It was the third day since Arya left with the new rider and his dragon for the riders new home. she watched as the miles of ground melted before her and cloyt. She smiled as he kept staring gedwëy ignasia on his hand and the small white dragon whom he called Guliä, or luck. The steady beat of Fírnan's wings and the rush of the wind kept them awake even as the sun fell below the horizon.
As they flew on through the night, the full moon lighting their way, Cloyt asked Arya, "How much further? Guliä, I think is getting restless."
"Not much further, Saphira's scent is getting stronger even as we speak. But what confuses me as it seems to go strait through the mountain side."
"Mabey it's a mirage?" a soft voice sounded to the others.
Cloyt and Arya looked at the smaller white dragon who said, "What? After a century of hearing the others talk you learn things."
"hmmm." Fírnan stated, "You are right in that Guliä."
"Shes right," Arya said out loud, "Eragon put a spell on the entrance to ward away others who would harm the new dragons I think. Were here everyone."
Fírnan roared with joy as they entered the cavern. As the exited the other end of the cavern they came upon a great fortified city built out of pure granite. Near the docks on an elm stump sat a man with a curved hawthorn staff on which sat a clear piece of quartz that gave of a pure white light. Arya smiled at the man as she saw the rugged brown hair and deep loving eyes of Eragon. Dismounting, Cloyt put Guliä on the ground and bowed starting the formal elvish greeting to which Eragon replyed, "Atra esterní ono thelduin, Cloyt and Guliä. Welcome to the home of the riders and your new home as well."
Arya watched as the Cloyt and Eragon exchanged greetings. She smiled to herself at seeing how much he had grown up in the past few months they were separated. She looked at her surroundings feeling more at home then she had ever been on the road during the great war.
'Yes, I could live here away from politics and formalities.' She thought to herself
"And good day to you too, my lady," Eragon said to her, Kissing the top of her hand gently, "Welcome to The Hall of the Riders, Allow me to show you to your rooms." With his staff in hand Eragon showed them to their rooms within the keep of the academy. As they walked Eragon talked and explained how Cloyt's training would proceed along with Arya while she visited.
"Here we are this will be your room, Guliä may stay with you or she may roost within one of the many caverns within the Guarding Mountain, the choice is between you and her. Wash up and meet in the square at dusk a feast will be held tonight. Arya, if you will please follow me." Eragon motioned for her to follow him down the corridor. "And this is your quarters, The room is big enough for a dragon twice Fírnan's size to fit in, my room if you need me is on the top floor just one level above. I will see you at dusk."
"Eragon," Arya said Reaching out for his hand, "May we talk, in privet?"
"Of course, What do you wish to talk about?" He inquired after walking in after her.
"Nothing, I just wish to know how you've been since we parted? That's all."
Eragon sighed, his shoulders heaved as he exhaled what Arya assumed to be a pent up breath and in the ancient language, "I've been better," He said with a half-smile looking at her though half closed eyes, "I just wish things could've been different, but everything has worked out for the better."
"Aye it has that, did you not hear? Orik and Hvedra have a son, Whom they have named Eragon, after you?"
Eragon stood back honored, "No I did not know that, I.. I am honored that they would."
"He is a healthy child, he looks exactly like his father from what I saw when I contacted them through the scrying mirrors. He will be a great leader and king."
"That he will be," Eragon said "And what about you Arya? How have you been?"
Eragon saw her tense, unprepaired for the sudden change in topic, but she soon relaxed and said, "I'm the same as always."
"I see, Well you must be tired and famished I assume, I will see you at dusk for the feast." Eragon said as he bowed slightly and left closing the door after him. Walking to his room he planned for the days ahead of teaching his pupils the ways of the old order.
Gah! Im done your welcome! Enjoy! :D
