Chapter 2, new body

Saphira was lying on a cot in a tent, Eragon, sitting in a chair, watching her sleep.

Roran and Katrina entered, they had yet to be married, they decided to wait tell after the war.

"Eragon I heard about Saphira, that's rough mate," said Roran.

"yeah, you have my sympathies," said Katrina.

"but still…" said Roran.

"what?" asked Eragon.

"she's not a bad site," said Roran.

"no, she's not" said Katrina.

"what do you mean?" asked Eragon.

"oh, come on, Eragon how are you not understanding?" said Katrina when Eragon continued to look ignorant, she continued, "she's beautiful, Eragon, I for one will think it will be interesting to see how saphira will act as a human."

Eragon was not surprised by Katrina's excitement, she and Saphira had gotten close since they rescued Katrina from Hellgrind.

"but, why are we being so morbid, you won, we won, we bet the empire," said Roran, wrapping Eragon in a one-armed hug, Katrina soon followed. "oh, and Eragon?"

"Yes, Roran?" asked Eragon.

"at the wedding, would you be the best man?" asked Roran.

"oh, cousin, that would be the greatest honor, I would love to," said Eragon.

"and maybe, if she feels up to it, do you think saphira could be the maid of honor?" asked Katrina.

"maybe, we'll have to see," said Eragon.

"well, we got to go, Katrina and I need to get things ready for the wedding," said Roran.

He and Katrina left the room and Ergaon looked back at Saphira.

'they are right, she is beautiful, no Eragon get your head out of the gutter, she's your dragon, she's like a mother figure, she waking up, wait waking up, oh, gods,'

Saphira was suturing, she sat up, she now had on a gray tunic and slacks thanks to Aria, she opened one eye and Eragon could see that it was a deep sapphire blue, this only increased her beauty.

"Eragon, what happened? I remember Galbatorix blasting me and then nothing,"

"Well, Saphira, galbatorix is dead, but his spell on you remains,"

"what spell" Asked Saphira.

"look down" said Eragon.

She did.

She let out a loud scream of surprise, "What happened? How did? What are? Ahhhhhhhh," she pointed at her breasts "what are these!?"

Eragon blushed "well saphira, those are-"

Oh, gods, oh, gods, what did that bastard do to me," she got up and began to walk to the mirror, at the other side of the tent, but she stumbled. Eragon caught her. "How do you humans walk with these things?" she exclaimed at this point she was at the mirror.

She was silent for a long while, when Eragon herd a shuddering sigh come from Saphira, Eragon looked and saw that she had tears in her eyes. Instinctively he reached out and embraced her, she wrapped her arms around him and sobbed into his tunic.

It was only then that Eragon realized how warm she was, it was like lying agents her when she was a dragon.

Someone cleared their throat behind them and they turned to see Angela and Solembum standing there. Angela grinning, and Solembum purring. "I came to inspect Saphira," said Angela.

"right," said Eragon, letting go of Saphira, Saphira, it seemed did not want to let go, she kept her arms around him.

"Saphira let go, we need to do this," said Angela.

"fine" said Saphira "what do I have to do?"

"just lie down," said Angela.

Saphira went back to the bed and sat down on it. Angela began by pulling two tunics out of her bag on was light blue and one was dark red. "which would you rather wear?" asked Angela.

"what does that have to do with anything?" asked Saphira.

"just pick one," said Solembum

"That one" Said Saphira pointing to the blue one.

"what was the point of that?" asked Eragon.

"Eragon take Saphira's shirt off," said Solembum.

"what?"

"no!" said Saphira

"Interesting," said Angela, "she seems to have human instincts."

"How'd you get that result?" Asked Eragon.

"well, I offered her two tunics, human girls seem to instinctively know what would look good on them, and since no one wants to look bad, she picked the blue tunic."

"and," Added solembum, "I told you to take her shirt off because, natural female human instincts makes them not want to appear top-less, except under special circumstances."

"well Nasuada has made up rooms for the two of you in Urû-Bean, you can regroup in there, but for now I'll need to do a physical examination of Saphira, Eragon you have to leave,"

"Why?" Asked Eragon

"Eragon I have to do a physical examination."

"oh, I see I'll be back."

"NO!!" Said Saphira "Eragon, I need you at my side,"

"He can stay, but if he looks I will gouge his eyes out," said Angela.

"good," said Saphira

Eragon pulled up a chair to the bedside.

"Eragon, I'm- I'm scared," said Saphira.

"why asked Eragon.

"what if there is no way out of this ugly body," sadi Saphira "what if-"

Eragon stopped her, "you once told me "don't fear the future for it does not exist and never will," besides, you're not ugly, you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen,"

Saphira blushed "why is my face hot?" asked Saphira.

"it's called blushing Saphira,"

"this is going to take some getting used to." As Angela began her examination
