AN. Here's the new chapter. I don't think this is as good as my other ones. It's in first person, which I don't really like writing in. In this chapter we get a look into Murtagh's thoughts. I hope you like it.

I walked out of the tavern, leaving the wooden doors swinging as I made my way out of the town of Glen'en'dolethyl. My dark hair shifting slightly as the wind blew against my handsome face. I knew everybody was staring at me. It was hard not to. I, myself, have been known to stare in the mirror for long periods of time.

I continued to leave the rotting town, ignoring the sighs from the peasant girls as I passed them. I often come to run down towns like this after a mission from gabble. They were a way to avoid going back to the misery that is my life. Glen'en'dolethyl was not a usual of mine, It was a town for travellers, meaning there was a high chance that I could be recognised and if i was recognised then the Varden could find me.

I had just left the edge of town when I started thinking about her again. The girl I met at the inn. She wasn't the most beautiful girl I had ever seen but there was a spark in her eyes and overall she would complement me quite well, like the red streaks I get built into my armour. And not only that, she seemed to really understand me, understand that I am not all that I seem, that I am probably THE most complex and deep person in the world.

I hopped onto Thorns back, he had been waiting near some trees while I went to town. I gave his back a stroke and apologised mentally for leaving him for so long. Thorn waited while I slid into the saddle and strapped myself in. After one last check that my hair and clothes were arranged properly, we lifted off into the air.

The air pressed against my body, pressure increasing as we sped up. My hair waved around, silky locks whipping across my face. My dark brooding eyes stared out from behind them. I always looked good on my dragon.

We travelled for around 2 hours before Thorn began to slow down as we approached Gabbles Castle. I leaned forward and examined the cold fortress looming before me. The shadows clung to the buildings like a baby to its mother and it attracted evil like I attract women and the occasional men. Thorn landed in the courtyard and I leaped off his back gracefully. I tossed my head back, hair catching the sunlight causing it to shine like obsidian.

I left the courtyard, and Thorn, to the various attendants and made my sultry way up multiple staircases to my room. Once there, I shrugged off my heavy leather armour and headed straight for the floor length mirror pressed against the wall. I peered at my face in the mirror, gently pressing my fingers against the bruise forming on my jaw. One of the peasants in the town I had been invading had attacked me with a mirror. I had known all along that he was there, I just like to give the worthless villagers a feeling of hope, so I can crush it.

I continued to admire my fabulous physique for another 5 minutes before deciding I had to do something else. Turning around, I twisted my head so I could get a good look at the scar that ran across my back. The scar was a symbol of my toughness, of the hardships that I have survived. How, no matter what happens to me, I will always come back for more.

A few moments later, I took one last glance at my back then pulled on a soft, silk shirt. Swaggering out the door, I made my way out of my room and down to the training arena. Once there, I grabbed a bow and arrow set to work on my aim.

I was just about to fire the first arrow when I saw her face. The girl from the tavern. For some reason I couldn't get the image of her smile out of my face. It was strange, there was nothing about her that stood out and there was no point in me thinking of her. I was never going to see her again. I ran my hand through my hair and groaned, I didn't know what was wrong with me. I slumped to the floor and threw the arrow against the ground, ignoring the way it snapped in half. Why couldn't I get her out of my head?

AN. Please R&R. I know this chapter wasn't as good as my others, next time I will do better.
