Eragon – Oops! – Chapter One
Author Note: Here's chapter one. I hope you enjoy it
Eragon steadied himself on the wall to his right as Oromis contemplated what to do with the girl. "I created her?" Eragon couldn't fathom how he could possibly do such a thing.
"Have I not been over this before? It's impossible to create life. You must have teleported her from somewhere else. Let us just hope that she is not allied with Galbatorix."
What will happen if she is? Eragon voiced Saphira's question.
"We may have no choice." Oromis shook his head.
"What?" Eragon looked at him in disbelief. "You couldn't possibly mean killing her?"
"If she's allied close with Galbatorix, I'm sure she will know how to block her mind. Although, if she isn't, we could possibly just erase her memories of us and return her home." Eragon sighed with relief.
There's no way I'd let him kill her over something so small.
Death seems a bit harsh. But Oromis has done everything possible to keep himself and Glaedr a secret. Eragon understood Saphira's point.
"Will we wait until she awakens?" Eragon wondered how long it would take her to come to.
"No. We will scry her, but with energy from a reserve so that it does not drain our energy." Noticing Eragon's lack of energy Oromis revised his plan. "Perhaps we can wait a bit. All of us need our rest after what you put us through." Eragon's cheeks flushed.
"Sorry Master Oromis." Oromis only grunted in response.
"Let us eat for now; we will just have to ensure that this never happens again. Not even a slight mishap." They sat in what appeared to be some sort of living room.
"Are you going to scry her?" Eragon worried for their safety, but Oromis only looked at uncertainly.
"Not when we are so close. You should be able to sense her presence when she awakens and I know that I can." Oromis words sounded as though they were scolding him for slacking on his training.
I'll be going hunting. I shall return soon. Saphira informed Eragon before taking off.
"Since I could enter Arya's mind when she was asleep, couldn't we technically enter her mind and see if she were an enemy or not?" Eragon attempted to consider all possibilities of minimizing the damage he had caused.
"If you have the energy for it, go ahead, but keeping you alive was not as easy as it may sound." Eragon knew that he deserved to be talked to so coldly.
"I'm sorry." Eragon lowered his head and continued eating. They continued to eat in silence until there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Oromis beckoned them.
"Did you request my presence?" Arya stepped in, followed by Orik.
"There has been a mishap with our training." Oromis paused, "Eragon slipped on his words and seems to have transported someone into Ellesmera."
"That is impossible! No person or thing is capable of transporting into Ellesmera!" Arya looked at Oromis with shock.
"This boy has done it. She has not awakened yet." Oromis looked at Orik with question.
"I have just as much of a right to see what is happening with the boy as anybody else here."
"I see." Oromis did not like Orik's pushiness but accepted it for the time being. "Arya, could you please inform her majesty Islanzadi of this occurrence?"
"Yes. I shall return with her word as soon as possible." Arya exited leaving Orik behind.
"As bad as this may turn out, it does give me hope that you could accomplish it Eragon." Orik patted the boy on the back.
"And nearly died trying." Eragon added solemnly. "Had it not been for Saphira and Oromis, I don't believe I would have made it." Orik suddenly looked stern.
"You better be careful then. We can't afford to have anything happen to you."
"Good evening," Oromis glanced at the girl walking through the doorway but she only looked confused.
"Who are you? And where am I?" Orik, Eragon, and Oromis looked at her confused, they could not understand her, but they heard the terror in her voice. "How did I get here?" Their looks at her only confused her more. They can't understand me. I might never be able to get home. None of the males in the room understood exactly what was going on, but they could sense her fear, it was even more apparent to them when she had begun to cry. Eragon looked at both Orik and Oromis unsure of how to react to her and when neither of them made a move he made his way over to her. She looked up as he came closer. Eragon moved slowly afraid of scaring her. "Who are you?" She looked even more scared and confused.
What do I do? Eragon had sensed that Saphira had just returned. Saphira peered into the hut with one eye.
Give her a hug? Comfort her in some way I suppose. Eragon reached his arms out to bring her close to him. Her eyes got wide and she jerked her arm forward.
"CREEP!" She screamed as her fist made contact with his nose. Under normal circumstances Eragon would have evaded the attack, or let it hit him without any bother, but with his lack of energy the small attack was all that it took. Eragon lurched over unconscious. The girl's eyes got even wider in shock. She retreated back into the room she had come from in fear.
Unsure of what reaction he should have Oromis just laughed. Orik looked at Oromis in shock. "He deserved that for what he just put me through." I think I'm going to enjoy this girl's presence. Oromis communicated with Glaedr.
It seems so. Just do not let her distract you or Eragon from training.
I won't let it happen. Oromis got up and made his way past Eragon to attempt some form of communication with the girl.
