The Next Generation
Chapter 7,
Black Out
Over the next few weeks, Jaide and Eragon trained. The both of them got more skilled in swordsmanship (which seemed impossible to do for they were both the utmost experts in swordplay) and in Gramarye. Jaide taught techniques to Eragon from her own powers, and they both discovered new things about her strange abilities.
They also clashed a lot, for Eragon had a crush on Jaide and though he wasn't willing to admit it, everyone knew. But with Jaide, no one could tell. She hinted at liking him in that way a few times but then would do something that suggested otherwise. Such as being with Vanir, Eragons 'enemy'.
But Jaide's powers mixed with being in a different dimension plus being away from her dragon were starting to damage her mind, and one day, on the sparring grounds, is when it started showing. It was the two of them against her, and (even though she denied it later) they were winning.
Jaide had successfully blocked their blows and left a certain elf with a welt. And Vanir blamed Eragon.
"That would be your fault, human." Chastised Vanir.
"My fault for what? That she put a welt on you? Ha! You're just careless. If I left and let her fight you on your own, you would lose in two minutes."
"I don't think so. I think that you are just slowing me down. After all, you are the weaker species." Snapped Vanir.
This made an explosive fight break out between the two, and after about 45 minutes, Jaide got tired of watching and decided to break them up. Besides, she reasoned, we have to go meet up with Master Oromis in a short while.
She jumped in the middle of the sword-slashing and froze their bodies in place. Then, pushing them back with her mind, (A/N: her powers are somewhat like Raven's from teen titans, or Gene Gray from X-men. She uses her powers with her mind. Oh yeah and I have no idea of how to spell character names too so…he he okay enough of me rambling, on with the tale.) She got between them and said,
"Really you two, you are acting like children fighting over a mindless and pointless argument. And it is making me more irritable than I already am."
"I don't think you're irritable," interjected Eragon.
Jaide glared at him like he had just made an obscene joke about her, and he shut up right away. She rolled her eyes and putting one hand on her hip, continued,
"Anyways… you two need to stop fighting like right now because me and Eragon have to go meet up with Oromis-" and Jaide pronounced his name wrong. She was actually starting to sound different to Eragon and Vanir, like her voice had changed along with her mind set.
"It's pronounced OR-UM-ISS. Are you feeling okay?" Asked Vanir. He too had noticed the sudden change in her voice.
"Yah, I'm fine. Why?"
"You just sound weird, that's all. We were just concerned. Will you let us down now? My legs are falling asleep." Said Eragon.
Then Jaide seemed to snap out of whatever was wrong with her mind.
"Oh! Sorry. Yes, I will let you down now." She let them down and rubbed her temples, like she had a headache.
"Are you okay?" Asked Eragon, a concerned look on his face.
"Yeah, I'm alright." Jaide said still rubbing her temples. "I'm going to go rest a bit before we meet with Master Oromis, (this time she pronounced it correctly) I feel really tired suddenly."
"Alright, if you say so. I'm going to go clean up before we leave anyway. See you in a bit."
"Yeah…Bye…" Jaide trailed off, walking away towards her tree house. She looked like she was trying to figure something out but no one could know what was really going on inside her head.
Eragon was concerned, so he decided to follow her to her tree house.
When he got there, Jaide was sitting on her bed, staring at her right hand. She was so concentrated; she didn't notice Eragon walking up to her bedroom. He stopped just outside her doorway, and watched her for a moment, taking in all of his thoughts, and reasoning whether or not he really did love her.
His thoughts were interrupted as she took her gaze off her Gedway Ignasia and began rubbing her temples again. She looked like she was in pain so he decided to try and comfort her.
"You'll rub a hole in your head if you keep that up," he said with a smile.
"What? –Oh, heh heh, yeah." Jaide attempted a slight chuckle. "I didn't hear you come in, do you need something?" She asked.
"No, but you do. I have been around you long enough to see when something is bothering you. And you are deffinatly troubled. Is it Emerald Fire? Or your home? Are you sick?"
"So many questions! Can we take those one at a time?"
Eragon blushed. "Hehe, sorry. I have a tendency to ask a lot of questions, or at least I have been told. Okay. What is troubling you?" He asked a simple question.
"I don't know. I think its that Emerald is under pressure but I can't contact him. It's that and also that I am so home sick. I never got to say goodbye to any of my family or friends, you know. Plus, some old health issues have been coming up lately, and I can't seem to stop them with my powers." Jaide gave him a not-so-simple answer.
"I understand how you feel about your home; it was the same with me. I never got to say goodbye to most of my friends and my Uncle died right before I left. I also know how it feels to be cut off from your dragon, but only for a short period of time. I can only imagine how you must feel about Emerald."
There was some silence for a few moments, and then Eragon broke it, saying,
"What health issues have come up? You never told me."
"I haven't told anyone. It's just that I used to get really really bad headaches-"
"Headaches?" Eragon cut her off.
"Yeah, you know when your head hurts or aches. Headaches."
"Oh…" Eragon seemed embarrassed that he didn't know the lingo of the 21st century in a world called Earth. This wasn't the first time Jaide had mentioned something and he didn't know what she was talking about.
Jaide chuckled a bit. "It's okay that you don't know some of the terms I use; we are from different worlds and different time periods. Back at earth this time period you are in would be called the Dark Ages, or Medieval times. But I am from the future. Gosh that sounds like its from a corny Sci Fi movie."
Eragon just looked at her like she was speaking a different language. He was confused at some of the things she talked about, and there was no use trying to explain it to him. Or to anyone else in Ellesmera or Uru'Baen. They just couldn't concept certain things from the future. Such as TV, Movies, Internet, Fast Food, Vehicles, ect.
"Oh man we are late to meet Oromis!" Jaide exclaimed and jumped up.
"Yes, we are! I completely forgot! I hope he isn't too mad…"
Eragon rushed after Jaide who was now out the door and starting to run out of the house, but she had jumped up too quickly for sitting so long. The sudden rush of blood made her black out. She was going out the door but suddenly collapsed on the narrow stairway leading to the forest floor.
She fell and started to tumble down the narrow stair case.
"Jaide!" Yelled Eragon.
He ran down the steps and eventually caught her, but not before her head hit hard against a step-stone at the bottom of the stairs.
