Chapter 6
"But, how? you asked.
"Well, Brom found Selena and had an affair with her behind Morzan's back." said Eragon, still obviously furious.
"My mother would never do that behind my father!" shouted Murtagh.
"She's both our mother and now both of our parents are dead, so shut the fuck up Murtagh! screamed Eragon.
You saw this was getting out of hand, so summoning your magic, you stepped between them with two balls of energy floating over your hands.
"Now, I realize both of you are upset about your parents, but mine were killed by that son of a bitch you call a father Murtagh. Eragon, get your emotions under control please. My sister, Jayna, taught me how to undo oaths before my old master killed her. I know how it feels."
"How do you know how Brom died?" yelled Eragon.
"Well, one you think to loud, and two Galbatorix told me."
Eragon took a step toward you, but you lifted the ball of energy, reminding him.
"Not until we're done...Which is now." you said as you saw the guy's dragons coming with half eaten meals in their talons. You let the energy go and followed the guys as they walked to their dragons.
Why were fighting?
No, we weren't fighting, just talking.
I'm hungry
Alright I'll ask Eragon and Murtagh if Saphira or Thorn will share.
"Guys, can Saphira or Thorn share?"
The guys looked at their dragons as they communicated with them. They looked back at you, Eragon nodded, but Murtagh shrugged his shoulders. Eragon motioned for you and Haldoryn to come closer.
Thorn and Murtagh
You like her don't you?
What, no way!
Your lying, I can tell.
Well, I don't know, It's weird.
Go talk to her tonight, I'll leave you alone
Fine.
Eragon and Saphira
Well, that's her?
Yeah.
Eragon, stop it! You like Arya, remember!
...What...Oh yeah! Sorry, I just can't help it
What's her name?
Gabrielle
Dragon?
Haldoryn
What! He chose that name!
Yes, I know. Surprised me actually, I thought he would pick another name. Life is so confusing.
And about to get a lot harder little one.
As you approached the two dragons, Haldoryn hopped off your shoulder and walked up to the two, much larger dragons and purred like a cat only much louder. Saphira went first, lowering her head down to Haldoryn's level and purred back. You walked over to Eragon and Murtagh and stood next to them.
"Wow, dragon language, I thought I'd never here it." you said.
"I know, It's amazing." said Eragon. Murtagh just grunted.
"Well, aren't you the happy one." you exclaimed.
"It's nothing, it's just that Thorn doesn't like Haldoryn for some reason, something to do about being born in captivity."
"Well that's a wonderful excuse."
It was now Thorn's turn, but he hesitated and looked at Murtagh. Murtagh gave him a stern look and he gradually lowered his head.
Murtagh and Thorn
I don't see why we have to do this
Well, if we want to survive what life throws at us, we're going to have to get along with each other. So hurry up greeting him, it's getting dark.
Thorn and Haldoryn finished 'greeting' and Saphira was busy cutting up smaller pieces for Haldoryn, so you started to gather wood for a fire. ( Saphira and Thorn had found an area deep in the woods for a camp) You set them down and muttered Brisingr(sp?) and set the wood on fire.
"You know your going to use up all of your energy if you keep doing that." said Murtagh.
"Since when did you care?"
"Since I took care of you when you almost killed yourself saving me."
"Well, that was very advanced stuff and I hadn't mastered it. You were lucky that it..."
"What! You hadn't mastered it and you still used it! You could have killed both of us!"
"Well, at least it worked! If it didn't we would have ended up dieing anyway!"
"Why?"
"Because, after I went unconscious, the place I was just standing on collapsed revealing Shruikan just after he died with Galbatorix."
"Oh. Sorry for yelling. There have been many surprises today and it's driving my mind crazy."
You had just realized that Eragon, Saphira, Thorn, and Haldoryn had left you alone with Murtagh. Desperate to keep the conversation going you said," Oh, like what?"
"Here it goes." Thought Murtagh.
"Well, it just so happens that while I was coming back with my battle with Eragon, I saw this...(gulp)...beautiful girl sitting on a bench in a courtyard.
"Wait I was in a courtyard!" you thought.
"And I said to myself, if I think she is beautiful from up here, I can't wait to see what see looks like up close."
Wait I thing I like him. He thinks I'm beautiful?
"And when I got into the courtyard I...he stepped closersaw..closer.you."
You were an inch apart. You really loved him and it took you a long time to notice it too. He went in to kiss you, but that was when you heard Eragon scream.
