Chapter 1: His time in Alagaesia

"How tall the trees,how bright the stars . . . and how beautiful you are, O Arya Svit-kona." said Eragon as a wind seemed to pick up in a small area farther from him and Arya, who stiffened. "Eragon..."

Inspite her warning Eragon continued, "Arya, I'll do anything to win your hand. I would follow you to the ends of the earth. I would build a palace for you with nothing but my bare hands. I would-"

"Will you stop pursuing me? Can you promise me that?" Eragon hesitated, Arya stepped closer and said in a low and gentle voice, "Eragon, This can not be-"

"Of course it can Arya, Princess of the Elves" said a male voice unfamiliar to them both, "Eragon new rider, immortal as I, I commend you for finding love while you are yet so young, Angela's prediction is true as always" said the male when they turned to him they saw him, red hair as red as fire, eyes black no white to be seen, skin a slight tan only sign he was no shade.

"Who are you?" asked Arya and the male smiled, "I am Flare, master of darkness and king of the elementals, a ruler of one of many countries in my dimention" said Flare

"I know not of any master of darkness that has yet to loose his soul" said Arya and Flare smiled sadly, "I have but lost mine, when the love of my heart died at the hand of the man I once called friend" said Flare

"Meaning?" asked Eragon knowing he shouldn't pry but from what he learned from Oromis he tried to look at his mind only for him to be greeted with a look from Flare whom felt his touch, "You would do well, Shadeslayer, to keep out of which you would never understand, even Arya's mind would be less complex then my own" said Flare

---

"How is it a human would have a mind so complex it is even more complex then our own race's?" asked Arya after her mother tried to scan his mind for any deceit but could not even navigate it. "For as I said I am not of this dimension, but rather of one where dark users and light users have co-existed for centuries" said Flare and Eragon, fed up with being in the dark spoke up, "Just what is a dark user?" he asked and Flare smiled softly, "A dark user is just that one whom uses the darkness to do his will, whether it be good as me, or evil as many turn. the main truth about darkness you should know is that it is a selfish thing, unlike light which is a unselfish element, all creatures, no matter who or what it is has both light and dark in it, I am a prime example of one who has more darkness in him but has not fallen" said Flare as he suddenly shot his arms out and portals appeared, and he closed his eyes and heard the screams of the people all the way in Gil'ead and then the roar of a dragon, "It seems Twilight is here causing pain" said Flare snarling as his body seemed to burst into flame and lightning crackled off him, "He has to learn that even though I can not die I will not let him do as he wishes!" he said as darkness surrounded him, "Fire, lightning, acid, and wind heed my call" was the last thing they heard before he disappeared from their forest kingdom

---

"TWILIGHT!" called Flare as he appeared in Gil'ead, the portals had not closed but neither did they seem to allow anything through besides the sounds, "Dark user I've already thanked you for freeing me even if you tried to kill me afterwards" said Twilight and Flare smirked, "I am your enemy and always was, I am FLARE! THE MASTER OF DARKNESS!" he said as the shadows from Gil'ead seemed to float up to him, "I summon the entity of Yin, the one whom embodied the darkness to save the world from itself while his brother embodied the light to protect the world from the darkness" said Flare not only in the ancient language it seemed as they could feel a little of every language in his speech, "FLARE! THAT EXCUSE FOR A DARK USER WHOM IMPRISONED ME!" said Twilight as he attacked Flare whom dodged and flare grinned, "Your imprisonment must have dulled your skills though I know not of how powerful you were as I have not imprisoned you yet, or at least I haven't done so myself yet while I already have if that makes any sense..." said Flare already confused.

