The Last Night
Saphira had been depressed ever since Thorn was killed. She hadn't moved for over a month. She was starving herself, and she couldn't live on knowing that the dragon race was going to be extinguished and there was nothing she could do about it. Eragon was hiding outside the cave where his dragon was sulking. He could hear the blue dragoness, saying something along the lines of 'I'm sick of this; I'm ending it now.' Eragon looked in and saw her had her claws up against her neck; ready to deliver the fatal blow that would end the dragon race. Eragon raced in and grabbed her paw just before she was about to kill herself.
"Saphira, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"
I'm the last dragon on the planet I might as well just end it now and save myself the grief of an eternity, She replied.
"As long as I am breathing, you are to live as well."
You come to me with scars on your wrist
You tell me this will be the last night
feeling like this
You don't understand what it is like to be in my position Eragon, She shot back with tears in her eyes.
I just came to say goodbye
Didn't want you to see me cry
I'm fine
"Saphira, I don't care if the world literally falls apart around you, unless I am already gone we will die together, and I am not ready to die yet"
But I know it's a lie,
This is the last night you spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
"Plus there is no way I can live without you," Eragon continued, "I have been with you, and you with me, ever since you hatched, if you leave I will feel as if I have lost Roran again, without you; I have nobody left."
The last night you spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be
Eragon, I know, she started, but there is still nothing to save me or my race. There is no reason left for me to live.
"You may be the last but wouldn't you like to let the dragons end on better terms than suicide?"
Everybody says everything is your fault
But they don't know you like I know you
They don't know you at all
"You may think you have no reason to live but you still have me," Eragon started, "Everyone back at the Varden is telling me that this is just a bump in the road and you will recover but if I had listened you'd be dead right now."
So sick of when they say
This is just a phase she'll be okay
She's fine
Eragon, why must you make me endure this torture, I just want t die, why can't you just let me go?
"If you leave then I will follow, Did you not hear me when I said you are all I have left in this world."
But I know it's a lie,
This is the last night you spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you need me to be
The last night you spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be
The last night away from me…
Eragon, she started, I just realized that you are the only person in my life that has ever shown any real compassion. Thorn was a jerk and Shruiken was just a coward I don't need either of them to be happy
The night is so long when
Everything's wrong if
You give me your hand I will
Help you hold on
Tonight…
Tonight…
"Saphira, that was not the only reason I came here." He reached into his knapsack and pulled out a green dragon egg. Saphira shrieked with joy
I can't believe you were able to save him
"This is the last night you'll spend alone, Saphira," the egg then hatched in Eragon's hand and another bond was made between him and the green dragon.
This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll hold you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be
The green hatchling laid itself against Saphira's forearm and fell asleep in her grasp. Eragon smiled at the sight and looked back at the now content dragoness and smiled. No longer would she feel the pain of loneliness.
I won't let you say goodbye
And I'll be your reason why
The last night away from me…
Away from me.
Eragon and Saphira laughed aloud as the hatchling finished his song through a hardy yawn
Werent expecting that now were you?
