Brom smiled as the wind went through his hair, he loved flying with Saphira it was the one time they could be together it was the one thing that reminded them of how life used to be when they were home a time where they could be together without having to worry about responsibilities away from being a dragon rider back to the time of just being friends. "This is great Saphira" he said putting his arms above his head
Saphira chuckled "I know" She landed in a nearby meadow and Brom got off and smiled bringing his hand through his curly brown hair he looked up at the sky not a cloud in the sky. He saw Saphira lay down and he went and laid down next to her and closed his eyes.
"This is nice…to get away from everything" Brom said
Saphira nodded "Yes it is no one listening to every thing you say"
Brom laughed and turned his head as he did he saw something that brought a tear to his eye a purple flower with blue streaks on its petals; he gently stroked the flower with his finger "I haven't seen one of these in a long time"
Saphira lifted her head to see what he was talking about "Oh Brom its so beautiful"
Brom smiled as he looked at the flower and reached to pick it "Isn't this nice Brom? " Brom blinked and the sound of his mother's voice
Serena walked over to a three year old Brom her blond hair falling over her shoulders and her white dress sweeping in the wind she picked him up and kissed his cheek then she looked over at the little boy with black hair "Morzan please stay out of trouble"
"Yes mama" Morzan said running towards the stream
Serena smiled down at Brom then looked out at the meadow the wind blowing her hair around her face
"MOMMY!!!" Morzan yelled from the creek
Serena looked to the creek "Morzan?" she yelled running to the creek when she got there on the ground lay Morzan. She rushed over to him putting Brom on the ground next to him she checked his pulse she then looked around from what had caused him to get hurt. She heard a twig crack she look towards the sound and raised her hand a purple streak coming out of her hand an urgle fell from behind a tree she. The small Brom clapped at the pretty color she bent down to Morzan again "Honey wake up"
"Serena?" a voice came from behind her she turned slowly looking at the man
"You" she said slowly standing up to face him "Please leave" she said but her voice cracked the man shook his head
"I can't… I should have never left you Serena" he said
Tears filled her eyes "You have to…I have a husband and two children"
"I love you and I always will" the man stepped closer and put his hand on her arm
She looked at his hand "Galbatorix…you have to go"
"Leaving you was the worst thing I have ever done, I should have never chose and mission over you and I'm sorry" he said "I should have been there…if I was he might still be alive"
"Please don't" she said shaking her head
Galbatorix put his hand behind her head stroking her hair then moved forward and kissed her she kissed him back. She pulled away first resting her head on his "I can't do this…I have left you in my past"
"Serena please" He said tears filling his eyes as she left his arms backing up
She shook her head "You and Isaac are forever gone to me…I am sorry" she reached down to pick up Brom as she did she fell to her knees getting very dizzy Galbatorix rushed over
"Serena? Are you alright?" he asked putting his hands on her shoulders
She looked at him "I'm fine"
He shook his head "Your using to much magic…your body is wearing out"
"No its not I am fine"
"Serena you are not as strong as you used to be and without him you will die if you don't stop using it…using such powerful spells"
"I don't use powerful spells"
"Serena killing an urgle with one look without even uttering a word…even I can't do that and I still have Lilly"
She shrugged her shoulders "Goodbye Galbatorix" she carefully picked up Morzan and Brom leaving Galbatorix standing by the creek
"Serena wait" Galbatorix pleaded he walked over to her "take this at lest" he outstretched his hand. Serena looked at what he was holding it was a purple flower with blue streaks on its petals. Tears came to her eyes as she looked at the beautiful flower
"I haven't seen one of these in years" She half whispered then she shook her head "Sorry I have to go" then she turned and walked away leaving Galbatorix standing hand outstretched the flower falling to the ground and little Brom waving goodbye and giggling.
Brom sat up and shook his head Saphira's head was held up high also she had seen everything he had seen. The flower had brought back a memory that he had long ago forgotten. "Come on Saphira I think we have to talk to someone" Brom said getting angry how had this never come up in a conversation it had been three months since he and Morzan had talked to Galbatorix and since then have been spending a lot of time training with him and spending time. He got back onto Saphira as she took off into the sky.
"How come you have never told me?" Brom said storming into Galbatorix's hut Morzan was sitting in a chair reading a book Galbatorix was writing something on paper. Galbatorix looked up at Brom with a puzzled look "I think we have the right to know don't you?" Morzan stood up and hurried over to him and grabbed his shoulder
"Brom what are you doing?" Morzan hissed
"Let go" Brom said as he ripped his shoulder out of Morzan's grip then went over to the table Galbatorix was sitting at "So how about now?" he asked him
"My dear boy I have no idea what you are talking about" Galbatorix said with a slight chuckle then went back to writing
"Does the name Isaac mean anything to you or Serena?" he asked
Galbatorix froze and slowly looked at Brom "How do you know those names?" he asked
Morzan looked between the two trying to figure out what they knew that he didn't
"How do you know those names?" he repeated again standing up
"Why do they mean something to you?" Brom asked not intimidated by Galbatorix as Morzan would be
"Brom" Morzan whispered "Just tell him how you know the names"
Brom shook his head "He doesn't scare me" then he returned his attention to Galbatorix "So how about an answer"
Galbatorix looked down and shook his head "How do you know the names?"
Morzan stopped and thought for a second "Wait Brom...do you mean Serena as in mother?"
Galbatorix looked from one brother to the other "You are Serena's sons?"
Brom nodded "It would have been nice to know you knew our mother...you didn't just know her you loved her"
Galbatorix looked at Brom and shook his head "No I never loved her"
"Yes you did... the way you looked at her...I could tell you loved her" Brom argued
"And how would you know what love is boy!" Galbatorix raised his voice
"Because you looked at her the way I look at Aurora" He paused "You said it was your fault Isaac was dead...Who Isaac was and how come my mother could use magic"
"How is she?" Galbatorix asked his face changed from anger to hope, hope that she was ok and happy proud of her two sons
Brom looked down "She died years ago...in a fire"
Galbatorix shook his head "Fire wouldn't have killed her"
"She was very sick" Morzan answered before Brom would
Galbatorix shook his head "She wasn't sick her body wore out"
Both boys gave a puzzled look he looked at the two the beaconed at two chairs "Sit...this is going to take awhile" He paused as the two sat down "Your mother wasn't an ordinary women...she was special"
Morzan and Brom still gave a puzzled looks and Galbatorix smiled "Let me explain and tell you about your mother and of our past."
