I hope you enjoy the story. ( sorry its shorter than the last one )
Preparing for departure.
"I'm at your command, Morzan" Selena made a quick bow holding baby Murtagh in her hands. He woke up and was stirring and whining.
"What took you so long? Who were you talking to, the little critter in your hands?" Morzan eyed the little bundle in her hands.
"His name is Murtagh!" Selena said as fiercely as she dared, fearing the consequences.
"Oh, the little insect got a name eh?" Morzan said in a bored voice .He was obviously drunk.
" Is this why you called me here?" Selena tried to remain calm but she was losing it.
The room was unnaturally chilly and all the windows were closed. The room was lavishly decorated, but all Selena noticed was her upcoming fear, little Murtagh crying and her drunken husband who was sitting carelessly on the couch.
" This might be little hard for you dear Selena but you have to do what your supposed to do"
Selena could feel her heart beat. Please not that, please no.
" You need to go on another mission as a Black hand. Go to Dras Leona and get the special Siethr oil for the Razac. I don't know how you'll do it but I will need it in another two weeks" Her heart eased. It's just a mission, but what about Murtagh?
" What if I don't do it"?
" And why will you not do it?"His anger rising .
"Maybe because I may have to look over our new born child!"
" You mean the little critter right?"
" Stop calling Murtagh a critter and just know that I will not continue your missions anymore, not until Murtagh is old enough to look after himself!!"
" ENOUGH! if you don't go on this mission I will not hesitate to feed your precious son to the Razac"
Selena felt tears in the back of her eyes, but her anger was steadier. Her fear came true.
" Who will look after him?"
" That is none of your concern, I will give him to a nurse. You will go on this journey tomorrow and you will be handing your precious Purrtag at dawn!"
Selena scowled hard at Morzan and left the room at once holding Murtagh tightly in her hand. There is nothing else to argue about . Wthat is done is done. She went to the castle's garden, the only place in the entire Urubaen she thought as peaceful.
She reached the castles grounds. The stars were dimming and dawn was approaching. She went to a nearby bench. Murtagh was gazing at everything with wonder, little he knew about the dangers he and his mother were facing. Little he knew that he his going to leave her.
"How will I ever leave you? I couldn't even spend a whole day with you " A few tears rolled down her eyes. Murtagh just beamed at his mother, just wondering, only wondering about the rolling water coming out of his mother's eyes. " A beast of a father you have. How could he even think of feeding you to crooked birds?" She brought him closer to her face and hugged him. " I'm going to leave you tomorrow to some nurse who least cares even if you die, while I will be happy to give my life for your safety"Weak strokes of sunlight escaped the horizon.
"Why doesn't Morzan understand? Just know this Murtagh, you will never become your father, you will never, you will not become a beast like your father. When you come of age, it would be the best if you leave Urubaen, leave your father, leave Galbatorix and fight them, fight them for your mother and fight them for Alagaesia. Your mother would be very proud of you, very proud indeed if you do something like that. But whatever you do you will always have my blessing. You will always do…." Murtagh steadily gazed his mother from her arms, drinking every word she said.
Selena moved closer and kissed him on his forehead. " I love you " Did he know that his mother was the only one who cared for him truly? Did he know that the moments he was spending in his mother's arms were one of the safest in his entire life? Did he know that he is going to leave her? Did he know his fate after this?
Selena walked into a nearby gardener's cottage. She went in with her son, it was a gloomy place, tools scattered everywhere, mud on the utensils, molding furniture but this place was a bit warm or rather warmer than Morzan's quarters. In a corner was a man with a crooked nose and graying hair.
"Brom, are you there? I need you to do a favor"
