"Elva, no, not now" Eragon sobbed as he lay on the floor "not when I was just about to heal her"Eragon was alone though the pain was great and Elva was a good friend she could not omit her duties. It had been an hour since Eragon had seen her and the pain would not recede. Eragon had noticed sapphires presence in his mind but his lessons had taught him to never leave her presence, so instead he put her in the back of his mind never listening but always hearing. Elva now lay in a casket constructed by Eragons magic without him even noticing. She had flowers all around her making her smell of daffodils and lilacs. Eragon had made her ready in any way possible to help her on here journey to whatever gods there were.
The flap to the door burst open and Roran came in. "Eragon we must talk of your dragon she's been keeping me at bay and I just got…." Roran stopped and looked at the small body cradled in a casket blood covered the sheets but any tears or cut or even scars were on the girl like she had been healed by magic. "Magic" Roran had been staring at her for so long he had completely forgotten of Eragon. Roran walked over to Eragon "Eragon he said what is wrong" he asked in such a way familiar to him as he used to when Eragon was very little. Eragon looked up and stared at him his face red with emotion so Eragon just talked of everything. He talked of his miss wording of him learning of this and finding her here. Much of what he said he had already told but this was just little Eragon talking as if he had broken a window and was regretting it all. "Eragon you did not no you were untrained you new little of magic" he said "I should have healed her before the battle I could have rested any time afterward the spell is no problem" Roran thought for awhile. "Maybe you would feel better if you said the spell that way you now that you tried. Eragon looked at him for a long time "alright" he said "alright lets do it". Eragon smiled knowing it was a futile attempt but hoping that this would make him feel better inside. Eragon raised his palm and touched Elva's forehead. He was about to speak when his palm started to glow, and Eragon felt an alien mind try to get in his. He had been so sad he had forgotten to shield his mind. He panicked but was already at the mercy of whomever. He expected the mind to look through his memories learn his name control him and destroy the varden, but instead it spoke to him "Eragon" the voice sounded so familiar. "Elva is that you"Eragon said "aye" was the answer. "How is this possible"Eragon asked "I'm not exactly sure I think it has something to do with my insignia keeping my mind intake and your spell witch did not specify when I stop protecting people from harm keeps my body from decaying". Eragon thought "seems reasonable so does this mean your immortal" he asked, the question just coming to him. "No the only reason my mind is alive is because it's feeding off sapphire I suspect she's probably very tired right now". Eragon remembered sapphire just then.
"Sapphire are you hearing this" There was a pause. "Yes...Eragon I …. Hear you" she said. "Are you ok" he said "yes but I am very tiered" she said "ok rest and I'll speak to you in the morning". Sapphire did not reply but he could feel she had gone into a deep slumber.
"Elva" Eragon said "Is there any way to bring you back to normal"? She thought a moment "for me to return to my normal state you must understand what's happing to me" she said "go right ahead" Eragon said. "ok blood flows through my body but my heart does not beat my brain carries out its job but it thinks of me dead so dead my body should be my organs work but nothing controls them." she said. Eragon pondered this. Eragon started "so what your saying is…" "Saphire is maintaining my body" She finished. "So how do I help you. "You must heal me any part of my body I recommend my heart since it helps the body thrive, The brain would be faster but if you were to run out of energy my brain might not be able to come on again" she finished. "Alright easy that shouldn't be so hard". "Actually Eragon It's very hard the only reason sapphire can sustain me is because se is a dragon with centuries of dragon strength, but look how tiered she is, no you alone cannot". "Then what can" Eragon demanded. "Eragon the only thing that can help me now is a new dragon"
