Nobody slept that night , everyone was to busy thinking of their personal problems.
Kira was thinking about the promise , he made to Arya , about not thinking about his father, Jana was trying to cry herself to sleep which unfortunately didn't work while Ketu was trying to comfort her , Eragon was busy trying to recover from being drunk that night out of jealousy towards Kira , Saphira was busy lecturing him about being reckless because of love , and Arya was thinking about who should she pick.
Arya s room...
Arya was lying in her bed staring at the Black Morning Glory Flower, thinking about the two men.
" Eragon is so young, that I view him as a child, he's only sixteen years old, yet he still woos after me and confesses his love towards me even though I rejected him twice now. But I've come to enjoy his company. On the other hand , Kira is already twenty one years old, but still, he's too young, even though his life is actually the same as mine from now on, since he received the Yawe symbol, and he's already a full rider, Eragon is only half a rider. And I have to admit, I do fine Kira attractive even if he's not in his Elf form,
Black hair, dark chocolate brow eyes even though I prefer his blue crystal eyes when he's an elf. ...wait..wait..what am I thinking?No matter what form he takes...he still human..in the end...I can't believe that I actually...thought for a moment that he was attractive...he's beneath me..".
Arya buried her face in her pillow, " What should...I do?...please Faolin..if you can here me in the after life...what choice should I make?..I promise myself that I would never ...fall in love again when I lost you...I just don't want to get hurt again...I don't want to feel that same feeling..of loosing someone I love again...first father...and then you..."
Tears were slowly falling from her face now, She wiped them away and got up. The wind was blowing the curtains open, and the sun was slowly rising. " I will let destiny and faith decide"
When sunrise came, the riders left their domains , Eragon and Jana flew together towards Oromis s hut, while Arya rode on Falkor with Kira while carrying Areya in her arms. They met Vanir in the training field, he had his bow and sword with him prepared for battle.
Meanwhile at Oromis...
Eragon was just finishing the last obstacle of his training, the last and final Rimgar. Saphira and Ketu, was with Glaedr, he was teching the how to fly in a extreme wind current. Oromis was busy teaching Jana the Ancient language. " The word for fire is Brisingr, Jierda is for hit or break, to knock someone out or to put a person in a deep sleep you should say Slytha, and to produce a shield you should yell out Skolir."
Oromis finished explaining a few more words , he then beckoned for Jana to try out the spells in a clearing.
Back at the Sparring field...
Even though Arya was already trained in the ancient language and in combat, Kira still needed to test the her power to it's limits. Vanir was already beaten by her three times in a row , when he finally gave up , and dropped on the grass panting. Arya was a little tired herself but not enough to keep her down.
Vanir looked at Kira and gave him a faint smile, and said, " She really is something..". Kira chuckled , " Aye.." He got up and drew his own blade, and positioned himself in a fighting stance in front of Arya.
" I was beginning to wonder when you would actually fight me" she said to him with a sly smile, and positioned herself . For a moment, neither of them moved, they were waiting for each other to attack first. " Well since I'm the one who's suppose to be training you I guess I'll attack first" said Kira.
He shifted his sword and bended his knees. For a while Arya expected him to jump and lunge at her but instead he just stood there. She looked at him closely and blink. He was gone. Arya jumped backwards and looked at her left and right side.
" Where did he go?". Suddenly something tapped her on the shoulders. She turned her head to see what it was, and there right in front of her was Kira with his blade pointed at her back. He smiled and said, "Dead.."
Arya just stood there with a dumb look on her face while he walked back and sat down on the grass, and started talking to Vanir. " He was so fast..I..I couldn't even see where he went...I just blinked , and he was gone...can someone really be that fast?..." she thought to herself. Areya entered her mind and started laughing,
" You were so slow!..you were not even that close to beating him!...hahaha." the dragon was actually teasing her. Arya was frustrated by the fact that a human actually beat her. " Fine!...I will make it m goal to beat him then...from now on. Said Arya in angry tone back to her dragon.
Two weeks passed by with little success . Eragon had finish his training , and was planning to go back to the Varden to help Nasuada prepare for the battle. Arya was close to finishing her training, all she had to do was beat Kira in a duel. Jana was making little progress, since she kept daydreaming about Eragon, even though she knew that she shouldn't.
Later that night, before Eragon s departure to Varden, Oromis announced that Jana should go with Eragon to Varden , and fight, so she would have experience before the final battle at Urbaen.
When everyone was asleep Jana slipped out of the tree house with Ketu, and ran towards the lake near the glade. She had this evil look in her eye as she stared into the water. She chanted the incantation to scry someone. When she had finish, there before, her in the lake, staring back at her was Murtagh and Gabatorix. Jana knelt on one leg and bowed her head. "I have come my masters.." Ketu landed right beside her , and repeated her words.
Gabatorix gave a menacing smile and gave an evil laugh. " Jana...It's nice to see you again..my apprentice..give me a full report on what the elves have planned". Said Gabatorix. Jana nodded , and started telling him about, Eragon completing his training and that he is returning to Varden. " And Kira?"
" Yes master Gabatorix..I've met him he is the third dragon rider...he seems to resemble her same courageous spirit...and might I ask...what did happen to the real pathetic Jana?..."
Gabatorix gave her an evil menacing look, "Oh..I took care of her...permanently...It was a perfect plan to copy her appearance and transfer it to you...now all she thats left her...well, lets just say that my remaining Ra'zac s had a good dinner...hahaha!..."
"Now no one will be able to tell that your not the real Jana because the read one is already dead!"
Jana was now smiling so wide. " I can't wait to see that look in Kira s face when he finds out..first his idiotic father, Brom, and now his pathetic sister...her death will break him!" she said with an evil voice.
Gabatorix told Murtaugh to leave the room so he won't be able to hear the rest of the conversation.
" Now listen to me my daughter..when you go into battle with Eragon.. I want you to kill him as soon as Murtaugh arrives with the reinforcement...I don't trust him that much anymore..something is different about him...remember as soon as you kill Eragon..the tides will turn..and we will finally be ably to crush the Varden!." And with that he departed.
Jana stood up shaking, not knowing what to do. " Kill Eragon?...but..I..can't..I" she thought to herself.
" DO NOT MESS THIS UP!" Ketu screamed inside her head. " This our chance to prove our worth to Gabatorix" he said to her in a warning voice.
" We are bound to him just like Murtaugh...our fate rests in his hands..he can destroy us whenever he wants..so don't mess this up!..you have to kill Eragon!..no matter how much you like him ! Even though he doesn't like you, remember..his heart belongs to Arya! He finished his lecture and flew back to the tree house.
Jana shut her eyes and turned her hand into a fist. " Arya.. I will destroy you..I will not kill Eragon..but I will kill you...so I can win his heart..and Murtaugh will take care of Kira..but Kira has always been there when I need him even if I'm not his sister..after he found out three years ago...and that I made up a fib that his sister used magic to entrust her appearance to me...so I can spy on Brom.. ..he still took me in...he really care about me..but now he starting to like that Arya....She thought to herself. Tears were streaming down her face
" What should I do?"
Hey guys I'm back in action and now it's time for my first poll
should the fake Jana of evil royalty, kill Eragon? Or not
and who should end up with who? Since Jana and Kira aren't really sister and brother should they end up together? Or should Kira end up with Arya?
Should Arya fall in love with Eragon or should Jana end up with Eragon?
Take your pick!
I'll update soon!.