---

"What?" asked Eragon and the elves just shrug, but Arya blinked, "I'm more confused now then about what he told you when we met him in that clearing..." she said and Oromis turned to Eragon, "What did he say?" he asked and Eragon sighed and said: "Eragon new rider, immortal as I, I commend you for finding love while you are yet so young, Angela's prediction is true as always, is what he told me, and from that I get the feeling he knew who I was for a long time, he even knew I was immortal!" said Eragon and Oromis felt disturbed how had this human-like creature known of that? with no answer forth coming he decided to watch the events unfold

---

"I hope you have friends here so they can watch you suffer!" taunted Twilight as he charged at Flare whom still calm dodged, "Unlike last time Twilight I am not exhausted from breaking that door that held you!" said Flare as he drew a blade that suddenly shone like the sun though it was night(A/N: Oops forgot that little detail...), "Gaze upon Incrish and know despair, Twilight, as this blade means nothing but death for you" said Flare as he suddenly stabbed Twilight in the heart only to here a evil laughter, "Fool all you have done is lock me out of this dimension know that when I return for you it will never be here, no, not here, I can never return even if you can" said Twilight laughing as he slowly faded from view and Flare's ability to sense him

"Darkness is your foe Galbatorix as much as is light and the very earth opposes you Wardfell master, be sure that the day Eragon drives his blade, the blade of not your most trusted friend, but rather a blade made by the elf whom can make no blades, the blade that will bring fear to your soul for it was his first spell, I will be there and I will empower him with powers beyond that of the elves at their peak, and the dragons when the magic runs through them, could muster!" said Flare as his black eyes seemed to glow an eerie light, "I AM FLARE, MASTER OF DARKNESS!!" he shouted int the sky before suddenly falling uncontious and without his direction to keep the wind holding him in the air he started to fall and then a portal opened up just below him and he appeared in the Elves' forests again

---

"Why are you so hard to understand Airwalker?" said a feminine voice and Flare's face, though he was not entirely conscious, frowned, "Leave my mind stranger, it is a dangerous place, even for me" said Flare mentally as his consciousness grew more awake before his eyes opened his face pulled into a smile, "Love for love and darkness for the light, Eragon Shadeslayer you have my word that I will aid you in any venture you pursue, as I owe that much to Angelia" he said out loud knowing the young dragon rider was there, "Who?" he asked and Flare smiled eyes still closed, "The one whom I loved, the one whom I lost more then I can bare" said Flare as his eyes shot open and he sat up.

"Rest Airwalker" said the queen and Flare smiled, "The Dragons are not all dead as you have them believe queen of the elves, their heart of hearts are still intact and Galbatorix has most of them does he not?" asked Flare and the queen and Oromis who had just walked in paled before faster then most could see Oromis charged at Flare only for his own blade to be against his throat, "Master rider, I am faster then an elf, smarter then a dragon, and more powerful then that creature you call a tree, it's very mind is bare for me to see rider, and many an ore that made your blades lays underneath The were-cat's message when you need a weapon look under the tree is that, and the blade of fire shall rise forth" said Flare his eyes fierce as a mad man yet his posture calming and voice equal to that of a blade made of ice

"You have seen this?" asked the queen and Flare laughed and spoke, "Seen? no I have read it, the book of knowledge is my tome and knows your fate as well elves just as for you Eragon in many a dimension of this land, one of them Galbatorix is not the evil one but you and the Varden are the true evil the elves along side you and the dwarves helping whom ever strikes their gold fancy for the year" said Flare as he suddenly laughed with the madness of a fool, "Many things I tell you you will never understand till the day all of you leave this land Arya, Eragon, Saphira, and Queen" said Flare his eyes sparking.

"You are a fool, Airwalker" said a rough female voice one that made Flare smile, "Ah the one who will make a blade whilst unable to" said Flare. "Explain that?!" said the smith and Flare shook his head, "I can not, I revealed to much already any more and I break the rules and am sealed out of this dimension and all I've told you is forgotten" said Flare with a sad tone in his voice.

---

"Many years lay ahead of you Shadeslayer, and I will grant you two wishes now and one more after the fall of the false king" said Flare Eragon looked at him and thought, "Not a wish first I would like to ask what you meant by that vow Airwalker" said Eragon and Flare smiled, "Smart you are lad, not asking for it as a wish but as a question, very well I'll tell you Shadeslayer, Many have touched my mind and only one reminds me of my old self, you Eargon Bromsson" said Flare and Eragon froze for a moment, "You mean?" asked Eragon anf Flare laughed, "Many things I tell you can not be repeated till you are revealed of a brother, is that understood Shadeslayer? Or shall I remove that memory and send it to the void?" asked Flare.

