Authors Note this one will be brief considering I just wrote one not that long ago…. Hope you guys enjoy this and please leave a review nice ones bad ones and if you are a guest who wants to review leave some kind of name or something so I can properly thank you. Any questions pm me and ironically I still haven't figured out how to make a poll, good thing I don't need them! Any way Max is going to wake up after Adjhad's funeral and after Nasuada's coronation kind of thing. I always thought that part was weird….. Murtagh was not taken as well because Max was hurt and he didn't leave her alone, until the funeral ; ) Looks like some one else has a crush on her as well, to bad I like Eragon better! LOLCATZ! On with the story and disclaimer!
Disclaimer- I do not own either of the books that I am writing about, if I did would I be on fanfiction right now? No I wouldn't I would be publishing books and making lots of money!
Max POV while in coma for a few moments!
Looking around I saw nothing of interest just darkness everywhere. I had no sense of time so I had no idea how long I just sat there listening to people talk but not being able to do anything. And occasionally, I would feel random attacks of pain, luckily it was dulled by the blackness. Eventually I saw a faint light so I got up and ran for it. Now I am not afraid of the dark but after being in it for so long I was just sick of it. I ran for what seemed like miles and I was tired and then I realized how dumb I was and spread out my wings and flew at top speed. It took me forever still to reach it but eventually I did so I landed tucked in my wings and walked closer. Immediately I saw three doors and three keys that were hanging on the wall next to there corresponding door. Looking closer I saw the door on the right looked like it was made out of clouds and on the door was a pair of angel wings with a halo right beneath it. The door to the left had what looked like bat wings and beneath it was a pitchfork. The door in the middle looked plain, but half of it was white and the other half black.
Leaning back I sat on the ground and thought about my choices, obviously I can choose whether to go to heaven, hell, or just return to the living. Maybe I was just so even with my evil side and nice side that I was given the choice. Or maybe it didn't matter and this was a test set up by God wanting to see what I would do. The easy way would be to just go to heaven and not worry about mortal affairs. The next easiest would to go to hell and have eternal punishment waiting for Christ to save us all. But the hardest one in my opinion was to return to life and continue living. But living amazingly would also be the right choice to make, I was sent to Alagaesia for a reason and I knew no matter what I wanted to do I had to go back.
Standing up I walked up to the middle door, I was thinking what the black and white could stand for when it hit me. Black for evil and white for good, they are balanced out no matter what, when there is a villain a hero will show up. To keep the balance doesn't mean they will defeat the evil but they are there to stand against it and give people hope. Smiling I walked over and got the key that was required for the middle one. Right away the other keys vanished and the door on the right went up while the door to the left went down. Slowly I walked back over to the door I had chosen, and I put the key in the lock. Taking a deep breath I turned the key and heard the door unlock, and I pulled the handle down and pushed open the door.
Max POV when she wakes up from coma
Opening my eyes I hissed this room was too bright, but I heard someone jump in surprise and hear them rushing around the room closing what I guessed were curtains. When my eyes finally adjusted the whole way I saw that the room I was in was green, not white so I wasn't in the infirmary. When the last event that happened when I was awake came rushing back, me in this room surveying them taking care of Eragon and then being attacked and blacking out. Looking to the left side of the room I saw Angela staring at me, so I tried to speak but it only came out as a croak. She was surprised that I was even able to do that because her jaw almost opened in surprise. Under her breath I thought I heard her speak of something about toads and mushrooms. Looking the other way to the right I was surprised to see no one there. I was a little disappointed that Eragon was more important to everybody than me. Turning my head the right way so I was facing forwards I successfully made a sound, it was a yelp of pain and surprise. The pain and surprise came when Solembum (AN Too last to see if that's spelled right : ) ) jumped up on top of me and accidently dug his claws in my rib cage. Spanning my mind out to his since I still couldn't talk I said hello to him and then asked him to tell Angela I said hi as well. Then I withdrew and winced when the pain from using my mind like that hit me like crashing into a wall of bricks.
Tears that were triggered by the pain leaked out of my eyes and I started to yell in my mind at myself when I felt an emotion I shouldn't be feeling Confusion, why was I confused about pain. Then I remembered those must be Midnights emotions and me yelling at myself must have alerted her that I was awake. Timidly I called out in my mind to show me where we were linked and slowly I was guided to where we were bonded. I sighed in relief the bond was fine and my attacks didn't ruin it, yet. Calling down the link I called out Midnight's name, and I was surprised when I heard a huge roar outside the window. I smiled when I realized it was her roaring in happiness and surprise.
"Max are you awake?!" Midnight asked in a hopeful tone.
Going back to the link I called down it " Of course not this is a pre-recorded message please answer after the beep." "BEEEEEEEEEP" when I heard her chuckling though I knew she hadn't fell for my sarcasm, darn.
"I'm going to tell everyone your awake, ok?" she asked but really she was just stating the fact, she was just making sure I was with her on the plan.
"That's fine just make sure they also know I still can't use my voice yet." I tell her so if the others rush up and start trying to get me to talk it won't look like I am trying to ignore them. Finally and reluctantly I withdrew from my mind and I let my eyes refocus on the world around me. Turning to Angela I gave her a questioning look and said with my eyes can I get up. She understood what I wanted and nodded before getting up and shooing Solembum to get off and she helped me get up slowly. When I finally got off the bed table thing I heard another roar, one I associated with Saphira roaring in surprise. I smiled at the thought that they at least cared. Stretching I was surprised when I heard two pairs of wings coming from far away, it sounded like they were panicked. Walking over to the window I looked out and I realized there must have been a huge ceremony gong on because people were just dispersing from the grounds. And then I saw them, Midnight was carrying Ayra and Brom. While Saphira carried Murtagh and Eragon. That was what was frantic, they were carrying more weight then they were accustomed to. Then Angela broke my train of thought by telling me she wanted to walk around so she could see if I was physically injured. So I walked in circles bent over did cartwheels and a whole bunch of other junk.
Finally she told me she was going to go into my mind and see what the damage was, with my permission of course. So I gave her permission and she entered for a good five minutes, during those minutes I could hear everyone talking from down the hall. She left my mind and was getting ready to tell me what was damaged when the door burst open and I saw three figures dart in, one was faster than the rest and she reached me first. Quickly Ayra pulled me and gave me a hug, next to reach us was Murtagh who snatched me away and crushed me with a bear hug. And the last figure to reach me was Eragon, who gave Murtagh an evil look before he took me from him and before he hugged me he looked into my eyes and I shivered at the piercing stare. Than he hugged me just as hard as Murtagh but I was surprised when I felt a single tear land on my face. Eragon slowly entered my mind and he was extremely cautious and he whispered I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you before he withdrew. After that I was staggered by his words, but I decided I would look into it later. Looking over at the door I saw Brom walking over and he was halfway over here so I ran over and gave him a hug. He was like a fatherly figure to me and I don't know what I would do without him. Releasing him I noticed the others were talking to Angela questioning why I couldn't talk and she replied with patience I'll tell all of you when she has finished her hello's.
Walking slowly and wincing because of the protest my muscles were going through from them not being used I entered the hallway where I saw to huge sets of scales. One a Sapphire blue and the other a deep dark purple. Opening my mind to Saphira as well I said hello walked over to her and gave her neck from where I could reach a quick hug. Than I turned to a waiting Midnight and I burst into tars and ran as fast as I could to her and gave her a huge hug. I sat there for an hour crying and exclaiming sorry over and over again to her. Halfway into that hour she had started to cry to which surprised me greatly but I didn't care. I was too sad but happy at the same time to be back with my other half.
