Aaron stood still and looked up to the sky. He was dressed casual for a prince. Just a plane black shirt, and regular jeans, and black shoes. Casual nothing fancy or expensive. Well i suppose he is a King not a Prince. Aaron dose not give this much thought at all. His waist length hair was down instead of up. With out thinking he took the tie from his wrist. Putting his hair up in a loose pony tail. Closing his eyes for a moment, Lara should be here in two days. The warm sunshine beat down on the small town of Caravahall. Hunter's were coming back while some where still gone. Aaron looked to the spine in the distant. The woods frightened some most dare not hunt in the Spine no longer. For fear of never returning, that was then this is now. Larka was staying with Eragon's older brother and his wife. Dust stirred on the road as a plow horse was rode back home. Carrying a deer on its back. It was a good sized buck three points. Likely the man and his son were headed to the butcher. " Good hunt today Prince Aaron " the man said. " it seems to be a good year for it " Aaron anwsered back. " You bet! " the ten year old boy said, a large smile on his face that was growing. Aaron walked along the rode he rather liked, staying Caravahll anymore. It was a small town but it was peaceful, a good change from everything else. Birds chirped dogs ran away, some were chasing the cats. Mother's voice came fussing over there children. Someone let out a high pitched laugh, and a boy and his friends were playing tag. Perhaps it was the young girl who had been laughing. Aaron smiled softly at them. Aaron however kept walking, the clink-clink-clink-hiss of the Smithie's shop came to his ears. A dog was eating fat out side the butchers shop. The butcher was negoating with a few man, on the price haggling it never goes away. Someone was buying something in the distance. Thud-hiss-thud-hiss the sound of someone practiceing archery. Thump-thump that was throwing knives or maby a saxe knife. Saxe knifes aren't really ment for throwing however. Aaron kept walking to Rowan and Catherines house, where Larka was staying.

Lara rode into the small town on her mustang filly. Beautiful Flicka came to a halt. Lara patted her neck. " You did a wonderful job my beatiful filly" Lara told the filly. Beautiful Flicka suddenly took in a snort of air. But caught the scent of someone. She reared throwing Lara off. She bolted. She ran until she saw Aaron. Then slid to a halt. She nickered. Lara could hear her filly. But, she was flat on her back. The filly was strong and fast. But, would be easy to be known as Lara's.

Aaron was about to turn to go up some steps. Before the filly got close Aaron had turned around. Seeing the filly running up he thought he noticed someone laying down. 'Flicka?' he thought casually in his mind. With a soft sigh and was that a small smile as well? He knew she must have thrown Lara again. Walking back letting the filly fallow him at her own pace. After awhile he stood at Lara's side. " Need a hand up? " he asked in a kind casual tone. Yet amusent was there as well. His golden eyes looking down at Lara. A hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth. It has been three months since they had seen each other.

Lara looked up at him. " Yeah, I need a hand up" she said. She looked to her filly. Beautiful Flicka was pracning in a spot. She was happy. She was proud of herself. But, she looked to Lara as if to say 'I hope your happy'. Lara hadn't smiled in days. So she smiled now.

Taking her hand he pulled her with obvious ease up. As if she weighed nothing at all. The wind was light today creating a small breeze. Cooling down some of the heat, it was in the eightys. Aaron knew he needed to go and get Larka. Absent mindly saying something about picking someone up. Turning on the spot be began to walk off. His pace was casual and his mind was wandering. Lara was hear earlyer, this could be a problem. Aaron had not intended for Lara to meet Larka yet. This he had a feeling would not go over well maby it would settle out faster. Knock-knock Aaron now waited for the reply. The door opened with a small squeaking sound. " Aaron " Rowan said " Catherine get Larka Aaron's here to pick her up " "All right.". Aaron knew Lara was standing behind him, he sinced this all to well. Stepping back down to the steps. Knowing how Larka can be at times. " Just in time she'll be out in a few minutes me and Catherine need to get going. " Rowan said giving Aaron a small hug as did Catherine. Aaron had dropped Larka off here for a few days. Suddenly it almost sounded like the girl almost called him dad or..had she as she ran down the steps in obvious happiness. Jumping up Aaron picked her up " How's my faviorte girl?" he asked Larka, he had a fatherly tone speakeing to her. As if forgetting Lara was there. Aaron had raised Larka of course he'd be this way around her, and of course she'd think Dad everytime she saw him. He threw her up in the air Larka squelled with happiness. Holding her with one arm now he turned and looked to Lara. Sincing something " Larka run in and get your things alright " he said softly sitting her down Larka, looked just like Aaron. But with brown eyes " Okie" she said happiyl and ran inside to get her belongings. Aaron waited he had a idea how this was going to go.

Lara was confused big time. " Ok is that your daughter or am I losing my mind. She looks just like you" she said. She backed up and stood near her filly. Beautiful Flicka didn't understand but knew when something was wrong.

Aaron sighed he sighed he had not wanted Lara and Larka to meet under this...circumentance. Unexpected and well obviusly unerving to Lara. " I'd know that is what you would think. But no Lara she is not my daughter. Even if she thinks she is. She is my little sister, she's seven now. " his tone was casual yet something else unable to be identified was in it. " come " he said " Larka i'll be back in a minute stay here " he said. Larka had just come outside " Ok daddie " she said softly. He lead Lara out of earshot. " Lara when Larka was born are father was killed in battle, my mother passed when she was three months. In short yes Larka is aware enough to call me brother, yet as far as she is concered i'm her father " Aaron seemed to not think to much of this anymore. It made since Aaron raised Larka, it was natural for her to call him father. Perhaps Aaron was used to it he seemd fatherly towards Larka, which probably comes from raising her. Which also took away a childhood yet he seemed to not mind.

