Alright here's the next chapter.

Chapter 3

Eragon was in his tree house that elves had provided for him and Saphira. He was packing up his small bag reading to head out. Two years had passed since the death of Galbatorix and peace was restored. The only thing that was left to deal with was the return of dragons; the green egg was still traveling everywhere, waiting for it to find the right person to hatch for. That meant that Saphira had only one option, Thorn. At first she was reluctant to be his mate, and decided she would take it slowly and get to know him better. Eragon was happy for Saphira's decision due to the fact that he had grown attached to her because she was the only who really stood by him, his only family other than Roran and Murtaugh, she was the only one who loved him for just being him not because he ended the king's life. Saphira would spend most of her time with Eragon and would leave him when she needed to hunt or go and talk with Thorn, but that ended 2 month ago. Hell Eragon had not seen Saphira for two months until today when he had just spotted her and Thorn flying circles over the forest of Ellesmera just above the tree that held the house that Eragon was in.

Eragon sighed, "I was fool for thinking that Saphira would be next to me with for the rest of our life's." Eragon strapped his and grabbed brisinger, the sword that plunged into the heart of the evil king. Making sure he had everything he walked toward the door that led to the stairs and started descending to the ground. While walking down the stairs he was wondering where he was going to go? Maybe the Spine or Surda where he could get a job and live in a small house, but all he knew was that he had to be far away from Saphira.

Once he had reached the bottom of the tree he started to walk towards the direction that would lead out of the woods. His walking didn't last long when he heard a loud thud.

"Eragon?"

Eragon turned around to see Saphira standing there, he could by her face that she was concerned.

"Eragon where we heading out too?" Saphira asked.

"Not we Saphira, just me, I am just going for a little trip that's all." Eragon replied.

"Wha… what about me, am I not coming with you?" Saphira asked with a worry, she didn't like Eragon leaving by himself.

Eragon sighed, "No you have to stay here with Thorn, me staying would just be a burden to you" Eragon told her. His eyes had started to water.

"What? Is that just most idiotic thing you have said, you know I would never leave you by yourself." Saphira said with an angry tone.

"I haven't seen you for the past two months, you call that not leaving me alone!" Eragon yelled. "You are all I have but you been gone for so long and I guess its better for me to start being on my own." Eragon finished.

"Oh Eragon please forgive me, I never meant to leave you for so long, I was so caught up with Thorn who had decided to take me everywhere that I had forgotten about you." Saphira tried to explain.

"I am not blaming you, it's alright if you wanted to spend more time with Thorn, it was just a matter of time." Eragon reassured his dragoness, turning around to leave.

Saphira walked by Eragon and blocked his way, "Please Eragon don't leave, I promise to spend more time with you just don't leave me." Saphira pleaded.

Eragon moved aside and kept walking and turned around, "I am sorry that my decision pains you as much as it does to me, but I can't bare seeing you with someone else, but those are just my own illusions the reality is that you belong to Thorn, together you will rebuild the dragon race." Eragon wiped his tears off his face, "This is goodbye Saphira" and with that he turned around and resumed his walk towards the edge of the forest.

Saphira felt as if her heart was broken in two, it pained her to see Eragon leave her but there was nothing he could say to him that would make him change his mind and run back to her. Eragon was right, she had left him alone. All she did now was lay down and cry, hoping that she could feel her rider grab her head massage her, to sooth her, to make everything better like he always did. But she knew that would not be happening.

She heard thud behind her and she knew it was Thorn.

"My dear, what the matter, are you alright?"Thorn asked, wondering what had happened that would make the dragoness that he loved cry.

"Please Thorn, ju…just let me be, I need time to myself to think" Saphira said.

Thorn was now concerned about her, just yesterday they were laying with each other, the contact so close, but now she wanted him away. "As your mate it wou…"

"I am not your mate!" Saphira cut him off, "Why do you act like we are together, hell you probably just want to mate me, that's all you been asking me for the past week!" Saphira shouted.

Thorn looked at her surprised, it was true that he had been asking to mate for a while, but it was their destiny to do so, at least to him. "I know I been pushing that question a little, but it's our duty to resurrect the dragon race." Thorn inquired.

"Duty!, well you better hope the green egg is a female, because I have finally decided that I wont mate with you." Saphira retorted.

"You can't be serious, what if the last egg is male? What then, are you going to mate with your rider?" Thorn said the last part sarcastically.

"You know what? That is not a bad idea; in fact I am going to find him right now" Saphira said making up her mind that she was going to hunt Eragon down and force him to let her travel with him. Saphira spread her wings and launched into the air, once above the trees she started to head out towards Eragon direction.

"What in the name of the Ancestors?" Thorn thought. No way was she actually leaving him just to be next to Eragon.

