THE CLOUDS
OF WAR
From there
it took them almost half an hour to locate Trianna’s tent, which apparently
served as the unofficial headquarters of Du Vrangr Gata. They had difficulty
finding the tent because few people knew of its existence, and even fewer could
tell them where it lay because the tent was hidden behind a spur of rock that
served to conceal it from the gaze of enemy magicians in Galbatorix’s army.
As Eragon
and Saphira approached the black tent, the entrance was thrust open and Trianna
strode out, her arms bare to the elbow in preparation to use magic. Behind her
clustered a group of determined if frightened-looking spellcasters, many of whom
Eragon had seen during the battle in Farthen Dûr, either fighting or healing
the wounded.
Eragon
watched as Trianna and the others reacted with the now-expected surprise at his
altered appearance. Lowering her arms, Trianna said, “Shadeslayer, Saphira. You
should have told us sooner that you were here. We’ve been preparing to confront
and battle what we thought was a mighty foe.”
