chapter two

i will help you

Just before Murtagh could reach Thorn, the King came walking out into the courtyard,

"Where were you last night, child? there was a small attack and battle and when we needed you you were gone! we only had Thorn to help and now he is injured, it's all your fault, you may be important but if this happens again it will be your head! Understood?" the King had turned red in his face and he was very angry.

"Understood, sir it will never happen again, may i please go and tend to my dragons injuries now?"
"as you wish" with that the King walked out of the courtyard and back into the main castle.

Murtagh made his way into the healing chamber and sat next to Thorn,
i am incredibly sorry, Thorn i don't know what happened but i will explain everything to you later when you are fully healed and rested. Murtagh looked down at the ground in shame, he had put his own dragon at risk.

it is ok little one i will be better soon and yes you need to tell me what happened, i was lying next to you while you slept and you woke me up, you were being pulled out of bed by and imaginary force i tried to grab you but it was too late, then the battle began and i had to fight alone, i couldn't concentrate properly because i was thinking about you, hoping that you wern't in trouble.

Murtaghs eyes began to fill with tears as he healed Thorns wounds,
If I lost you Thorn i would not know what i would do, my life would be empty again.
do not fill yourslef with these thoughts, little one, i am still here and i will not be going anywhere anytime soon, so fill your mind with ease, i am ready for you to talk about what happened.

Murtagh scratched the back of his head,
are you sure? or do you need some more rest?
i am ready please do not leave out anything, for this seems like an interesting matter.

After Murtagh had explained what happened, Thorn spent a few minutes thinking,
It seems a very strange matter, maybe you were dreaming but then again you said everything was real and you touched a horses mind so it must be real, i have no other explanation for this so just try to forget about it and rest, but if this ever happens again i am coming with you! no matter if i have to cling onto you at all times, because i do not want you to be alone if this happens again!

ok, thank you Thorn, i seriously do not know what i would do without you. Murtagh said with a smile as they wandered back into his room, he had a feeling that with Thorn with him he could achieve anything.
