Nanny Ogg & the Ancient Language
by BlakEyePea
Summary: Alagaesia meets Nanny Ogg. She may be the first to break all their rules.
Lamedisc: The invention of the ancient language was done by Christopher Paolini, and Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Magrat Garlick were made by Terry Pratchett. I am simply plagiarizing them for my own purposes.
The Elvish language is a tricky one. Their language makes it impossible to lie, or to put it better, impossible to say something you know to be untrue. This makes Elves some of the best liars in the world. It is so tempting to lie when you have a language that doesn't allow you to.1 Unfortunately Eragon, when dealing with the elves, never learned their phrase for "give me a straight answer."
Right now a the statement that you can't tell a lie in the ancient language is going to be put to the test.
One woman is going to test it.
1 It is not clear if this includes such things as sarcasm and exaggeration. it also makes you wonder how they get along with each other, as you can't say such things as "I like your shirt," when their shirt looks awful on them.
A/N: This is an idea I've had in my mind for quite some time now. I'm loving writing it! Oh, yeah, reviews in the forms of loveletters, concrit, & flames would all be appreciated.
