A/N: Here we go


"OH MY GOD! WE ARE GOING TO MEET KINGS AND QUEENS!" Cheese yelled hysterically while stepping out from the bus.

Eragon, Blodhgarm, and the kids have just arrived to the dragon riders' hall.

Eragon walked to Saphira,

Little One, how was your trip?

It was fun Saphira! You should experienced it yourself!

Maybe.. Have I ever told you how childish you actually are?

Childish?

Mmhm

So, is there any problem when I was away?

No, but, Lifaen would like to talk to you about your coming time-wasting political meeting

Okay

Eragon left Saphira's side and talked to Lifaen who is facing a mirror.

"Lifaen, Saphira said that you want to talk to me about the upcoming meeting?"

"That was right Eragon. I have contacted Queen Nasuada, Arya Drottning, King Orrin, Orik Konungr, and Nar Garzhvog. I told them to wait us for contacting them this night."

"Thank you so much Lifaen. But, how could you contact the elves in the Du Weldenvarden? They have wards from scrying right?"

"Oh, about that, Arya Drottning has ordered the Elves to lowered the wards from scrying. It was for time efficiency when the Elven Ambassadors for each race in Alagaesia wants to report their works."

"It sounds good."

"Yes it is. Now, have you told the kids about the meeting?"

"I have, and they were too excited when I told them."

Lifaen smiled,

"Good, now, tell them to prepare themselves."

Saphira?

What is it Little One?

Don't you think the Elves seem more expressive these days?

I do Little One, maybe it is because the war is finally over

So, mm, do you think Arya will be more expressive too?

Awww, so, my Little One already misses his 'no one'?

Saphira! Wait, 'no one'? What do you mean by that?

Well, I want to said 'his lover', but she did not accepted you yet, and I want to said 'his friend', but she is more than a friend for you, I want to say 'his family', but you and her is not a sibling, nor cousin, nor husband and wife!

Saphira stop! I am not the only one who misses 'someone'…

Yes, that's right. But, my 'someone' is my Lover. He accepted me.. So, not like you, I am sure that when we meet again, we will be happy together!

Eragon shook his head. He never wins when arguing with her. But, Saphira's words brought up the old wounds he tried to forget.

Fine. Say it as you wish..

I am sorry Little One, I didn't mean it.. Saphira sent waves of comforting and warm feelings, trying to cheer up her rider.

Thank you Saph, I love you my dragon

And I, you my rider


"Cheese, tell your friends to prepare themselves for the meeting." Eragon said to Cheese.

"Got it. Guys! Attention please!" Cheese half-yelled.

The kids now are paying attention to Cheese.

"As we know already, we will meet The Kings and Queens, so, prepare yourself. Do any of you have any idea of what will we wear tonight?"

Silent overcome the hall.

A boy raised his hand,

"How about the tux and dresses we brought for the school party?"

Murmured agreements heard from the kids.

"Okay, it settled then. Wear your tux boys, and your dresses girls!"


After a while, the kids finally finished their preparation. And they show themselves to their hosts.

The boys are wearing black trousers, white 'tunic', and something looks like a black 'jacket' made from smooth material. And the girls, well, they wear dresses. Simple dresses. Not as fancy as Nasuada's or any rich woman's gown Eragon ever see before.

"We're ready."

The mirror was wide and planted into the wall, when it doesn't used as scrying mirror, it turned into a glass, like a wide window.

Lifaen speak the enchantments, and the mirror starts to glow. When the glow fades, the images splitted, so there are six faces on each different side of it.

The first one is Nasuada, followed by Arya, Orik, Orrin, Grimr Halfpaw, and Nar Garzhvog.

Eragon placed himself in front of the mirror,

"Good Night, Kings and Queens of Alagaesia," he bowed.

"Get up. Your ranks are higher than us, and you know it." Orik said.

"Well then, thanks for your acceptance of this meeting. So, to not waste our time further, I would like to tell you that, we are not alone. There are peoples and countries in the outside of Alagaesia."

