Eragon sighed and leaned back on the leg of Saphira, his eyes closed. How tired he was. They had only been marching... Slowly... But this seemed to take a lot of energy out of him. He knew he needed to be patient for the time being and also knew that he was needed here, with the Varden. There was nowhere else to go but he sometimes wished that he could do something, anything... Then again, if that were the case then he would wish to be in this situation once again. That aside there was also the matter of the new Rider, Arya, also one of his closest friends and someone he respected greatly. He needed to train her but was not entirely sure where to start, the fact that she was an elf meant that he couldn't start with what he learnt from Master Oromis. He ran a hand through his brown hair and looked into Saphira's brilliant blue eye as she turned her head toward him.
You need to relax your mind, little one. I know what it is that plagues your mind, if you allow your mind to clear then you will know what to do. She said after a few moments of silence.
She could read him like a book, well, their minds were connected after all. He smiled in a worried way but released another sigh.
You are right... He responded after a few moments, Perhaps I will meditate for a few moments.
They were standing before his tent and, therefore, it was simple enough for him to walk inside. This was what he did. He sat upon the floor and closed his eyes clearing his mind of all thoughts.
I shall inform you if anyone wishes to seek your counsel Saphira stated with a small chuckle.
Saphira flicked her tail and snapped at the insects that flew around her face. She could go flying but something told her to remain grounded, at least for the moment. She closed her eyes feigning sleep for a few moments. Of course, if anyone approached then she would be able to hear them. Neither she nor Eragon were in any imminent danger. Not only was she there to protect Eragon but surely Blodgarm and the other elves were around somewhere? Although she hadn't seen them... But she could sense them. A scent filled her nostrils and her eyes flickered open suddenly. With annoyance she saw someone approaching and reached out to them with her mind. Whether or not they would allow her to talk to them was another matter...
