It had been two weeks since Murtagh and Eragon's late night talk and no one had seen him since. He also took Thorn, and they'd left no trace they'd been there; and Eragon was disheartened. The dreams kept recurring and in the same order. They were always the same. He was still sore from moving and he hadn't tried it since that faithful day, but today was different. He was going to move. Whether or not he'd live through it. He chuckled at this thought and slowly moved his hand. The pain sliced at him and he cringed. He continued forward and soon had his arm moving up and down. The pain had become a dull throb and soon he was moving his other arm and his two legs. He was glad that he had asked for some alone time. He was planning on surprising them. Slowly he swung his body over the side of the bed and put his feet to the floor. The sudden feeling of solidness overwhelmed him. He'd almost forgotten the feeling! He slowly stood up and fell to his knees. The pain was easy to bear. He'd had worse. He just didn't have the strength to stand, but he fought it and soon he was leaning, heavily, on the pole holding his tent up. He'd stared at that same ceiling for months and months and now he was finally looking at something else. He moved his hand over the rugged pole and sighed. He stood up straighter and slowly walked out the door. He wasn't expecting what he saw after that.
Murtagh looked around at the unfamiliar scenery. He'd never traveled this far into the woods.
"Murtagh." Thorn said. "Was it truly the right thing to leave him?"
"No…but I had to." Murtagh muttered.
"Why is this? Did he not say he thought of you as a brother? Even though you betrayed him?!"
"Yes…"
"Then why do you shame him and your family? He deserved better you know."
"Yes and I agree but his words were not truthful to me. They held no feeling and they meant nothing to him. It was like he rehearsed it before the fact."
"Maybe they meant nothing to you…but maybe they meant something to him."
"……"
"He was in pain. You knew that. Did you just think that maybe they sounded like that because of the pain?"
"Maybe…"
"You felt his pain!! And you not sympathize?!"
"I…I never said…"
"Just think Murtagh!!!!! You have disgraced your family. Because you felt not feeling in words?!?"
"Land. NOW!" Murtagh demanded.
"Feah…" Thorn sinded him as they landed.
"Now go. And deliver this message."
"Yes."
"Tell Eragon…I'm sorry…"
Eragon slowly made way to the place where he sensed Nasuda and Arya. As he neared the door he was becoming nervous. As he stood before the door he. Opened it and sauntered in. Nasuda and Arya looked up, surprised.
"E…Eragon!!!" Arya proclaimed.
"Heh…Look…I surprised you." Eragon said, smirking.
"Oh Eragon!!" Nasuda said, surprise mixed with delight was evident in her voice.
"Aye…" Eragon muttered. He sauntered off to a chair and gratefully sat down. He inclined his head at the barrage of questions were hurtled at him. He looked like he'd been through a war with his tattered garments and bloodied shirt. His eyes, although trusting, were wary. After hours of questions, Arya, finally gained some sense. His eyelids fluttered and his head was bobbing.
"Nasuda…" Arya said. Cutting her off mid-question..
"Yes Arya?" She replied.
"Eragon seems tired. He must rest."
"Rest he shall. Eragon, you may sleep here. I have something to tell you tomorrow, and it will be a shock."
"Why wait for tomorrow?" Eragon mused as he laid down to sleep.
Thorn flew through the sky. An uneasy feeling coming over him. He'd never seen Murtagh so angry before and never has he told him to leave. He pondered these thoughts and was soon consumed with worry. What was his rider going to do? Was he really sorry? What will his rider do?
Nasuda walked into the room in which Eragon was sitting, eating breakfast. He seemed so innocent and yet he radiated pride from every direction. She sighed as she sat next to him.
"Eragon… We've lost Saphira."
An: HAHAHAH!!!! Sooo mean!!! Trust me though! You'll find out if she's dead in the next chapter. I promise! And did you really believe that Eragon was only going to move a little?! If you did…you're a sucker. There's no fun in a story if the main person isn't going to move!! HEHEHE!!! See you next chappie!! R and R!!!
