Hey everybody this is my first story so please go easy on me.

Disclaimer: i do not own any thing of the inheritance cycle. Chris does...d***



A man was sitting on the wall of Feinster looking at the setting sun. The man was none other than the great Eragon Shadeslayer. Beside a great mass moved. This was Saphira Bjartskular. Eragon was hardly aware of the elfish princess beside him. His eyes were red rimmed and glossy, but he was not crying. in his hand he held a small gold crystal, almost glowing by its own accord.

"Why" was all he said. Arya, for the first time since sitting down said:

"It would seem that wyrda is conspiring against us."

It would seem so, murmured Saphira but there is nothing we can do about it. We should celebrate their lives and not mourn their deaths.

"Aye, but it is still hard to believe that they're dead." sighing Eragon got up. he held a hand down to Arya, and, to his surprise, took it and heaved herself up. Eragon turned around in time to see Joshua running up the stairs to him.

He said "Nasauda requires your and Brightscales presence. And yours to Arya Drottingu."

" Thank you Joshua, I shall be there soon." He nodded his head and ran off. As Eragon and Arya were walking down the stairs, Eragon whispered to Arya, "It looks like word has traveled that you are the elf princess. This will be interesting."

In spite of resent happenings, Saphira chuckled and said Aye, but will be entertaining.

Arya smiled and said "What is entertaining to you is usually cruel or embarrassing to others."

But that's the fun part. I think it is funny seeing all of you getting embarrassed so easily. Especially this one here. She pointed one claw at Eragon. You should have heard what was going through his mind when you hugged him before it calmed down.

"I do wish to know what was going through your mind." and she nudged him playfully. Ever since their journey back to the Varden after the Helengrind , Arya has been much more loose and not as stoic.

"Hey, what happened in my mind stays in my mind. Saphira, you're not going to tell her anything." said Eragon.

No promise... "Saphiraa!!" Alright, alright I won't say anything, little one. she said while chuckling.

"Good. Now where exactly did Nasauda set up her conference room?" questioned Eragon.

"Uhh.. I would think it would be up in the keep where Varaug was." She sort of chocked out the last part. on Varaug. "It is also the only place where Saphira can get in. I am pretty sure that even Gleadr could have fit into that hole you blew out of the keep." Then her smile dissipated when she remembered the fate of Oromis and Gleadr.

Eragon came over and put an arm around her waist as if to support her.


So how did I do for a first? reviews are welcome!
