Eragon had had to sleep on that cliff side, when it had been clear that Saphira was not going to be back for a while, he'd curled up to wait for her but he must have dozed off, because he was now being gently nudged awake by an all to familiar warm blue snout.
Little one, little one. Awaken. It is time to leave. Eragon grunted and tried to roll over, only to hit his face on a wall of blue scales. "Ouch." He groaned and lay in his back, looking up at the sky as clearly blue as he had ever seen it with not a cloud in sight. The snout snorted on his face and the warm sweet breath woke him properly, completely.
Are you alright? Did I hurt you?
As a matter of fact, I think I may have broken my nose. But never mind. Look at that sunrise!
He was sitting up now, staring over the tree tops to the horizon beyond and the beauty that lay in its embrace. Warm amber orange and red beams broke sanctity the watery blue sky, and it seemed to shatter at its touch. The trees themselves seemed to enjoy the beams of light, rustling their leaves as if in welcome. Saphira was actually glowing in the rays, light refracting off of her brilliantly blue scales and she looked back at the Sun, sitting next to him. Her eyes twinkled.
It was nice of you to come and see me, little one. Why are you up so early, though?
Not up early. Up late. You see, people without wings tend to find it difficult to get down from extraordinarily steep cliffs from about 100 feet up.
There was a hint of amusement in Saphira's voice when she replied,
How do you manage? Eragon grinned. Then realised something, and groaned,
I need to go back and get my things. Saphira looked at him with one sparkling blue eye.
There is no need. Solembum came about an hour ago with your pack.
Eragon almost hissed, and his hackles definitely rose "Angela must have sent him. Because obviously I'm such an idiot then I can't possibly be able to remember my pack before going on a journey."
"Even if you do say so yourself." Came a reply from behind him
Saphira let out a low chuckle
Solembum didn't leave.
