Eragon Page #5

who command them.

- Saphira.

- She's fine.

But she felt your fear as her own.

Your bond with her is strong.

- Those were Urgals, weren't they?

- Yes.

- Did I kill them?

- Yes.

But death is nothing to celebrate.

Magic must be your last resort.

It has rules. It has limitations.

Before you cast a spell, you must learn

the ancient language of the elves.

Brisingr means "fire." Is fire.

The thing is the word.

Know the word and you control the thing.

Before you can cast a spell...

...you must have the physical strength

to withstand its effect.

Some spells may leave you weakened.

Other spells,

as you found out on the bridge...

...can leave you unconscious.

And yet other spells,

if you use them before you're ready...

...will kill you.

I can teach you the words...

...but the limits of your strength

you must learn for yourself.

- What's the word for tree?

- Tree is traevam.

And the branch?

And when a dragon and rider are truly one,

then they see as one.

And that's "skulblakas ven."

Well, since we've announced ourselves

so spectacularly to the world...

...we're gonna have to find

another way through these hills.

Of course, that would be a lot easier

if you were flying.

Did someone mention flying?

Are you ready to try again, Dragon Rider?

I didn't do so well last time.

We didn't do so well.

You can thank Brom for the saddle.

No, that's not so bad up here.

Not so bad at all.

Yeah!

Lean.

Not that much!

Feel how she moves, Eragon.

How she turns. And when she accelerates.

Come on, let's see what you got.

You want speed? Here we go.

Hold on, Eragon.

You asked for it.

There you go.

When we're truly one...

...you can fight from everywhere,

even from the tail.

I wanna try it.

Maybe not yet.

Oh, it's easy. I can do this.

Maybe not yet.

Maybe not yet.

Maybe I can try this.

Fantastic.

You always see like this?

That's nothing. Watch this.

What's wrong?

Ra'zacs.

Brom.

This time they die. Now, go.

With pleasure.

Come on. Come on.

Eragon, stay out of this.

Lower, Saphira, lower.

Eragon. Above you.

Come on.

Protect your dragon.

Your irresponsibility

nearly cost Saphira her life.

Don't worry about me.

I'm stronger than he thinks.

Do you not listen to anything I tell you?

"Better to ask forgiveness

than permission."

Your duty is to reach the Varden alive.

Let's talk about truth

before we start talking about duty.

What are you talking about?

I thought we agreed

not to lie to one another...

...Dragon Rider.

Of course.

Not anymore.

Where's your dragon?

Dead.

She was murdered by another rider

with this sword...

...Za'roc.

That sword is a dragon killer.

The rider's name...

...was Morzan.
