Zander felt the wind whipping through his hair as he took New Leaf and sheathed his great blade. He had made sure to clean the sword as they travelled to Belatona, and now he was ready to announce the captive. Yet it wasn't quite good enough. For some reason, Zander was uncertain about that and how he would get everyone to congregate in the area. Yet he was still going to try. Zander felt his mind wander but then he drew energy from the emerald in New Leaf so that he could use magic. The teenager whispered several words in the Ancient Language and then called out. His amplified voice was loud enough for everyone in the Varden camp to hear him now. Congregate in the walls of Belatona. There is a need for all to see and hear the news that is to be told.
Zander released the energy and magic and allowed himself to slump over the saddle. Now that he was in a safe area, he was better off. The teenage rider landed and stayed upon his dragon. It was not a time to dismount the green dragon when attacks seemed to be happening at all times. Zander watched as Varden soldiers and citizens started to appear in the clearing. Yet the only people he wanted to see were Eragon, Arya, Nasuada, and Amanes. He continued to look around but didn't see any of them yet. So the rider waited for them and any other riders or important figures to step into the group. He still couldn't believe that the Varden had so many people to group together like that.

Astreae Wolfbiter listened loudly as the voice was heard and she slowly stood up and began walking towards the area... then she turned back and picked up Ryu... The small teal colored dragon Nandon had trusted with her before he had left for his mission...Hoping Nandon would be with them she ran as fast as she could towards the walls holding the small dragon she then got to the walls and exited through the gate running over to where the rider was she looked up at him "Where did you find this captive at? Do you know where Nandon is?" She asked hopefully.

Vaentr took in the scene as he arrived behind the much younger dragon. It was strange being here when they were captives yet Vaentr allowed himself to land behind the rider, Zander. Hopefully the other rider nandon would arrive soon.
Brenton saw the crowd and immediately grew worried as they were landing. Nandon hadn't arrived yet and the crowd was already there. This was exactly as he had feared. It would be interesting when they all realized that he was not actually bound to the king anymore.

Zander watched the crowd and was stunned to see a girl run up. Her words were vaguely worrying yet the name Astraeae was familiar. I am sure that Nandon is on his way back now. The fight that we were in was short and we won. Nandon fought bravely and our captive fought for us to win. It was his decision to be our captive and he is soon arriving. Suddenly great gasps of fear rose and the wind started to stir. Zander looked up and saw Vaentr landing behind him. No one worry, this is our captive and he is here of good faith. I will not allow him to injure anyone, and since he defended me, I will fight for his life. This is Brenton, son of Islanzadi, and he is our friend. His actions were what saved the captive rider Nandon. I say that we should all give him our thanks.

Astreae's POV
"What!?!?!? How did Nandon get taken captive???" She asked quickly looking around...her eyes fell on the captive elf and looked at him with almost disdain for a moment before she hid her true feelings behind a poker face...
Nandons POV
nandon clopped up slowly on the horse... tired and sleepy he had tried to keep up with the dragons but he had failed...He had just now reached the varden and he looked around there was a crowd and he muttered a curse...He had no time to answer questions and he was in no state to do it ether...walking off towards glaeran and zander he stood and was almost tackled out of the saddle by Astreae "NANDON! Dont you ever worry me like that again! This dragon was a hadfull!" She said hugging him yet angery at the saem time "jeez...Astreae calm down... Your making a scene...We can talk later..." Nandon said and looked at brenton and smiled before speaking loudly "This elf saved my life...and allowed me to escape...No harm is to come to him Or I shall see to it you have latreens duty for the next month!" Nandon yelled

Brenton groaned as he heard everyone start to raise their voices in disdain and anger. Obviously they had a right to be upset but really? He hadn't even been in the war with the Belatona breach and the capture of the elven woman and Nandon. So as he sat astride Vaentr, Brenton wondered if things were to ever be the same, since he was now no longer an Empire slave and had been taken to the Varden. As far as he knew, he would be one of the oldest riders in the camp. Yet Brenton had to make it past these warriors first. So the rider raised his hands to just below his waist and snapped the wooden manacles that held him captive. If he was to convince these people of his true faith, then he needed to be able to be on the ground. Brenton used the Ancient Language and raised himself off of Vaentr and lowered down to the hardened earth below. Now that he was there, it should be simple to stand and allow them to see him. Suddenly several swords were drawn and a few bow strings were stretched taut. This was exactly what he had expected but it didn't help that there were also spears pointing at his heart and head. I am not an enemy to you. For as they introduced me, I am more to you than just that. I am the son of Islanzadi and the brother of Arya. My full name is Prince Brenton Bromsson, heir apparent to the throne in Du Weldenvarde. If anything were to happen to my sister, I would take the throne in her stead. Brenton allowed that to sink in and then shouts of disbelief echoed out. Finally he continued. I am also the brother of your greatest rider, the one who has defended you in every fight there was. I am the brother of Eragon Bromsson, rider and Shadeslayer. Your friends and allies know him and they know Arya. I am their brother and that makes me your ally.

Zander didn't really know how to explain to the she-elf that he didn't know how Nandon had been captured. All he knew was that his trip to save Rhaxta had led him to the fight to save the elf. So all he could do was tell the truth. I don't know how Nandon had been captured. I was on my way to find another captive when I ran across his captor fighting Brenton to recapture Nandon. So it is Brenton that you should thank for his survival from the cells in Helgrind. Zander glanced over at his friend and ally. It was great to be able to help them save someone. Yet he didn't know how to hold his head high if he couldn't tell someone how their family was capture in order to be saved.
