OMG- I got more reviews than i hoped for! thank you all! Enjoy!

It was a few days since the siege on Feinster. Nasuada was busy gathering the soldiers. Eragon was on his way to train the Du Vrangr Gata when he saw Roran. Roran darted towards him.

"I believe it is time for you to tell me who was it that died," he said.

"His name was Oromis. He was my trainer in Ellésmera. He died in battle," Eragon did not want to explain that Oromis is a Rider.

"How did you know? Didn't the Elves attack a distance from here?"

"Magic," said Eragon, not wanting to mention The Heart of Hearts.

Then Roran smiled. "Saphira told me about what happened between you and Arya. The beginning of something?"

Eragon looked at Saphira, who was following him nearby.

Sorry, I had to mention it to someone. He glared at her. She did it publicly anyway. Many would have seen it.

"It was a pity kiss," he answered. He believed so.

Roran smiled. "Do you remember, back in Carvahall, when I used to send you with messages to Katrina? Without you, Eragon, me and Katrina would have never worked out. It is time I return the favor. What do you want me to say to her? Consider me your messenger."

"Forget it Roran. I have to go train The Du Vrangr Gata for now. I have no time for this."

"I'll tell her that you think she's beautiful."

"No! You don't know these elves! Say that and she'll shun me for life. I never told you this but she openly rejected me. And when she noticed I love her, she ran when ever she saw me. Elves are not like humans. They have only two children in Ellésmera! They consider it so rude to have what humans would call a friendly conversation."

"So what?"

"Roran, she's a hundred years old! I am a child to her!"

"You can still love her."

"She loved someone before I was even born."

"And is that lover dead?"

"Yes."

"Was it the…"

"Stop interrogating me. Nothing will be between me and Arya." With that, he went into the tent in which the Du Vrangr Gata are trained.

Trianna was among them, when she saw him, she leaped from place and curtsied. "Shadeslayer. Are you here to train us?"

He nodded.

He trained the group. Eragon found that every one of them were quite slow to learn. Trianna, though, was with out a doubt, the best magic user among them. He was startled to see that a young woman of her age is better than the men. He realized why she is the leader of the group.

When he finished training them, he went to his tent with Saphira, only to find Arya and Roran talking. Roran had a slight grin on his face, and Arya looked quite embarrassed. Eragon gazed at Roran suspiciously.

"Roran? What have you done?" he asked him.

"I sent her the message."

Eragon gaped. "Didn't I tell you not to tell her anything?" He looked at Arya. "Whatever he said was not from me. I respect your customs, you know this. I would never tell Roran to say something to you that would offend you."

"But it is true," said Roran. "He tells me everything and…"

"Roran!" screamed Eragon.

"I will leave you," he patted Eragon on his arm as he left Arya and Eragon alone.

Eragon was embarrassed. He walked away from her, knowing that their relationship would never be the same, now that Roran had exposed the truth.

He saw Roran walking away, and in fury, shouted, "what did you tell her?"

"I told her that you were very attracted to her and thought she was the most beautiful creature alive. I also told her that you love her desperately."

"Monster! Now she will never speak to me again!" He was surprised at what he had just called Roran, but was too furious to apologize. Katrina then walked over.

"Eragon? What is wrong?"

Calm down, little one. Roran did this for you.

He should not have interfered. I warned him not to, but he did.

You are being harsh.

He stormed away from Roran, Katrina and Saphira, just wanting to be alone. He blocked Saphira from his mind.

When he passed by Arya, he ignored her, although she called his name and followed him.

"Eragon, stop," she ran to catch up with him. He ran to get away from her. It was soon a race between her and him.

Nasuada saw him and called his name. Because of his fealty, he had to stop. He bowed to her, and Arya had caught up with him, who also bowed.

"Eragon, what are you doing?" asked Nasuada, looking suspiciously at both of them. "You need to preserve your energy when we march."

"Forgive us, lady, but Eragon and I have decided to race," said Arya, which startled both Eragon and Nasuada.

"Race?" she looked quite angry. "We are in the midst of battle, and you are playing games?"

"Forgive us, Lady."

Her expression lightened. "Eragon, get Saphira ready. We march in a half an hour. Play no more games," with that she walked away, her guards walking behind her.

Arya gripped Eragon's arm so that he doesn't move. He sighed.

"Eragon, what is wrong with you?" she asked him.

"Leave me alone," he shouted, snatching his arm from her.

"How rude," she yelled in his face. "Whenever I call you, do not ignore me!" He hated how bound the elves are to the rules. He hated it how they are so formal. He hated elves, but is in love with one. He grunted at her, which caused her to frown.

He voice soothed. "I don not know you this way Eragon. I understand your frustration, but that is no way to behave with me the way you did."

He paused. "I'm sorry, Arya. Forgive me for letting my anger get the better of me."

She nodded. "As you should be." She paused. "Eragon, your cousin means well, he wants your happiness. Do not get angry with him. I may not share your feelings. You are not an elf, so you will not understand my reasons. Please do not grieve for me. We are friends and no more. Discard of these feelings, Eragon. They may interfere with your task," with that, she left him. After wandering, he went back where Saphira was and apologized to her, as well as to Roran, though he wasn't entirely content.

As he was getting ready to march, he saw Trianna, stroking a horse's mane. He came to her; she turned towards him and curtsied.

"I came to ask you a favor."

Trianna's eyes brightened. "Ask, Shadeslayer."

"You talked to me of a love potion. May I have a sample." He hated himself for what he was doing. But he couldn't be happy unless he tried. He wanted Arya to display some love to him.

Eragon! What are you doing? Saphira's voice rang with fury.

He blocked his mind from her. He knew he was acting weird.

Trianna looked at him suspiciously, "You changed your mind," she stated. "Do you want the potion everlasting or temporary?"

"Temporary," he said after a pause. She nodded then left him, after a minute or so, she came back with the potion.

"Be careful with it Eragon. After it fades, the person will realize that she was in love with you and the stopped. She may realize the potion was involved, and will turn against you entirely."

"I will keep that in mind, thank you."

"Most welcome," she curtsied.

Eragon, I do not believe what you are doing is the way to approach it, Saphira said.

Then what is? She will never love me back unless I give her this.

Slow down, little one, she may after time.

Saphira, I am sorry I was rude to you.

Forget it. Just think about what you are doing