"It is understood..." said Eragon and Flare nodded, "For summiting to that one rule I shall give you a loophole you may tell those you are bond to and to your teacher" said Flare smiling

---

"Good luck laddie" said a rough voice and Flare sighed, "Do not wish me luck for that is folly, instead wish luck on those who attempt to challenge me when I battle for none can stand against me and live save if they are friend and it is a spar" he said as he drew Incrish and threw out his other hand and a dark shape began to appear and then he grabbed it and the Dark-keyblade pulsed, "Come Shadeslayer, show me your skill"

---

That night because of that forced appearance of Flare he asked the queen for one favor though he knew of the energy for him it would require

Small Flashback:

"I wish for Arya and any one that need to meet the Varden to stay one more night and I shall grant them a way quicker then even dragon flight" said Flare and she granted it

End of Flashback

"Thank you all for coming I have asked you all here to show one thing I have to share from my realm and yet as a favor to Shadeslayer and the queen, I invited all of you, I give music from my realm such you haven't heard yet, but follow even the slightest feeling you have will be gladdly accepted" said Flare as suddenly he bent over and sparks flew from his body and then sounds slowly came as well as copies of him that played odd instruments, "This one is for those inlove and they are not only not alone in this feeling but rather a true reason why you must win shall be shown to you at one point:

It was noon time, down time, break time
Summertime, Miller Time, anytime
She was looking pretty fine
A red light, green light, go
All fired upside downtown
She was shaking me all around
I was tuned in, going nowhere, second wind
Jonesing, drooling, feeling good, if you would

Flare seemed to smile a bit more as he closed his eyes and moved weird in the eyes of both the elves and Eragon but then they felt their bodies move in their own way.


Oh yeah, by the way she moves
She's got me rolling in dirt in a white t-shirt
Breaker Breaker 1-9 she's a big ol' flirt
By now she's got me pretty tied up
Tied down, any way I chose
I got nothin' to lose

Flare soon opened his eyes and one of his copies seemed to change shape and he looked at it surprised though only Arya and Eragon noticed as he continued to sing

In like Flynn, I was
Looking for the win
Just trying anything, hey
Baby, where you been
All my life I've been looking for

the form continued to change till for a second Flare's voice cracked causing for the elves to look at him as he continued to sing

Someone like you
Falling head over heels
Hey what can I do

as he sung Flare had suddenly enveloped the female in a hug and sung with more gusto

Oh yeah, by the way she moves
She's got me rolling in dirt in a white t-shirt
Breaker Breaker 1-9 she's a big ol' flirt
By now she's got me pretty tied up
Tied down, any way I chose
I got nothin' to lose

The elves feeling the music once more pleasing started to dance again as Flare and the odd female started to dance together as he sung


Now I'm in the fast lane going 98
By now I know she can
Smooth operate me
I know she's no goody two shoes
But hey I got myself nothin' to lose

Flare and the girl started to move slightly fast and closer as he picked up the tempo


Oh yeah, by the way she moves
She's got me rolling in dirt in a white t-shirt
Breaker Breaker 1-9 she's a big ol' flirt
By now she's got me pretty tied up
Tied down, any way I chose
I got nothin' to lose

and soon even his copies seemed to be smiling to the point of madness but none cared

Oh yeah, by the way she moves
She's got me rolling in dirt in a white t-shirt
Breaker Breaker 1-9 she's a big ol' flirt
By now she's got me pretty tied up
Tied down, any way I chose
I got nothin' to lose

Soon flare and the girl shared the mic that he had made appear long before he had made the copies

Noon time, down time, break time
Summertime, Miller Time, any time
She was looking pretty fine
In like Flynn I was looking for the win
Just trying anything, hey baby where you been
All my life I been looking for someone like you
Falling head over heels hey what can I do
I got nothin' to lose, yeah

"Everyone say hello to the love of my life, and possibly the only one I will ever see beyond the void, Angelia!" said Flare as he bowed out of the way as she seemed to flow of power and yet it was calm and fierce like the hurricane, "Angelia the mistress of the winds" Flare fully introducing her and the elves murmured among themselves confused if she was the mistress of the wind was that why he could use wind

"I use wind as it was her parting gift before she died, or rather after she died I should say" said Flare before a new mic appeared infront of Angelia and she smiled, "That song love?" she asked and Flare smiled a tear rolling down his cheek, "Aye, love, and lets sing it together"

Flare:

When I get where I'm going
on the far side of the sky.
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly.

