Falling For The Shadeslayer

Chapter 1

Eragon's P. O. V.

"Ow! Arya! What was that for? You just about broke my arm!" I yell at Arya, who right now is smiling sheepishly. We were practicing sword fighting, even though we killed Galbatorix, both of us have many enemies. So, what harm is practicing?

"You're just a wuss! I was far from breaking your arm. And come on, Nasuada wants to discus something with us in town," Arya replies drawing closer.

"I wonder what it is this time, I mean, I know she's the queen and all, but she's starting to annoy me with all these discussions we're having," I openly tell Arya.

"Just be kind," she tells me hopping on Fírnen. I hop on Saphira letting Arya take the lead.

When we get into town we circle the castle, waiting for the small crowd below us to clear. Hmm... everyone must be in the kitchens.

Emma's P. O. V.

I saw a blue and a green dragon circling overhead. The only ones in all of Alagaësia who ride together on a blue and a green dragon are the Shadeslayers. Wow. Now I'm excited. Eragon and Arya had killed Galbatorix and freed many, including me, from his enslavement.

I'm only a couple years younger then Eragon, he is 18 and I am 16. I've always dreamed of being able to have a dragon, and the fact that Eragon has one, it just makes me like him even more. I like how he was just a boy, trying to survive, and he found an egg, which hatched for him, and became famous. Of corse, to Galbatorix, this dragon should have been of riddance, but I'm very glad that Eragon manages to keep himself and Saphira safe. And yes, he is very handsome, which only makes it all the worse for me. I know that no matter how much I wish he did, he'll never notice me.

Eragon's P. O. V.

When we landed, I felt the stares of many of my back. I climb of of Saphira and turn around. Many are staring, but I notice only one.

She has long red hair, straight. She is about my age, a couple years younger. She looks sad. I don't want to invade in her privacy by looking in her mind, to see what's wrong, but I do want to know what's wrong.

"Eragon, we have to go inside now. Nasuada will be expecting us any moment now," Arya says pulling me towards the door.
