New fan fiction I hope you enjoy
I stood there on the shores of Alagaesia where a ship stood waiting to carry me, my dragon Saphira, and the dragon eggs across the sea where Saphira a I
would train the next generation of riders to come. I stood next to Arya looking into her deep green eyes. "come with me." I said more asking then telling
her to come but I hopped she would but in her eyes there was a sadness as she said "I cannot I am sorry." I just nodded and said goodbye then I bid
farewell to my cousin Roran, his wife Katrina, and their newborn daughter Ismira. I boarded the ship looked back at my friends and my family one last time
as the ship sailed away. an hour into the voyage I was talking to Saphira "You know Saphira we will have our hands full with all the new riders we'll have to
train." "Yes we will but at least we have the elves who came to help us." I nodded mentally as my thoughts returned to Aria. After a few minutes I left
another mind pressed against mine. I threw up my mental shield focusing on my feelings for Aria, to keep my mental armor intact. Then I noticed then that
it was Arya who was pressing on my mind. I let down the walls around my mind and asked "Arya what are you doing here?" "I will explain everything when
we land just make room for us on the boat." There was a happiness in her thoughts I could not understand. Then not twenty seconds later Aria's dragon
FĂrnen dove out of the clouds with a happy roar which Saphira returned all I could do was smile. Falin landed on the boat but Aria surprised me by running
down his right foreleg and throwing her arms around my neck. I laughed a little as I asked "Arya what are you doing here?" She withdrew her arms then
blushing replied "I am sorry I should probably explain my outburst. It took me all of two second after you rounded that corner on this boat and about half
an hour to put my affairs in order. After I set my affairs I followed you. The reason I did was because after you rounded that corner a damn broke in my
heart all the feelings I had berried came flooding back through me. I guess what I am trying to say Eragon is that you are the only man for me." she
paused for a second then said " I guess what I am asking for is another chance." I looked at her hardly believing what I was hearing. As she looked at me
with a hopeful expression on her face. I smiled at her as I said "Arya do you even need to ask you were and still are the only women in this world for me."
She smiled I could see the tears brimming her eyes but these were tears of happiness not pain like have seen in her eyes so many time. Aria threw her
arms around my neck again with a happy exclamation as she held her grip that would have crushed a normal humans windpipe as I embraced her back just
as tightly as I said in her ear "I am glad you came with me. I am glad I did not have to leave you behind as well." Then I noticed another mind on the ship
that I knew well, I just did not know how she got on the boat without being noticed. "I guess she could given the fact she snuck into a army camp
poisoning everything that she could to help our side beat them easier so it stands to reason." I laughed and said to Arya" Angela is on the boat." Arya
looked at me with a confused look and asked "I never saw her get on the boat how could she have gotten on the boat without anyone noticing her?" "I
think she snuck in just like how she snuck into Galbatorix's army camp and poisoned so many without getting caught she has her ways." I paused then said
"Maybe we should go and talk to her ourselves because if she is on this boat that means she knows that something interesting is about to happen on our
journey so let us go and talk to her." Arya just nodded. We walked all the way down to the haul of the ship before we found Angela in a little corner of the
room she had her knuckle bones of a dragon splayed on a upturned bucket. We watched her for a moment then I strode over to her saying "Hello Angela I
am a little surprised to see you here." I waited for an answer but she did not answer at first so I resigned myself to wait, while doing so I could not help but
remember that I used to do the same thing with Ormois before Galbatorix killed him. After about five minutes of silence Angela looked up at both me and
Aria and then said to me "Well Eragon I am glad to see you are well, did I not predict this would happen?" I smiled and said "You know you did Angela."
that is when Angela's face got a little annoyed as she said "Well I read them again and only one thing has changed." I was now very intrigued but confused
at the same time as I asked "What has changed Angela?" Angela shook her head her bronze curls spun around her face like a impending storm then she
said "What has changed is that you will return to Alagaesia again twice a year once to bring back the newly trained riders and another to get the new riders
and visit with your cousin his family and your half brother Murtagh. So I guess you will be going back to see your cousin again and your friends and anyone
else you wish to see because your visits may be long or short depending on the time." I smiled at thoughts of seeing Roran and Katrina again and being
able to be there for some of Ismira's birthdays and also seeing Murtagh again to see how he was getting along in life now that he was free to do as he
wished with his life and not be enslaved. I twisted my hand in front of my sternum in the elves gesture of respect and said in the ancient language "Thank
you Angela-elda it is good to know I can go back someday." She bowed her head back I was glad she was not talking in riddles as she usually does but I
knew it would not last. After a few minutes I thought of something and I looked at Angela and asked "Angela will you be staying with us when we get to
where we are going or will you return to Alagaesia?" "You know me I will be where ever the most interesting things are going to happen and if that means
going and staying across the sea than so be it." I nodded in understanding. after thirty minutes of talking with Angela in the cramped cargo hold Arya and I
bid Angela good night and headed back up to the deck of the ship. Once there I looked at the darkening sky and I could see the north star was already out.
It had been a long day for both Arya and myself so I turned to Arya and said "Well it had been a long day I think we should both get some rest and since
you do not have any courters on the ship as your own you are welcome to share mine I will take the floor while you can have the bed. Arya looked at me
with deep green eyes of hers as she said "Eragon you do not have to do that I would not mind if we shared the bed." I was taken aback by her offer she
would never had said that before but before we were no more than friends now we were a couple so I guess it was not hard to understand but it still
shocked me at how much Arya had changed over the last four days since we had killed Galbatorix. I nodded to her and lead her to my courters and then
we laid down together in the bed that was big enough to fit both of us comfortably and we both drifted of into our waking dreams.
