thinking about being a computer game designer…. Does anyone know anything about
good choices? Anyway your probs all bored reading this so on with the story!
Chapter 4
Murtagh continued staring. He asked Thorn "is she seriously prepared to give up her
freedom for food?"
"It looks like it…"
"We can't let her do that! Galbatorix will be unstoppable with two riders under his control!"
"I have an idea…"
Thorn then turned and addressed Chu'si and Sephy "We feel that allowing you to
serve Galbatorix would destroy Alagaesia. Therefore we have devised a strategy
that will aid both of us. We will return to Galbatorix saying that the phenomena was
nothing more than a rumour. You will hide away from Uru'baen and Murtagh and
I will visit on our flights and tutor you. We will bring food but we need to think of a
location where we can fly without being observed."
Sephy considered this "What's in it for you" Murtagh blinked a bit "What do you
mean?"
"Idiot! I find it unlikely that someone would help me like that unless there was
something beneficial in it for them"
"… we have the satisfaction of defying Galbatorix." Chu'si broke in "I feel that you
are telling the truth but how do you intend to keep us hidden from Galbatorix? You
may have some mind control, but Galbatorix is stronger…" She eyed them
disdainfully "…much stronger" Thorn growled "Do not insult my rider dragon"
"Then insure that he does not insult my rider." Sephy thought that this would be an
appropriate moment to intervene "Well? How do you intend to keep us hidden?"
Murtagh and Thorn fell into a hasty conference.
Then there was a long pause and another finally Thorn slinked slowly around with the
facial expression of someone who had just been force fed dung "We feel that with
the… aid of some of Chu'si's energy we can keep the fact of your existence from
Galbatorix" There was a long pause from the opposite side then… they both burst out
laughing. Sephy finally managed to gasp out at the perturbed boys who, may I add
have never seen the rather violent mood swings that girls can have especially when
they're sixteen with a deep hatred of certain members of the human race, "you've
only known us for a grand total of half an hour and you already need our help! So
much for the power of the trained rider!" Understandably Murtagh was rather
annoyed by this and the next thing Sephy knew was that she was hanging upside
down by her ankles with big red sword pointing at her. Now how shall I put this next
image in your mind… ah yes… Chu'si went mental… she was also suspended in mid
air.
After a series of arguments and apologies the party was seated around a fire that had
been set up in the dragon nursery. They had reached a diplomatic compromise:
No psychotic behaviour
No magic
No swearing
No stealing
No trying to kill Murtagh in his sleep
No trying to kill Sephy in her sleep
No laughing at any member of the party
These rules allowed a semblance of a structured debate to formed but at times Sephy's
'unusualness' shone through. Like the time she had to trapped underneath Chu'si to
stop her trying to kill Murtagh when he insinuated that she would find it difficult to
find way out of saying oaths in the Ancient language and still live in the palace. When
questioned about breaking the rules she pointed out there wasn't a rule that stopped
anyone trying to kill anyone else when they aren't asleep. After this Murtagh's thoughts went something like
"Damn, she's smarter than she looks!" At the end of the meeting two conclusions
were reached:
Sephy and Chu'si would go ahead with the plan
Murtagh and Sephy… did not like each other.
So guy how did you like it? I'm going skiing over the hols so there probably won't be
another chapter. This week
