10: Changing of Name
Thorn, you can talk now. Murtagh said as they flew over Marna. Thank you young one the silence was killing me. Thorn replied. Well the king can't control us anymore, we have changed drastically, with that change our true names have also changed, and we are free at long last. Murtagh said happiness flowed through him. Something he hadn't felt in a long while. Master? Is it true? I feel different, like I hatched all over again. Thorn said just as happy. I know, it's how I feel as well, and that is how I know, it's like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Murtagh said leaning low over the saddle. I feel, happy, free and so many other things, as you know. The dragon commented. They went ion like this for hours until the sun came up.
They landed to rest in the wee hours of morning. Sleep well young one, we have a wait ahead of us, unless you can convince Eragon to come to us. Thorn said with Murtagh lying against his side. He covered him with one with and within moments they were both asleep. Murtagh woke up around noon; Thorn was still sleeping more peacefully than he'd ever seen. He smiled. And killed three rabbits he gathered up some wood. And lit a fire. Brisingr. He said and the fire sparked to life. After he finished eating, Thorn was up. Good morning, big guy. Murtagh said. As to you. He replied. And Thorn sounded happy too.
Which was a rarity, Murtagh sought out Eragon with his mind in Elesmera. Eragon, we're free from Galbatorix!, com to us please, we're at the edge of the forest directly north of Marna. Murtagh told him. Alright, I will be there as fast as I can, this better not be a trap or I will kill you both. Eragon said. And receded he knew it was true, as it is impossible to lie in the Ancient Language. You here that Thorn? He's coming for us! Murtagh exclaimed unable to hide his happiness. I know, I heard it young one. Said Thorn, the thought of Saphira troubled him. She was such a beautiful dragon in his mind.
Eragon appeared through the trees just before sundown."Murtagh? You gave us an excuse to leave early. I'd like you to meet, Orion, the new rider." And Orion and Ranth'Ur stepped through the trees, Murtagh did a double take. This boy looked like his cousin to the mark! No, it couldn't be! It just couldn't be possible! "Orion, you look like someone I'm related to. Sorry for the double take." He stammered. "It's ok; you look like someone I know too." Orion. "It's odd though, he died a while ago. "May I speak to your dragon, Orion?" Murtagh asked. I grant you permission. Ranth'Ur said. Thank you, it is nice to meet another dragon, besides Thorn, and Saphira. I bade my allegiance to you and your rider as well as Eragon, and Saphira. And with he receded from the Emerald dragon's mind. "We are going to Surda, the Varden need us. You will be welcome, fight for your life, and they will forgive you. After all it wasn't your fault about the Twins." Eragon said.
