If I got any wrong (Not counting the one you'll soon submit) please say so. And don't lie! I will check to see if I really did miss count! And now on with the story!!!!

Eragon and Murtagh stood there, dumbfounded by the news that Garrow had told them. He was once a dragon rider.

"H…how…why…" Eragon stammered. His face a total mask of shock.

"I will explain." Garrow said as he cleared his voice. "When my Dragon was just a hatchling, Galbatorix stole him."

"You mean Galbatorix's dragon is…is yours?!" Eragon sputtered.

"Yes my boy. Since no others would hatch for me I went to retrieve my stolen dragon. When I got to him he still remembered me and he fought against the bonds that held him. I told him to be quiet as I placed my hand on his head. The sudden lance of pain knocked me out and when I awoke I found my dragon gone and myself locked up. With the help of the other prisoners I escaped and ran. As I ran I ran into Roran's mother. She, noticing my danger, hid me from the king and nursed me to health. We fell in love after that and she soon joined me as I once more ran from the king. When we felt it safe enough to settle down in the unnoticed village of Caharvell, we vowed never to mention this to anyone. When people asked why we moved here we simply told them 'We wanted a simpler life.' When Roran's mother died giving birth to Roran I was dismayed. When your egg hatched Eragon, I knew it. I just didn't know it was you. If I had known I wouldn't have died."

Murtagh had remained deathly silent through all this. And as Garrow finished his story he mounted Thorn.

"If you want to reminisce on the past than do so, and get caught by the Varden. I for one want to find Saphira and I can do it without you brother. Are going to come?"

"Yes, Murtagh. Goodbye Uncle. I hope to speak to you later."

As they flew off into the horizon, leaving Garrow behind, Eragon, suddenly became fatigued. As he slipped into sleep Murtagh began to think.

"If Galbatorix's dragon was Garrow's…then why didn't it die when he did? Is that not the way of the dragon?"

"He was induced by magic, little boy."

"Do not call me that."

"Sorry, but that's not the point, is it?"

"No…It's Garrow's dragon that has me lost."

"The king seduced Garrow's dragon with black magic. This caused him to forget his choice of rider and consider Galbatorix as his choice. The poor dragon…his mind so warped and twisted. I am glad we are no longer in his services."

"I as well, Thorn. I believe that if we had stayed much longer than we might be just as warped as Garrow's dragon had been."

"Should I land? Eragon is sleeping."

"Yes, I know. But do not land. He can stay the way he is now."

"As you wish."

Hours after the fateful reunion with the past Eragon had woken.

"Look." Murtagh said as he pointed out the ruins of a dragon tower. "Do you see that bluish color?"

"Aye. I wonder what it is."

"Thorn." Murtagh said. "Can you estimate the distance between us and that tower?"

"Yes. One days hard ride on me, with one person…"

"What about two?"

"Considering that I have been carrying two for at least a week, and I am growing tired, at least 3 hard days of flying."

"What about horseback?"

"A fort night and a half of hard riding."

"Walking?"

"At least, a month."

"Thank you Thorn. Land for the night. I must speak with Eragon."

"As you wish my rider."

When they had dismounted and had set up camp Murtagh grew drowsy. But he remained awake to speak with Eragon.

"Eragon," Murtagh muttered. "I need to speak with you."

"What is it?"

"I think we need to ride the horses to the tower because I think if we arrive on Thorn, and that is Saphira, we might scare her into leaving."

"A wise idea. But the horses? I haven't seen them for many days."

"They are a few leagues ahead of us and we can get to them on the back of Thorn tomorrow."

"How do you know that they'll be there?"

"Because I described the place to them and told them that when they get there to wait for us. They gave me their word."

"Do you really trust a horse like that?"

"I wasn't the best idea, but it's all we had to go on. And the Varden would've surely seen us if Thorn was carrying two horses in his claws."

"Too true. Too true."

They said no more of the plan that night, and soon drifted off into sleep. The next morning they were well on their way to the clearing where the horses we to be. Whe they arrived, there was chaos. The ground was torn to pecies and bodies of horses and Urgals lay everywhere. Eragon scanned the bodies for any familer horse. Praying Snowfire wasn't among the casualties.

"Please don't be dead." Eragon cried.

"Who are you talking about?"

"If Snowfire's dead…Brom's gonna kill me!"

"He will?"

"We paid extra for this horse and we had to bribe the owner. We promised to him that we'd treat Snowfire like royalty. And that his family would be the first to receive one of Snowfire's brood. He can't be dead!!"

"He probably isn't."

"Brom's going to kill me anyway…."

An: This took for ever!!! Geez. Oh well, hope you enjoyed it!!! Don't forget to review!!!

(Sadly I must thank my annoying younger sis for the idea of who Garrow's dragon should've been.)

And once more, thank you to,

Egypt's princess
