Bother

Eragon sits alone in his tree house in Ellesmera; looking into the sky at the beautiful blue dragoness that was circling around the crimson red dragon that was her mate. Ever since they had become mates Eragon did not exist in her world. They had not even talked for months. He lowered his head in silence.

Wish I was too dead to cry

My self-affliction fades

Eragon had believed he was a beast of burden to Saphira; His thoughts keeping her from fully enjoying her new life. He planned to leave later that day, and leave her to her now content life with Thorn. No goodbyes; no farewells; nothing to keep him tethered to his old life.

Stones to throw at my creator

Masochists to which I cater

Eragon looked back to the sky to see it was void of any life- let alone two dragons. He stood from his spot on the floor and began to gather his things for his belongings for his departure. A single tear slowly slid down his cheek. Eragon turned and saw Saphira standing in the doorway.

What are you doing, little one? She cocked her head at him. He gave a very feint smile. Her voice was so gentle and loving. He had waited for so long to hear it again, and now he knew he may never hear it again.

Oh, nothing, he lied, just packing for a trip.

Where are we going?

Not we Saphira, me.

Why are you leaving?

No reason, just a trip. He looked into her eyes; her radiant blue irises looking into his very soul. He didn't want to leave her behind, but he believed it was best for her to live her life uninterrupted by his mental presence.

You don't need to bother

I don't need to be.

I'll keep slipping farther

But once I hold on,

I won't let go 'til it bleeds.

I still do not understand why you must go alone, Saphira explained

It is something I must do; Eragon said holding her snout in his hands, and looking into her eyes, for both our sakes. He tried to leave but was blocked by Saphira's wing. She lowered her head and gently nudged his side.

Little one, you and I both know that I will never allow you to leave my sight.

Than what about these past few months, He screamed at her, he turned and forced his way past Saphira's wing. She followed him closely.

Wish I was too dead to care

If indeed I cared at all

Little one, something larger is bothering you and I wish to know what it is, she reached her neck around Eragon and blocked his advance, now tell me what troubles you.

I want to tell you Saphira, He said looking at his feet, you know I do but, I just can't.

Why ever not?

Before Eragon could speak, Thorn flew in and walked over to Saphira. He gently nuzzled her neck, and allowed her to lean up against his body.

What is taking so long, my mate, Thorn asked soothingly, you said you would only take a minute. Eragon walked out without a word.

Never had a voice to protest

So you fed me shit to digest

Saphira broke from Thorn's grasp and chased after him. She burst from the dwelling and saw Eragon heading for the edge of the forest.

Eragon, She called out. Eragon turned and looked at her. Her confusion was mixed with sadness, and Eragon felt another tear slip down his face.

I wish I had a reason

My flaws are open season

For this, I gave up trying

One good turn deserves my dying

You don't need to bother

I don't need to be

I'll keep slipping farther

But once I hold on,

I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Eragon please answer me. Eragon tuned around. He could not bear to look in her eyes. The sadness portrayed in them was just too much to bear.

I am leaving you and Thorn to live out your lives in peace. Eragon said. He waited for her to scold him for leaving for something so foolish but she never did.

Eragon, there is no need to leave for that.

I want you to live out you life without interruption from my emotions or problems, Eragon explained, I don't want you to think that you need to carry all of my burdens on your shoulders. That is why I am leaving. To make sure you live like a normal dragon in your position should.

Wish I'd died instead of lived

A zombie hides my face

Shell forgotten with its memories

Diaries left with cryptic entries

Eragon you don't have to leave, She pleaded, your life is of no burden to me.

You say that, Eragon replied, but do you really mean it?

You don't need to bother

I don't need to be

I'll keep slipping farther

But once I hold on

I won't let go 'til It bleeds

Saphira remained silent, Eragon's question shocked her. Tears began to fill her eyes as his last words escaped his mouth, Please don't follow me, Goodbye Saphira, and he walked out of sight. Saphira fell to the ground sobbing. A light rain began to fall around her. Her tears were concealed by the torrent of rain that soaked the grass and muddied the ground. Thorn walked up to her and lay beside her.

Eragon trudged through the muddy ground and he burst into tears when he heard the grievous cry of his dragon. He looked back at the elven city one last time, If fate brings it about we will see each other again Saphira, and if not, I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive me.

You don't need to bother

I don't need to be

I'll keep slipping farther

But once I hold on

I'll never live down my deceit
