Imperfect

by Jarlaxle Baenre

Galbatorix is defeated, and has been for several years. And Eragon has a daughter and a wife who is NOT Arya because I hate the AryaEragon romance. Oneshot poem.

I look down,

See your tiny hands,

Feel your tiny eyes on my face,

Trusting so blindly

But having no other choice.

Like I did

So long ago.

My world was perfect.

It would always be the same.

I was immortal

I would never grow old.

No worries crossed my mind

I was still a child.

And then she came into my life

She changed everything.

My home was destroyed,

My uncle dead,

My cousin hated me.

And I?

Off to battle a world

I knew nothing about.

I watched my friends

Die around me

First Brom

Then Murtagh

Then Arya.

The world crumbled

And I discovered

That all is not perfect

And I met him

And I discovered

The power of evil.

Ignorance is bliss

Stay ignorant,

My daughter.

Be young as long as you can.

Though in this world of hate

I know not how.