I'm gonna land beside a lion,
and run my fingers through his mane.
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles,
I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open,
I will love and have no fear.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Don't cry for me down here.

I'm gonna walk with my grandaddy,
and he'll match me step for step,
and I'll tell him how I missed him,
every minute since he left.
Then I'll hug his neck.

Both:
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles,
I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open,
I will love and have no fear.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Don't cry for me down here.

Flare:
So much pain and so much darkness,
in this world we stumble through.
All these questions, I can't answer,
so much work to do.

But when I get where I'm going,
and I see my Maker's face.
(both)
I'll stand forever in the light,
of His amazing grace.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
Hallelujah!
I will love and have no fear.
(Angelia)
When I get where I'm going.
Yeah when I get where I'm going.

"And now, though I had not planned this song or the one just sung here is Angelia singing, Our Song, by Taylor Swift, a wonderful writer and singer" said Flare and Angelia smiled, "Only you would pick that song Flare" she said before taking the Mic and moving to the middle of the stage:

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says baby is something wrong?
I say "nothing, I was just thinking how we don't have a song"
And he said...

It was then Flare decided to hug her from behind and instead of being startled like most of the elves thought she leaned back against him and they swayed with the music

"Our song is a slamming screen door,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date "man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
And when I got home... fore' I said amen
Asking God if He could play it again"

while Angelia sang Flare every so often kissed her neck lightly and she closed her eyes and smiled while singing

I was walking up the front porch steps after everything that day
Had gone all wrong 'n' been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses
And the note that said...

after that verse Flare let her go and the elves could see the affect it had on her she seemed to be a little upset till she seemed to feel something and she twirled around and grasped his hand and they danced to the music, the elves with the exception of Arya were still as they listened to this song and Eragon asked her if it would be alright to dance with her, ignoring her better judgement she nodded so entwined in the music

Our song is a slamming screen door,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date "man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
And when I got home... fore' I said amen
Asking God if He could play it again

Flare smiled and gestured very subtly to the two dancers to Angelia and she smiled seeing why he had not only chose the song, but also why he had decided to have a Concert

I've heard every album, listened to the radio
Waited for something to come along
That was as good as our song...

As Flare and Angelia sung and danced the other two dancers were ignored and Angelia smiled at that

Cause our song is a slamming screen door
Sneaking out late, tapping on his window
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
Cause it's late and his mama don't know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date "man, I didn't kiss him, and I should have"
And when I got home, before I said amen
Asking God if He could play it again
Play it again... Oh Yeah

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I wrote down our song

"A song for many people here" said Flare taking the mic back

Sometimes think the war is necessary
Every night I pray for peace on earth
And I hand down my dollars to the homeless
But believe that every able soul should work

Angelia and the elves along with Eragon and Arya sat down and listened


My father gave me my shotgun
That I'll hand down to my son
Try to teach him everything it means


I'm a man of my convictions
Call me wrong, call me right
But I bring my better angels to every fight
You may not like where I'm goin'
But you sure know where I stand
Hate me if you want to
Love me if you can

I stand by my right to speak freely
But I worry 'bout what kids learn from TV
And before all of debatin' turns to angry words and hate
Sometimes we should just agree to disagree

And I believe that Jesus
Looks down here and sees us
And if you ask him, he would say

I'm a man of my convictions
Call me wrong, call me right
But I bring my better angels to every fight
You may not like where I'm goin'
But you sure know where I stand
Hate me if you want to
Love me if you can

I'm a man of my convictions
Call me wrong, call me right
But I bring my better angels to every fight
You may not like where I'm goin'
But you sure know where I stand
Hate me if you want to
Love me if you can

