Disclaimer: I do not own Eragon.
"I have a plan to capture Eragon. You are brothers and are bonded by blood. Eragon doesn't consider you one and recognizes his cousin as his brother. They have a strong bond. We will use Katrina to lure Eragon and Roran to us. Once there we will kill Roran. That will strengthen your bond with him. I can then use a spell to locate him no matter where he goes. The rest will be up to you. Do not fail me again," said Galbatorix. Murtagh bowed and left. He wasn't sure how to feel about Eragon. He was upset that Eragon didn't recognize him as a brother. He was angry that Eragon's scar was while his remained. He envied Eragon's childhood. He knew though what he had to do. He would capture Eragon at any cost.
A week later, Eragon and Roran had found Katrina's cell. It had been too easy. Katrina lay tired and drugged on the bed. "We should hurry up. This was way too easy. I feel that danger is coming." "Right you are, brother," announced Murtagh. "Zurda," he said. Eragon and Roran felt invisible bonds surround them. Eragon tried to undo the spell but didn't have any success. With Eragon captured, Saphira capitulated. She did, however, had no qualms about threatening Murtagh. She promised him, Galbatorix will look nice, compared to what will happen to you if Eragon dies. Katrina was brought with them. They traveled back to Urubaen with the Razac following them. The Razac guarded the prisoners and made sure that they didn't escape. When they were just a few miles from the city, the Razac made a mistake. They brought Saphira to the stream as usual, but Murtagh was already there with Eragon, Roran, and Katrina. Eragon gave a barely perceptible nod and Saphira instantly swung her tail at Murtagh. Murtagh hit the ground with an audible, dull thud. Eragon, Roran, and Katrina fought the Razac while Saphira took on Thorn. As they fought they inched closer to Saphira. Eragon gave another barely perceptible nod and in one moment he, Roran, and Katrina were on Saphira's back. At that exact moment, Murtagh woke up. He quickly jumped on Thorn's back and pursued them. The Razac followed them. It was a short battle. Eragon, Saphira, Roran, and Katrina fought fiercely but were overpowered by Murtagh and the Razac.
They arrived at Urubaen. Eragon, Roran, and Katrina were drugged. Eragon and Katrina were locked up. Roran was left in the throne room for the spell. Saphira was in another part of the castle chained up. Roran finally woke up. The first thing he saw was Galbatorix staring at him gleefully. Starting his eyes looked around and spotted Murtagh at Galbatorix's right side. He tried to move but instantly felt a dagger at his throat. He looked up. A Razac was restraining him and had the dagger at his throat. A second one stood to the side watching him. "What do you want with me? Eragon is the one you want, not me!!" exclaimed Roran. Galbatorix explained his plan watching Roran's face drain of color. Roran tried to move again, but Murtagh had binded his body.
