Wipe away my tears.-1

Eragon thought back to his life as of late. He had just left with Aria and Saphira to gather medicines for the wounded shoulders after the battle. Aria was asleep and Saphira was off hunting for deer or stray horses. She would never eat anything that flew; to her it was dishonorable and believed that unless the creature was on the ground and could defend itself then she wouldn't kill it. Eragon laughed and lay down next to the blazing fire, taking off his glove he looked at the silver circle on his palm. The mark was only given to those who had touched a dragon hatchling. He smiled and remembered what Saphira had been like as a baby. Now only a year old she was huge with gigantic blue wings and beautiful blue scales. He felt the slumber tugging at his eyes and went to sleep; Saphira would be back soon, no use staying up.

Eragon was walking through a white forest, peaceful music was everywhere. He saw Aria walking a head of him. He smiled and ran to catch up with her as she rounded a bend. As he to rounded the curve he was met by an arrow barely missing his left ear.

The young Rider awoke with a start to a scream coming from the other edge of the camp. He sat bolt up right and went to grab his sword. Realizing it was strapped to Saphira he looked up to see Urgals surrounding Arya who was trying to fight them off. As if it was planned the Urgals in one fluid motion shoved there roughly cut spheres through the she-elf's body. With a last gasp Arya fell to the ground dead.

"NO!" Eragon shouted as though it would help. But in doing this he only got the Urgals attention.

To tired to use magic Eragon felt helpless. 'Where is Saphira?' Eragon thought to himself as he looked to the sky. A flash of red flew past him and the Urgals screeched in fear. He felt a pain shoot through his leg and looked down to find a spear had been thrust through him. Eyes blurry with tears he looked around the comp, Urgals were dropping dead everywhere. His vision began to cloud and the teenaged Rider became consumed by darkness.

Water was pouring down over the young Eragon as Garrow drenched him again with ice cold water. They had been watering the flowers when Garrow decided to have a bit of fun. Laughing with delight Eragon grabbed the horses troth and dumped it over Garrows head. He turned around to find the house in ruins and smoke and Garrow lying on the ground-

Eragon sat up with such speed that he immediately fell down again because his head felt like it was splitting in half. He groaned and lent up on his elbow.

"Oh you're awake, about bloody time. It's only been three days." A female voice carried through the disappearing fog in Eragon's vision.

"Where am I?" Eragon wondered out loud brushing a hand through his brown hair he sat up fully and saw a girl who looked to be about his own age, sixteen, or maybe a year younger. She was crouched over a fire and was cooking what looked to be four slabs of meat and four pieces of bread.

"You're where you were before in the same clearing but with different scenery. I cleaned up the Urgals, or rather Saphira and Fira ate them all. And well you've been sleeping for three days; you talk in your sleep a lot. Who's Garrow?" The girl said as she put two of the slabs of meet onto plate like objects along with the bread. "Here, eat. You need your strength." She handed him one of the plates and tossed the other rations to Saphira and another dragon Eragon assumed was the previous mention Fira who ate the meat without hesitation and sniffed at the bread with dissatisfaction.

"Eat it because you're not getting anything else. Silly dragons, all you eat is meat."

Eragon was now sitting up fully and eating he stopped as the girl brushed her hair behind her ears, the ears are what attracted Eragon the most, they pulled up into a neat point at the tip, she turned to face him and he gasped. She looked exactly like Arya only with slightly different features. Her jaw was sharper, her hair red and instead of two grey eyes she held one grey and one green. Her eyes were alert and haunted as though she'd seen to many things that a girl her age shouldn't have seen. She turned to Eragon and smiled, her smile not reaching her eyes.

"I m Assana, Arya's daughter." The girl said to Eragon as if she read his mind.

"I'm Eragon, you're Arya's daughter? What happened? Why did the Urgals come, how did that happen?" He spewed all out at once.

Assana laughed. "You forget you area Rider, The can sense your energy." She explained.

"Now what do you say we get going?"

Eragon tried to stand but a searing pain shot up his leg. He started to fall but Assana helped him steady himself. He thanked her and tried to walk again. He didn't fall but it hurt.

Saphira came over to him and pulled him up onto her back. Assana walked over to Fira and mounted her.

"So, you're an elf?" Eragon asked Assana once they had taken off and we're flying north.

"Not exactly," She replied "My mother, Arya, was an elf but my father was a human. So I'm a half blood. Not accepted into either colony. Neither of my parents wanted me, probably why Arya never mentioned me."

Eragon was taken aback, Arya not except someone?

"That's why I didn't care if she was killed or not I had been tracking her for days. I was going to kill Arya myself but then thought better of it; the night before I was going to leave the Urgals attacked you. I was just going to let her die but then I saw you and since you haven't done anything wrong I couldn't let you die." She finished and took a slight turn so they were heading west.

Eragon looked over to her and saw her eyes were rimmed with tears, one fell down her cheek. She quickly wiped it away.
