An: Okay…no more threats to kill me now; sadly you won't be finding out anything about Saphira in this chapter. Sorry for breaking my promise… Hope you enjoy. (Implied suicide)

"You what?!" Eragon yelled, suddenly standing. His legs weren't that strong yet and he collapsed onto the ground.

"We…err…lost her?" Nasuda stuttered as he slowly stood up.

"How can you lose a giant sapphire dragon?!"

"When she heard the news of how your condition was she left suddenly."

"How…?"

"We sent Thorn and Murtagh after her but one night she disappeared. And they couldn't find her."

"You mean…"

"We believe it…"

"No…No…No, no no NO!" Eragon screamed. He stormed through the tent in a saddened rage. As he left the tent he was startled to see Thorn coming at him. He landed gracefully and suddenly a foreign voice came to him.

"Eragon!!" Thorn yelled. Making Eragon cringe.

"What is it?" Eragon inquired.

"It's Murtagh…He needs your help!"

"Murtagh?! Where is he? Take me to him! NOW!"

"Climb on." Thorn said as he lowered his body for Eragon.

"Take me to him quickly!"

Eragon felt a sharp pain in his side as Thorn lifted off and began to fly. He'd missed this feeling. The feeling that he controlled the world and if he so wished it he could fly as fast as light. He faded into old memories and was jostled from the when Thorn spoke.

"Eragon." Thorn said.

"Yes?"

"I no noting of my master's plans but I fear the worst."

"As do I."

"You must help him in any way possible. We can not lose him."

"I will Thorn. I will."

As they neared where Murtagh was he was just beginning.

He slowly slide the noose over his head. As he secured the knot in it. His eyes were blurry with tears as he slowly moved the stump away. He moved the stump from under his feet and was dangling. A gruesome sight. His breaths were shallow and he was losing air. He just hung there. His eyes began to close as Eragon ran towards him. He shut his eyes, not believing the sight before him. Eragon couldn't move. He was too injured. It suddenly became dark and he gave up. Eragon took Zar'roc from its sheath on Murtagh's belt and sung at the rope he was dangling from. He hit his target and flung the sword away as he caught Murtagh.

"NO!!!" Eragon screamed. "NOOO!!!!"

Murtagh's body lay limp in his arms. His chest not rising. Thorn sensed death and left to die away from Eragon, to save him the pain.

"NOOO!!!" He cried again. Burying his face into Murtagh's chest. Tears were overflowing as he half sobbed, half talked into his chest. "N…o…d…d…don't die…I …I need…you… You… are my…brother…n...not…a traitor… Not to me. N…not...to…anyone…D…don't…die!"

Again tears overflowed and Murtagh's chest was wet with his tears. Eragon looked to the sky and called out,

"Haverlinch, Brom, Murtagh!" Eragon chocked out, barely able to speak the words right. A ghostly figure stood before him. He saw Brom's caring face and his sorrow filled eyes. He buried his head into Murtagh's chest once more and cried again.

"Eragon…he's…"Brom said, trying to comfort him.

"Stay away!" Eragon spat as Brom tried to touch him. "Just go away!"

"If you want me to go I will, but why did you call me?"

"I…I needed you…I needed…your words of…sorrow…"

"I have none." Brom said as he disappeared.

"Wait! What do you mean you have none?!"

But it was too late, Brom was gone. Eragon looked away from where Brom once stood and looked at Murtagh's limp form. His tears threatened to overflow again and he let them. There was no one there to dishonor him. After hours of crying he finally stood and sheathed Zar'roc. He stood solemn and warped to the camp. As he laid Murtagh's body on the bed he once more let the tears overflow. Nasuda came in to see what was the matter and she laid a hand on his shoulder. He lashed out and he hit her wrist. A deep cut forming on contact. She sighed in sorrow and pain and slowly left the room, leaving him to weep. Many tried to comfort him, and all were sent away with injuries. Many soon left him alone. Not willing to get hurt.

Fighting the dark cloak of death wasn't easy. It choked the life and breath out of him. He continued to fight it, but to no avail. He felt immense sorrow as he stopped moving. All the suddenly a figure stood next to him. Its shape reminded him of Brom….

An: OMG! I was totally crying when I wrote this! I wasn't planning for this plot and I don't want to revise it. It'll make the chapter nerdy if I do. Just to let you all know…There will be no updates for 5 weeks cause I work 5 weeks this summer.

A spell I made up.

Got this quote from: DragonRider2000. A reviewer of mine. It made me laugh so I put it in the chapter. Thanks a lot DragonRider2000!
