I somehow had time to do this chapter before I had to go to bed... It came fairly easy and I hope you like it. Especially you , It shows one of the other things going on in Algaesia. Enjoy!
In Galbatorix's Castle
The egg was right there, only 2 feet in front of her. It was so beautiful, a wonderful forest green with lighter green lines running down the sides of it.
Maybe I can just touch it. It can't hurt. The girl thought. She did touch it and as soon as she did without knowing it she set off a magical alarm that alerted Galbatorix that someone had touched the last egg. He kept it in his throne room, on a stool right next to his throne. He allowed only his most trusted advisors to touch it but it was against the law for anyone to touch it if he wasn't around. The young girl soon found this out. As soon as he heard the alarm Galbatorix came running to the throne room spitting out vile curses.
"You stupid girl!" He yelled seeing the girl next to his precious egg. Slapping her he threw her out of the room and went to check on his egg. She had been careful when she touched it so it wasn't out of it's place whatsoever. The vile king sighed in relief and sat down. Snapping his fingers he summoned one of his spellcasters. "Find Murtagh for me." He told him.
"As you wish, My King." Said the spellcaster bowing. Minutes later Murtagh walked into the throne room.
"My king? You wanted me?" He asked bowing as low as he could.
"Yes, I did, One of the young maids touched this egg," He said laying a hand on the green egg, "You are to teach her that she is never to touch anything except for what she is supposed to be cleaning. Am I understood?"
"You want her… tortured?" Murtagh asked hesitating.
"No, Murtagh, I want her pampered. Of course I want her tortured!" He screamed throwing his mind at Murtagh. Overwhelmed by the King's mind Murtagh's barrier broke with no effort on Galbatorix's part. The only reason behind this action was to cause Murtagh pain, and a lot of it.
2 days later
"Do you understand now young lady?" Murtagh asked looking at the girl he had just been forced to torture.
"Yes, sir." She replied lowering her eyes.
"Good." Murtagh replied before feeling the horrible pain in his mind which meant that the king had found it necessary to enter his mind.
Yes my king. He asked through the pain.
Bring the girl to me. Galbatorix replied.
Murtagh complied and soon the girl was standing before Galbatorix. The first thing both she and Murtagh noticed was that the egg was not in its spot instead there was an emerald dragon.
"Come here child, touch the dragon, you found it necessary to touch his egg so now touch him." Galbatorix said glaring at the girl.
The girl complied and reached out to the dragon. As she did the dragon stuck his snout up and touched the middle of her palm. She screamed and fell to the floor. When the pain subsided she looked at her palm, it had a mark on it, one that she had never seen before except on the rider Murtagh's palm and that of King Galbatorix.
What just happened? She thought to herself. Did I just become a Dragon Rider? Hunger… Friend… Hunger… Family… Hunger… Enemy… Hunger… Scared… Hunger… She sensed other thoughts beside her own in her mind. She looked to the little dragon and thought, Are you hungry? In response she got the feeling of hunger again.
"He's hungry." She said automatically. Galbatorix sent her and the dragon to a room telling her that it was hers now and that she was not to leave it. Soon a woman appeared at the door with a large platter of raw meat and a smaller plate with multiple foods on it.
"Thank you." The girl said.
"You're Welcome…" The woman replied rather confused as if she was not used to hearing it. The woman left and the girl gave the plate to the dragon.
Who was the friend? She asked directing her thoughts to the green dragon after he was done eating. In response she got the image of Murtagh. The family? An image of herself. The enemy? An image of Galbatorix was his response. Why were you scared? Another image of Galbatorix. Used… Was the next thought from the dragon. Oh No… We need to get out of here. Was her response understanding that the dragon knew they would be used by Galbatorix.
