----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the war on the Burning Plains, Arya, Eragon-shadeslayer, along with other leaders was resting after the long fight that occurred.
Arya was in Nasuada's formal tent talking not only of what has occurred but also of the future plans. They were unsure of what might and will happen to the new rider.
"What of now?" Asked Nasuada seated in front of a temporary desk on the left side of the tent.
"I'm uncertain, but I'm sure queen Isanzadi would want Eragon to finish his training."
Arya paced around the room uncomfortably, while Nasuada pondered something that might help. Nasuada cupped her chin with a graceful hand and held her elbow thinking most strictly.
"You are right Arya, Eragon should finish his studies…I hope we are safe in Orrin hands," said Nasuada letting worry take its toll on her.
Shortly after a teenager no older than seventeen came in closing the flap behind him, taking two steps he bowed and cleared his throat as Arya and Nasuada waited for him to say what was needed.
"My lady Nasuada, rider Eragon left with sir Roran."
Arya and Nasuada eyes lit up after hearing the news, Nasuada belted on her dagger and left while Arya trailed behind. Once outside the tent the servant turned to her and Nasuada dismissed him, Nasuada turned to Arya.
"Find them, if they aren't there come to me."
At the last words Arya turned on her heels and ran as fast as her elven legs allowed her, She dodged soldiers and half-lit tents with soldiers going to sleep or tying to. After reaching the tent Eragon was assigned to Arya flung open the flag hoping on finding them, only to find it was bare expect for the beds and a low-lit lamp in the middle with a bowl of water on Eragon's bed with the saddlebags still lying against the canvas.
"Eragon…" mumbled Arya.
At that Arya turned and fled toward Nasuada's tent, when she reached it was still the same was as before expect something was out of place, Nasuada was not there no one was in a 1-mile radius.
Arya cursed in the ancient language and looked around, only to find Orik walking up with a mug of mead and dunk for is stride is off. Arya walked up to him and held the dwarf by the shoulders and looked at him in the eyes though he never met hers she knew that he was drunk and might fall over, for he usually never gets drunk.
"'et off me elf." Cried Orik in his drunken state.
"Have you seen the rider?" asked Arya worried.
"Shade-…Slay…er…" Said Orik as he fell over unconscious.
Arya looked he fell over an a bunch of his clan dwarfs came over and picked him up laughing in their gruff voices and took him off to his tent, she looked up at the sky to see nightfall is coming. The elf looked around the resting grounds for a sign of Saphira, but if there were none to be found with her eyes. When she turned around she was face to face with Nasuada. Who noticed a single tear on Arya cheek, It shocked Nasuada and her guards as they were dumbstruck. Arya turned her head and wiped the tear away and looked away and wiped the tear on her shirt and was a bit embarrassed at the look that Nasuada got.
"An crying elf, never before in my life have I seen one." Said Nasuada with sympathy, and walked into the tent with Arya while servants came in and warmed up the tent.
The guards guarded the tent and closed the flap after everyone has gotten through, Arya paced the room again and stopped. Nasuada was on the right getting her amour removed by her personal servant.
"Did you see Eragon?" asked Nasuada curiously.
"No" said Arya in a deep sign.
Nasuada walked over to Arya once her amour was off and put a hand on her shoulder and looked at Arya's somber brown eyes and saw that not only was she mad but she was a bit saddened too, so to cheer her up Nasuada smiled a pretty smile.
"What now?"
"I…I don't know," said Arya who looked like she was about to collapse from the events happening around her.
As Arya looked down at her boots Nausada sat down on a chair and looked at the elf in wonder then looked down at her lap. Nasuada, from the looks of it was a bit uncomfortable in the silence but she did not let it get to her. Arya squatted toward then ground and studied it looking for an answer that might appear or an idea would pop up in her head.
Nasauada's POVNasuada studied the elf from her seat and wondered why she was acting the was she was acting, she was not like this in Tronjheim or in any other place that Nasuada had seen her in.
'Why is she acting the way she is? Does she like Eragon? Or is she worried about his safety? This is truly odd for an elf to almost cry but why did she? Can elves show emotion? Or do they hid because they are afraid to show it?'
She watched the elf as she stood and looked at Nasuada waiting for any answer or a request Nasuada might come up with or has. Nasuada was dumbstruck at the new emotion Arya showed so quickly in at lest the 3 minutes, by the sudden change did alter the feeling in the room Nasuada withdrew and sat up straighter and cleared her throat.
"This is grave news, I have a feeling that Eragon didn't abandon us for the Empire. Though after the recent events I have learned that about Murtaugh, but I believe that Eragon can take care of himself. I do worry for his safety; He made a bad decision and he might have to pay for the consequences, though I believe I will not be rash on him."
