❛ I’m going to die in 24 hours. ❜
Her tone is plain. Matter-of-fact. There is nothing to be done about her fate. Both her and a multitude of Du Vrangr Gata sorcerers have tried everything in their power. No one has seen anything like it before, and no one dares to guess its Name – nor any words, which could potentially stop it. There is a very thin line between cure and an even worse fate. So she has told them to stop. To go back to worrying about more important things and people. People such as the Rider before her, who – no doubt – will do something stupid as soon as he has left her tent.
She did not want to tell him until there was no other way. Until she knew for a fact that she would die. In fact, she has considered not telling him at all. But her skin is greying, her vision is blurring and the darkness in her blood is spreading. There is no hiding it, and, as mentioned before, Eragon is prone to taking moronic action if he thinks he can help. She needs him to understand that he cannot.
There is something else, too. For no matter how much she tries to make it seem like she does not care, her insides are squirming and her heart has made its nest in the pit of her stomach. She is AFRAID. She needs to know that there is something good in this world, and she is tired of running from any positive thing she feels. Particularly what she feels for him. Imminent death has forced her to face it.
❛ Before that, I want to kiss you just once. ❜
This time, her voice is uncertain.
Small.
