A/N: Hello guys, Quil here. I'm very excited to introduce Arya in this chapter. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Arya Svit-kona!
Arya
Arya sat on the throne face hardened into her stare that never showed feeling. Vanir, one of the house leaders was relaying a message that he had received by one of his scouts.
"This rebellion must be stopped before it grows into something big Arya, Alagaësia has been in a peaceful state for over a century." Vanir stated. Arya with her emotionless stare stated
" I will relay what you've told me to Eragon, do not worry Vanir this little rebellion of magicians shall be quelled". With that Vanir bowed and walked away. Once the doors were closed she slumped back into the throne with a face of dismay.
"Oh what can we do Fírnen?" Fírnen looked up staring into her eyes "I'm sure Eragon is still busy training his Riders. I do not want to bother him with the uprisings that have been happening in Alagaësia." Fírnen blinked twice then said in his deep rich voice.
"Do not worry little one, contact him, it's been a hundred years I think it's time that he's heard from you. I'm sure he has a council of elders that can look to training his students while he is absent." Arya thought on the prospect then accepted what Fírnen had said. She went into her room and had retrieved a wooden bowl from her desk. Then she looked at the fairth of herself, her eyes now welling with tears. Eragon had made the fairth of her when she first showed him Fírnen, Fírnen seeing that Arya was transfixed on the fairth nudged her with his tail.
"Little one, you will see him again do not worry". Fírnen then put his snout on Arya's forehead
"Thank you Fírnen, I'm glad to have bonded with you"
"As am I little one". Arya then looked at the bowl, filled it with water, then said
"Draumr kópa" The contents then swirled into an image of Eragon who was surrounded by a field of white since she hasn't seen where Eragon and Saphira had settled. "Eragon" she said. Eragon then turned around and looked into the water,
"Arya?" Eragon looked awestruck. She whispered his true name, she knew it wouldn't work, but she wanted to reassure him that it was actually her. He then whispered her true name and her whole being shook in understanding of the name. She smiled the first in what seemed like decades.
" I cannot believe it..after a hundred years of silence I finally get a message from you, what is going on? How are Roran, Katrina, or even Nasuada?"
" Eragon, you seem to forget the fact that we are immortal and they are not" Eragon's smile turned into a grimace.
"And what of Ismira?" he asked. She needed to tell him the news that his niece was a Dragon Rider
"Ismira is here training with us." she answered, "but I'm not here to talk to you about old friends, there is a rebellion that is affecting all of Alagaësia" Eragon's face hardened
" Do you know the cause?" he asked
"No" she answered, "but we do need your help. This rebellion is solely made up of strong magicians who supported Galbatorix's madness." she continued "we need you for this Eragon, you are the only hope that Alagaësia has so far. With the combined might of my people and you we will surely destroy this rebellion to its roots. In the image it seemed that Eragon was consulting with Saphira with what they should do. He got out of his entranced state, then said
"Saphira and I have agreed that we will come settle this rebellion in Alagaësia." he then ended the image with the Word. The way he said his last sentence had taken her aback much more how he ended the image.
"Has he really changed?" she thought to herself, "does Eragon not love me anymore? No, there must be a reason why he said it plainly." Then a thought occurred to her and she smiled. "Eragon has turned into me and I have turned into him. I know he loves me as I love him, but he does not want to show it. He's truly mastered how to control his feelings." And with that she went back to the throne room waiting patiently, but excitingly for her true friend (other than Fírnen) to return.
A/N What'd you think? No one really knows Arya's true feelings so I put what I thought she felt onto paper. Next chapter may be more exciting because once again this is an introduction. Now that I've introduced Arya it is now time to delve deep into some storyline and plot! ;) See you guys next time! And thank you to those who starters following the story, it's not much, but it tells me that you guys like it. Please review, I want to know if I can do anything to improve this story. Plus, let's say Vanir grew up and took leadership for one of the houses.
