The life of a witch.

As Angela sat down she began with saying "well now you will finally get to know how old I truly am, though I will only tell parts of my life that are related to your question of how I got to know them and what I promised to tell you back in Farthen Dûr Eragon.
Well to start at how I got to know them I will need to tell when I was born. I was born shortly after the humans first settled on this land and made contact with the elf's, eight hundred years ago.
At that time my mother a elven rider fell in love with my father a farmer and there love was strong and passionate.
But my mother told me it lasted only about two years. I was conceived a few months before my father left as he could not get used to the life style of the elf's.
Any way about five months later I was born. As a half breed of humans and elf's I would have had a very long life even with out the aid of magic. But at the age of thirty I learned a spell from a magician that made me as immortal as my mother and the rest of the elf's.
Now as you know the elf's do keep on ageing to a certain point al be it very slowly so my for young looks you really have to give credit to my herbs." Angela stopped for a moment to ask Eragon if he had some water or tea to wet her throat.
So Eragon got some water for her and also put a kettle above the small fire in his fire place. With that done Angela took a sip of water and continued "Back then I was roaming the lands trying to learn all I could about it.
Every once in a while I would visit my mother in Ellesméra who was knows as Naudr'arya."A Flash of shock showed on Arya's face as
Angela continued"It was during one of those visits I met Oromis and Gleadr as they to where visiting my mother with a request to join them at Doruaba, I had been there before with my mother so this time I joined her and her dragon Jura.
It was on this visit my mother became a Elder of the riders just like Oromis was. My age at that time was around 500. So unknowing to us 200 years later Galbatorix would rise to power.
When he started I was roughly 650 years old I was with my mother in the halls of the elders when she left to fight him, she never came back. Then I got to the one place I knew was save at least for then the home of the werecats, there I met the young price of the werecats Solembum.
I lived with them for about 50 years after that I left to see what had happened to the world and if the riders really had lost. As I did get to hear some of the details but I wanted to know more so did Solembum, so we started to travel together. What we saw confirmed our worst fears all the riders where dead and Galbatorix mad as he is was leading the empire.
So we travelled to the elf's one last time before settling in Teirm till you came along. There with the elf's we met your father Eragon he was going to kill one more of the forsworn two days later." Angela took a sip of water and a small rest from her story. As Eragon checked if the tea water was ready yet. It was so he took the water out of the fire and make them some tea, all the wile it was silent in the tent. When that was done Angela took another sip but this time from the tea and continued the story "Before he left how ever I offered him to read his fortune he accepted saying "No matter what you say the future is not bound by it." so I took out my dragon bones and read him is fortune a grim one it was, though most of it you already know how grim.
He knew he was going to die saving your life Eragon I told him that when he would finally be ready to tell his son he was his father, he would die before he would have the chance.
I could not tell you this last time because of the fact you did not know yet. He had sworn me to never tell a soul about this fortune ever again." Angela took another sip of tea deeply in thought. And she when on "It was about 20 years later I met your mother Selena in Teirm, how beautiful she was even after giving birth the year before of your brother well half brother Murtagh. She had just fallen in love with Brom and that had changed her for the better.
I offered to read her future as Solembum had talked to her what he told her I do not know, nor did or ever will I want to know.
This is because of her fortune it was filled with love from then on but it was like a fire that burned so brightly that it would explode in a short time and that's exactly what happened. The love between her and Brom was ever lasting even in death, but her life was cut short because of it. After giving birth to you she was mortally injured but not only because of the birth process but also because she had one last mission to complete.
And she took it on proudly even in her weakened state she did complete it how ever, it ensured your safety and the fact that you are now a dragon rider is thanks to that mission. She placed a spell on your valley and on you that would protect you and send the egg of Saphira to you when things where set in motion."taking a moment to let this sink in she was silent for a bit while taking a sip of tea and when on"You see Eragon and Arya your faiths are intertwined on the highest level, both your mother and father Eragon as your mother and father Arya knew this all was going to happen as it did. Arya this is why your mother tried to keep you from going to ferry the egg across the land. She thought you were going to die as it was the one point I was unsure of when I read the fortune of your father. I was unsure of it till the day I read Eragon's fortune back in Teirm then I knew you where going to survive Arya. Don't ask me how I just knew then and there. But if you really want to know more ask Eragon if he want to tell you his fortune for its not mine to tell."silently mumbling the last sentence of her word before saying"
So this is how I got to know Oromis and parts of my life, the parts that are most important to you right now are all I can tell"Angela concluded and downed the now lukewarm tea in one go.
"Now I think you might have some questions, but I beg you let them wait for after the funeral as I want to ask you, Eragon and Saphira if Solembum and I can join you all on your journey to the elf's to say goodbye to a dear friend?." Angela asked.

A long deep silence followed and Eragon was stunned and trying to keep him self from bursting out with questions and accusations, That Angela could have saved Brom if only she would have told then he thought back to the last visit to Ellesméra where Oromis told him together with Saphira about his true relationship with Brom his father. He was angry then for no good reason as his father had sworn them in the most binding of oaths not to talk about it to him just like Angela was now. Then when he had recollected him self he asked saphira if she agreed to let Angela and Solembum to join them she agreed. Then Eragon extended a small part of his mind to Arya to ask her if she was okay with it after all she was coming with them and she might not agree and Eragon would not like to anger the one he loved. Also he did not want Angela to hear what they where talking about. He found her defenceless and in turmoil, thoughts and emotions clouded her mind. Every now and then he heard his name pass by in her thoughts so he quickly withdrew from her mind and then decided to ask her in voice not wanting to further invade her privacy "Arya what do you say, shall we let Angela join us?"

Arya awoken from her thoughts with a confused look on her face answered "O sorry Eragon can you run that by me one more time, I seem to have lost my self in thought for a moment there."
So Eragon asked her again and then she agreed saying "I see no harm in taking them with us to Gil'ead. But I wanted to take you and Saphira to Ellesméra to show you something Oromis made me promise to show only you and I can't let her join us there. so she will have to wait at Gil'ead for us to return."

"Right then we better get ready for the trip" Angela said thankfully "It will takes us no longer then half a hour. We will come here when we are done" with that Angela and Solembum run off to there tent to get there supply's and reappeared exactly half an hour later ready to depart. So they all mounted Saphira for a short flight as it was already past mid day and off they went to Gil'ead.