Eragon had finally reached the edge of the forest when she heard footsteps quickly approaching him.

"Eragon! Where are you going?" It was Arya.

Eragon shook his head, no doubt she was here to court him, it was obvious to him that she now wanted to be him just because he killed the king and once learning that fact Eragon lost all interest for Arya and has been turning her down every time she asked for a chance to be with him.

"What is it now Arya?" Eragon asked not showing any manners to her, even when she was a princess.

"I was wondering where you going, are you coming back?" the elf asked.

"I am not sure right now where I am going, as for me coming back, well not for very long time." Eragon answered and started to walk again.

Arya followed him, "What? You can't leave, I thought we were showing progress in our relationship?"

Eragon turned around, his face showed total confusion, "Progress?... Relationship?... What are you talking about?"

"Eragon you know we are destined to be together, why do you keep avoiding me?" Arya asked causing Eragon laugh.

"Hahaha, our destiny, the only thing I felt for you back then was lust, now that I know that you only want me because I killed the king, everything I felt about you vanished, so again I decline your offer and I have decided to change my destiny, goodbye Arya." With that said Eragon turned around and walked away.

The black dragoness was pacing around in her cave, with the human she found placed at the mouth of the cave. She was arguing on whether she should show herself to the human or should she hide first and see if he would cause her any harm.

Reynor's eyes started to flutter open, when his vision cleared he noticed that he was at an entrance of a cave and a lake in front of him. He groaned as he felt a surge of pain on the back of his head.

The black dragoness heard the human wake up and quickly decided that she would hide all the way in the back of her cave. The dragoness quickly moved herself to the back of the cave and watched the human wake up from the shadows.

Reynor looked around the cave trying find out where he was, he then looked at the lake in front and he concluded that he was knocked out when he fell from the cliff and floated all the way here, though that didn't explain how he ended so far from the shore.

"Well I better make camp here for today, get fire going to dry off my clothes and armor off, and tomorrow I will just follow the river back to the waterfall and try to find my comrades." Reynor said out loud, oblivious to the dragoness who heard intently from the shadows in the back of the cave.

It was the afternoon and Eragon was still in the plains and had set camp on the side of a hill, he stared at the fire just thinking about recent events, Saphira, Arya, and his decisions and how it had and will affect others, especially his beloved Saphira.

Eragon's thoughts were interrupted by loud wing flaps and then a loud thud. Eragon turned around and Saphira standing on top of the hill.

"Saphira what are you doing here!" Eragon yelled at her, "You are supposed to be with Thorn right now."

Saphira shook her head, "That's just it, I don't want to be with him, but when I am with you…it feels right in my heart, please little one, don't make me go back" Saphira pleaded, tears already forming in her eyes.

Eragon sighed loudly, he couldn't deal with this no more, what the hell was he thinking leaving Saphira, she was the world to him.

"All right Saphira, you can come with me, I have to admit that I can't stand seeing you sad, and worse being apart from you." Eragon looked down at the dirt beneath him in shame, "I was a fool to act the way I did with you."

Saphira walked up to him and nuzzled him with her snout on his cheek, "No little one, you were only letting your feeling known, I should be sorry for leaving you for so long, can you forgive?" Saphira said.

Eragon grabbed Saphira's head and brought her closer to him, "Saphira, you will never have to ask me for forgiveness."

Saphira purred at the contact that Eragon was giving her, "Sleep with me Eragon, please, I need your comfort." Saphira asked.

Eragon chuckled, "Is the mighty dragoness asking for comfort from a puny human?" Eragon teased.

Saphira growled, "I was simply offering you a chance to be warm in the cold night, that all."

"All right, whatever you say my dragoness." Eragon said as he watched Saphira lay down and be pulled in front of her to lay down on her front legs.

Saphira was happy that she once again be close to her rider, and best of all Eragon had just claimed her with his words, take that Thorn she thought and laid her head close to Eragon's.

"Goodnight little one"

"Goodnight my dragoness."

Reynor had managed to dry his clothes of and armor not knowing that the black dragoness had seen him strip and was had been aroused during the whole show he put up. Now he was cooking four dead rabbits on the fire pit he had caught, the smell had lingered all the way to back of the cave where the black dragoness had picked up the smell of delicious roasted rabbits and was now drooling, she was going have to come from her hiding spot or be tortured by the smell of food.

The black dragoness took a deep breath and excelled, she puffed out her chest and walked up to the human in front.

Reynor took out the cooked rabbits and set them aside for them cool.

"Hello human" a voice popped in Reynor's head causing him to jump up from his sitting spot and turn around, what he saw made his eyes go wide, they were those emerald eyes he had seen!

Alright that's it for right now.
