ExA. First Fanfic. This isn't what I think will happen in Book 4 I just wanted to write a EragonxArya fic because they are my favourite pairing and I think they are awesome together. Some of the characters may be OOC.
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING OF THE INHERITANCE CYCLE. CP DOES.
3 weeks had passed since the Varden took Feinster. Eragon was in his tent lying on his small bed.
"What do you think will happen next?" Asked Eragon.
"I know not, little one, but I assume Nasuada will be making plans for taking Belatona. We need to continue to attack so the Empire will weaken." Replied Saphira.
Eragon sighed deeply and said, "Does the fighting ever stop? I wish the war was over."
"We all do Eragon and it will end one day but until then we must fight."
"I know, but that doesn't mean I like it." Said Eragon.
There conversation was then interrupted by a voice calling Eragon's name. He opened the tent flap to find Arya there. "Eragon, Saphira." She greeted them. "Nasuada is holding a meeting and requests that you both be there."
"Of course. Just a second." Said Eragon and ducked back into his tent, coming out with Brisingr buckled on his belt.
The three of them walked in silence. Eragon kept snatching glances at Arya . He still loved her and could not help but think back to the night of the siege where he held her in his arms.
He saw her a few times since but neither said anything about it.
They had reached Nasuada's red pavilion but Eragon hadn't noticed, his thoughts still on the fair elf.
"Focus Eragon." Saphira's voice rang in his mind.
"I was." replied Eragon defensively as they entered the large tent.
"Yes….on Arya." Eragon scowled at the dragon but she only laughed.
Nasuada and the coucil were seated at a large table. Eragon and Arya took their seats and Nasuada opened the meeting.
"It has been weeks since we took Feinster and I believe it is time to begin planning our next operation: We must attack Belatona." She said with authority in her voice. This brought nods and agreements from the council. Nasuada continued, "It will, however, be more difficult than Feinster. Belatona is a well-built city with strong defences and trained soldiers to protect. This is why I think we should send someone to scout out the city and report any possible weaknesses in the city that we can use to our advantage. It is vital that we take Belatona with the least amount of losses as possible."
"That is a good idea, but who shall we send? They must be stealthy, strong and able to get away quickly if something goes wrong." Said Jormundor.
"I agree. That is why I think Eragon and Arya should go. They are excellent fighters and have magic at their disposal if it is needed. What are your thoughts?" she directed her question at Eragon and Arya.
"I am willing to go if Eragon agrees." Answered Arya, her face masking her emotions.
"What do you think Saphira?" asked Eragon.
"You know I don't like being away from you, and the decision is yours, but I think this is important for the Varden." She replied.
Finally, Eragon answered, "I will go." Relief swept through the council and Nasuada seemed pleased.
"Good. When do you think you will be leaving?" she asked.
It was Arya who answered this time, "There is no point wasting time so I suggest leaving soon. Tomorrow at dawn, if Eragon has no objections." She looked at Eragon, awaiting his answer.
"I agree. Tomorrow at dawn." At that, the meeting was dismissed and Eragon left to pack for his upcoming mission.
It's a short chapter, just to get the story rolling. They will get longer as the story progresses. Tell me what you think so far.
