Eragon frowned slightly as he stepped into Nasuada's pavilion spotting a circle of chairs. Nasuada sat right in the back of the tent Jormundur on her left and Elva on her right then Arya. There was a seat for him and then a large space for Saphira's head then Roran.
"Hello Eragon." Nasuada said. Eragon bowed and Nasuada nodded in return. "You may take a seat." She motioned to the empty chair.
He sat down as Saphira brought her head through the hole causing Roran to jump. She smirked and snorted filling the pavilion with smoke that erupted from her nostril.
"Arya has gathered us here this fine morn to share with us some news from the Elvin side." Nasuada announced and everyone looked at Arya.
"Queen Islanzadi contacted me this morning." Arya started after a moment. "She gave me great and bad news."
"And what is this news?" Nasuada asks.
Arya hesitated before continuing. "Upon her arrival in Bullridge they found a young girl hiding in a cellar. She was fourteen and her name was Ilian (happiness), she was scared out of her wits and when they approached her she held up her hands pleading, that's when they saw the Gedwëy ignasia, she was a dragon rider, and even more surprising she was neither human nor elf, she was exactly like you." Arya looked at Eragon.
"Did Queen Islanzadi find Ilian's dragon?" Nasuada asked.
"She searched the girls mind and found out everything. I shall tell you it in a moment, but she also found the location of the dragon. It was about the size of a full grown cat and she his it in a potato sack!" She exclaimed.
"It couldn't have been any older than a week or two if I remember correctly." Eragon said looking at Saphira.
"Precisely." Arya said.
"So tell us what this girl's story was." Nasuada said calmly.
"Her mother was a woman named Eloisa, she was the slave daughter of a very rich Forsworn Rider named Demonic, who lived in Uru'baen. One day at the age of thirteen Eloisa found that Demonic had chosen her as a bride so she ran away from home.
When Eloisa ran away she got hurt and in moral peril when a man named Tariff saved her. He took her to his camp for he was on his way home from a mission. She was unconscious by then and he was watching over her fearing that if she woke she would leave him.
He took her to his home in a small city in Du Welden Varden called Kirtan. He kept her in his house for two weeks when she finally woke. She was very surprised to find that she was living in the house of a Dragon Rider and his orange dragon Deloi. (Earth) And even more he was an elf, and he had fallen in love with her, a slave girl.
They lived together in total bliss for almost five years when one of Demonic's slaves found her and Tariff in Dras Leona. Demonic went after her and stole her away taking her back to Uru'baen.
Demonic was killed by Tariff two weeks later, but not before Tariff's Deloi was. In his grief Tariff left Alagaesia swearing never to return. Eloisa never got the chance to tell him that she was pregnant.
She died when her twins were born. A boy and a girl; Ilian and Mor'ranr (Peace) by this time Galbatorix had taken Eloisa for his own 'slave', and when she bore children he was sure they were his own, but of course she knew they were Tariff's. And he was surprised to find them the normal size when they were born two months early, even though they were right on time. The conclusion for Eloisa's death was that the children were premature-birth and she couldn't handle it.
Ilian and Mor'ranr grew up under Galbatorix's servant's guidance. They have seen him maybe once ore twice in there entire lives and only briefly, he has never stopped to talk to them, and he obviously doesn't know what they look like. The servant and his wife and children try to hide their ears by growing their hair long.The servant was Eloisa's brother Karaka, he knew of the children's real father and knew that if Galbatorix were to find out they would be killed.
Four days ago on their fourteenth birthday Karaka told them of their father and of the final dragon's egg. Ilian told her uncle that she would find the dragon's egg and escape and run to the Varden. So she for the next three weeks she planned on how to steal the egg and when she finally found it, it hatched. She took to the baby dragon and fled Uru'baen. She ended up in Bullridge and his in the attack of a house at the sight of Thorn and Murtagh. She fears them more than Galbatorix because she was supposed to become his bride in only a few short days and she fears that the same thing will happen to her that happened to her mother." She ended looking at Eragon.
"What of her brother?" Roran blurted.
"He is still in Uru'baen probably grieving his sister for they and everyone else thinks she has died." Arya replied.
"So no one else knows of her?" Nasuada asks.
"No one."
"Then we must keep it a secret. Where is Queen Islanzadi sending her?"
"She has decided to send her with one other elf here. The elf will be a guard for you."
"Who will train her?" Elva asked and as always Eragon shivered at her voice.
"Eragon of course, with Gleadr helping him he shall have all the knowledge he needs."
"If I can get Gleadr to help." Eragon pointed out.
"You shall teach her what you know till that time." Eragon nodded.
So why have you called Roran here?Saphira asked looking at Roran. No offense.
"No it's alright I would like to know myself."
"Well as Eragon's cousin and as a captain I thought you might like to know that he shall not be fighting for awhile." Roran nodded.
"Alright, I think I can deal with that."
"You said this was bad news as well." Eragon stated.
"Well, we're not too sure of Galbatorix's influence on her yet." Arya replied weariness clear in her voice.
"I see." Nasuada replied. "Well Eragon I think you and Saphira should rest, she will be arriving tomorrow and I want you to be in a fit mood. And be sure to thinks of yourself as you teach her, she is only two years younger and you have a lot in common." Arya said.
"I agree with her Eragon, go get some rest and be here an hour before sunrise tomorrow."
"Yes My Lady." He says bowing and leaving the pavilion.
They fly back to his tent in total silence and Eragon is surprised to see a tent already set up next to his own.
HE lies down on his cot and starts to consider what Arya had said, him and this girl really did have a lot in common.
Your mother's both worked for a Forsworn
Our mother's both left a forsworn
You were both raised by your uncles
We both hate Galbatorix
You both hate Murtagh
We both are very young and don't understand all this too well
She also has left family behind, remember Little one she will want to search for her brother just as you wanted to search for Roran.
I know, I hope that it won't distract her too much.
Sleep Little One, you have much to do tomorrow
We have much to do
Yes I guess we both do, but I need to sleep to make sure this isn't a dream, that there is another free dragon
That we're not alone anymore
That it's a male!
That she's practically my age, we have so much in common, and she's pretty enough for Murtagh to claim her and that she's also immortal.
Let's sleep and dream good dreams
I agree
Eragon drifted into an easy sleep dreaming of the girl and her small dragon. Yes tomorrow was going to be a big day.
