Hey! I would just like to send out thanks to all those reviewers, alerters, and favoriters! Also, a big round of applause to my beta, Pie-In-The-Face!

Disclaimer: Not MineArya POV

I blinked as the sun hit my tired eyes. I got up out of my bed roll and stretched a bit to feel more awake. I saw two empty bed rolls -Eragon and Ororom's. A little pang of fear hit me. It didn't last for long, though. I heard their voices not far off. Following the sound, I stumbled across a sight that cast a rare smile on my face.

Eragon and Ororom were both holding wooden swords. They hadn't noticed me yet so I leaned against a tree and watched the scene unfold in front of me.

"So when I attack like this," said Eragon and slowly moved his wooden sword towards Ororom's head. "You block…"

"Like this," said Ororom as he brought his play sword to meet Eragon's. Ororom smiled and giggled as Eragon praised him.

"Alright. Let's put everything together. Ready?" Ororom nodded.

Eragon stabbed at Ororom and he sidestepped. Ororom slashed at Eragon and he blocked it. They exchanged blows for a minute. Then Ororom lunged at Eragon. Eragon moved a little bit and lowered his stance.

As I watched, a small smile appeared on my face as I saw what Eragon was doing. When Ororom stabbed, his wooden sword slid between Eragon's arm and side. Eragon fell to his knees when Ororom pulled his sword back.

Eragon let out a fake cry of pain. "Ah! You got me!" Ororom smiled as Eragon acted out the injury.

"Excellent job, Ororom!" I said as I stepped into view. "Only a select few have been able to defeat Eragon in a duel."

"Arya!"

"Mommy!" Came the two responses at once.

I smiled. "Come on you two. Eragon can't take another defeat in the same day."

Eragon scowled. "Says the one how slept the whole day away." I rolled my eyes at him, causing him to chuckle.

Eragon looked down at Ororom and said, "You get to have a well-deserved rest while Arya and I pack up camp.

We have been walking since morning to early evening. Surprisingly, we've covered a lot of distance, though we have been running. My thoughts were interrupted by Ororom shouting, "Mommy, I can see the castle!"

I looked towards him on Eragon's shoulders. Again, it shocked me by how much they looked alike. I replied, "Ororom, honey, I can see it too. We should be there by sundown."

He smiled wide and clapped his hands and said, "I can't wait to see Uncle Murty and Aunty Nasu!"

I was about to reply when I was interrupted by Eragon's chuckles. "Ha! Now I have something to tease Murtagh about." He got a really evil grin when he said this. It even made me get a little frightened.

Murtagh POV

Nasuada and I were taking a nice stroll on the paths outside of the city. It was always nice to walk here; it was without the hustle and bustle of the city, and without the worry of getting flagged down by an official who wanted help with plans of some sort of building.

The peace and quiet was interrupted by something I thought I would never hear again in my lifetime, "Ha! Now I have something to tease Murtagh about." It wasn't just the words that scared me, it was the voice. That voice, so familiar. It can't be possible. He died two years ago.

I looked over to Nasuada only to find a look on her face mimicking what I was currently feeling. She looked up at me with her wide eyes and silently conveyed the message: I'm going to go ahead and see what it is.

I nodded and she sped up ahead. I kept walking, even after I couldn't see her anymore. I was quietly worrying for Nasuada. I hope she's okay. I was interrupted out of my thoughts by a shriek of happiness, the sound of running, and someone falling down. I ran over to where Nasuada had run off to. Only to find my wife lying on the ground hugging the life out of the person who I thought I would never, ever, see again. I had the biggest smile plastered on my face. I hadn't been this happy since my wedding day.

Roran POV

I need to visit the capitol. That same sentence has been repeating itself in my mind for the whole day now. It was the weirdest feeling. Why would I want to visit the capitol? I have no need what so ever. It's not like I have family out there, not anymore. Eragon's dead. Arya, Murtagh, and Nasuada are friends, but not family.

The only one that I feel like I have a real connection to is Ororom. But he's Arya's son. Why do I feel that connection? I have always found it very unnerving how much he looked like Eragon. But he and Arya were always just friends. Though, no one knows who Ororom's father is, so who knows?

Katrina POV

Roran seems put off today. Almost like he needs to be somewhere else, and it's not just him. I feel it too. I just don't know what 'it' is. I do know, however, that 'it' seems to be coming from my ring, my wedding ring. My wedding ring that Eragon gave to us.

Eragon POV

I was innocently walking ahead on the path, minding my own business, when I heard footsteps and a familiar whisper. I looked around only to see a flash of red fabric before I was tackled onto the ground by someone who I didn't think I would see in a while.

Nasuada POV

I walked ahead quickly and silently; trying to figure out if it was at all possible, or if it was just a trap. I really hope that it wasn't the latter. I wasn't exactly in the mood for a fight.

You would think that with the war over, all would be safe and sound. Well it isn't. There are still some very staunch families to Galbatorix. They hide in caves in the desert, waiting to attack. Shall any chance like this occur.

Do to the current mind set I was in, I was not prepared to see what I saw before me. Right in front of me was Eragon. But he's dead. This is impossible. But there he is, right in front of me. That and the fact that he is the only one who would openly torment Arya.

Before my mind could process what I was doing, my feet were running in the sand heading towards the direction that Eragon was. I was soon on top of him hugging him with all my might. I was interrupted out of my squeezing spree by a little excited voice shouting, "Aunty Nasu!"

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed it!
