Arya's POV
I leave Nasuada's tent, walking off to my own. I still need to contact Saphira and I require the privacy of my tent to cast the spell. Walking over to an empty basin in my tent, I fill it with water and mutter,"Draumr kopa," as well as a few other words to allow two-way contact. I then fix the image of Saphira into my mind and her image fills the water. She is flying against a white background, so she must be flying away from the roads since I know all of them. Her eyes widen when she senses my presence in her mind. I ask her to fill me in on Eragon's condition. She complies and begins describing their battle with the Ra'zac. Though she tries to speak in a monotone, simply conveying information, I can tell her rage at the Ra'zac as well as her concern for Eragon. With a slight smile, I realize that she is also relieved that it is I who will be going to look for him.
I am about to release the magic when the ground beneath name turns into a black void and I fall from the chasm. My last feeling is Saphira's shock and her concern for me. It warms my heart to know that she cares so deeply for me, as I know I do so for her.
A/N:
The spell Arya used is a spell I invented. It doesn't really exist in the Inheritance Cycle. I was too lazy to try to piece up an actual Ancient Language phrase for it, though. Sorry about that.
Anyway, it is basically to project the mind of the scryer into the mind of the scryed by the use of their image. The reflective surface is just their to help to see the scryed and to focus.
