Me: I'm back! I know I'm later than normal, but I got sucked into my Truth or Dare fic!
Arya: I thought I was free! (pouts)
Eragon: You look so cute when you pout.
Saphira: Little one you should stop talking before she throws you onto a tree.
Arya: You should listen to your dragon.
Eragon: Fiiiiine!
Me: Ha ha. Angela's fortune telling will be made public in this chapter.
Eragon: Vas? Nein! Nein! Nein! Ver? Nicht gut!
Me: When did you learn German? Never mind, I'm just going to start the chapter. As always, I own nothing.
Chapter 5: Revealing
Eragon flushed red at the mention of Angela's prophecy.
Nasuada regained her ability to speak after her laughing fit.
"Angela what are you talking about?" she asked.
"Nothing," Eragon cut in before she could answer. "It's not relevant."
"Oh, so you've not told anyone?" Angela smirked.
"There was no reason to and it never came up until now." He answered curtly.
"Well it's come up now." Angela pointed out. "So why don't you explain so everyone can participate in the conversation."
"What in the whole of Alagaesia are you two talking about?" Nasuada demanded.
"Angela told my fortune in Terim, and now for reasons I cannot fathom she wants me to tell you two." Eragon explained, glaring at said fortuneteller.
"Why are you so reluctant to tell?" Arya queried. Suddenly looking panicked, she asked "You're not going to go the same way as Murtagh, are you?"
"Saphira would eat me if I tried." Eragon pointed out.
"Then why won't you tell?" Nasuada asked.
"Why are you so damn interested?" he grumbled.
"Just curious." She answered quickly.
"It seems I've been backed into a corner. I pretty much have to tell now don't I?"
All three women nodded.
Eragon paused for a moment and his eyes went glassy as he remembered.
Seemingly in a trance, he repeated every word Angela had said to him that day.
Arya and Nasuada remained in a stunned silence for the longest time. Eragon merely studied his feet, waiting for someone to speak.
Finally, Nasuada broke the silence. "You're leaving?" she asked softly.
"Yes." His voice was barely a whisper.
Arya remained silent.
After a few more uncomfortable minutes, Drákos asked 'Why mommy and day sad?'
"It's nothing Drákos." Arya said quickly. "I'll explain when you are older." She then turned to leave the tent.
Before they could exit, Saphira spoke up. 'What are you going to do about him not wanting to be away from you or Eragon?'
Arya groaned. "I forgot about that." She admitted.
'If you stay apart, the entire Varden will become sleep deprived due to his wailing. ' Saphira pointed out.
"Maybe you should share a tent." Nasuada suggested.
"But-" Eragon started to protest.
'Little one, it is necessary.' Saphira said gently.
Eragon spoke to his dragon privately. 'Saphira, is I sleep in a tent with her, I am almost guaranteed to mess something up!'
'You will be fine.'
'I think you have more faith in me than I do.'
'It is to be expected.'
'Of course.'
"Eragon, I think Nasuada is right." Arya said reluctantly.
"If you say so." He murmured.
"Will you need a larger tent?" Nasuada asked.
"No. I can enchant one of our tents to make the interior larger." Arya responded in a stiff voice.
Nasuada nodded and said "You should go get prepared. Both of you must be exhausted."
Both nodded and exited the tent.
As soon as they were out of earshot of Nasuadas red tent, Arya rounded on Eragon.
"What is bothering you?" she asked quietly. "I know there is something so don't lie to me."
"I'm afraid that if we share a tent, I will do something to jeopardize our friendship." He admitted reluctantly.
Arya turned her head away, hiding her face behind a thick veil of black hair.
"I will go get my tent ready." She paused. "Or do you want to stay in your tent?"
"It is up to you."
"Then I will go prepare my tent." And with that she turned and walked swiftly away, Drákos trailing behind her.
Me: I'm sorry this chapter is so short. I tried to stretch it out, but I failed epically :/
Arya: It's fine. You didn't torment me in this chapter so I'm happy!
Eragon: Please don't make me screw this up!
Me: I've got it all planed out. I just need to type it up.
Eragon: But will I screw up?
Me: You'll find out when everyone else does.
Angela: Why did I want Eragon to tell everyone about my fortunetelling for him?
Me: It's a secret. You'll find out later. And for those of you who don't speak German, in the beginning Eragon said 'What? No! No! No! Why? Not good!'
Nasuada: Thanks for the translation.
Me: No problem. I'm getting off now. Review please!
…
Me: I said I'm getting off now! Why are you still here? STALKER!
