the next moment the other 2, also 2 arrows hit. Now all 3 Urgals were lying on the floor.To make sure that they were really dead, I nudged one of them in the ribs with my foot. Suddenly he took out his arm and pulled me to my ankle, immediately I dug my sword into his upper body. Still shocked, 2 of the kind came up to me. The first I cut off the head, the next, which was much larger than the Urgals I had seen before, I dug the sword into the heart. Fortunately, it fell backwards, not my direction, so it could crush me.
But then I had a new problem:
I couldn't get my sword out of his torso!
I desperately tried to pull it out. But I didn't pay attention to whether more were coming. Suddenly someone shouted:
"Head down!"
I quickly bent down. I heard something fall on the floor, I looked past my leg, it was an Urgal's head.
But I didn't know who had knocked him off. I turned around with a jerk.It was a guy who was in his early twenties or even a few years older than me. He had blonde hair, brown eyes and a bloody sword in his hand. His sword had a red stone carved into the pommel. I turned away from him and desperately returned to my sword. I shook the sword violently, but it didn't move, I sighed. Suddenly the guy pulled the sword and pulled it out of the corpse with ease, as if the corpse was just made of butter. He gave the sword back to me.
"Here!"
"Thanks."
But I couldn't say more, because the next group of Urgals was already coming. Suddenly he did exactly what Suzy had done.
Only he screamed:
"Bringsr!"
And the Urgal troop went up in flames.
"What's your name?" he gasped out.
"Miriam, and you?"
"Eragon."
He looked familiar to me from somewhere, then my eyes fell on his hair, it was probably the slave trader I had seen by the stream. But I just looked at the floor and down to my lower lip.'He can't be a slave trader. Otherwise he would not have warned me. And he would have made a stupid remark by now at the latest, for example: “Little girls shouldn't be on the battlefield!” Or something like that. `
Then my gaze fell on his face, which was not marked by a long, deep scar. In fact, he looked pretty good overall. Then I just decided to keep going. I hoped he would just walk away, but I thought wrongly, he was following me. He mean:
"Stand still!"
When I didn't, he pulled my arm back. It was only then that I noticed that it was pretty quiet between corpses. Then I closed my eyes but only heard the crackling fire and breathing from the guy who was still holding my arm.
"Something's wrong here!" He whispered.
Suddenly over 30 Urgals ran towards us. A winged animal appeared in the sky, it gave a loud scream and flew towards us with fire-breathing nostrils, I was so shocked that I could not move.Suddenly the guy was pushing me on the floor and throwing something over me. I just noticed that the ground was getting hotter below me. Then a hideous stench rose in my mouth and I choked. It smelled of burnt meat.
“You can come up now!” I slowly got up. The sight made me sick to my stomach, Urgals lay charred or burned on the floor, some of them had armor on fire. But all were dead. Now I noticed how my breakfast came up again. I quickly ran between the corpses to the corner of the house and threw up. After a while my sides started to feel like I had a stitch in my side. I choked, leaned against the wall and closed my eyes. Slow steps came
"Is it your first battle?"
"Yes!"
"I can tell you, it's not over yet! You have to pull yourself together a little more, then you can continue to vomit, but only when the battle is over!"Startled, I looked at him, then I walked cautiously on. Although I said nothing more, Eragon followed me after we had brought down a few more Urgals. When 3 Urgal came up to us, because the first one I hit on the head, the next I drilled the sword into the chest area. He sagged, but had a razor-like weapon in his hand, he fell forward. I walked a few steps away from him, but he still caught me on my right calf. A stabbing pain in my calves, I fell to the ground too. However, I got up again immediately, I noticed that it was bleeding but I knew that if I stayed there, it would mean my death. Because more Urgals were coming, I hobbled on on my left leg.
"Is it okay?" asked Eragon.
I just nodded, because I would have to grit my teeth to not scream out loud with every step. After a few more hobbled steps, Eragon stopped."Do you really think it works, it looks pretty bad!"
"Yes, everything is fine"
Now I felt the blood run down my hoe, into my boots, and finally to my pads. Then I heard a scuffle, it came from me, for some reason I couldn't hold back the tears. When I fell to the ground, Eragon came up to me and stopped in front of my trembling body. He sighed and stared at my leg. I noticed that my boot was completely slit from behind, and that this cut was quite deep, as a small pool of blood had already collected around my leg. Then I looked in the direction where we had come from, because the path was covered with a long trail of blood that I had left behind. Suddenly he put a hand on my calf and said:
"Waíse Heil!"