"Here we go!" said Flare moving on to the next song

Every day I clock out
And head straight to her house
We cuddle up on the couch
But it always ends the same ole way
I'm drivin' home and it's incredibly late
Something's got to change, 'cause


I've been wrapped around her finger
Since the first time we went out
Every day and every night she's all I think about
I need that girl beside me
When the lights go out
I think it's time to put a ring on the finger
I'm wrapped around

Went to the bank took out a loan
Went and bought the perfect stone
Called up her dad on the phone
I'm takin' him to dinner Sunday night
I've never been so nervous in my life
I want to do this right, 'cause

I've been wrapped around her finger
Since the first time we went out
Every day and every night she's all I think about
I need that girl beside me
When the lights go out
I think it's time to put a ring on the finger
I'm wrapped around

Yes sir I love her very much
I know it's only been seven months
But that's long enough, 'cause

I've been wrapped around her finger
Since the first time we went out
Every day and every night she's all I think about
I need that girl beside me
When the lights go out
I think it's time to put a ring on the finger
I'm wrapped around

I think it's time to put a ring on the finger
I'm wrapped around

As Flare finished the song a new one started up until he raised his hand and the music stopped, "Sorry folks give me a bit I need to catch my breath" he said before jumping off the stage followed closely by Angelia, "Flare, love you should rest I know but I need to talk to you now" she said and Flare smiled and sighed, "Alright love, follow me while we go get Arya and Eragon" said Flare as he walked to the two and bowed slightly to Arya and smiled ever so slightly at their closeness.

"Arya, Eragon, meet Angelia, how she is here I have no idea however she is the one I told you about Eragon" said Flare and then an idea popped in his head, "Eragon, I have an idea, one that you may well like, would you like to try to sing one of the songs?" asked Flare making Eragon pale and sputter a response and Angelia giggled, "Men, can't live with them can't live with out them" she said making Arya confused, "I do not understand" said Arya and Flare sighed, "Love, she is not with Eragon yet, she fears if he moons after her he'll ruin all they worked so hard on, the downfall of a evil king here" said Flare into Angelia's mind and she nodded slightly, "Alright and Eragon, trust Flare, he does not make decisions lightly"

with that Eragon walked up onto the stage and Flare spoke up, "I have asked Eragon to take this song, he will be given the words to the song by me, however he will be in complete control of his body" said Flare

This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing, I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting, will play out like a scene
Straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holding my own breath, right up 'til the end
Until that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with

As Eragon sung Arya felt something sturr in her and Angelia smirked, "You are falling for him" she said


Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Arya muttered a mild retort till she felt that feeling again and she looked at Eragon who seemed to look at her at the same time and their eyes locked gazes

Tonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right, it's just like deja vu
Me standing here with you
So I'll be holding my own breath, could this be the end
Is it that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with

"May the winds heed my call" said Angelia and the winds seemed to pick up around Arya and she looked at Angelia whom smirked, "Love for love, and a heart for a heart, Arya, princess of the elves" she said loud and clear so the elves turned to see Arya give a slight shout as she flew onto the stage

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Flare had taken over the singing as he had his own mic and through a bit of power from his own body he gained the Elves attention


You can't give up, looking for a diamond in the rough
You never know, when it shows up, make sure you're holding on
Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me, ohhh

Eragon caught Arya as the winds died down and she fell, "Sorry Arya Svit-kona" said Eragon letting her down and backing away cause when he had caught her his hand had accidentally grabbed her bottom, "It is forgiven, though I do not think I will be talking to Angelia for a while" said Arya and then she turned to Eragon and for some reason blushed, "Arya Svit-kona? Are you alright?" asked Eragon and instead of answering as the darkness started to premate her form and made her realize the full extent of Eragon's feelings for her, and yet she felt no fear but rather felt a sharp pain in her chest as she fell for him...


Nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know their not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
Nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

"These ones is for the ones whom felt heartbreak" said Flare

I told you I'd leave a light on
In case you ever wanted to come back home
You smiled and said you appreciate the gesture
I took your every word to heart
'Cause I can't stand us bein' apart
And just to show how much I really miss ya

Flare held out his hand as he pulled angelia close and they sang together


Every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
The frontwalk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever get do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on

Flare then sighed and continued alone. But on the stage while the elves watched Flare, Eragon and Arya were dancing, close together, and soon Arya pulled away slightly and pressed her lips to Eragon's making the young rider's mind go into overload and reboot, "Good job Arya, making him go into shock" laughed Flare into her mind before letting her know that Eragon was alright just stunned, which when he regained control of his body funtions he returned the kiss Arya had given him and they started to dance again

If I should ever start forgettin'
I'll turn the lights off one by one
So you can see that I agree it's over
But until then I want you to know
If you look south you'll see a glow
That's me waitin' at home each night to hold ya

When he sung that verse the lights started to go out one by one but a single light stayed on completely focused on Flare and one other that they did not know of and Eragon and Arya continued to dance without fear of falling off the stage

Every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
The frontwalk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever get do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on

as he finished the chorus again the lights all turned back on

Every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
The frontwalk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever get do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on

The Elves finally felt the reason for the songs all have some sort of romance in it however whenever he sang them some grew sad and others grew happy beyond compare, "Love if you could?" he asked tossing her the mic and she smiled, "Sure, I am sure everyone has felt what this next song is about at one point or another" said Angelia

It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
All dressed in white
Going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Sixpence in a shoe, something borrowed, something blue
And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down
Trying to hide the tears
Oh she just couldn't believe it
She heard trumpets from the military band
And the flowers that I never had

Flare seemed to have disappeared but Angelia didn't seem worried as he appeared beside Arya and Eragon and placed a hand on their shoulders, "Love is one power that out shines even the most powerful you two, magic is nothing against it, as Roran himself has fought off the Ra'zac, and now is on his way to the Varden who are in Surda, all to find you Eragon Shadeslayer, he needs your help to save Katrina, however, you can wait till you are summoned" said Flare before smiling

Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

"He goes by Roran Stronghammer now Eragon, Carvahall is no more, however it's people still stand and fight" said Flare as he opened a portal, "These are more then just a way to view places, they allow things to pass through" he explained as Angelia continued to sing the rest of the elves oblivious to Flare

The preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray
Lord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt
Then the congregation all stood up and sang the saddest song that she ever heard
Then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could have been
And then the guards rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart

"Trust me Arya princess of the elves, and Eragon Shadeslayer Bromsson" said Flare surprising Oromis who had just walked into the area, "I seen you walk the tight rope known as love already and you have yet to cross, finish the walk, go, just go and find a room where you will not be disturbed and talk to each other and if things get that far then they do" said Flare

Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

Listening to Flare's advice they left the concert only a few noticed them leaving among them the queen, and Angelia where two of the three who didn't hear Flare talking to them


Oh,
Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, now I'll never know
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

Oh, this is just a dream
Just a dream
Yeah, Yeah

"I'll take this song my love" said Flare and Angelia nodded handing him the mic

He was sittin' there, his brush in hand
Paintin' waves as they danced, upon the sand
With every stroke, he brought to life
The deep blue of the ocean, against the mornin' sky
I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes
He said for twenty dollars, I'll paint you anything

Angelia started to walk up to the stairs

Could you Paint Me A Birmingham
Make it look just the way I planned
A little house on the edge of town
Porch goin' all the way around
Put her there in the front yard swing
Cotton dress make it, early spring
For a while she'll be, mine again
If you can Paint Me A Birmingham

soon she was at the stairs


He looked at me, with knowing eyes
Then took a canvas from a bag there by his side
Picked up a brush, and said to me
Son just where in this picture would you like to be
I said if there's any way you can
Could you paint me back into her arms again.

as she started to climb the stairs Flare seemed to smile

Could you Paint Me A Birmingham
Make it look just the way I planned
A little house on the edge of town
Porch goin' all the way around
Put her there in the front yard swing
Cotton dress make it, early spring
For a while she'll be, mine again
If you can Paint Me A Birmingham

As soon as she wrapped her arms around him and held him close

Paint Me A Birmingham
Make it look just the way I planned
A little house on the edge of town
Porch goin' all the way around
Put her there in the front yard swing
Cotton dress make it, early spring
For a while she'll be, mine again
If you can Paint Me A Birmingham

