Im Back people with an eragon x saphira & I am looking forward to writing this one & I have done some work to hopefully improve my writing let me know what you think.

The night wore on as eragon & saphira sat under the stars among a small group of trees, one of these tree's had a soft moss growing along the trunk & against the soft surface is were eragon sat as he & saphira conversed.

"What is going to happen to us Saphira, I mean we cant hope to defeat Galbatorix, he has hundred's if not thousand's of eldunari at his & we have only Gleadr's" said Eragon as he sighed in defeat.

Saphira snorted "What!? You doubt Gleadr's power?" as she lay stretched among the grass slowly kneading the grass in front of her.

"I know that Gleadr was & still is a very powerful dragon, but not even he could take on that many dragon's & hope to come away alive" replied Eragon now very glum as he continued to think of what would happen to him & Saphira if they were to take on Galbatorix.

"Try not to think about it little one, Tell me what do you wish to do when this is all over" said Saphira in an attempt to change the subject.

"I am not sure Saphira, but I do know one thing" said Eragon with a small smile

Saphira moved her head so that her big blue eye was fixed on Eragon "what is this one thing you do know little one?"

"That I will be with you and enjoying our life together" He replied with a smile before turning to watch the final moments of sunlight drift behind the trees around, creating a halo of light to reflect of Saphira's scales creating a deep blue glow across the entire area. "we should get some sleep it is getting late" he said with a yawn, before getting himself comfortable against the tree.

"I supose little one" she reached forward and plucked Eragon from against the tree and placed him against her belly. Before he knew it he was all tucked up in a world of blue with a veigned wing above him keeping the weather out. "Good night Little one"

"Goodnight Saphira".

The scout didn't believe his Luck here he was on a mad dash to check the progress of the varden's forces for the empire and here just to the side of the road was the great blue dragon asleep, without any guards around or it's rider which he presumed was asleep under the dragon's wing much the same as murtagh often did.

He took great care

as he aproached the mighty dragon as waking it would result in a very quick death and painfull by either the dragon itself or it's rider. He took step after step watching the ground for any dry branches or leaves that if stepped apon, would give his position away, he was in a metre of the dragon & now had to find away to get to the rider or leave them alone.

He looked around for anything of use, stick....stick......pile of leaves.....bingo bag, he aproached the bag with the same caution he had aproached the dragon with, taking extra care when he reached the dragon's tail which occasionaly twitched.

The bag was soon in reach and from the man's own leather bag he retrieved a single glass vial of a clear liquid, which had the smell of a paifull death, he emptied it's contents into the rider's water flask, Before exiting the clearing with caution before heading back along the route he came from to report the deed he had done to the empire.

Saphira relaxed in the early morning sun as she watched Eragon intently. He always finds trouble this one, it makes life very stressful, when the one you love not only has no idea that you love him, but also tends to try & get himself killed at every moment that involves a sharp object. She began to hum as she let her mind wander of as thought of Eragon.

Eragon awoke drowsily, and began to stretch when he released Saphira still had a firm grip on him and was not planning on releasing him any time soon. Eragon smiled deviously and began dancing his fingers across the soft flesh under her armpits were he knew she was sensitive to touch.

Saphira lurched suddenly as Eragon began attacking her armpits, "Eragon stop, please", she lurched & stood up before pinning eragon under her front paw.

Eragon now gulped, Saphira grabbed him with a single paw, and sat apun her hunches looking at him "What am I going to do with you Eragon" she began pacing all the time just humming to herself, and every time Eragon tried to access her mind he found it shut off in a kind of 1-way link she could talk to him but he could not talk back.

Hmm what to do, what to do. Thought saphira to herself as she paced back and force among the clearing. I could drop him next time I fly........ nah to risky if I miss i'm dead to. I could... her eyes drifted to a gap in the trees, to were she spotted the perfect thing to get him back with "oh Eragon!?"

Eragon shuddered at the tone "yes Saphira?" he asked while shuddering slightly in fear.

"Bath Time!" screamed Saphira before jumping into the air spreading her great blue wings and taking to the sky with a single beat.