With a searing pain, I looked away from my leg. After a few minutes he sat down next to me, panting.
"What did you do?" I asked."Just stopped the blood loss! But it doesn't cure it because I just closed it. So be careful when you run!" I had heard of magic, but magic that didn't really heal, wasn't really magic for me. I was actually convinced that I could now walk normally, but with a sharp pain in my calf at the first step, I had to realize that it really had not healed. But now it hurt even more than before. So I had to hobble on, but after a few hobbled steps, I have to sit down again and take a break.
“We'll never get anywhere like that, and if we continue like this we'll soon have a horde of Urgals on our necks!” he hissed.
"Well then go alone if I'm so burdensome for you. I didn't ask you to accompany me. And besides, I can take care of myself very well!" I said in a tone that I did was not used to me, although I knew myself that in this condition I could never draw a sword.Even if I tried, if I tried, I would fall to the ground. Eragon was silent, took a few steps away from me and came back to me with quick steps, probably because he had an idea.
"Hello? Do you want to get dressed?"
But Susi shows no reaction. Furiously, I slammed the sword on the table and stomped down to have breakfast. Because I hated it when someone ignored me.
To seal my anger I ate as much as I could, then I went to my room, lay down in my bed and thought about a few things, after my thoughts seemed too pointless to me, I went to Susi's room. But she wasn't there, my sword was still on the table, but next to it was a note that said, `` I'm in the forest! `. So I took my sword in hand and decided to go there as well. After a few minutes, after I had entered the forest, I spotted Susi, who was aiming her arrow at something, I ran to her, but I stopped briefly in front of her.Without looking at me she asked:
"Do you want to practice too?"
I didn't answer. After she let the bowstring snap back, she took my sword from my hand. "Hey, what's that supposed to be?" I nagged. But with the help of the belt, she tied it around my waist.
"So now you don't need to carry it in your hand any more! And now we're going to fight again, but this time with swords!" She went behind Baum and also took out a sword, she pulled it out of its sheath, I also pulled mine. She attacked me immediately.
After a few hard and less hard blows, which I fended off, Susi went down on her knees and looked around searchingly.
"What is it?" I wanted to know and looked around too, but I didn't find anything that looked suspicious.
"Today is the day!" she muttered absently.
I looked at her questioningly:
"What's so far today?"
Susi stopped inside and said to me:
"So we continue to train now!"
In the afternoon after many breaks and exercises.We went back to Daret and had lunch, Susi whispering to me:
"The rest of the day you can do whatever you want ..", she looked out the window, outside "..but don't leave town! Don't ask why, because you'll get out early enough."
Because I wasn't particularly interested in it, I didn't go into it. I continued to explore the city for the last few hours.
And went back to the hostel early that evening. Before I went to my room I looked again in Susi's room, but it was empty. Without worrying, I went to sleep.

Only a loud noise made me startle. It sounded like a war horn. I didn't know what to do, so I threw my door open. Whereupon Susi stormed into my room. She put something on the table just before closing the door she said:
"Put this on, it will protect you a little!"
"What happened then!"
"You see right away!"
As quickly as possible I put on the thing that Susi had put on the table for me.It was a strange top that was covered with thin metal on the elbows and in the chest area. Since it was very thin, I put on my doublet anyway. I quickly tied my hair back, took my sword and tied it around my waist. Then I stepped into the hallway, where Susi grabbed my wrist and pulled me out into the street. She always looked carefully around the corners before we walked along there. At some point I asked:
"What's the matter?"
"You will now experience your first fight. Daret is attacked by Urgals. I was told that they were still at the gates, but now I believe that we will meet the Urgals in a moment."
"And you're only telling me that now?" I said with raised eyebrows. But she was silent.
Suddenly 3 Urgals ran towards us. Luckily Susi had a sword with her, with which she brought down the first Urgal. I hit the other's arm, and he barely missed me with his club. He made a high-pitched scream, in the next moment I imitated Susi and drilled it into his chest area.He slumped.
Suddenly Susi screamed in
