Arak'sembnem

Thorn picked up the old man in his talons. Thorn knocked aside the man's feeble attempt at blocking him out.

'What did you hear?'

'Nothing I heard nothing'

'I believe you not'

Thorn proceeded further into the old man's mind. Thorn noticed the man was strange, always trying to answer a question. There was an memory of a woman he had seen from some of Murtagh's memories, but she seemed older than she looked. What a strange man. It seemed he had heard nothing. Thorn still was not sure though. What if he had, the man was obviously not one of galbatorix's spies, but the man was not one of the Varden.

Thorn went through the man's recent memories, there was a memory of a man, of 17 or 18, who, Thorn thought, had seen too much for a boy of that age, and he had a catlike face. Thorn recognized this man. But why would Eragon be farming? Why would he be away from the goddess Saphira? If it was him, thorn knew, he would never leave Saphira alone. She was too precious.

Murtagh game sprinting around the corner with Zar'roc in his hand. Thorn pushed the thoughts of saphira out of his mind before Murtagh found out. However, Thorn did not know, but Murtagh already knew of his secret little fantasies. He however did not bring it up. They had more pressing concerns at present.

'Did he hear anything?'

'No he, however, has some interesting memories, and seems to know the most curious people. He also seems to need a question answering

'Thorn, how can you care about that, if he'd have heard what we were talking about, and went and told galbatorix, we would have been killed'

'Relax Murtagh sonofnone and listen to what I have to say'

Murtagh relaxed, and paused, he had been stupid, one for not noticing another presence in his mind, and now for ignoring what Thorn has to say, what if it was important. He was also pleased Thorn had remembered his wish to be a sonofnone, he'd rather be fatherless, than have a father of the Forsworn.

'Sorry Thorn, what is up?'

'Oh nothing much, just this man knows this woman that I have also seen in your head, oh and he knows Eragon'

'WHAT!!!!'

'Oh yes, I was rather puzzled at first, as he seems to be farming'

'Well he must have known Eragon before he became a rider'

'No he couldn't have, because he looks like a cat in his memories look'

Thorn sent the memory across to Murtagh.

'He also knows this woman' Thorn continued, and sent another memory across.

'Angela!'

Angela?'

'Yes, she was a herbalist, Eragon told me about her when we were traveling, she also came to see me when I was staying at Farthen Dur. She was a bit mental, to be honest, but she was fun to be around, she always had a question to answer aswell, she told me she was going to prove that Frogs don't exist, I wonder if they do or not….'

'MURTAGH!'

'Oh yeah sorry'

"What is your name old man?" Murtagh asked.

"Always the simple questions" The man replied.

"Answer me!" Murtagh shouted.

The man said nothing; he just stood there, as if he was waiting for Murtagh to do something.

Murtagh was beginning to word a spell that would send a shock down the old man's spine. Thorn, reading his intention's warned him.

'Little one, I don't think you should'

Murtagh ignored him, and reached towards the magic deep within his mind, and then pushed his mind out, and found what he was looking for. The Eldunari. Murtagh filled himself with the energy from the Eldunari. He cast the spell.

'Arak'sembnem' the old man shouted.

Murtagh and Thorn screamed in agony, Murtagh losing energy all the while. It was like a shock going down his spine. Murtagh was furious, the old man had turned his own spell against him, and instead of using the old man's energy, it's taking of his own.

The old man ran away, screaming gleefully.

"I found it" He screamed, "I found it"

'Murtagh end the spell' Thorn told him.

Murtagh ended the spell, and the pain stopped. How could a old man turn a spell against him with one spell? How? That was he last thought of Murtagh, sonofnone before he fainted.
