Disclaimer: I still don't own The Inheritance Cycle.
And now to answer Naerys Targaryen: No he did not. As for Lily's clothes, she thought of that beforehand. You see, most of the older Authorers/Authoresses get a set of clothes from each of the dimensions so that they won't stand out when they go there.
Chapter 4
Eragon decided to put off testing my magical capability until the next day. I was secretly glad. It gave me more of a chance to brush up on the ancient language. You see, even though I'm pretty good at using my powers, I'm not very good at remembering the ancient language. I basically had Angela give me a list of words in the ancient language along with what they meant.
That night, I was studying the ancient language when I heard a voice speak in my mind.
Hello Saphira. I said smiling.
I would like to ask you a question. Saphira said.
Ask away then.
Why do have a strong aura of power? You give off a stronger aura than even Oromis did. Saphira asked.
Should I tell her? I asked myself. She was an Authoress/Dragoness after all. Maybe it would be best if I told her. As long as she swore not to tell anyone.
Once I finally decided what to say, I said.
I will tell you if you swear in the ancient language not to tell anyone what I say without my permission.
She didn't say anything for a moment and then she swore not to tell anyone. I took a deep breath and then I began to explain who I am and what I could do. Once I had finished my own tale, I told her that she was an Authoress and what that entailed for a Dragoness. When I finally finished explaining everything, I knew that she was shocked. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she passed out.
She didn't say anything for a while and then she asked.
So Oromis, Brom, and Ajihad were all Authorers?
Yes. They were some of the best. I replied sadly. I missed the three of them a lot.
Why didn't any of them tell me that I'm an Authoress? Saphira asked.
They might have decided not to tell you so that you could be an unknown Authoress. Being a known Authoress isn't always easy. I replied after pondering the answer. Or maybe they just decided to tell you later. I don't really know, Saphira.
I waited for her to respond but after a few hours, I gave up and just went to sleep.
The next morning, I got up and went outside. The sun was high in the sky and soldiers were moving amongst the tents. I stood there for a few minutes and then a young girl approached me.
But she was no ordinary girl. I knew right away that she was Elva.
"Hello, Elva, lovely morning, isn't it?" I asked.
"You are different." Elva said frowning.
"How so?" I asked curiously looking her in the eye.
"You're like Angela, I can't see your fears." Elva said still frowning before suddenly saying. "You're an Authoress, aren't you? You're like myself and Angela?"
I nodded slightly before saying to her, mentally.
Yes. I'm just from a different dimension.
Elva nodded before she suddenly frowned and asked. "What are you doing here then? Shouldn't you be back in your own dimension?"
"Some Authorers/Authoresses were having a competition back in my dimension and part of the competition was going to a different dimension." I took a deep breath before continuing. "So I decided to come here and when I learned about it, I decided to help you with your war."
"I'm surprised you would want to. Have you ever even dealt with a war?" Elva asked.
"Unfortunately, though I've fought things that would terrify you if I described them." I replied as I thought back on the war. I quickly shook those thoughts from my head and said. "Anyway, I wish to avenge three Authorers who have died in this war and finish the war as soon as possible."
"Hmph, I guess you can help us." Elva said before walking away. I didn't think that she liked me very much.
"I don't think she likes you." A voice said from behind me and I turned to see Angela.
"She wouldn't be the first." I shrugged before adding. "But she'll come around, we are both Authoresses after all."
"I don't know, she isn't very trusting." Angela said before frowning and adding. "She isn't very helpful either. I mean she could have helped us when we broke into Dras-Leona, but she chose not to and someone died."
Anger welled up inside of me. Just because you are stubborn doesn't mean you shouldn't help someone. Especially when you're an Authorer/Athoress. I started to go talk to her but Angela held me back.
"Not now, we can deal with her later." Angela told me and then she said. "Besides, we need to go see Eragon for your magic test."
I nodded and then Angela and I went to see Eragon and Saphira by their tent.
