Ch. 3 – The Dream
In the last chapter, Eragon and Arya are within Belatona's reach so they go to sleep. Eragon has a dream.
Everything was changing colours and becoming distorted, when all of a sudden, everything went back to normal. Eragon didn't know where he was. It was definitely somewhere he hadn't been before. He saw people he didn't know of. He saw Arya. He yelled at her but nothing came out of his mouth except air. Arya was walking fairly fast, so Eragon had to almost run to keep up with her.
Eragon followed her through every building, cave and market place that she went. She was the only person that was even remotely familiar to him. Then he saw Hrothgar, Orik, many other dwarves and elves.
What were they doing outside of the Varden? Eragon thought to himself. Where is Saphira?
Then there was a huge explosion. Everyone started running. Eragon had to run to keep up with everyone. It was as if he was in slow-motion. He lost sight of everyone except for Arya. She was standing in the middle of where all the explosions had been going off. Eragon tried to yell at her but, he still couldn't make any noise out of his voice. Eragon could see another explosion coming but, Arya wouldn't move. Then the explosion hit her. Eragon couldn't look so he turned his head away. When he looked back, Arya's blackened limbs were flying all over the place. Eragon tried to yell and tried to cry, but nothing came out. He didn't know what to do.
Eragon awoke with a huge amount of relief. He was so happy that Arya hadn't actually died. He had thought about all the things that he would've done if she would have actually died.
I might have gone crazy. Eragon thought.
Saphira, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had. Saphira? Eragon tried to contact her but she was out of his reach. Eragon looked around trying to find Arya or Saphira but neither of them were in sight.
Eragon's heart started to race. What would I do without either of them? Eragon thought. I love both of them. If I didn't have Arya I would go crazy and if I didn't have Saphira I would die.
Eragon searched and searched. He wouldn't give up until he found them or he realized they were dead. The second one was not an option for him. He needed them.
Where have Saphira and Arya gone? Was Eragon's dream a premonition? All this and more in the next chapter. Well actually maybe not all of those questions will be in the next chapter. Read and review people. Next chapter I will submit some of the reviews before I start the chapter. If you have questions ask them and I might just answer them.
