Well now that I have joined the group I can just sit back and enjoy the ride. While I was talking to the group, with my mind I tried to convince Arya to reconsider her decision. She was of coarse surprised that I new much about magic that and beyond any regular human and so she agreed that I tag along.
We came to a halt to set up camp. I went out to get some more fire wood when I heard yelling. I ran back as fast as I could and saw Eragon writhing in pain. It looked like his back was hurting him.
"I can help him," I said in a calm voice. "But you must swear in the ancient language to never reveal this to anyone." Arya was the first to swear and after much help so did the dwarves.
I put my hand on Eragon's shoulder and concentrated. Soon my hands started to glow a bright yellow and Eragon stopped moving and was fast asleep. I picked him up and lay him in his tent.
"What was that? I've never seen anything like it." Said Arya in a calm voice. She had a steady expression, something many elves do I guess.
I lie back against a tree and let out a sigh. 'That took more energy out of me than I had expected.' It looked like that wasn't only a wound of the flesh.
"That," I began "Was my own type of magic. I will not explain to you what kind of magic it was but at least it worked. For now at least he can rest in peace."
Arya of coarse didn't like this answer. She got up and went to go sit by Eragon's side. I sat against the tree and listened to the night. Later I heard a rustling and Eragon came from his tent. He looked quite angry. He came to get his food and one of the dwarves said "You bear a heavy burden Shadeslayer." He grumbled something and moved on.
While he and the dwarves were talking I announced that I would be sleeping in the woods because it helps me think. Knowing I was being followed I took a series of twists and turns and stopped behind a tree.
I suspected it was Arya since know one could have followed me like this except an elf. And sure enough she came around the corner looking left and right.
"You need something?" I asked. She turned around quickly and glared at me. I can see this because I directed my power into my eyes so that I can see clearer.
"Yes, well I was wondering where you were going?" she said still staring at me for any sign as to my true intention. Ah the persistency of an elf.
"I told you sleeping in the forest help me think," I said matter-of-factly "Besides I seriously doubt that is the reason you came all this way to ask me where I was going."
"I would also like to know who you actually are and what your business with us is."
"I will say this once. My name is Theradin and that is all I will say and all you need to know. Now if you don't mind I'd like to get some sleep."
"Yes of coarse." She watched me carefully and left.
Making sure she was truly gone, I used a fraction of my power to jump up and on a branch way up in a tree. 'Now this is more like it.' I took a quick look around and fell fast asleep.