Eragon looked around and noticed the lake that saphira was heading too, it was in a clearing much like the one they just left, surrounded by trees & shrubs on all sides, it had a small waterfall dropping into the lake. It all added up to a spectacular sight, the morning sun bouncing of the water of the waterfall and the lake below created a scene of spectacular brilliance.

Then it ended as Saphira dropped him into the water, and then stopped flying herself coming in for a dragon sized canonball. Eragon hit the water hit the water feet first and was amazed at what lay under, there were great natural stone features, schools of brightly coloured fish, he returned to the surface for air. Then he looked up and wished he hadn't.

Saphira struck the water in a free fall, sending a wave of water in all directions high enough to surf, eventually after the water settled she emerged from the the water at a high speed, not enough to lift herself out of the water but enough that there was a spray of water in all directions. Eragon was in awe and how he wished for a fairth as the image in front of him could only be described as pure beauty, Saphira emerging from the lake with her wings half open blocking the sun from view but letting it shine through the translucent membrane, a halo of water water surrounding her form that sent blotches of light across her scales in a wondrous display of every blue that one could imagine all this with the backdrop of the waterfall bahind her with thick forest on both sides & not a cloud in sight.

As Saphira returned to the water she began to swim towards Eragon "bath time, little one". Eragon attempted to swim kicking and pushing at the water in an attempt to escape Saphira's bath session. The last left him with a nice bruise where he hit the rocks below. Eragon got merely a few meters before Saphira caught & gripped him in her talon's "Behave Eragon and it wont be that bad, but if you struggle I will be forced to use my tongue to clean you" said saphira with a humerous chuckle. The next 10 minutes consisted of Saphira bathing Eragon in the only way she knew how without licking him........shacking him like a rag doll in the water then rubbing her scaled forearm to scrape away the grime, gently of course to avoid tearing his skin off.

Nasuada sat at her desk in her tent among the Varden camp, signing for this, granting leave to personell, overseeing the varden's finances, that was until she got to a letter, it was un-signed but was adressed to Nasuada personaly. She opened as she did as always and began to read.

Dear Nasuada

Lets see how the varden do withuot their precious Rider!

Kind Regards

Galbatorix

Nasuada read the letter a second time, before standing and yelling to the men outside her tent "Guard! Bring me Eragon now!".

One of the soldier's came into the tent and bowed formally before informing Nasuada "I am sorry m'lady but Eragon left with Saphira late yesterday and have yet to return".

"Fine get me Arya then" said Nasuada fearing the worst.

"yes m'lady" said the guard bowing before exiting the tent.

If Eragon get's himself killed then the Varden are doomed to fall with the dragon race

Eragon was dragged out of the lake by saphira holding him in her tail after she finnaly deemed him clean. "why do you always do that Saphira" said Eragon with a slight chuckle

Saphira turned to look at her dripping Rider "because, it amuses me and besides other people think better of a rider that smell's respectfull rather than a urine soaked mutt" replied Saphira with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "and now it is time to dry off little one"

"like I have a choice" replied Eragon with amusement clear in his voice as he was carried by Saphira's tail into the sun were she lay down upon her back and dropped Eragon off on her upper chest, Eragon stretched out belly first along saphiras chest and rubbed along Saphira's chest and neck area as they sat together and enjoyed each other's company while the sun provided warmth

They continued to rest in the sun apon the bank of the lake, watching as birds flew overhead or the clouds shifting whatever happened to be more interesting at the time. They continued to rest until the sun was high overhead and Eragon became parched "Im going to get a drink Saphira where is the pack?" he asked

Saphira lazily pointed towards a moss covered oak tree that rested nearby with her tail, then just let her tail flop to the ground where it was.

Eragon chuckled at Saphira's behaviour, it was a shame they couldnt spend more time together like this with out worries, just the two of them. He reached in the pack and retrieved his water flask as he unscrewed the cap, he noticed Saphira begin to sniff the air thought nothing of it and skuled as much as he could in one breath.

The pain hit instantly, his throat, mouth and lips all were burning and it kept burning deeper into his gut the further the liquid travelled. He heard Saphira roar in pain as she rushed over to him. He felt weak oh so very weak, he felt Saphira's mind pull at his as the world went black around him his last sight was of Saphira. Im sorry Saphira, I failed

There you have it the first chapter of what I think is already my best story but let's leave that to the reader's. Read and review
