Disclaimer: Yes, I own Eragon and Eldest and everything that has to do with the Inheritance trilogy. That is exactly why I'm writing fanfiction. Just kidding! I don't own anything. Everythin belongs to Christopher Paolini. Except for my character, Samantha/Sam
Murtagh was called to Galbatorix's throne room. 'I wonder what he wants this time, he's probably still upset about the battle on the burning plains,' he thought.
"Murtagh," Galbatorix said, "I am sending you on a new mission, I want you to take the last dragon egg and travel throughout Algaesia and find its rider."
"It will be done," Murtagh said solemnly.
"If you fail at this mission or if something happens to that egg, the punishment will be most severe," Galbatorix said warningly.
"I understand," Murtagh replied. He, then, left and went to go get prepared for the mission.
'Thorn,' Murtagh called to his blood-red dragon. 'Yes?' Thorn replied. Murtagh told him everything that the king said about a new mission.
'I am glad that a new dragon rider will eventually be found,' Thorn told Murtagh. 'I am too, but I would be much happier if we didn't have to serve that madman of a king,' Murtagh replied. 'I would too, but I guess we don't always get everything we want in life, Thorn said. 'That's true.'
---------------------------------------
Samantha was taking a walk in part of the spine. She liked the spine because almost no one ever came there. Also, she thought that most of the animals in it were interesting.
Another reason was that it was the easiest way for Sam to avoid the empire.
It wasn't like she was in any trouble with them or anything. She just decided that it was better to isolate herself from it as much as possible. Sam figured that it was better to not get tangled up in ANYTHING that had to do with the empire.
Sam, also, felt the same exact way about the Varden.
She had lived in the Spine and took care of herself ever since her mother died. It wasn't easy considering Sam was only eight when she died. But after ten years it got much, much easier.
Sam remembered that her mom always seemed a bit sad. The only reason Sam could really figure out why was that it had something to do with her father. She had never known her father and had never thought to ask her mother about him.
Sometimes she wished she had.
But lately, Sam was having strange feelings that something big was going to happen soon.
'Or you could just be paranoid,' She thought pushing her blonde hair out of her deep blue-green eyes.
But no matter what she did, she still couldn't shake of that feeling.
A/N: I'm sorry if that was a little to short. I was kinda in a hurry when I typed this.
