"That is a great accomplishment, to have escaped her power. And I'll help you keep it that way... forever."

Eragon sighed. "I dont want you mixed up with my mother....ever." he mumbled, turning away. "I'm not strong enough...." he mumbled even quieter to himself. Banon didnt hear the last part...she heard him say something, but did not know what.

"Hmm?" Banon asked. "I am going to have to be mixed up with her sometime, if I am to ... repeat that last part will you?"

Eragon shook his head stubbornly. "Nope." he said. "You wont mess with her....if you are to what?" he asked, suddenly interested in what she had to say.

"I'll tell you what I was going to say if you'll tell me what you were going to say," Banon said seriously.

"I said that I couldnt lose you because I'm not strong enough...now what were you going to say?" he asked seriously back.

"Linked to that... if I am to be your life-bonded." She stared back just as seriously.

"You mean like, married?" he asked, sitting up straighter.

"No. Something much more permanent than that. And you don't have to. It's a natural thing-- if we're not meant for each other, then we can't do it." She peered at him from underneath long lashes, trying to read his expression but not invading his mind.

Eragon was quiet for a moment. "Explain...." he said carefully. He waited for an answer.

"Well... it's kind of a spell. It originated with the ancient race, but it's been passed down to several others. The diluted.. extremely.. version is marriage. We would weave the spell together. That takes about a day, and we fast the day before. Then to seal it and activate it.. we.. you know." She looked at him shyly. "I'm not forcing you to do it or anything. We'll know if it's not meant to be that way, and if we do want to know that, I know not."

Eragon sighed deeply. "Ok lets do it. Better to know than not to...." he said. He kissed her deeply. "Are you sure YOU want to go through with this?" he asked.

"Would I have suggested it if I didn't want to?" Banon replied, returning with another kiss. "I suggest we wait a week though. We just met, practically. And we want to have time to gather strength. It takes a lot out of you. If you have any precious stones imbued with energy, bring those."

" Ok, I will." he sighed. In a week, he would know if him and Banon were meant to be together. He was kind of scared, but ready to know.

"I think we are." Banon kissed Eragon's neck since he was sitting erect and looking straight forward and she was leaning on him.
