YESSSS! Dreams of Fate has finally gotten over 1,000 hits!
YAYZ! N'kay, so on with the story.
I have found a major problem with Eragon and Onyx's romance.
There wasn't one! So forgive me if the next couple chaps are
constantly referring to it. I have been wanting to write a bit of sappiness!
YEARN! (inside joke)

You made that up yourself? Vrangr asked me. We were back at my treehouse, and I had just finished writing down a song that I had thought of years ago. It was about not giving up in the face of everything blah-blah-blah.

Yep. It's okay, right? Nothing wrong?

I think so. It seems to fit the times. War, suffering, and drama are easy to write about.

True. The song...It...reminds me of my family.

Miss them?

Yes, so much. The world here is amazing and all, but sometimes I feel like something's missing.

Not everything can be perfect all the time. You are here Onyx, here to help this world. They all need you.

I know. Life's never perfect, but I feel like Alagaesia is where I'm meant to be. It's the world where I can actually do something to help people. At first, it was you keeping me coming back, but now there's something else.

You mean someone. I'm not surprised. You and Eragon always seem happier together.

I sighed, thinking of the rider. He was the exact opposite of so very many boys in the modern world. Unselfish, brave, and an all-around amazing person.

Onyx, you have very strong feelings for him.

I won't deny it. Eragon is a great person. And he only lost his temper when trying to beat Vanir.

Every day after training the two of us would take a walk through the forest. We'd talk about everything, our respective homes, how life was, the pure insanity of being a dragon rider. In just a few months, I felt like Eragon already understood me more than most people back home.

You are very lucky to have someone like him. I approve.

Yeah. Thanks, Vrangr.

It's not like you needed my approval. But remember, nobody can keep their feelings a secret forever. If you don't tell him, things could start spiraling out of control.

Eragon Shadeslayer, a person who, less than a year ago, I thought was fictional. I knew that I loved him. But what I did not know was if he felt the same. In the books, he fell for Arya. They never spent much time together, but I couldn't pretend not to be jealous.

Onyx, just ask him! He needs to know. And soon.

Vrangr, I will tell him someday, but I don't know how.

And not knowing was killing me.

Eragon POV

Does she even care?

Eragon, if you keep thinking like that, I will drop you out of this tree. Eragon was agonizing over his feelings for a certain black-winged girl.

But Saphira, if I tell her and she dosen't feel the same, what then?

I can't believe you are so blind! Have you ever seen the way she looks at you?

No, I...

Eragon, when I was distressed about the lack of other dragons in Alagaesia, you comforted me by saying that we would save the eggs someday, and find the other dragons in this world. But now the person who seems so confident can't even admit how he feels!

I'm just waiting for the right time. But maybe after the Agaeti Blodhren.

You'd better, or I will tell her myself!

Saphira, you wouldn't.

She's perfect for you. I don't know why you can't find the words to say it

I know, but human romances are a bit more complicated than those of dragons.

Eragon sighed. There was probably no one else that could match him so completely. The both of them had lost their families, left everything behind because of their dragons. Onyx understood him better than anyone else, and coming from another world, that meant a lot. She was the closest one to him besides Saphira. She maintained her sarcastic demeanor, even while respecting the elves sense of respect. Eragon had never met anyone like her. He'd tried to suppress his feelings for her, but that wasn't working any more.

He really did love Onyx. The question was how to say it.

Awww, drama! It's so much fun!
The next chap will begin the Agaeti Blodhren.
Sorry I'm late on the updating. I've been busy, and didn't
really know how to write this chapter. So it's kinda short.
Sorry!
