A/N: It's short, but hopefully you'll still like it. I'm trying to keep this story level with Enchanted in terms of time, so it makes it harder to write the chapters.
Vanir and Aura had spent every moment they could spare together, working around Saphira's lessons in battle and Vanir's training.
It was a late autumn evening when they sat just beyond the castle walls, both of them exhausted. Aura had been flying nonstop into a headwind with Saphira behind her telling her she had to build up her stamina, whilst Vanir had moved from one mock battle to another, trying to maintain his level of skill with a blade.
I'm so tired, Vanir commented, yawning and stretching his aching limbs.
I don't think I'm ever going to fly again, Aura replied, her wings drooping from the strain they'd been under all day.
We're a pitiful pair, aren't we?
Yeah, Aura agreed, but we go together well. We match, just like Mother-Scales and Eragon.
I've been wondering why that is though…
What do you mean, Vanir? Aura had never stopped to really consider what it was about Vanir that drew her to him or why she liked him so the question confused her.
Well, it's a bit odd, isn't it?
What is?
Why you hatched. We're not like Saphira and Eragon that way. It shouldn't have happened, but it did.
You don't regret it do you? Aura asked, terrified that Vanir did regret the attachment that she had taken to him. Her heart began to beat faster, pounding in her chest and sending sparks of worry through her.
No! The elf answered quickly. Now I no longer feel complete without you, Aura. Of course, I don't regret your hatching.
I suppose time shall tell why I hatched for you then, Vanir. I just know that we're meant to be together.
A/N: So I know that it doesn't really explain why Aura hatched for Vanir, but I wanted to show that they are almost destined to be together (not in the romantic sense, of course). I promise that the reason is coming, either in the next chapter or the one after that. I hope you enjoyed it and I would really appreciate some reviews. Thanks for reading.
