Eyes Like Fire, Hair Like Rain

It's been forty years since Nasuada's death, and Murtagh's happy. He's the head of the school for all the new Riders. But thanks to the newest Rider, Murtagh's life is about to change in a way he'd long stopped thinking it would. Murtagh/OC romance. Best read after "This Day Will Soon Be At An End."

21. Resting Place

And suddenly they were faced with a dilemma – what to do with a dead Eldunari? There was talk of returning it – her – to Vroengard, but to Murtagh it just seemed wrong, making the final resting place of someone so bright and alive a ruined, poisoned city…

In the end, it was the dragons who decided the matter. Every ending is a new beginning, they said. All flows in a circle. Bring her to her beginning, to the Stone of Broken Eggs.

And so Murtagh and Thorn returned to Ellesmera.
