The Dawn of Hope

(Intentional misspelling in this chapter because they are drunk...)

The Drunken Days.

Why did they have to die? Why Saphira? Why? It shouldn't have happened, it's all my fault! Eragon said sullenly.

No it isn't Eragon. Don't blame yourself. Saphira said with a tint of sadness and remorse in her voice.

But I shall! It is my fault! Don't try and convince me otherwise! My heart tells me it is, and I listen to my heart from now on.

Fine then. Just don't be angry at yourself to long. It saddens me when you do.

Fine. Eragon said and shut off the connection.

"Hey Eragon!" A voice yelled from about twenty or so meters away. It was Roran. "We are going to celebrate the victory at a nearby tavern called the Skampy Raven. Would you like to come?" He asked. I noticed Horst, Albriech, and Baldor at his sides, and thought quickly about it. It would take his mind off his masters, so why not? What's the worst that could happen? Him getting a little drunk and having to face Saphira's anger, but besides that, this would be fun.

"Sure, this will be a lot of fun! Let's go!" Eragon said jumping up with a spring in his step.

"Cool. It's right up here. Let's go!" He said and started jogging.

As soon as they walked in Eragon saw Arya nearby. He walked over after saying, "I'll see you tomorrow." to Roran, and sat next to her and said "Hey, how are you Arya?"

"Why I feel incredibly sad. After my father's death, than Faolin's, than Oromis' and Glaedr's. It is really a hard time for me. So I came here to celebrate and have a good time. Maybe get drunk... I don't really know."

"Oh? Me too. Why don't we do that together?"

"What difference does does it make? It's still getting drunk."

"Well I just thought it would be fun to do it with a friend."

"True, alright let's see who can drink more. Want to?"

"Ahh, why not. It'll be fun. Let's make a little wager though. How about the winner gets, ummm, to challenge the other to any kind of match be it sparring, mental, drawing, poetry, or anything you want. Okay?"

"Sure. Let's go."

And for the next ten hours they started drinking as much as possible trying to win the bet, and trying to drown there troubles in alcoholic beverages. Than the owner of the pub said there was to be open karaoke night, and whoever wanted could just walk up and sing. So for a few more hours they watched people sing, than Eragon said, "You know -hic- what? I am going to -hic- go and try to -hic- do the singing thing." With that he walked on stage swerving a lot in his severely drunken swagger.

When he got up there he shouted, "Hellooooooooo everybody! I am -hic- Eragon Shade -hic- Slayer and I am going to be singin' for y'all one of meh favorite songs! Dedicated to Miss Arya -hic- Shadeslayer!" He said looking at her in his drunken daze. "The song is called -hic- Senorita!" Roars of applaud came from the crowd in the pub.

Eragon why are you doing this? Saphira asked a little sadly.

Doing what -hic- your highness? I responded.

Singing a song in a drunken state to a huge crowd in a packed-full pub.

Why not? It's funnnn!

Because you will look stupid.

I don't care. I always look stupid. One more time won't hurt.

Fine then, screw yourself. I don't care anymore.

Thanks Saphy. Bye bye!

"Okay now, let's -hic- go!

Ladies and gentlemen

On that sunny day
Didn't know I'd meet
Such a beautiful girl walkin' down the street
Seen those bright brown eyes
With tears comin' down (so he said to himself)
She deserves a crown
But where is it now
Momma listen

Senorita I feel for you
You deal with things that you don't have to
He doesn't love you I can tell by his charm
But you can feel this real love if you just lay in my

You drivin fast in my mind
Girl don't cha' slow it down
If we carry on this way the same we might leave the ground
How would you like to fly
That's how my queen should ride
But you still deserve the crown
Why hasn't it been found

Senorita I feel for you
You deal with things that you don't have to
He doesn't love you I can tell by his charm
But you can feel this real love if you just lay in my
Ahhh, Ahhh, Arms (Wont you lay in my)
Ahhh, Ahhh, Arms (Momma lay in my)
Ahhh, Ahhh, Arms (Baby wontcha lay in my)
Ahhh, Ahhh, Arms

When I look into your eyes

I see sumthin' that money can't buy
And I know if you give us a try
I'll work harder for you girl
and no longer will you ever have to
CRY!

(Chorus)
Senorita I feel for you
You deal with things that you don't have to
He doesn't love you I can tell by his charm
But you can feel this real love if you just lay in my
Ahhh, Ahhh, Arms
Ahhh, Ahhh, Arms
Ahhh, Ahhh, Arms
Ahhh, Ahhh, Arms

When I look into your eyes
I see sumthin' that money can't buy
And I know if you give us a try
I'll work harder for you girl
You wont ever cry

Now listen
I wanna' try sumthin' right now
See they don't do this anymore
I'ma sing sumthin'
and I want the guys to sing with me
they go

It feels like sumthins heatin up
can leave wit you
and then the ladies go