Oh Paint Me A Birmingham

"One last song my generous audiance, then you can go, and this is a much happier song" said Flare smiling slightly

We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk the tables being turned

We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always comes with getting burned

As Flare sang that line a fire appeared in the middle of the stage

But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire

We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall

We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all

As he sung this line Angelia ran her fingers across his shoulders making him shiver


They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I can't abide
Standing outside the fire

Singing this line Flare seemed to float into the air followed closely by Angelia

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

Mean while Eragon and Arya were well beyond talking but have decided to not take it any farther then a kiss or two, till they reach the Varden and were away from her mother

"By the stars, Airwalker I knew you could fly but to sing with the voice matching our own?" asked an elf and Flare laughed hartily, "Ah sound is naught but the vibrations on the air, I am not that good a singer, but some of these songs need a female's voice so I am glad of the gift of Aslan, he the one above all, gave me back my love for the day, and as such I will gladly leave this dimension without ruining it's fabric, and no queen of the elves I will not tell you why Arya and Eragon left, Oromis had better not tell you either for all I did was push time forward for those two" was all Flare said before a portal opened, "I will leave after sunset tomorrow as I must aid you in the transport of the goods for the Varden and Arya's safe passport or Eragon will have my head" said Flare before stepping though the portal and appearing in his room soon followed to his pleasure, Angelia and to his displeasure the queen, "I'll tell you this, What is the most powerful thing in all the dimensions?" asked Flare and the queen looked at him, "You?" she asked and Flare burst out laughing, "I thank you for the gesture but no, Love is the most powerful thing, for with love you can even bring people back from the void given the right strength and power" said Flare as he sighed, "even you as a queen should know nothing is set in stone, Eragon is the rider and Arya a princess but both would forsake their titles for the other, love while a blessing is also a curse for I fell in love with one other before I loved Angelia, however she was of my enemies, she dare not fight me and I dare not fight her so she was captured and tortured and I could do nothing, as at the time I was naught but a lowly soldier" said Flare

"You sell yourself short love, you were an elite, one of the few allowed to decide the course of action" said Angelia and Flare sighed, "I couldn't save her, and you were inlove with me since before I met her and yet you said nothing" said Flare pointedly and Angelia smiled softly, "Yes my mistake one that cost me in the end, I could've had a long time with you but because of fear I only got to spend but a fraction of the time I could have" said Angelia before Flare turned back to the queen, "You, while Arya's mother can not, will not attempt to break them apart for you will lose both for even Arya who now is as inlove with Eragon as he is with her, will deny you as her mother to be with Eragon" said Flare speaking truth as he was talking in the ancient language and she hung her head

"Fine, I will stay out of it" came the response in the ancient language making Flare nod, "I will hold you to it"

The next morning throwing caution to the winds Arya and Eragon walked together to the spot where she would be leaving from and oblivious to all there kissed each other good bye, "I shall see you in Surda, Eragon Shadeslayer" said Arya and Eragon smiled and hugged her, "I will study hard Arya Svit-kona" he said and with one last kiss he turned to walk away, "Oi lover-boy get over here" said Flare and both Eragon and Arya blushed profusely, "You are bonded to her, and yet both are pure, many a love is lacking of that quality" said Flare as he smiled, "Oh stop it Flare" said Angelia smiling at the two, "Good luck, may darkness point you to the sunrise" said Angelia and Flare smiled and added, "Never stray from the path Eragon, Arya, I set you straight this once, but I may not be here next time" said Flare as he sighed, "I must say good bye to you all I will return one day whether before of after Galbatorix is slain or not is unknown even to me" said Flare as Arya started through the portal to a tent with Nasuada on the other side, "Farewell Flare Airwalker" said Arya before walking through the portal

---

That night, "I wish you all good luck" he said to even Saphira, "Darkness is not a path for all but for me it is for I am the one whom embodied the darkness to save my sister whom embodied the light" said Flare before he opened a portal, "Good bye to all of you" said Flare before he disappeared from the dimension
