Disclaimer：I do not own Inheritance Cycle. Minor language in this chapter. This will be the last chapter 'cause I'm running out of ideas.

"So how are we going to get the message to the elves?" I asked for the tenth time. Eragon was fuming.

"I. Don't. Know." He forced the words out again.

"Then how are we-"

"I DON'T KNOW OKAY??? I'M ONLY 17! I CAN'T KNOW HOW TO DO EVERYTHING!!" He finally exploded. I held up my hands in an apologetic gesture. He was still seething. Saphira wiggled a bit.

"Woah…" Eragon clung to her tighter.

Someone needs to meditate. Shruikan thought to me and Saphira. I nodded.

I think Saphira needs to dump said person in a lake. I thought back.

Defiantly. Shall I tell Saphira?

Yes. And a few minutes later, Rider and dragon disappeared into a cloud.

"Where did Eragon go?" sarcasm dripped from my every word. Sooner or later they came back. Eragon's soaked clothes clung to him like static, outlining every muscle. Saphira's scales gleamed in the sun. We flew on, straight towards the elven city of Ellasmera.

EPOV

We finally landed in the outskirts of Ellasmera just as the last beams of sunlight slipped behind the horizon. Aurora's pale skin seemed to glow with a reddish light when the rays touched her.

The elves better have an extremely good reason for my bringing her here. I thought.

They do.

Sometimes having a smart-alek dragon hearing your every thought was really annoying. I turned back to Aurora. Her golden hair waved in the wind, like a yellow cape of silk. Her what was left of her white dress was tattered and torn. She was albino... almost as pale as Durza. Durza. The Shade brought back terrible memories. Pain, just overwhelming pain. A tap on the shoulder brought me back to reality.

"Are we going to stay here tonight? Or are we going into the city?" Aurora's sing-song voice rang in my ears. I savored every word. I especially loved how she said we.

"To the city." I think my voice cracked. Did she notice? My heart pounded.

You know, if you two decide on some kind of er, relationship, I wouldn't object. Saphira whispered.

What do you mean? I nev--

'I see the way you look at her. A lovesick look.' She cut me off 'But just so that you know, she knows... and doesn't really care. She doesn't return the feeling.' Saphira added. I sighed. Soon I would never see her again... but perhaps in battle. Nasuada's orders were to go to Ellasmera and return. But later Aurora came along and I recived new orders- from Arya. So I would leave the next morning.

"Best to tell Aurora now." I muttered.

"Tell me what?" She said.

"What? You heard that? Well, um, it's just that, well, rather," I stuttered.

Just say that you love her and that you were ordered to leave. And that you will try to contact her if you can.

"Aurora, I, well, I love you and I was ordered my Arya to go back to Surda as soon as possible. I will contact you if I can." I blurted. Man, I sound stupid! But she didn't seem to mind. She blushed.

"I get it. You are a man of action, not of words." And she turned on her heel and just walked away!

WTF?!

Language Eragon.

I know. But it's just... I DON'T UNDERSTAND HER!!!

Lets go. So they all started to walk towards the elven city. I turned back the other way, to wait for Saphira. I was no longer alowed into the city for some reason. That was the last I ever saw of Aurora.

THE END.
