-------------------------

Standing by the entrance of her tent, the young varden leader looked over the landscape of Surda. The light from the fires in the camp of varden soldiers lit up the clouded night skies. It has been over two weeks since the Battle on the Burning Plains. Two weeks of sadness for the varden leader. It had been easier to deal with the fact of Murtagh, being dead. Instead of alive on the other side of the fight. The varden feels hatred towards the boy, dwarves ready to behead him when he comes in reach from the death of their king. For the closer ones to the boy, grief and frustration racks their minds and bodies. The young rider, Eragon, has left to finish his training with the elves after he had helped his cousin retrieve his young bride. He seemed to have taken the news of Murtagh being alive and his brother hard. Nasuada only hoped returning to training would take his mind off the boy. For the varden leader though, it was harder for anyone. She had informed Eragon, many months ago, soon after they had thought Murtagh was dead, she was having his child. They both kept silent about the father but informed the ranks of her position.

Now, standing, over looking the area where a battle had raged a few weeks ago, hands rested upon her swelling stomach. A sad smile was upon her lips as the young child moved within her. It would be soon that the young daughter would be welcomed into the world, without a father. The thought of her daughter being an out cast for having him for a father was devastating and heartbreaking. The fact was that the varden would not accept the child for she held the blood of a forsworn and a traitor, she had not told them who the father was. Nasuada would not keep the identity of her child's father from her daughter. It wouldn't be right. The baby would have a right to know who is her father, not to have to wander the world in wonder of who it could be.

She's got a baby inside

And holds her belly tight

All through the night

Just so she knows

She's sleeping so

Safely to keep

Her growing

Turning from the now closed entrance, orbs landed upon her stomach as she made her way to the bed where she rested. Thinking of the gorgeous looks of Murtagh, she could only think that their daughter would be beautiful. Maybe her eyes would reflect the same dark brown color that will match her father's perfectly. Or the brunette locks that haunted her dreams. Would she have the dark tan skin of her mother or the light of her father's. Only time stood in the way of her knowing. She knew that the varden would be chaotic when the child arrives but she would do all she can to keep the ranks in line so they can end this war once and for all.

Making her way to the bed where she rested, the covers were pulled down and showed signs that she had already been laying in it but arose before morning. Crawling under the covers, Nasuada laid upon her back, staring up at the ruffled fabric that moved with a grace that reminded her of that of a dragon's wing beating in the air, the tent moved with the light wind. The peaceful silence fell around the young leader, reminding her even more of that one night she had spent with her love. She had visited him up in the well furnished and comfortable room of his a few times. She had spent over eight hours in that room, talking and laughing with the boy. It wasn't until the night before the battle did they allow their, fast growing feelings to interact.

Oh when she'll open her eyes

There'll be no surprise

She'll grow to be

so beautifully

just like her mother

that's carrying

Sleep willed to take over the mother to allow her to rest, only her thoughts never allowed it to complete its task. Murtagh flooded every inch of her mind. Thoughts of his young childhood he had informed her of, where was he now, what had happened to him in the time he had been taken and presumed dead? Did he accept what was to become of himself or did he fight against the will of the king? Would he be punished for not taking Eragon during the battle? Would she ever see him again, standing next to her as a friend, not foe? Her unrestful mind circled the questions around in her thoughts as sleep slid in to allow the thoughts to be forgotten and dreams of peace fill her mind.

In the week to come, the cries of a young daughter echoed from the leader's tent. A young, tan skinned daughter cried in the dark skinned mother's arms, tears running down her cheeks to see the healthy baby in her arms. Katrina. The doctors stood by to watch the glorious sight of young life being born in a time of war and death. Messengers were sent to the elves to inform Eragon and Arya of the child's arrival. Katrina, who helped with the delivery stood next to Nasuada after the doctors had been ushered she asked what was the child's name. Nasuada, raising her head to allow herself to see who was speaking then returned to the now silent fragile child. Those eyes opened, revealing exact duplicates of Murtagh's. A smile that could erase all hatred in life came to her as another tear fell.

