Fighting Fish
This chapter is about Arya and Eragon just about the fight they had in the way to the capital of Surda.
Ezek and Saphira will be with them just they will be part of the story again in chapter 6.
Normal POV
Arya and Eragon were asleep on different sides of the campsite and when the morning sun came and either of them spoke in the morning. They ate there food and occasionally would look up and when they met eyes they would look back down and continue eating. This went on for about 20 minutes.
'I can't take this anymore…I have to get Arya back somehow, but I don't know what the reason is.' Thought Eragon looking atArya.
This time Eragon looked up and when Arya looked up they met eyes and she looked down but Eragon continued on looking at her. Arya looked up with her head down and then looked down again and rolled her eyes putting aside her finished bowl of fruit and said to Eragon simply,
"alright, there has to be a reason you're staring at me."
Eragon opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. Eragon looked down and then back up at Arya and saw that she was not looking away.
"What is it you want?" Said Arya plainly.
Conversation:
Eragon – Bold
Arya – regular
What??
You know what I mean…
No, No I don't
You thick headed…-curse in ancient language-
Arya watch your mouth!
Make me you…YOU….YOU…….ARGHHHHHHHH!!
Look I know I'm thick headed at times but majority of the time I'm right.
Most of the time…
You just don't know when to stop do you?
I…
No, I've heard enough.
-turns her back-
I'm sorry, I truly am…
I'm not talking to you, if I was talking to you I'd say, Do better.
Would a, 'I'm sorry' fix the problem?
-continues back turn-
-signs-
Conversation end
Eragon gets up and walks away form the campsite as he lets Arya cool her self down, he didn't want to get any madder.
He goes ten steps away and sits down on the sand and draws with his finger in the ancient language "Sad." But Arya who can be the maddest person she ever met actually stood up and came up behind Eragon and sat with her back to him and only a ½ a foot away.
Eragon didn't give any notice to Arya when she did not say anything to him, she might have not wanted to be alone, or that she was wanting a apology form herself. She looked up at the sky wondering if they would ever agree on the same things or they would fight for the rest of………Who knows? She almost wanted to end the whole thing and go back to the way thing s were before, but then she shook the idea out of her head and thought about how Eragon would probably feel and decided against it. She just wanted to be happy but for what cost? Arya didn't know and shoe hope that the answer was worth hearing.
"Why are you here?" Asked Eragon with a bit of sadness.
"I…I…I thought that maybe…we could…"
Arya never finished the sentence for she didn't know how she wanted to answer the question or the statement and how would Eragon take it? She feared the worst and never finished it, for she left it be and looked back down her face was starting to itch.
"You want an apology?"
"Well…I was hoping to…" What? End the relationship? Or give him what he wants to hear, make his life happy and miserable yourself? …No…Not anymore.
"What? What were you hoping on?" Said Eragon looking over his shoulder.
Arya didn't know what to say, did she want to make him happy or her? Her or him? She was getting an headache and didn't know what to say in a split second. She cleared her throat and said as clearly as possible,
"If I apologize, I will make you happy but I don't know about my own happiness."
Eragon spun around and looked at Arya who had a slender finger shyly drawing something in the sand, he had an raised eyebrow and asked,
"What do you mean? You're never happy?"
Arya gave him a funny look and then looked back down.
"No, actually."
Eragon went over and hugged Arya but she pushed off and didn't say anything its might be that she wanted to think things over. Eragon looked up at her concerned and asked if she was alright, but again there was no answer.
Can I truly find love that will last forever and ever? Last time I loved my heart was broken in more ways than I can remember... I'm worried.
She sat on a log by the now burnt out fire and hugged herselfrocking back and forth back and forth. Eragon never seen her like this before maybe it was a new side? He didn't know but his concern never stopped him before. So he came and sat down beside her and put and arm around her which Arya allowed and she stopped rocking and slowly but surly asked him just below a whisper,
"How long can your love last?" Arya said.
Eragon was shocked by the question but thought it over carefully and how he should face it with out compromising their love and said simply,
"As long as yours."
Arya chucked at the remark and she hugged him and they sat like that for a long time just enjoying the warmth of one another, but also the shade too, but thats another thing.
Eragon and saved their love with a couple of words thought he could have something better...-blame the author-... anyways, back to the story at hand.
As they sat and loved one another they kissed but to far just a simple little I missed you kiss, and hugged one another too and they kissed and hugged.
"I'm sorry Arya." Said Eragon whole heartily,
"Me too." Arya said in the same way.
They stood up and held hands and looked around for what reason they were trying to find out, but they were looking for his dragon and their new friend Ezek but they might have already be at the castle...but at least they were alone for once.
"Ah...No thank-you Eragon...I'm not ready to go that far just yet."
Eragon stopped doing what he was doing and they looked at one another as they both got an idea or a tingling feeling like something's behind them,
"There's something be hind me isn't there?" they said at unison.
And of course they were right, right behind them was the one and only Remora but he was alone and about ready to strike down on them, as the sword came down they slip hands and went out in either direction and went behind him. They tapped on his shoulder and he looked behind him and there they were, smiley like no tomorrow. Remora shrugged and made an upper cut at Arya but She grabbed the sword right out of his hand and flung it to the other side of the campsite, and Eragon grabbed his arm and flung him around and hit his back against the ground just as real-time sets in. Remora laid on the ground gasping for air and was amazed at the teamwork and ferocity of they attacks power.
"You once is great, but twice...thats just annoying." Said Arya.
Remora chucked and got back up and stood up cracking his back and chuckling some more and said simply,
"Well met Shade-slayer."
Arya and Eragon were confused and mesmerized by the comment, only a handful of people know Eragon the shade-slayer, and even then little word as actually reached the common people but if so how come? They might have forgotten.
"I'm Vanir-Remora, and for short Vanir."
Eragon took a step forward, and was shocked at the new found information.
"You were the man I spared with at Ellesmé ra! Then you lied to me?" Asked Eragon his voice raising.
Arya out a hand on his shoulder to try and get him to calm down but she knew what he was going through, as Remora (or Vanir (doesn't matter)) cracked his neck.
"Wait a minuet, that mean your a Shape-shifter an Elf?" Said Arya confused and processing the information.
"Exactly..." -claps- and laughs (Vanir).
Eragon was about to punch his face in for making feel this was but was stopped by Arya holding his wrist and very tightly at that.
"You know, you might not ever be able to return to Ellesmé ra you know. Though you broken a high law in Ellesmé ra but you will be executed if you return."
That is what Arya said as she crossed her arms and Vanir said he didn't care because he never will return anyways, but He forgot one little thing he knows way too much about Ellesmé ra and has to be killed in order to protect the city. As Arya said that Eragon grabbed his sword and Vanir and said,
"Let's have a rematch, shall we?" As He looked at Arya.
Arya watched as they went all over the grounds with speeding that could make a grown man crumble in his footsteps, they attacked with such speed and strength that it might have even shocked Arya but she was the cheerleader cheering on Eragon. When at last the last strike came Eragon went for a slash and they went right through Vanir's human sword and it shattered on the ground and he feel to his knees and on the ground. His life was gone and Arya and Eragon could go on in peace.
