Title: Always

Summary: She is real and alive again.

A/N: Not sure what this little piece of flash fiction came from. Maybe to prove to ya all I'm still alive! My next chapter of DreamScape (Hollows FF) will be up shortly, I'm just working out the kinks. Really want to write an Inheritance FF after I'm done with DreamScape. Anyone got any brilliant ideas to share?


"Eragon," she whispers and he turns to her. He knows it can't be for he saw her die, held her body as her life left her. He had been powerless to stop it. To weak. "Eragon," she says again and he believes.

She is real and alive again.

He stands and reaches to touch her. She is no ghost; he can feel warmth coming from her.

She smiles and it's beautiful.

"Arya," he murmurs. For a moment his hand touches her cheek.

Then she becomes smoke, nothingness, and fades away.

She always fades away.

"Wake up, brother," Murtagh says as he shakes Eragon. "We have a king to kill."
