I glare, angry with Eragon. I had only tried to save his life, would he rather have died? Would he have given himself to the Raz'ak to attempt to save his uncle?

He doesn't understand. He is but a boy; too young and inexperienced to understand the danger he would have put all of Alegasia in had he done that.

Eragon, he won't listen to me, and now he has cast me away. He'd come to his senses soon enough.

Should he fall victim to Durza, he will now survive.

I shall watch over him 'til he does recover from the loss and grief, and 'til he calls me back.
