Summary
Blödhgarm’s soft voice called out to her. “Drottningu,” he beckoned, not moving his eyes from the hollow.
Squatting beside him to gaze into the depths of the tree, she was surprised to find a pair of eyes already staring back at her. Two large, very familiar brown eyes.Within the oak stood a baby boy, at most a little over a year old. He had small ears that grew to points, and softly slanting eyes that conveyed clear terror within. Small sticks and detritus had accumulated in the child’s curly brown hair, and he wore nothing but an overly large tunic, so long that it reached past his feet.
Spotting the latest arrival, the boy let out a frightened cry and shuffled further into the hollow, his back pressing hard against the internal wood of the tree.
“Hello sweetheart,” she breathed, moving down to his level and doing her best to seem non-threatening.
At the sound of her voice, the soft brown eyes materialized once more, his head now cocked to the side with reluctant curiosity.
Extending a tendril of thought, Arya whispered quietly within the recesses of the mind before her. Eragon? She asked. The responding brush of his consciousness confirmed what she already suspected.
