Eragon sat in the same tree for the 3rd day in a row. Murtagh was in the tree down the path about a quarter mile. "Goddammit Saphira, this is so dull! How long can one man sit in a tree before he dies of boredom!?"
"Um, a man with your attention span... You should have died two days ago." Eragon could hear Saphira chuckling to herself.
"Eragon, lets head down. Theres nothing to report. I don't know about you, but I'm so bored I'm about to kill myself." Murtagh yelled from below Eragon.
"Thank god." The younger man jumped down from the tree and hugged his older brother, and gave him a peck on the cheek. Eragon had never done that before, and awaited Murtagh's reaction anxiously. The older man reached over toward Eragon and put a callused rough hand on his cheek and leaned into Eragon's body. The next thing Eragon knew, he was in Murtagh's arms completely and engulfed in a loving kiss.
Both riders pulled away quickly when they both heard the elf, Arya. Her heavy breathing gave her away as she quickened her pace running right towards where Eragon and Murtagh stood. Both men jumped into the trees and waited for her to hopefully run right past. After moments, the beautiful Arya came into view and she stopped and immediately looked up. "Eragon get your sorry ass down here now!"
Eragon just stared at her. She was looking right at him. She knew he was there, but for some reason, Eragon could not make himself move. "saphira what do I do. The king made me swear, no revealing myself to anyone."
"technically Eragon, she already knows you are here."
"Well thats helpful thanks." Ended Eragon in a sarcastic tone.
"Anytime."
Suddenly it came to Eragon. He whispered one silent spell, and Arya fell down to the forest floor. Sound asleep. "Come on Murtagh, we have to leave." Eragon's older brother stared at him in disbelief.
"Eragon, we can't just leave her there, She's one of our friends!"
"We work for the king now. You said it yourself. We don't have our friends, we let them go. We should go back to the king and simply say we had nothing to report while that is still true." Murtagh nodded sullenly, and both the men followed out of the woods silently to where their dragons still waited.
After getting past Arya and back on their dragons flying towards the awaiting king, Murtagh looked over at his younger brother with a sexy smirk on his face. "Tonight Eragon, shall we continue what we started before that rude elf interrupted?"
Eragon smile back shyly. Murtagh laughed.
