Hey! Sorry it took so like a week to upload this chapter, but season 4 just came out on Grand Chase so I've been on that and I've only written little bits here and there.
Melanhead10: Sorry I didn't answer ur question last chapter, but I don't check my emails much. No Galbatorix didn't want Murtagh to know that the green egg had hatched in case he escaped or something, but it don't really matter now that Murtagh is a rider as well.

Salvation
Wake up Alison! Dante yelled. Huh?Alison replied turning opening her eyes and staring at the patterned ceiling. She jolted upright as she realised how bright her chamber was. You've slept far too long! The morning is nearly gone.I was much more tired than you and I still woke up first! Dante growled, clearly annoyed. Sorry Alison replied sheepishly. She decided to skip her small breakfast, it was much too late for it now, besides Galbatorix is probably going to be mad about her lateness not like that's anything new she thought bitterly. She dressed quickly and grabbed her sword from were it lay on the stone floor. She quickly tied it to her waist and hurried out into the dimly lit corridor, heading to the throne room. I'm not really sure Galbatorix wants to see us today, after all if he did he would've sent someone to wake you. Besides I prefer being with Shruikan than Galbatorix, even if Shruikan is a little crazy. Dante said.
Alison realised something was going on when she was walking down the corridor adjacent to the throne room, she could hear something strange. Alison paused and tried to determine what was going on. Dante, could you look through the window? I think I can hear shouting. Alison asked. But the king isn't normally shouting yet, he prefers punishing people or torturing people just after his midday meal Dante said, curious. Then why don't you look, and I'll listen Alison suggested. What if I get seen? I do not want to take that risk, he is already angry with us and if i spy on him he will be even more mad with us Dante said Aren't you the least bit curious? Young dragons normally are, I guess you are an abnormal dragon Alison taunted, intending to anger him and succeeded for Dante reared up and flew out of the dragon hold If I get spotted I'm blaming you He growled. Alison crept closer to the door, as close as she could without being in the guards line of sight.
"You will yield to me! You will do my bidding willing or not, even if it means breaking your mind!" Galbatorix yelled, slightly muffled by the supposedly soundproof door. I can see them! There's a person laying on the floor and the king is standing over that person. Wow the king looks mad, wander what that person did. Wait... I think I can see... Dante cut off as he flew closer to the window. What is it? What can you see? Alison asked, she then heard screams from within the ancient room, but what disturbed her mist was that she recognised the voice. A dragon! I can see a red dragon standing on the person on the floor looking like... well like the dragon is protecting the person, I mean trying to. Dante paused I bet you it's Murtagh and his dragon. Alison shuddered at the sounds of Murtagh's screams and walked away. She ignored the guards questioning eyes as she loped up to the dragon hold. Meet me in the dragon hold was all she said as Dante winged away from the window, attempting to be stealthy but it was impossible for he was too large.
Once Alison had climbed the final staircase and stepped into the dragon hold she walked straight toward the corner where Dante was curled up. Why has this shaken you up so much Alison? He asked anxiously, raising his emerald head off the floor. You probably don't remember this but we went through the same ordeal when you first hatched. It was terrible, it continued until he learnt our true names and had us, me, for you was only three days old at the time, swear oaths to him She replied expressionlessly as she sat down by his side, enjoying the warmth of his hard scales. Really? Wouldn't i remember that kind of thing though? I should have. He growled. Lets go flying for a while. Please? Alison asked It'd take your mind off things, and it's been a while since we last flew together for enjoyment. Dante shot up onto his legs immediately I thought you would never ask! Can we kill some travellers as well? He begged, exited. Alison laughed and picked up his saddle from where she left it and began to do up the many straps that holds it in place.
Soon after they were soaring through the clear skies, the city a blur below roared and snapped his wings shut. They plummeted through the air, gaining speed as they fell until Dante's wings snapped open again and he climbed higher, rising through the clouds. I love flying with you, I just wish we could go wherever we wanted and not have to be back by any time, just when we want to. Alison sighed, rubbing some of his scales. But maybe we could, we are already far from the city, we could just fly away and be done with this Alison continued. But I want to fight! It's fun! Dante protested, circling the city from high in the clouds. We could fight if you really wanted to, but with the Varden, at least that way we would not be slaves to an unjust king She reasoned. Very well, but it may not work. and with that they flew away. We should head south, according to Galbatorix the Varden dwell within the Beor Mountains, and it would offer good hiding places from pursuers As they got furthar from the city Dante gained more confidence and flew faster, sinking lower to the ground. Alison looked behind them and saw no one pursing them, and she watched the black city fade into the distance, where it disappered over the horizan. I think we made it! I think we have escaped that murky death trap! "I hope so!" Alison exclaimed.
I weren't sure if i should've ended the chapter there or carried on a little. :( last episode of Supernatural upset me so im a little depressed at the moment, and my cat has a virus. But on the bright side the spider nest in my room has finally been destroyed! :D Please review! If I later decide I don't like the way I ended it, I'll change it so b warned.
