NO FOREIGN ALLIANCE

Once the little fight was over, the gang travels to the capital. In the capital of Aberon, Ezek and his gang were in an inn near the city wall. Once the gang got settled Eragon was talking to Saphira.

"'Eragon, am I yet again going to have to stay out of the city or what?'" Saphira asked.

"I don't know but if you can stay some-where safe, and then you might not have too." Eragon said looking down thinking.

At last when Saphira agreed they departed and Saphira took flight. Once he was inside he went to the counter to see if he could get some food. At the sound of a little bell on the counter a seven year old girl came and asked for his business. When he said it she replied that he would have to go across the street to the bar for some grub, Eragon thanked her and gave her a crown for her information. Once he got to the room, he saw for a split second a basin come for his face and grabbed it out of the air. Arya was furious with Ezek, and trying to kill him by the looks of them running around the room like an animal thrown in a cage.

"Why you little, " was all that Arya said.

At once a pillow came right at Ezek head and he had barely any time to dodge the blow. Eragon only watched and had no idea how the situation began. then gradually he put the basin back and watched more intensely.

"ERAGON!!" came a sharp reply from Arya mouth.

Eragon moved closer to the center of the room and stood inform of Arya and her victim. He held her arms and asked what was wrong, but she tried to force her way out of his grasp but gave up when it failed.

"What happened?" Eragon asked.

When Arya looked into his eyes her anger was diminished at once and she looked down at the ground and said only this,

"He asked about our little talk."

"Hugh?" came his reply.

Ezek was on the floor and rubbing his eye which sparingly didn't get damaged, but she stood up and went to one of the three beds away form the two Arya have put together. Eragon looked at him for a second then turned his attention to her. Ezek rolled on his side and fell asleep too tired to eat or anything for that matter. Once Arya and Eragon were finished they left the Inn and went across the street to the bar called "Pegasus." Once inside they got a table near the middle of the bar, when they settled Arya was calmer than she has ever felt. Though she was finally alone with Eragon she still wished Ezek wasn't here. A strikingly young lass came to there table for their orders, Eragon got something they could share, a bowl of hazel nut carrot dumplings with a hint of honey. Then he asked for some of their finest wine, once it their order was taken she left and they waited for it to come to them.

"Eragon, have I become too irrational?" Arya asked saddened.

"Never!" said Eragon, taking her hand and holding it.

Arya smiled and held on tighter to his grip but not too tight. They talked about everything from, what they will do once they get back to Ellesméra, if they would every have children or if they would live long together, even to what they would do if the Varden asked him to be king of the new country. When the food arrived they ate together and fed one another too, and enjoyed them selves' laughing and drinking. When it was finished and the last dumpling ate and last sip gone, they paid and left a bit drunk but holding one another's hands making it to the Inn about sometime close to night, (it was the afternoon when they arrived) They giggled and said odd thing s while they made their awkward climb up the stairs and the woman behind the counter listen to their stupidity.

"We must not wake…anybodyyy." Arya said.

"ShHHHhhh…" Said, Eragon.

Once at the top Eragon held Arya's side while she tried drastically to stand upright but ended up either falling or failing. They both fell on Arya's bed and fell asleep immediately.

Ezek's POV

Once mourning came he woke up and rolled over to see Eragon on the floor snoring like construction of a castle, and Arya who had her tunic rolled up exposing her soft light tanned belly with a scar on her side that grown pink over the years.

"Drinking, I believe." Ezek said standing up.

He looked around the room, infron to him was the paneled wood wall with two beds pushed together to form a double bed and Arya on top (with a arm over her face) and Eragon on the floor) to his right is the door to the balcony with a white curtain over the door and was still locked. To his right was the door was to the hallway that led down stairs, and to the left of that was the water basin with a mirror right behind it. Ezek stood and went over to the water basin and washed his face and looked at his eye. It was swollen but fine to look through, he picked up the pitcher and came to where Eragon lay on the ground.

Eragon's POV

While he slept he felt something cool and icy running through his mouth and then felt something ice cold slap him on the stomach which caused him to stir. He woke from his sleep to find himself soaked and Ezek standing over him with a big smile.

"What was that for?" Eragon exclaimed as he stood up.

Normal POV

"For being obnoxious and loud." Ezek said leaving the room.

"What do-…" Eragon began but Ezek closed the door.

"Eragon, are we leaving soon? This barn is too small and I don't know how long I can hide in it.'" Saphira said sounding smug.

Eragon walked over to the door and looked out from behind the curtain, and then opened them. Upon opening Arya woke from her slumber, sitting up she rubbed her eyes and looked about the room. Eragon turned to her and looked at her and she looked at him. They smiled as she got up and turned to the basin and went to wash her face. Returning she came over to Eragon and whispered in his ear,

"I need to change, I know we are lovers but I still need my privacy." Arya said looking down at his feet.

Eragon nodded his head and left the room closing the door behind him. As soon as he was out of the room Arya came to his mind and said,

"I'll tell you when to come back in."

"Alright, I'll wait." Eragon said back.

While Eragon waited Ezek came back up the stairs and noticed Eragon standing in front of the door. He asked what he was doing; Eragon replied back that Arya was changing. Ezek came next to the door and sat with his chin on his knees and looking at the floor.

"Ezek what's troubling you so much?" Eragon said looking down on him.

"I feel like a Foreigner, and that I'm just in the way." Ezek said refusing to look up.

"Your not." Eragon said crossing his arms.

("You may now enter." Said Arya)

"But don't worry you'll be a friend in no time!" Said Eragon.

Then Eragon held out a hand to stand Ezek up, when he accepted they entered the room to find Arya fixing the sheets of Ezek's bed. She wore a satin green tunic with semi-tight leather pants with fine-shined boots up to her knee and leather sting to keep the stock of the boot up. She had her leather belt on with her sword attached and her bow and quiver across her back. Eragon greeted her while Ezek got dressed for war with out the actual armor. Eragon put on his things he obtained from his teacher and put them on, they left their room and went to the lobby and paid for the room and left the Inn.

Once they were out side of the Inn Eragon asked where Saphira was with his mind and she sent him a mental image, it was Orrin's Castle. Eragon the group and they looked at him like he lost his mind, but he was reassured it was for the best. The group walked along the main road looking at the open market of assortments and jewelry and such. They walked till they could walk no more and came to a shop of bakery goods; it had a bench in front so they sat down and puffed as they finally sat down. They watched as people walked by with all sorts of strange outfits but the city wasn't that big but strangely calm, not like Dras-Leona; busy and loud.

Eragon looked down at his gedwëy ignasia, it was starting to twitch and then it started to burn like someone was trying to burn it. Eragon held on to his wrist as he tried to hold in his urge to scream. Arya saw what was happening and looked around to see what is causing it. Ezek looked at Eragon and questioned, but Eragon gave so reply. When at last it had stopped, it had steam coming from it; Eragon quickly clutched fists and started panting.

"What was that?" Asked Ezek looking at Eragon.

"I don't know, I don't think I want to know." Came his reply.

"Something is wrong…"Arya said standing looking around.

As if the words she was speaking there in the crowd of people, people were being pushed aside as something was coming fast through there.

"We need to leave, NOW!!" Arya said grabbing Eragon's writs and running.

Ezek ran afterward but not as fast, he looked behind to see if he could get a shot at what was following them but soon found that as soon as the crowd was pushed aside nothing came out of it. He stopped, but it was something in the shadow was creepily gaining speed in his direction. He turned on his hells and ran as fast as his legs could carry him to where Arya and Eragon were booking it. He said painting that something odd was following them and that it somehow doesn't like the sun.
