I'm so sorry guys! I haven't been on in a long while! Life has been really busy. I'll try to be on more often, but it's not a guarantee…sorry. D:

I'm currently wavering between Eragon's POV and Murtagh's. I guess I'll have to make the decision myself. ;)

Chapter 6

Murtagh's POV

"Karyna?" Murtagh called in a whisper. Thisisdefinitelynotgood, he thought to himself. Galbatorixwillhavemyhead!

"I've been waiting for you. What in the name of Galbatorix's pants took you so long?" Karyna's soft voice whispered from Murtagh's shoulder. The latter whirled around, a little startled. His red cloak billowed behind him. Standing there, about 10 feet away, was the black-haired girl Thorn and Murtagh had captured yesterday.

"Wow, you sure can curse," the Dragon Rider said nervously, "But how the heck did you get out?"

"Simple. I picked the lock with a wire. I always carry one with me." She replied, tilting her head playfully. "Now can I escape, or what? Don't you want to come with me?" Murtagh considered it for a moment, then shook his head.

"I really want to, but I shouldn't. I wish I could." He grimaced.

"But doesn't Galbatorix bind you with your true name? The spell he cast doesn't work anymore. Actually, Thorn isn't affected either." Karyna said. Murtagh gaped at her.

"What did you just say?"

"Oh, I haven't told you. I have a special ability, which means I can detect when other people's true names have changed. And yours have changed. I have no idea what it is, but you can leave now. We can go to the Varden!"

Murtagh shook his head. A few moments later, he felt it. A new freshness was around him; something that wasn't there before. Thorn! He called.

What? Murtagh's partner asked.

Wecanleave.I'llexplainlater.Karyna'scoming.Getthesaddle.We'regoingtoEragon. Murtagh say. With these words, he grabbed the girl's hand and dragged her upstairs.

Please review!

And I promise, next chapter will be in Eragon's point of view, for the people that have forgotten him and for the ones that have always preferred him. ^.^