"Oh Capri."

Oh Capri

She's beauty

Baby inside She's loving

Oh Capri

The first walk within the ranks of the varden, with babe wrapped up in a warm blanket to shelter her from the world, Nasuada, allowed the men of the army to lay eyes upon Capri. The sight of new life, so young and innocent, it brought hope to those who began to dwell that there was none. Brought tears to many who had to leave their families to help bring an end to the war. The effect of the young varden 'princess' was enough for anyone to notice. The solid, scarred, and hard eyes turned more lifelike. Humor had returned to many of the men during training and hard work.

As the small child effected the troops, the council members also fell to the effect of the innocent Capri. The fact that many other babies were being born in this world of violence and war and that they would soon be effected by it or already have. Many will never know their fathers, brothers, or relatives. Themselves might even loose their own lives if the war continues to where they reach the age. The ending of the war was becoming more than just liberating Alegaseia from a Tyrant, but for the young children that shouldn't grow up in violence. The dramatic change gave even Nasuada a glimpse of hope that, if the identity of Capri's father was revealed, she wouldn't be rejected from the world. She was a hope bringer.

She's Beauty

there is an angel growing peacfully

Oh Capri

Sweet Baby

Within a month, an urgent message from Eragon was handed to Nasuada as she played with the young Capri who had began to grow a dark shade of hair. Capri showed more looks and characteristics from her father more than any of Nasuada. The Varden leader loved her baby even more for the fact it was almost like she could be closer to Murtagh through her. Reading the letters upon the parchment, a smile was etching across her face at the news. She would only inform the one who it was for and no one else. The fact of this secret being revealed to the empire could destroy their chances. Requesting the presence of Roran, Nasuada held her daughter in her arms. When the older cousin of Eragon's, and Murtagh's entered she smiled and told him to take a seat.

"This letter came from Eragon with a request you to come to Ellesmeria."

Roran, with confusion written over his expressions, read the letter that Nasuada had been given. Shock was the first expression, then acceptance.

"I would like to inform Katrina about this, before answering the request of my cousin, Milady."

She gave him a nod of acceptance for him to do so. Standing, Roran was about to exit when he turned back, asking if he could ask a question. She nodded to that also.

"Who do you think would help the Varden from inside the Capital?"

She gave a warm smile as she spoke,

"He is blood to you, and to Eragon. I believe this is who has good intentions for the Varden."

Roran nodded before exiting the tent to return to his own and pack for the trip to Ellesmeria, which he would be returning to with the elf messenger.

That night, laying in bed with a sleeping Capri in her arms, the young mother thought about her love who she was sure that had given the Varden the upper hand when he learned something before the king himself. She could not help but speak her thank you's in her drifting mind. With every fiber in her body, every ounce of hope and love she had, she knew that her love, her red rider, she knew that he had sent the emerald egg to Eragon with the use of magic. She knew he had, somehow, figured out who was the dragon's rider and with the egg, the note attached to it reading; "For Roran." Nasuada knew it was him.

Eyes shifted to look down at the small form of her daughter. Dark shade of hair would be gorgeous in the shining sunlight. Her hidden brown eyes were so of life with no care in the world. Nasuada would do everything in her power to end this war. With a new rider on the rise in the Varden, both sides of the fight would be equal in strength. Two dragons, two riders, two armies, only one battle. It was the beginning of the end of the war. Her thoughts felt the war and dragons as her eye lids fell over her beautiful eyes as she dreamed of her brown eyed love holding there brown eyed daughter. The soft words coming from him.

"Oh Capri."

Things will be hard at times

But I've learned to try

just listening

patiently

Oh Capri

Sweet Baby

Oh Capri

She's Beauty

Baby inside she's loving

Oh Capri

you're beauty

Just like your mother

that's carrying