Lara looked at him. " Alright, I understand. I just haven't seen you in three months. I guess my mind isn't working right" she said. She looked over to Larka and smiled slightly. But, knew she'd get used to it.

Aaron had a feeling that no she did not get it. Aaron looked to Larka he said something in elvish. Larka anwsered in it then ran over happily. Look from Aaron to Lara she blinked confused. But a bright spark lept in to her eyes. " Hi i'm Larka " Larka said happily she stood slightly behind Aaron. Aaron smiled down at her, Larka looked up to him. The little girl seemed to not notice Aaron was her big brother. Infact she likely was unable to think of him as her brother. Aaron reached down and took her backback from her. " I did not expect you to be here Lara for another two days." he said distractedly. Now however it was likely obvious why Aaron is so good with little kids. " come on now we should get back " He said " your both likely to be hungry " he said he used magic to teleoport them somewhere else. It was a large town somewere near Du Weldenvarden. You coudl see it from here anyways, they where inside a large castle. Aaron took Larka stuff to her room, and Larka had followed him. Aaron seemed somehow distant as if something was on his mind. Yet Larka did not notice at all. Not long after Aaron came back the war was over so it was, likely why he was letting her finally come back. For Aaron this place probably always seemed sad to him, he could remember everything that had happened. Larka was blissful and unaware of the tragedy. Aaron was standing in front of Lara now. He had become good friends with her. He told her to just pick a room, " I'll have food ready in awhile, is there anything specific you wish to eat?" apprently this was a perfectly normal question.

" Nope, I'll eat anything. I haven't eaten in a few days. But, where do you think I can put Flicka. She has to go somewhere" said Lara. She knew the filly was just outside waiting to be put somewhere.

Aaron simply said " Don't worry about that " as he was walking past her. After he put Flicka in a stall, which opened up into a pasture. He fetched her some fresh hay and cold water and grain, mixed with steam oats. Once that was taken care of her he walked back inside. After awhile he said " Foods ready " as he walked past Lara. To go fetch Larka when he came back with Larka, her was brushed out. She was talking exictedly about something to Aaron, clearly it was in there language however. He simply smiled and nodded poilelty, asking all the right questions. Larka was clearly thrilled. ..(skip till next day Larka's playing with some friends outside).
Aaron came down from his study room, Larka was playing happily outside with a group of five friends. Games switched with games and never seemed to stop. Aaron's hair was down today he had not yet put it up. Not talking much to Lara but seemed to be in a better mood now. It was nice the war being over and all. Saphira was off with Gladiar , and Thorn for the day. Gladiar was the oldest of the group. Three months..that can seem like a long time to some people. He stopped when he noticed Lara. " Anywhere you'd like to go? " he asked no longer distracted. Knowing she'd likely have alot of questions.

Lara looked to him. " Not really. But, do you think I could set up some jumps? I need to work with Flicka. That's mainly why we came here. I need to train harder. In five months from today I'm going away with a few friends to a show" she said. She could hear her filly in the stall. She knew it would be good to work on some skills.

Aaron looked at her he could train the mare to the point, she knew what to do and how to do it. Making it unfair to others but, its not like they would notice. " You get her up i'll fix the jumps " it was half to himself half to her. Aaron set the jumps up in an arena well, a jumping arena that is. Once that was done he went and found her. Telling her where they where at, she may have seen it before. " Just let me know if you need anything " he said , as he turned around to walk off to who knowns where.

Lara put her helmet and protective vest on. Then got her little whip. She mounted Flicka. She rode over the arena. She easily opened the gate and went in then shut it again. She easily got her filly to canter around the arena before starting to jump the fences.

It was later in the day Aaron had mentioned something about going down by the river. When he got there he sat down it was a hour or a few hours past noon. Looking at the water he whispered " Brisngr, Adurna " with that fire sprang up on top of the water spirling up. Fire spin was the exact term for the shape the fire took on. The waters were bubbels springing forth and joining the fire. Lightnign seem to come from the combintion holding it together. It was truly beautiful mezemerzing, stunning and glorious all at once.

Lara kept going over the jumps with Flicka. But, Flicka skid to a stop in front of a jump. Lara forgot to hold on tightly. She flew off and hit her head off the ground. Flicka freaked out. She reared up. She kept doing that. She looked at Lara. Lara just wouldn't wake up now.

Aaron sinced something the fire and water danced for a moment. Searching he stood up releasing the spell, fire and water fell into the creek. The fire danced for awhile over the water surface before it too faded away to nothingness. Using speed Aaron ran back and quickly covering the ground and, just vaulting over the fence. Stopped and walked over to Lara, moving he kneeled down by her side. ' Easy now girl it's alright ' he said softly in Flicka's mind. While he picked Lara up and took the helmet carefully off of her head. Probably hit her head pretty hard if his guess was right. Resting her head on his knee he used elven healing magic to heal her but also wake her up. His golden eyes watching her in a calm manner, he was used to this by now.

Flicka calmed down. Lara woke up. But, her head was bugging her. " What happened? All I remember is falling off" she said. The filly snorted and stretched her neck out. But, the reins were keeping her from actually moving her neck out far enough to see.

" likely Flicka stalled at the jump " he said the rest could be explained without words. He stayed still letting her rest on his knee. Using Magic to heal her fully now that she was awake. He kissed her forehead softly. Standing up at the same time picking her up like she weighed nothing and sitting her on her feet.

" I guess she just doesn't like that jump. I'm going to have to work her with it" said Lara. She walked around the jump to Flicka. The scared filly backed away. It was like something was wrong. Flicka snorted and reared. Lara was shocked.
