LAND OF CURSE

Chapter 14: THE TOURNAMENT



Felix and the dwarf continued their journey to Eragon, when Felix got to the land of Eragon, he was escorted by the dwarf to meet the queen. When they got into the palace, they were allowed to see the queen Melissa.

When she saw Felix she was annoyed that he came back and she asked "why did you come back after i the Queen forbids you from entering this kingdom?" But he was speechless, then the dwarf spoke on his behalf and said "he came back to protect you my lady, you should tamper justice with mercy" but Queen Melissa asked "who are you, that i should listen to you?" and the dwarf replied "I am a mere commoner, and I barely know Felix but be is a good man".

Queen Melissa sigh deeply and said what should be done to a man who disobeyed his but the dwarf pleaded for Felix and asked the Queen to banned him again, thinking it would be the best solution. But this pained Felix when he heard what the dwarf told the Queen, anyway the Queen accepted the offer of the dwarf and sent Felix away.

The dwarf also pleaded with the Queen that he should be her adviser, she wanted to reject his offer but the dwarf told her that she is around many enemies and sometimes she needs to make an hard decision and she needs someone by her side to advice her so she won't make a wrong decision that she also would regret, he told her many reasons that she needed a personal advisor. After all the dwarf have said and done the Queen agreed to his offer, but she told the that she's only giving him a try.

There is a tournament held in Eragon annually and it would be held the next week, all the greatest fighters and warriors in the city are present there. It's not a fight for the weak and it's also a fight till death, many people in the city will be present that day and they would be sorrow and joy that day because many would lost their loved ones and many will celebrate the wins of their loved ones, this made it very fierce.

An evening before the day of the event, Queen Melissa and her fiancé was inside the room having sex together, when an informant entered the room without knocking and she yelled at him and said "why didn't you knocked before entering my room" and he apologized telling her that it was a mistake. He told her that Felix would be participating in the tournament but she wasn't surprised at hearing that because she knew that Felix was very stubborn.

The next day, everywhere was overcrowded because of the tournament.

The dwarf sat down at the right and side of the Queen and her fiancé sat down at the left hand side, they were noises everywhere but the Queen sat down patiently waiting for the fighters to come out. The first set of fighters came out, they were three fighting against each other, one was holding a spear, the other was holding a shield and a sword while the third one was holding an axe and all of them were fully armed.

They were waiting for the Queen to begin the tournament, she hasn't done it before, it was held by her late father which they called the mad king before he passed away. She didn't know that they were all waiting for her until her fiancé told her that her people her waiting for her to start the tournament and he also told her to clap three times so they can start fighting which she did immediately.

She was looking at the face of her fiancé while clapping, the fight begins between the three of them. They were fighting fearless before the one with sword stabbed the one with axe at his chest this became very bloody, the one with axe fell down and the remaining two continued to battle. The fighter with a sword was very skilled, while they were it the battle he powerfully hits the spear out of his opponent's hand and his opponent was hopeless against him, he kicked the man and he fell down, he then raised his sword up to struck at the helpless man. That was when the man that was lying helplessly removed a knife that that he has hidden by the side of his trouser and he quickly cut his legs with the knife and the man with sword wanted to retaliate back but the man with knife wise took the man with sword from beneath and cut his throat without remorse.
