Sorry! Admittedly it took me a while to get back into writing but I'm oh so sorry for the wait! Now, I don't think this will be a weekly story at this point in time but hopefully I can make it right again in the future. Sorry if the quality isn't as good anymore but I'm a little rusty. Sorry again for keeping you waiting! Thanks to those who stuck by me and waited!
The day progressed lazily; Murtagh sat by the tree as the time for him to change approached. He had fallen asleep, Kaira in his arms as they were caught in the sweet embrace of slumber. All around them the world carried on with its business. The feast was being made, the tables being set, four dragons soaring in the skies, enjoying the freedom of the air. Eragon saw them together and felt a pang in his own heart, he wished for something of the same, the same warm embrace of another, the same tenderness of fickle love at his grasp. He sighed "Saphira, would you like to go flying together?" he asked her, hoping that she would say yes "I need to escape from this place for a few minutes" Eragon added
"Of course little one, I'd never deny a request like that, it isn't often that we fly together now... thinking back I do sometimes miss the days of before when we would travel the land together, soaring from one corner to another... but we can no longer return to Alagaesia" Saphira replied to him.
"Oh... of course, Angela's prediction" Eragon muttered, climbing on to Saphira's back "Do me a favour... wake up Murtagh" Eragon told her, smiling. Saphira answered heartily with an earth shaking roar, so loud that Eragon jumped, but not before he saw Murtagh launch himself to his feet screaming. Eragon began laughing, he laughed so hard that he fell off of Saphira's back, tears building up in his eyes as he laughed. When he got up he saw the sight of Murtagh storming towards him, fury in his eyes. Eragon quickly clambered onto Saphira's back and urged her to take off before Murtagh could get to them. Saphira did as he asked and lifted off. Leaving Murtagh stuck, shouting obscenities at his cousin and shaking his fist. Out of the corner of his eye, Eragon saw Murtagh begin to walk inside with Kaira. "How long do we have Saphira?" Eragon asked her
"I'd say about half an hour before you need to get changed" Saphira replied, rising even higher until they were above the clouds. Soaring at breakneck speeds in the open space, where no danger awaited them and there was no risk of any damage to either of them.
While Eragon was out flying, Kuldr was sat with the students about his life as it was somewhat of an enigma to them, in their studies they barely heard a mention of his name and it was only once that they had heard it. "Tell us a tale from your life Ebrithil" Clovis asked him, his voice deep "We would like to hear more about you" he added.
"Very well Clovis, is that what you all want?" Kuldr asked, grinning slightly as he heard them all say yes in response "Well... what type of story would you like to hear? My childhood, my wife, my training or..." he asked them
"Ooh! Tell us about your childhood Ebrithil!" asked Bray and Arnos in unison before anybody else could put in a word
"Very well..." Kuldr told them, he mustered up a mist with his magic and slowly the mist began to form an image of him, talking with some other elves. "How about my first crush? My first crush happened to me many, many years ago, at the age of thirty; I was nought but a teenager at the time, only a few years younger in physical age than you, for the humans among us I would have been sixteen in your years. I was just conversing with some friends of mine, intellectuals like myself with less of an interest in physical ability and more in the interest of the study of magic and the arts, history and essence of the world" Kuldr said as the image in the mist changed into a beautiful elven girl "It was on one of those day that I had spotted her, Blodhgarm was the confident child in the family and was a lot more playful back in his youth, he nudged me and told me to go talk to her. The girl must have been only a year or two younger than me but I was nervous, it was a new sensation, when one is intelligent, answers are confident and those lead to confidence in life but unfortunately my confidence in myself escaped my grasp when it came to her. I slowly walked up towards her, now she was on her own, walking from the school back towards her home I guessed. I came up to her and said "K...Kvetha" the words stumbling from my mouth and she replied the same in a melodic voice" Kuldr told them
"I'll translate in the tongue of man so it is easier for everyone to understand" he informed them "I said my name to her and she told me her name was Ilian. We talked for a hours and when we stopped talking it was late, it was night, we talked every few days after that until I became a rider. After I became a rider I realised something had changed... I realised she had grown jealous of me, of my dragon and my new life and we slowly fell apart, my first crush became my closest friend but then became a stranger to me" Kuldr told them
"Admittedly the story of my first crush was disappointing, it wasn't as cheerful as some peoples are but it wasn't as bad as some peoples can be." Kuldr added "Anyway, now we must get dressed and ready to entertain our guests... Disperse! All of you, to your rooms and go to the pavilion when you're dressed!"
