Chaper 12: Shruikan's Secret.
Soon after the fight the presence Orion had felt was more prominent. Who are you? he asked shaken, this was a dragon's touch. It is I, Shruikan, slave-to-the-tyrant-of my-bonds. The ancient voice replied. Shruikan? why are you, of all beings contacting us? The rider asked. I have a secret to share, the dark king has not gotten my heart of hearts, my Enlundari. and his bond on me weakens with evdery passing day. Shruikans voice, as deep and intimidating as it was, Orion heared the pain in his voice, the old dragon was suffering. Eragon hasd gotten wind of this conversation. Ancient one, is this true? he asked. Yes Saphire rider it is. the weight of this news was almost unbearable. "This is incredible." Orion said. "Murtagh, so tell Nasuada i need her." Eragon said. "On it." said Murtagh.
After all the deatails had been explained to Nasuada. they were sitting in her red pavillion, "this news is remarkable. the prospect of his hold on Shruikans mind getting weaker." Nasuada Said thoughtfully. Yes, and what is the best part is that he don't posses the Elundari. As Oromis had thought. he's still grieveing, let us wait to consult Gladre. Saphira said. Ranth'Ur snorted in agreement, and Thorn just puffed a ring of smoke. "We have pressing matters to discuss. now My Riders, you have a job to do. as we press onward toward Uru'baen, the Mad tyrant we call Galbatorix, will surely get worried, he most likely won't come out of his house so to speak until we reach the Black gates to the city." Nasuada explained to them.
"Aye, it is true, he dosn't see us as a threat, yet." Murtagh said. to this Thorn growled. "Well then let us give him a reason to be, but for now, let us rest, tomorrow we plan." Eragon said. he was bruised and tired, but still strong, as the Dragons had done to him at the Blood-Oath celebration.
