Chapter 1 Beginning
Eragon woke with a start ad Roran shifted on the other side of camp. Eragon laid back down. They were about three leagues away from Dras Leona and Helgrind.
It had been five days since the battle of the Burning Plains, the day after the battle Eragon had spent the entire day straightening out different matters with the Varden and the villagers of Carvahall. Along with that he had cured Elva, which had completely exhausted him and had set him back another day. On the third day they had left at dawn on Saphira. It had taken them two days to reach Dras Leona and tomorrow they would mount an attack on Helgrind. Eragon slowly drifted back to sleep, thinking of Garrow and Brom... you will be avenged soon he thought, then let his elven trance take him.

Miles away Murtagh and Thorn flew through the city of Uru'baen the castle loomed over them like Galbatorix himself would in just a few minutes hours at most away from his wrath.
Murtaugh felt the familiar presence of his dragon enter his mind, you made the right choice letting him go he's your brother and he also our best chance of escapeing this mad man's clutches.
Maybe later but right now there isn't anything we can do about his madness. I can't even imagine what he has instore for us.
Soon enough we will be free from that evil man's will and won't have to follow anyone we don't want to.
And what of you Thorn? What will you do? will you rebuild your race, you can't keep any secrets from me my friend I have seen your thoughts about Saphira. murtaugh teased.
I will rebuild my race somehow some way, but who with I do not know who it will be with I know not. It is true though, she does have the most magnificient scales I have ever seen. Thorn said
And how many different shades of scales have you seen in your lifetime? Murtaugh teased again
Three plus a few others from the portraits you have seen. Thorn answered, still completely open.
Well friend of my heart its time to face a mad man's wrath.
With that Thorn landed in the open area of the palace and together they went off through the palace towards the kings chamber.
Thorn I don't want you to have to feel my pain please let me cut myself off from you until my pain is over. Murtaugh begged his soul mate.
Murtaugh could feel the rage of Thorn coming through their bond but his will stayed strong, he refused to let his partener feel pain for his desiscion.
Murtaugh! I will not be cut off from you, what help can we be toeach other if we can share each others pain? Thorn raged.
By then they had reached the giagantic doors of the kings throne room and there was no more time for any argument and with that they entered the throne room to share in each others pain.
