Little Murtagh's Fight for Life
Prologue
This story was written for my friend Rachel who loves Murtagh! Read, Enjoy and Review please!
Selena smiled down upon her new born son. As she gazed down upon him, his eyes edged open. A tiny smile crept across his face. Selena nearly cried with joy as his tiny grey-blue eyes danced as he looked at her. She held him close. This would be the only peaceful minutes she would have with him.
The sound of heavy footsteps echoed down the corridor.
Selena gritted her teeth. He was coming.
As her son knew who was coming, he began to wriggle about. She held him tighter and sung a calming lullaby under her breath.
There was a sudden bout of shouting at the door and Selena sung louder to her son. A thud soon followed and the room door burst open.
A tall man with jet-black hair and wild blue eyes came marching in. He moved swiftly to her bedside and grabbed hold of the small boy.
Selena gasped. She thought he would hurt her son, but he did not. He held him carefully and gently in his hands.
"So this is our son. What a fine young lad!"
"Morzan, may I have him back?" asked Selena cautiously. Her husband had been a ticking time bomb ever since the other forsworn had been killed.
Morzan smiled and handed the child back to Selena, who cradled him in her arms.
"So what shall we call him?" Morzan said, pulling a strand of black hair away from his sons eyes.
"I was thing about Delbert…"
Morzan's eyes widened. He began to laugh hilariously, "Delbert? Are you mad?"
Selena bowed her head. She gently kissed her son on the forehead. "What do you suggest then?"
"Well - I - haven't thought about it." Morzan sighed and sat on the edge of the bed.
They sat silently for several minutes. Each one trying to think of a name for their little boy.
"I know, how does Murtagh sound?" Selena suggested.
"Murtagh…"
