Confession
Eragon was sitting on his cot polishing Brisingr. Deciding that flames would help to clean he said, "Brisingr!" And the sword burst into blue
flames. From a great distance he became to feel to touch of Saphira's mind. He let his mind expand until it touched hers. You return? She
replied, Yes we do. Oh by the way, a little side note for you, expect someone at your tent tonight. And then he heard to dull boom of her roar from
some miles away. He walked out to see that Saphira was flying so low to the ground that he was worried about the possibility of her being
injured. He immediately discarded the idea. If she had been hurt he would have been aware of it. Then he spotted a speck jump off her back.
Then Saphira landed and ran a few steps. He walked over to her and looked back at the speck. It turned out to be Arya. She walked up to him.
She looked at him again with the look of desperate longing and then walked past. He looked up at Saphira's glittering mass. What's wrong with
her? Saphira chuckled. You'll find out soon enough. Before she could say more a page ran up to him. "Nasuada wants you right now, sir."
He nodded saying. "A lot we will go." He looked up at Saphira and they started to walk away. At Nasuada's tent he pushed the flap and walked
over to the folding chair. "Nasuada, you asked for me?" She said, "Yes I did Eragon. I have just got the most wonderfully exiting news." Her old
wiriness from the morning was gone now. "Not an hour ago one of our spies sent a report from the city of Fiom of a man in a shop telling him
that he is in position of a dragon egg!" Eragon nearly toppled off his chair. "What!" She went on. "He says that he found in the wilderness in
the comfort on a hallow tree. The man is in Fiom and has agreed to give us the egg on one condition. He wants you to be the one that he gives
it to. He realizes how important the egg is. The Empire slaughtered his family when he was but a boy. That is why he will give it to us."
Eragon leaned back. "If it involves a new rider for us then I say it is well within reason to go and get it." She nodded. "Well with reason.
But……….." Eragon understood. "But Saphira can not take me there because it is through the Empire and because of Thorn and Murtagh." She
nodded again. "Thank you Eragon. So will you again go without her like you did to the election of the dwarfs?"
"One moment please." Saphira? What do you think? She responded immediately. Do it. If there is a new rider for us, why then the chances of us
winning will be near doubled. He inclined his head. "I will go. However this is not like the election of the dwarfs. I am not only running there but I
am running towards the Empire."
"I know Eragon. That is why, one you will not be running but riding horses, and two you will be being accompanied by Arya." Surprise and
something Eragon would have sworn was amusement came from Saphira. "Very well, Lady Nasuada. When will we leave?" She responded,
"Later tomorrow at noon." He left her then. Outside he jumped into the air. "This gives a real chance for success. A new rider! That will equal
the number Gailbatorix has if he can even get his third to hatch." Saphira growled in response. This will get that oath-breaker upset. She roared
at the sky. Then mid roar she stopped. And then she said. Little one. It might be best if you go to your tent no. It's nearly dark. He looked at her
with suspicion. Why would I do something like that? She snarled. Don't worry about why just go and do it. And so he headed out towards his tent.
Saphira flew off to the Jiet River saying that she needed a bath. Eragon reached his tent and pushed open the flaps. He walked over to his cot
and sat down and began to read from Domia abr Wyrda the book Jeod had given him. And then he heard a knock on the wood beam that
served as a door knocker for his tent. He got up and walked to the flab that served as his door. He pulled it back and was astonished to find
that Arya stood in front of it. "Ayra. What is it?" She walked inside. "I most speak with you, Eragon."