As Nasuada said the last words Arya looked at her with a newfound strength and understanding in her words, as the moonlight was sitting over the Boer Mountains and Surda goes in to the dusk sunlight Arya bows to Nasuada and tells her of her plans and leaves the tent and leaves to go watch. She goes to her assigned tent and grabs her bow and quiver and walks over to a ledge that looks over the battlefield of the Burning Plains. As she sits down against a rock to wait for Eragon, then a lone soldier comes from the camp and Arya already her bow, strung and ready to shoot before his head ever appears over the other side.
Normal POV/ Arya's POV
He bows to the elf and says calmly,
"Lady Arya, I Corrigan have come to sit with you and watch for rider Eragon and sir Roran," He bows again and takes his position on the bottom part of the ledge and sits and waits.
Arya looks at the human with questions but deems not to ask them so she lowers her bow and stows it away and sits down again waiting…
As the dusk sun raises a lone small fire is set 3 leagues away and Arya stands in a hurry as the solider has fallen asleep yet again, Arya looked in the direction but could only see 2 ½ leagues away, an idea comes to Arya and she would reach out with her mind,
As she got to a familiar mind she asks "'Eragon? If you are there you must come back immediately for Lady Nasuada wants to have a word with you in private as would I…'"
She waited a bit…
"'Yes it is and I know...I'm sorry for the trouble I have caused but Roran-'"
He was cut off by something and Arya hears Saphira entered her mind by saying…
"'Little one, is being stubborn. He taking care of a woman the name I know not, but i belive Roran is in love with her…Eragon left to get her and I helped…I'm sorry Arya…We truly are.'"
Arya clutched her teeth in anger in distrust for he know Eragon would do something stupid for he always had since Arya had seen him, the solider woke with a start, he asked what happened and Arya shook her head in response. But when Corrigan saw the smoke he jumped up and readied his bow, only to see that Arya pushed it down shaking her head. He lowered it in question but he did not ask any. Arya walked and sat beside a rock.
At long last when Arya saw Saphira come over the ledge and land Arya saw Corrigan jump back in fear but he did not fall. As Saphira landed with Eragon, Roran, and a mysterious girl and with hurting her Eragon climbed down as Arya folded her arms and Eragon kew why. Roran jumped off Saphira as she turned her head and faced Roran then the girl sniffing her, Arya looked at Eragon with hot air shooting out of her nose, if she could she could have fire come out of her for she was so mad at him for his disobedience.
Then she studied the girl, Roran and Eragon; the girl is unconscious with bruises as big as Saphiras' scales, while Roran looked as Battle torn as Eragon but Eragon had a cuts and …and blood all over the clothes he wore from battle…the blood was dark red with a hint blue in it.
Arya studied the blood and looked at Eragon confused and she had to ask,
"Where did the blood come from?"
"Ra'zac," said Eragon shuffling his feet and looking down.
" I need help for Katrina!!" Cried Roran as he noticed her breathing is slower.
Saphira picked up Roran by the collar and put him on her back, while Arya tole Saphira where the healers ar located. As they took flight Arya and Eragon watched as Roran held on for dear life, for he was not use to flying yet.
Eragon opened his mouth to speak but Arya butted in,
"Eragon! You have not idea the madness you brought on Nasuada and me! What have you done? Did you know if the Empire caught you no one could save you? You are the first rider, we can not afford to leave you alone, you are a foolish rider…" she said from going mad to madder.
Eragon would have cried if not for his manhood but he forced it down in his effort to stay emotionless, but nonetheless he did a few words out,
"I know… but my cousins fiancé was in trouble and we had to not only avenged my fathers death but kill the Ra'zac. We had to save her-!"
He never got to finish his statement because Arya held up a hand to silence him and said,
"What?!" Her anger echoed over the vast plains.
Her anger subsided for a long while as she calmed her self down so she doesn't have to kill him, When she noticed the blood again and she looked up at him with wonder and a straight faced and asked him,
"Did you kill them? All?" As she avoided Eragons eyes.
After a while they were calm avoiding each others eyes and they didn't know what to say to one another. Arya just came up to him and cupped his chin as he looked at her with amazement as what she is doing…for she did not kiss him. He looked at her and she looked at him and she smiled a beautiful smile she could have, Eragon got butterflies in his stomach the look he gave her for he blushed back for his cheek were red as roses.
"Lady Nasuada wishes to speak with you, Eragon…as do I when she is finished."
Arya studied his face and he did him they did move since they started looking at one another.
Arya turned her head and then came up to him and kissed his right cheek, he almost wanted more but Arya stoped him with two fingers and shook her head. As she took a step back she looked at him, she blush a light cheery red.
Eragon blushed too and looked down but before he looked up she had her back to him and she uttered,
"Sè mor'ranr ono finna"
As she walked off with out another word, she wanted him to leave him pondering his thoughts. Arya move all her hair over her left shoulder and was standing on the other side of the ledge for she thought about what she did and what occurred; and thought if it was the right thing to do or if she should continue doing what she was doing.
'Should I have done that? Should I continue?' thought Arya .
She let the thoughts roam her mind when it finally faded she ran off and toward the castle just as Eragon was descending and Saphira was coming to his aid.
