Eragon woke once again disappointed as the first rays of dawn touched his shoulders. He opened his eyes and sighed. For it was but a dream. Not but a lowly memory.

Tears, he wiped them away. Today was the thirteenth day of the tenth month. Today he would go to the caves.

He only went to the caves four times a year. Once on The Anniversary of Saphira's death. Once on the anniversary of Arya's death and once on the day of what would have been the Blood oath Ceremonies.

On that day Arya had made her feelings known to him a year after he had confessed his feelings for her and once on the anniversary of the day that he had hidden himself within them. He had taken everything that he had brought with him to this place that would give Hope any clue or keys to his past. He had in away locked away his identity within them.

He sighed softly. Today he would go to the caves in remembrance of Sphira's death.

The caves where near the place he had come to acctcept as home.

It would never be home though. Home. He hadn't thought of home in a long time.

In all truth he tried not to. Tried not to think of anything that was even remotely related to his past life. He could hide from his memories during the day but it was the nights that where unbearable.

He would wake sometimes drenched in sweat after enduring a night full of flashbacks to the time of his imprisonment in Uru'bean. Then though less often he would wake with a smile only to have it fade as he relised it was but a dream.

Eragon sighed and shook his head trying without success to ride his mind of the memories that where flooding his mind. He needed to be gone before Hope woke. Eragon was extremely paranoid and cautious when it came to his daughter. He hated leaving her alone. If only for a few mere hours.

So he felt it best if she didn't know how long he was really gone. She wasn't a late sleeper but magic could make her one. She would wake up and then an hour or so later he'd be back.

He got out of bed, grabbed his water skin and headed for the door. He pulled the door back and was greeted much to his shock by a familiar face.

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady

Men's shirts-short skirts
