The queen, the most powerful faerie in the room, felt Eragon's ears intruding on the conversation but ignored it. She finally brought the meeting to an end, with an agreement to let Banon back in on certain conditions. She sent the guards to get Eragon.

Eragon felt the guards coming and quickly switched out of deamon form. He went back to human and sat on a bench, shifting uncomfortably.

The guards gestured for Eragon to follow them. The three of them entered the long room, at the end of which the queen was seated, slumped tiredly. "We'll take her back. But she can't reside here for long periods of time, and she must stay near my quarters so that the guards can watch her. She'll live, though, and that's what you wanted, isn't it?" She rubbed her forehead tiredly, her age showing through for a brief moment.

"yes, i would expect no less. She can still live in the human world...if she wants to that is." he turned his gaze down. "I dont think i could live here...the faeries would riot...wouldnt they?"

The queen kept her level gaze on him. "Yes. That is an impossibility with the faeries already having such a hard time with discrimination against each other. To introduce a new species could yield drastic results." Her eyes became more tender as she added,"You and Banon would be happier in a world free of silly politics, anyways."

Eragon looked up at the queen, meeting her eyes. "I'm not exactly a 'new species' to them....theyve seen my kind and know me fairly well...as you already know, I am 3 different types of species...well you know of 2. Am I correct?" he followed the queens surprised eyes as he said 3.

"Yes... may I ask what third you are?" she said, suspicion and hooded fear in her eyes as she gripped her staff tightly. "I meant introduced to their own home."

"First tell me which ones you know..." he returned, hoping she didnt know the deamon. He felt her tugging at his mind and he forced her out with a powerful hit. She reeled back, looking angry. "Dont try to invade my mind. It is too powerful for anyone to get in without permission." he said calmly.

"Banon got in," she said coolly, knowing that Banon was stronger than herself. But she also knew that from her traces, she hadn't forced her way in. And the third thing she knew was that with a faerie, sharing minds was the most intimate kind of connection that was nearly unbreakable. "I know that you are human and God. What else are you?"

"Are you sure you want to know? You will fear me if you do....I am far more powerful than you think I am. And as you most certainly already know, Banon did not force her way into my mind, nor did I force myself into hers."

"I knew that. And no, I don't want to know, for I fear that you will hold power once you tell me and I don't want you to. Begone! You've gotten what you want." The queen sighed and rubbed her forehead. Her shoes were killing her feet, even as she sat in her throne. With a graceful sweep of her hand she dismissed the red-haired boy and retreated into her inner rooms, where she would get one of her ladies-in-waiting to comb her hair, which was always soothing.

Eragon shuffled out of the palace and opened his mind fully to Banon. "K, done. Youre back in the faerie society...and i didnt even have to use my magic. You know, you really do need to thank your cousin when you return." he mumbled, sending it in a mind message to banon.

Banon already knew. She felt so alive--she could finally reach the swirling well of magic that she hadn't known for a year now. The first thing she did was stretch as her wings ruffled back into their original glory. She removed her unclean clothes and started a fire, burning her belongings that she'd had as an outcast. She could start anew, as who she was, and live. She grinned with feral happiness. Thank you, Eragon Engyl. I shall thank her as well. I would also like to thank you in person. Banon hadn't been this happy in a long, long time. She had someone to share her happiness with, and she could create things again, use her magic. She pulled a bit of magic up to send a wad of energy towards the fire, which burned violet for a minute before returning to its yellow-orange brilliant beauty. As Eragon walked back, she washed her hair in the creek and crushed rose petals from her garden in water to scent it. The violet-black fall reached her pale lavender hipbones. By this time it was night again, and the moon lit up her tall pale body. She danced around the huge, crackling fire, waiting for her newfound love.

Eragon felt Banon's excitement and her passion. She was waiting for him. He quickened his pace and eventually just decided to fly. He changed quickly into angel form and sped towards her home. He landed behind her and wrapped her in a gigantic hug. "I love you" he whispered in her ear, nibbling on the top of it. She turned around...
