handed Bralan the anklet and the headband he made. "Keep these with you all the time, fill them with your energy. we should probably go destroy that....thing" Eragon said, starting to walk off into the woods.

"Thank you. These will come in handy." Bralan followed, gliding on emerald wings flecked with white. "Where do we find it?"

ERagon looked at him. "Use the energy he'll be taking to try and make himself better....find out where its all going to...thats him." he said, gliding off of the ground. "Lets start looking."

Bralan followed Eragon's instructions and found the channel instantly. "Follow me," he said, gaining height and speed as he headed towards the base of the mountains, a place filled with faerie overflow power. It was heading in electric streams to a center, a greedy center sucking it all in. He could see it in his mind.

Eragon quickly matched Bralan's speed and they started to fly towards the mountain. Eragon suddenly felt the pull of magic being sucked towards the base of it. He angled downward and landed in the trees, near the base. He saw what they were fighting....a monster.

Bralan sucked in his breath. What were they doing? Barely prepared, himself a youngling... he pushed every thought out of his mind but the simple thought, 'Defeat it.' Then he crept around the monster, invisibly, snipping off every thread of energy and redirecting a few to himself.

Eragon silently wrapped the creature in a force field and pulled a few of the energy streams towards himself. He noticed Bralan only feet away from the monster. He felt himself start to worry. 'Be careful' he sent to Bralan in the severely guarded mind link they shared.

Bralan didn't reply and instead focused his whole mind on penetrating the creature's walls. He began siphoning off knowledge, secrets, ways to defeat it. It screamed in agony as its mind was invaded. Bralan concentrated harder, clenching his teeth in pain. What seemed like an eternity later, he let go, and the monster stood limply as Bralan focused his gaze on Eragon. 'Its back. With a highly focused beam of energy. Then, get out of here.' He laced the last words with mesmer, so Eragon would surely obey him. He waited for Eragon's attack, poised for action.

'Why do you feel the need to control me...youre coming with me.' he sent back with his own mesmer so he would be obeyed as well. He worked up a biggg burst of energy, keeping it inside of him. He let loose the energy and screamed from the pain of it coming out of him. It hit the creature dead center in the back. The creature howled in pain as the girl, limp, started to twitch. Eragon continued to let his energy loose. He felt his life start to drain, but he kept going as the girl started to get up. She looked exhausted. She slammed her fist into the mountain above them and Eragon stopped the energy flow as a huge rock slide began to occur..with the girl right underneath the rocks along with the creature. The girl fell again from exhaustion and using her magic. Eragon flew over to her and picked her up in his arms. He grabbed her and flew slowly towards the trees. 'Take energy from me...you gotta go faster...' she mind sent him. He took some energy from her, but not too much because she was already drained. He sucked some energy off of the dying creature. He started to race towards the forest, now reenergized. Bralan was just ahead of him as he sped through the trees, not knowing what was going to happen next.

Bralan had planned on attacking the creature after Eragon's strong attack and finishing it off, possibly sacrificing himself, but his plans were all screwed up now. They raced towards the camp and Bralan lent some energy to the girl and Eragon, knowing he had more left than either of them, being a young hybrid.

Eragon laughed as Bralan crashed right into Brooke. He landed to see what would happen. As he stood there, he grabbed a bedroll and unrolled it. He gently laid the girl down on the bedroll. 'What's your name?' he asked her. 'Christy' she answered. 'Okay, well my friend Brooke is going to take care of you.' he said, before she even answered.
