Chapter 6
When Oromis and I managed to wake Selena up, we headed back to the house. Once we were half-way there, I remembered to tell Brom.
Brom, I'm bringing visitors.
What sort of visitors? Brom asked.
Visitors that we knew that were dead. I replied.
I felt Brom's surprise and then I heard him ask.
Who are they?
Two guesses. I replied smiling.
I felt him shifting through my thoughts for a moment before he pulled back and yelled.
SELENA AND OROMIS!
Yeah, our mentor and your old love interest. I said teasing him.
Be quiet, Saphira. Brom said and then he asked. So we're going to tell them now?
We have to, Brom, our secret has been kept too long. I replied.
Can I go ahead and tell Saphira? Brom asked.
Yes but don't tell Eragon yet or Glaedr, I want to see their reactions. I replied.
He agreed and we continued walking to the house. When we got the house, Saphira and Brom were waiting. I was glad to see Brom but I was also nervous when Saphira walked up to me and glared at me.
When exactly were you planning on telling us? Saphira asked after a minute of glaring.
Um... never, if possible. I replied nervously.
So you were just going to lie about your whole life, your knowledge of the ancient language, your relationship with Brom? Saphira demanded her eyes narrowing.
I didn't think that my past life mattered. I said still nervous. I wanted to live like a normal human, if it was even possible in the first place.
You could have told me. Saphira said after a minute. I can keep a secret.
From Eragon and Glaedr? I asked.
Well no, but I wouldn't have needed to keep it secret from them. Saphira objected.
You would have had to. I argued. For their own good. Besides, if you had known, I wouldn't be able to surprise Glaedr with someone I found.
Oh? Who did you find? Saphira asked.
I stepped back to Selena and Oromis and I said outloud.
"Saphira, meet Selena, mother of Eragon" She gasped at that and then I reintroduced her to Oromis. "And meet Oromis, your old master."
Saphira stared at both of them in shock and then she asked.
How?
"None of us knows. We just woke up one day as babies. We don't know how or why." Oromis replied. "It was strange."
Try waking up in a human body, I've never been more shocked in my life. I said. I was even more shocked at how long it takes for humans to grow. Even elves mature faster than humans.
"That's offensive." Oromis said folding his arms.
Actually it was a compliment. I corrected him. And you act more like a human kid than I would expect.
Sapphire! Brom exclaimed. I turned towards him.
Can't we use my real name now? I asked.
Refering to you as Sapphire is a way for me to make sure that no one get's you two mixed up. Brom replied before saying. Do not talk to our old master that way.
Or what? I asked smirking.
I'll get Glaedr. Brom replied.
Fine. I said and then I grinned. Brom, you should talk to Selena.
That threw him off balance. He was silent for a moment and then he said.
Uh, I have to go get Glaedr's Edurna, see you later.
I smiled slightly as he severed our connection. Then I turned back to the conversation at hand. Saphira was examining me with one of her sapphire eyes when she suddenly exclaimed.
So that's why you hardly ever speak with your human voice!
Yes, I find my human voice rather strange. It is nothing like our voices. I said frowning a little.
Well humans are a lot different from dragons. Saphira conceded.
Indeed. I agreed before asking her. Where's Eragon?
Saphira didn't say anything for a moment and then she said frantically.
I don't know! He was inside the house but now he's not there!
What do you mean he's not there? I asked.
I can't feel him. Saphira whimpered.
I gasped and tried to contact Brom. But for some reason, I couldn't get a connection. There was only one thing that I knew for sure, Brom was gone as well.
Author's note.
Oh no! Eragon and Brom are both missing. What will Sapphire (Saphira) do?
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and remember to REVIEW!