"Are you sure about this Firesword?" Nar Garzhvog sounds unconvinced.

"Of course I am. Few days ago, a group of humans from outside of Alagaesia arrived here. They sleep here for they could not find their way back home. So, do you want to meet them?" Eragon raised his eyebrows. He saw Arya's face and his heart forgot how to beat.

"Bring them here Eragon." Her voice was just as he remembered. Strong, determinated, commanding, maybe cold for some people, yet for Eragon, her voice is the most beautiful music Eragon ever heard.


"Aryaaa! There's a call for you!" Angela's voice tore the Queen's dream.

Arya got to her feet rapidly.

"Go! Change your cloth!"

Arya went to her wardrobe and opened it. She took the nearest pair of legging, a tunic, and her boots. She took Tamerlein and her bow.

Firnen, please be ready for a long flight

For what?

Just in case.

Arya went to the scrying room beside her bedroom. There, Angela has waiting for her. Angela's face relaxed and contented. Even showing a bit of longing in her eyes.

"Angela, what happened?"

"Lifaen has just contacted us, well, me. He said, they will contact us this night, for an important matter they founded on their journey. And, Nasuada, Orik, Nar Garzhvog, Grimmr, and Orrin will be informed too about this. So, I guess, this is really important. And, Arya.. why do you wearing this 'stuff'? Are you going somewhere?"

"No! I just.. well, just in case they'd need me."

Angela shook her head,

"Well, I just have to dress you with proper dress right?"

"I do-"

"Shh.. This night 'meeting' is so important. You should wear something that increase your aura as a Queen. And makes you look more commanding, wise, and beautiful. A-"

"Fine, fine. Dress me as you want." Arya interrupted.

" -nd that will makes Eragon's heart stopped." Angela finished.

"Angela! Stop do that!"

"Do what? Violating your 'friend'?"

"That and acting as if Eragon and I is a couple! We are just friends!"

"Just 'friends'? Well, let's see.. Shoo! Go to your wardrobe! We should make haste!"

After an hour of choosing and arguing, finally, Angela The Herbalist makes Arya Drottning to wear a green forest dress. With beautiful gold designs on the edges and the waist. Arya wear her crown.

"Don't you think this dress is too fancy?" Arya asked.

"No. There is nothing too fancy for a queen. Beside, this is the simplest dress in your wardrobe."

Arya nodded, then, went to her balcony, enjoying the sunset. Bats and owls started to wake up, while deers and doves started to sleep.

The world seems perfect.

Arya spread her mind to her surrounding. Closing her eyes.

A squirrel just get to his home near Arya's balcony. He bought nuts in his mouth. He stopped in front of his nest. Then, a beautiful female squirrel comes out and they seems to communicate.

Arya separate her mind from the squirrel. She opened her eyes. The darkness has covered the sky. With stars that just started to glow on the eastern sky.

A hand tapped her shoulder.

"Arya, what are you doing outside? The meeting is just about to begin." Angela get back to the inside as she finished her sentences.

The Night has the Days. And the Moon has the Sun.

Arya went to the scrying room. Waiting for any kind of contact, while Angela reading scrolls behind her.

The mirror started to glow. The glow vanished. Replaced by Eragon's picture from head to toe. He wears black trouser and blue tunic. Brisingr attached to his belt. And he use his cape.

"Good Night, Kings and Queens of Alagaesia," he bowed.

"Get up. Your ranks are higher than us, and you know it." Orik's voice heard from the mirror.

"Well then, thanks for your acceptance of this meeting. So, to not waste our time further, I would like to tell you that, we are not alone. There are peoples and countries in the outside of Alagaesia." Eragon said after straighten his posture.

"Are you sure about this Firesword?" Nar Garzhvog sounds unconvinced.

"Of course I am. Few days ago, a group of humans from outside of Alagaesia arrived here. They sleep here for they could not find their way back home. So, do you want to meet them?" Eragon raised his eyebrows.

"Bring them here Eragon."
