Just a real quick thing i wrote up about Arya. Hope you like it. :)


Horror and grief shook her as she watched him and his dragon disappear through the mist. She had just accepted that she loved him, and when she finally thought their bond could have grown, he had to leave. And she had to stay.

I waited too long… Arya thought to herself.

Don't punish yourself, Arya. It's not your fault. Firnen stated.

Yes it is! I could have contacted him as soon as you hatched! Then he would still be here! You and Saphira could still have each other. We could build the dragon race together, here in Alagaesia. Together…. Here. And then I was sobbing.

Come child, we must get back to the others. And we still have to pick up Roran. Don't lose yourself yet. Firnen said.

I pulled myself together. It wasn't fair to Firnen. He was just as upset as I was, leaving the mate he had for such a short time. I was thinking of what I should have done. I shouldn't have accepted the invite of Queen. But, I felt complied to. Islanzadi was my mother, after all.

Pain filled me again, as I thought of her. We had just reconciled, and once again, fate had interfered. Just as it had with Eragon. Eragon. Sorrow replaced the pain, sorrow replaced thoughts of my mother. I would miss him, him and his companionship. I remembered how he chased after me during our stay in Ellesmera, and I remember his pain when I shot him down. I remembered my pain as well. He was so kind and forgiving. He didn't necessarily stop pursuing me, but he stopped being so wanting of it. And that is when I truly realized what he meant to me.

Even as Roran climbed onto Firnen, I didn't say anything. Just mourned the loss of the man I loved. The man I will ALWAYS love.

Roran must've been able to tell I was tearing up.

"It's alright, Arya. I'm going to cry, and you can to." He mumbled, and then he started crying.

I tried to hold myself together, but I couldn't, it was just too much. I started sobbing and crying as well. Firnen let out a mournful wail. Together, we mourned the loss of Eragon and Saphira. Together, we wished we could change it. Change fate. Together…..
