Inheritance cycle fanfiction
I think the characters deserve a good ending, so this is my idea of how Inheritance cycle could have ended.
Part 1
Saphira watched as her little one went to bed after yet another long day. His eyes were, as usual, filled with loss, misery and bitterness. It pained her to see him like this, but what could she do? This was part of his choice, and Eragon had known that when making his decision. Still, she knew all too well who else to blame for the deep sorrow that had taken root in her rider.
Saphira only hoped she wouldn't grow bitter, like Eragon had.
Eragon, tired after another day of educating his novices, the new-born dragons and their riders, said his usual 'goodnight' to Saphira and went to bed. How his dragon still managed to put up with him, he had no idea. They both knew what would happen next. It, the nightmare, or dream, depending on which turn it would take, would visit him this night just as it had the night before. And the night before that, and the night before that.
Exactly as it had for the past thirty years.
In his sleep, he would see her. Sometimes she was a nightmare, battling him as they used to, but aiming to kill this time. Other times she was good dream, whispering loving words into his ear. Waking up from such sweet dreams ended in disappointment and pain.
He'd rather have nightmares about her.
Eragon sighed as he laid down on the bed.
"Which is it going to be tonight, Arya?" he whispered, then fell asleep.
