Lets go to the next chapter!

Murtagh walked over to Eragon and poured a hot gross looking liquid into the younger man's mouth. Eragon sputtered and choked. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!"

"Well, yes, I'd say you were feeling better." Murtagh laughed. Murtagh had already healed the wound on the back of Eragon's head, but the younger man still didn't seem fit to head to Ellesmera. "Are you feeling alright Eragon. You don't have to come to Ellesmera with me if you're not fit. It's not your mission. You are allowed to stay behind."

Eragon's eyes widened considerably at Murtagh's last statement, "hell no am I staying here." then he whispered, "The king is insane."

"Well, fine then brother, get up, we leave in half an hour."

Eragon quickly got out of bed and immediately got dizzy and sat back down. "Careful Eragon, you've been out for a while." Eragon got SLOWLY this time to his feet and walked around the room a few times.

"There, so what should I pack?"

"Anything light. We're hiding in trees, not a whole lot of room up there."

"Murtagh, I don't mean to point this out rudely or anything, but you seem rather non-nonchalant about stalking and kidnapping our friends for interrogation by the king."

"Eragon, you can't be so naive as to think that any of them can continue to be our friends. We are no longer even on the same side. Let them go. When this war is over, and if we are not dead, we can meet up with them then. Until that point in time, we are completely on our own. No friends, no guilt. All we can do is protect the ones we love most as much as possible. And if our oaths wont allow it, then thats how it has to be."

Eragon stared at Murtagh stunned for a few seconds before giving in. The younger man knew his brother was right.

Eragon rode on Saphira for the first time it what seemed like forever, Thorn and Murtagh beside him.

Saphira isn't this great! I love flying again. Since Saphira had taken off Eragon had felt full of life. Murtagh laughed at him from his right side, the younger man looked ridiculous with such a giant smile on his face.

I know Eragon, but if you keep putting your hands out like that, you'll go flying off. I may not come catch you. Eragon could hear Saphira laugh in his mind.

The two could see Ellesmera approaching, or as close to Ellesmera they could get with the protective magic walls. "I still feel bad about doing this Murtagh."

"You'll get used to it. We're landing in that clearing, be prepared."

OKIES! There you go. Short, but it got it's purpose across. The purpose being going to Ellesmera.
