Masterarcher - You wonder what happens next? No more waiting then hehe

given-inside - Another hot one? lol!

blue eyed chica - Thank you. Thank you very much elvis voice

alastriona - Did I write the name right? hehe. Anyway... Lol thanks for long comment! ) Hot damn slaps myself Yeah I know I gotta improve that type of sentences. And damn commas! What they're good for anyway! hehe. No, not a serious question. hehe. But yeah I gotta agree with you about stories with just dialoges. They can be good, but I always preferred stories that has more thoughts and descriptions in it )

Ingu - I didn't? Oh my bad snigger Thanks anyway:D

electric monk - Hey ya! Yeah I feel really bad now. I actually liked Auntyrclaug myself :( Something's wrong then haha. Anyway, I am writing another one shot story now where I have Auntyr in it too, but that story is probably not of your liking hehe. If I'm not mistaken about something...

alsdssg - Dude that's many comments! I love comments! haha thank you! Wow someone actually like the Arya/Murtagh too? Yey! I didn't noticed before the other day, but you write that black and white story... or did I just killed the title? hehe. Anyway I love your Arya/Murty parts there. Am writing one myself now, but man I'm not satisfied with it. I wont be. It sounded better in my head and it's all gooey. haha. Thanks for the comments )

I just realized something... I have never even mentioned Orik the dwarf have I? Hmm... lol. I even like that dwarf a little. I have a reason though. Honestly I'm still reading Eldest (nearing the end now... I think... it doesn't seem to have one actually) and I just forgotten about him. But now Bolrak is the main dwarf. No point in dragging in Orik now. Other characters in the book will be pulled a bit into this story now though. But not much. I just need some elves in this chapter for something that happens in a later chapter (Hush Master! lol)

Ahhhhh! Chapter 10! lol


10.

"Thorn?" Eragon looked up as a small whisper escaped from Murtaghs' lips. He sat beside his brother back at the camp. Eragon laid a warm hand on Murtagh's forehead. He sat like that while looking around him. They laid under open sky and the sun had set twice since they got back.

How is he? Saphiras' soft voice spoke up as she laid down beside Murtagh and Eragon.

"He's still unconscious, but he whispered Thorns name just some seconds ago" Eragon looked at his dragon. The red dragon never left his rider's side. Eragon and the dragons watched how survivors from the war slowly returned to the camp. There were also horses dragging carriages with bodies of soldiers that had lost their lives. One day Bolrak returned on a chubby little pony and to Eragons surprise, the elves Vanir and his master Oromis made their appearence too. Both on horses. Eragon could see most things going on from their camp, which was a little separated from the rest. Arya had still not returned to her place near by.

"The loss is, as you said great" Bolrak mumbled as he came to them.

"Any news on Arya?" Eragon stroke the chubby pony on the mule.

"The elves will take care of the green dragon and give him an honorable funeral" Bolrak told before he left for his own camp.

Eragon then looked at Oromis and Vanir.

"You're going to explain that?" the rider of the golden dragon asked while nodding towards Murtagh. Eragon nodded quietly and explained in every detail of what had happened since they had kidnapped Murtagh. Soon their conversation went over to other things.

"I didn't know any of you were here. And where is Glaedr?" Eragon looked over at Saphira who also seemed curious.

"He is in Ellesmera. That old dragon. I don't think any of us will live much longer now" Oromis smiled sadly. Eragon knew that their sickness had been bothering them for too long now.
"Well we better be going. I hope to see you at the celebration of winning the war" Vanir told before the elves vanished again.

So sorry your world is tumbling down
I'll watch you through these nights
Rest your head and go to sleep
Because my child, this is not our farewell.
This is not our farewell.

Another day and some hours passed before Murtagh finally opened his eyes. This time the sky was light blue and the sun was shining. Sobs escaped his lips and tears rolled down his face.

Eragon! Murtagh is awake! Saphira was lying beside Murtagh with Thorn, but the young rider hadn't noticed any of them. The dark haired rider pressed his eyes shut and gasped for air as pain overwhelmed him.

Calm down, Murtagh. Please, Thorn lowered his head down to his rider, but he wasn't paid any heed. Then they heard the sound of running feet coming closer. All of a sudden Eragon dropped down beside Murtagh, taking hold of each side of his face. The blond rider calmed Murtaghs' breathing down and soon enough he opened his eyes.

"There you go" Eragon smiled and sat back.

Everything was much better by the time the evening had come. Murtagh laid on his back watching the sky quietly. His strengths slowly came back to him, but it scared Eragon that he healed so slowly. He hardly said anything before now.

"Roran..." Murtagh suddenly said and looked at Eragon,

"Have you...?". Eragon looked down at his hands. He knew what Murtagh asked him.

"No, not yet. I want to bury him beside Brom" Eragon smiled tiredly,

"I just wanted to wait till you got better." Murtagh hoisted himself up to a sitting position and looked at Eragon.

"Where is Arya?" he looked around, but could not see anything to the elf.

"Shruikan killed Auntyr. I haven't seen her since that day on the field" Eragons words made Murtagh close his eyes and fall back, but Thorn took hold of him.

"I can only imagine what she feels now" he took hold of Thorns' huge clawed front foot and held it tight. Eragon just nodded in agreement.
