CHAPTER TWO:

Eragon's POV

When I woke the sun was streaming through the flap of my tent. I felt better than I had in a long time.

'Saphira?' I reached out my mind towards my dragon.

'Yes little one.' She lifted her head to look at me. I smiled it felt good to talk to someone instead of sulking. I got up out of my cot and went outside to see Saphira.

'So what should we do today?' I smiled up at her. It felt like I hadn't seen her for ages.

' well you do have sparing with Arya today, and by the way she stopped by a little while before you woke up and said to meet her at the sparing grounds when you woke up and for you to contact her when you woke up. After delivering Arya's message she returned to the position she had previously been in.

'Ok I'll do that now then....and Saphira.'

'Yes' She raised her head again.

I walked over to her and put my arms as far around her neck as I could and hugged her. 'Its nice to see you again.' I pulled back to look at her, how her scales sparkled in the sunlight.

She laughed 'Its good to see you to little one.' She nuzzled her snout to my back, her way of hugging me back. I turned to retrieve brisingr from my tent then started towards the sparing field waving as I left.

Arya's POV

I was standing around the edges of the sparing grounds waiting for Eragon, there where a few people fighting around the area but not many. I guessed that there were still many injured people.

I could feel someone trying to gain access of my mind and quickly threw up my barriers.

'Arya. Its me Eragon.' I opened my mind to him just enough so that I could speak with him.

I nodded in recognition even though I knew he couldn't see me.

'Good morning Eragon Shur'tugal.' I turned just in time to see him approaching from my left and smiled. He looked much better than the last time I had seen him. He lifted his hand in greeting and I nodded in return.

Eragon's POV

Arya looked as beautiful as always. As I approached she turned and saw me coming toward her. I raised my hand to greet her and I saw a small smile grace her lips before her usual expression settled back onto her features, but that little smile made me feel even better than before.

"Good morning Arya svit-kona." I grinned as I stopped a few feet in front of her. She arched an eyebrow and stepped back drawing her sword that had previously been strapped to her side.

"So are you ready?" Her eyes glinted dangerously and I knew she wouldn't go easy on me this time.

I nodded "I guess it would be nice to have a real challenge for a change." She laughed, the sound of it was one of my favorite in the world.

We both guarded our blades so that neither of us would get seriously hurt, after that we circled each other. I struck first knowing that she would just keep circling until I attacked. I swung brisingr toward her left side and she blocked easily then went on the offensive swinging her blade to the opposite side I had attempted to strike. We kept up our battle for what seemed like hours and a crowd had formed around us. The spectators had formed into a circle large enough so that we could move around freely without distraction. I was getting tired but I could tell that Arya couldn't last much longer at the pace we were fighting. If I could hold out a little longer I stood a chance of winning.

Arya's POV

I was tired, more so than I should have been or would have been if I was clashing with someone of any less skill. He knew I was tiring but I could hold out long enough to beat him. Right at that time Eragon swung brisingr toward my left side ,like he had at the beginning of our match, forcing me to focus more on our battle. I blocked just as his blade was about to make contact with my hip I blocked then spun in a tight circle. A well aimed blow struck brisingr knocking the sword out of Eragon's hands and back into the crowd where the bystanders jumped out of the way to avoid getting a limb sliced off my the rider's blade. He fell to the ground as brisingr skittered away from him. I lifted the blade of my sword so that it was inches away from my opponents neck. He was breathing hard, sweat was pouring from his head and his face had turned a bright reddish color.

I tilted my head and stared down at the defeated rider, he just looked up at me then started grinning like a fool. I sheathed my blade and reached a hand down to help him up. He took my out stretched hand, allowing me to pull him to his feet. My head still tilted I looked into his eyes.

"Good match you have improved since the last time we fought." I complimented him.

Eragon's POV

I grinned sheepishly at Arya's compliment and probably looked like a fool at the time but I didn't care. I was about to reply when a messenger ran up to us bowing first to me then to Arya.

"Lady Nasuada has requested that you come to her pavilion immediately."
