"One arrow to it's head,and plop it fell to the ground."

  I then herd Luna from behind Edward and I. "Wait,your an archer too?" Luna asked,Kiba nodded "Yup,been at it since I was a pup." he said proudly. Luna smiled "Me too." she said casually,I just noticed that Toby had a belt strapped around his waste and a sword hilt stuck out of the scabbard,and Luna had a quiver strapped around her back,and had a bow slung around her back too. "I'm going to go practice." Kiba announced "I'll go too." Luna volunteered. Kiba nodded "Tell me when the food's ready Ed!" Kiba called over his shoulder as he marched into the woods with Luna following.

                                                                               My First Clue

     "Eragon." I whispered,no answer, "Eragon."I whispered louder. "Hmm?" he mumbled sleepily. "Do think that we'll defeat the dark lord,I mean Kiba Edward and me?"I asked. "You will meet many allies in this journey it won't just be you. But you three will lead all of your allies." He whisperea to me. I looked at my two brothers that were sleeping side-by-side. Then Toby and Luna,and the dragons. "Don't worry too much young knight." Eragon rumbled quietly,I nodded,and felt Pan's fur against my leg,and eventually fell asleep.

     Next morning i was the first to wake up. I nudged Kiba and Edward awake,"What?" They both mumbled sleepily "Is the barn on fire Johnny?" Edward asked sleepily. I laughed,"No idiot." I chuckled "We are going hunting and getting breakfast before we head out again.". "Ok,just let me get up." Kiba said and hauled himself up,his Brown hair was all frizzy and his eyes were closed. "Ok,I'm up,go get the food." He mumbled "we are going to get the food,smart one." I laughed quietly careful not to wake anyone up. Kiba grumbled and nodded,eventually Edward got up,we grabbed our weapons and quietly headed out into the forest. It wasn't long until  herd something in an old Maple tree. "Squirrel for breakfast." Edward mused,"One squirrel coming up!" Kiba said taking a bow out of his quiver,and got his bow ready. He aimed it were the rustling came from, But instead of a squirrel a ten year old pup jumped out of the tree,it was either that or a really big squirrel.

    "Heeeyaaaa!"The pup screamed as he fell on top of Kiba which out of surprise shot his arrow at me, "Hey!" I yelped as the arrow barley missed my shoulder. "Geff off meff." Kiba said in a muffled voice,I got a better look at the pup now. He had a Orange fur, spiky Golden  hair, Golden eyes like Edward, a ripped Tunic,Ripped leather pants, dirt smeared his face,and then I noticed a big Timber wolf jump off the tree and land perfectly on his paws. "Are you ok Spark?" The wolf asked worried tone. "I'm OK Creek,don't worry." Spark reassured,"I know you from somewhere." I herd Edward whisper,then Spark shot a look at Edward "What are you looking at?" Spark snapped.

   "What?" Edward yelped "Oh nothing.". Spark snorted,and finally got off of Kiba. "I can breath!" Kiba cheered,and hopped back on his feet. Spark snickered,"So what are you lot doing this far from Animore?" "A quest." Edward huffed,"Oh-ho!" Creek said "Little wimp is showing some guts!". Spark nodded in agreement,"Hmmf,well I'm not weak,and unless you want an arrow in your head,I suggest you move aside." Edward growled. "Wait."Spark said stepping in front of Edward,"If you are on a quest,I would like to come with."  He said. Edward snorted "Why would I want someone that harasses me on a quest with me?" Edward asked. "I won't!" Spark promised "I have a Wolf,and I have a crossbow.."He said trailing off. "Were is it then?" Kiba piped up.

     "Creek has it." Spark replied looked at the leather vest with a huge pocket. Spark bent down beside him and pulled out the crossbow. "And do you have a Dragon?" Edward asked pointedly. "Aye," Spark replied "Everyone in Animore has one!". "Where is he then?" I asked, "I forgot to call him. "Spark said sheepishly "Gendo!" He called,then a White Dragon shot up in the sky He had Black spikes on his head,and long talons. He dove toward us and landed slowly. "Hello Gendo." Spark said dipping his head "Spark." Gendo said dipping his head back.

    "So," Gendo shooting us a toothy grin. "your the ones that I've seen flying above Animore.". I nodded "Yes." "Why is that so?" Gendo asked I dared to look down at those long sharp Black talons. "Spies for the king perhaps?" Gendo growled smoke leaking from his nostrils . "If you are,then you die!" Gendo roared,but Spark stood in front of me "No Gendo!" He ordered "Get out of the way Spark!" Gendo growled.

    "No!" Spark growled"why would they be spies if they are trying to kill the king?" Spark demanded. Gendo stopped growling "Kill him?" Gendo asked. "Wait," I said "how did you know that? We didn't tell you.", "Yeah,It's called 'Border Patrol' genius." Spark said, Creek nodded. "So." Kiba said "If you want to join our quest,come back to camp with us." He said. Spark nodded "Ok." He said and started to follow Kiba. "Wait!" I said,they both turned to look at me. "Did you get the food Kiba?","Yeah!" Kiba grinned He held up a fist full of animals he was holding them from the tail down. "three squirrels,a rabbit,and a cat!". "Leo is going to kill you." Edward told Kiba.

 "So." I said to Spark "Do you know anything about King Randolf?". Spark nodded "Gendo used to work for him,but quit when he saw what the King does to his prisoners."  Gendo shuddered "It was the most horrible thing I've ever seen," Gendo said "He torturers information out of them, then makes his guards pull them limb-from-limb.". I stared at Gendo,now it was all the more reason to save my parents.

                                                                    We Meet an Evil..Woman?

     "Toby!" I called,Toby jumped out from a bush with his sword ready,then relaxed "Oh it's you." He said in relief. "Uh-hu." Kiba muttered "So,I'll cook up the grub,and we'll head out for the next town." Kiba said. "No." I said firmly,Kiba looked back at me "Why not?" He asked. Percy looked at me "Yeah,sounded good to me,and plus,I get to eat some cat.". "Hey!" Pan and Leo hissed,"We're going to Animore.",Percy,Pan,and Leo ignored me. "You want to eat us too?" Pan hissed, "Certainly not!" Percy said acting offened but I saw a little gleam in his eye. "It would be fun to watch." Toby's weasel piped up. Pan was just about to make a retort when we herd screaming..from a woman? "Get them! But spare the man! Kill the others!" The female voice shrieked.

    "Oh boy." Kiba said nervously "An angry woman, not good." . Then an older looking male about in his late teens or early twenties burst through "That crazy woman!" He gasped as he hid behind me shaking. and three boys followed shortly after, one was about eleven, another was about nine,and the other was six or seven. The three boys hid behind Edward who already had his crossbow loaded. Spark took one of Edward's bows from his very small quiver and loaded it. Toby and I drew our swords
