I'll try to post the next chapter on Monday.

Chapter 3

Eragon's POV

What have I done? Arya is not well because of me, it's my fault, and I hurt her. I've been so insensitive, I never thought about her feelings when I pushed her away, and now I can't speak to her. I ruined everything. She trusted me, I didn't honor that trust… all this years I just thought about my feelings, how could I be so stupid and selfish? Now I don't know where she is, she's probably alone, and I hurt her. I hurt her, how could I hurt her?

"Little one, don't punish yourself so much. You did what you judged to be the best, soon you'll be able to speak with her, and explain everything. Shell understand, I'm sure"

"Thanks Saphira, I don't know what I'd do without you"

"Try to forget this for now. We have some problems we need to solve, and we need to finish organizing the games, after all they are right around the corner"

I tried to forget about Arya, and climbed on Saphira, who started to fly towards the arena. With time I was able to focus my attention on my tasks but Arya never left my mind. When the morning star started to disappear in the horizon, I went back to my place. I went straight to my bedroom, cracking my head trying to find a way to speak with Arya. Maybe the elves could tell me where she was, they didn't told Nasuada, but they might tell me. Maybe she just need a couple days off, shed have told me if there was an important meeting, or maybe shed not, giving how distant I have been. It's better to wait for Nasuada to arrive, and ask her for advice. I don't want to do anything reckless, I've already done too much damage, I'll have to wait some long days, but it will be worth it.

Arya's POV

After two long days flying towards the island, Fírnen and I are exhausted, but we are close, close as we've never been before. How will Eragon react when he sees me? I know he still loves me but, I'm still scared about his reaction, I just hope he will be happy. With every beat of Fírnen's wings I get more worried, about what I'll do, his reaction…I know Fírnen's exited to see Saphira, he misses her.

After a couple more hours flying we could see the island on the horizon, and I see its shape. The island resembles a star, it's simply amazing.

As far as I know Eragon lives, in a private spot of the island, not too far nor too close to the others. As we approach the island we fly higher in order to find a good place to land, so no one can see us. We finally spot a clearing in the woods, it's enough hidden, and can fit two mature dragons, and is private. Fírnen lands and I get off him.

"Fírnen please stay as hidden as possible, I'd like to talk to Eragon before anyone else knows I'm here. If you could try to reach Saphira, and ask her to bring Eragon, id really appreciate it"

"Sure Arya, and don't worry no one will notice me"

"Thanks Fírnen, I really want to speak with Eragon in private and then you could have some private time with Saphira"

Fírnen's POV

I close my eyes, and brush my mind unperceptively trough dragons, humans, elves, urgals and dwarves, until I find Saphiras, and I focus on her, as she notices me she attacks, and blocks me.

"Its Fírnen Saphira"- I scream in her mind

"Impossible, he is miles away, but if you are so sure you are him, how did Arya send Eragon a message to Eragon, before I met you"

"On a grass boat, and when we met, you bit my leg that hurt."

"For Eragon, its really you. What are you doing here, is Arya with you?"- I could sense how surprised she was

"I will explain it all, yes Arya is with me, and could you bring Eragon here?"-he sent her the image where they were

"Yes, I know exactly where you are, I take Eragon there when he needs to relax, its amazing up there."

"It really is, Arya wishes to speak with Eragon alone, so when you get him here maybe we could go somewhere else"

"Sure, give me twenty minutes, and we'll be there, I need to grab Eragon, he might protest a little, but I'll get him there don't worry"

"We will wait; I'm looking forward to see you"

"So am I Fírnen"

I leave her mind and open my eyes.

Arya's POV

"They will be here in about twenty minutes"

"Thanks Fírnen"

I cast a spell so no one can see us, and wait, for what seemed hours and then I hear a beat of wings so familiar, and as I look up I see Saphira, bigger and stronger than ever, and still amazingly beautiful and majestic. She land a couple of meters away from us and Eragon gets off, I can see that they are mentally talking, then she just fly and I see Fírnen doing the same. All I see is a really frustrated Eragon without a clue why he's here.

I sneak behind him an undo the spell, Fírnen is now visible, and I touch his shoulders, he turns and our eyes lock, he seems surprised.

"Arya…"

"Eragon…"

We just keep staring at each other, for minutes.

"Is this real? Am I dreaming?"- He slowly gets close and touches my arm, his eyes were wet, and so were mine

I just throw myself at him, and hug him. I could sense his body tense by my unusual behavior, but then he relax and hold me tight.

"I'm really here Eragon, you are not dreaming"

Suddenly I feel a conscience carefully brushing on mine, when I notice how familiar this mind as I just let him in, and I think about all I can and can't say, about how much I missed him, and how much it hurt when he left me out. When I see that he is crying and in some kind of pain I stop.

"Arya, I'm so sorry, I just didn't know how to deal with the distance, being so close yet so far, i…"- he just sat on the grass and I see tears rolling down.

I sat beside him and give him another hug, he hugs me back and didn't let go.

"May I?"

I don't get for what he was asking permission, but then again I feel his mind brushing on mine and I let him in, this time he's the one telling me things, I could sense everything he felt, he just pored himself on me. I felt his sadness being away from me, his devotion, his admiration and he carefully send me his love. This time I was the ne crying and when he noticed he stopped and started to pull back, but before he pulled his mind of mine, I plead.

"Stay…"
