Chapter 8: 'The End'
Everyone is in silence as the laptop comes on, and Deadly Creative puts the computer in her lap and turned the chair to face the people around her. Eragon had began to eat his apple again, and Murtagh was on his third bowl of ice cream that night. Arya was laying down, her eyes half open, and Galbatorax was muttering something about 'life not being fair'. Aaron was holding an empty can of wiped cream, and the white foam was dripping from his upper lip. D.C. smiled, and looked around.
As Deadly Creative logged onto Microsoft Word, she sighed. "What's up?" asked Murtagh as he scooped a large amount of chocolate ice cream into his mouth. A slight frown came across his face before he screamed, "BRAIN FREEZE!"
Arya snorted and sat up, "Murtagh, you are such a loser!"
Aaron looked uncertainly at his older sister, shrugged, and left the room, searching for another can of wiped cream. Galbatorax moaned, "I'm bored."
Eragon raised an eyebrow, and stared at Galbatorax, "me too. D.C., we should do something."
The four characters eagerly looked at the author, waiting for her to speak, "I've got an idea, why don't you all…" she paused, and each one leaned forward. "…SLEEP!"
"You're boring," complained Eragon.
"Yah," agreed Arya. "No wonder we are all bored."
Murtagh nodded after taking another large bit of ice cream, but smaller than last time, "thathsrigh," he smiled and chocolate syrup leaked from his mouth. What he meant to say was, 'that's right', but to D.C. it sounded more like, 'I'm constipated.'
Deadly Creative began to laugh, and Galbatorax joined in, screaming insanely. Aaron came in with chocolate syrup and wiped cream, "what happened since I left?" he asked, and the groaned. "Actually-you don't have to tell me."
Murtagh grabbed the ice cream from Aaron's had, and poured half the bottle into his mouth, disgust spread across Arya's face, as Deadly Creative tried to hold back a laugh. Aaron's face was full of shock and Galbatorax and Eragon just laughed. "Okay," D.C. began. "It is time for the ending of our story."
All eyes were on Deadly Creative as she began to type…

In was a rainy and stormy day outside, and Murtagh, Eragon, Arya, and Galbatorax had all come to Deadly Creative and Aaron's house. The group of them had done many wonderful thins together, and where having a wonderful time. But, there was a slight problem that had arrived out of no where, and had suddenly attack, and it was 'happily ever after'. After several painful fights, the group of people had finally came to an end. Many compromises, discussions, and chocolate, the group of them could gather together in one room and enjoy themselves.
It was Murtagh's turn first to decide what would happen to him.
Deadly Creative handed the laptop over to Murtagh, who happily grabbed it after wiping the chocolate from his hands, "you get the computer first since our readers seem to like you the best." Murtagh nodded and began to type…
After a long pause of a whole second, Murtagh had finally decided what he wanted; heaven on earth. This heaven had different types of chocolate pouring from the gold statues, and lots of beautiful fan girls who where in love with our favorite character-Murtagh. As Murtagh left into his new home, he waved at all his friends. He sung happily about marshmallow clouds and the other great things that would be there, and he pulled out his cell phone and wrote down all the phone numbers of his friends Eragon, Arya, Galbatorax, Aaron, and most of all, Deadly Creative, and who ever that one guy was who actually created him.
Murtagh disappeared and D.C. felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. "Hello Murtagh," she smiled.
"How did you know it was me?" he asked disappointed.
"Caller ID," she laughed. "Arya, how about it's your turn." Arya picked up the computer and begun typing…
It was Arya's turn next for her 'happily ever after', and she decided it would be best to go to Honolulu, Hawaii. Luckily for her, she won a beauty contest in which the prize was a trip to Hawaii for the rest of her life…or until she wanted to come back.
Arya disappeared, "Eragon, it's your turn," Aaron smiled, gesturing toward the computer.
Then Eragon got his turn at happiness, but all it took for him to be happy was candy, apples, marshmallows, and his friends. So, Eragon decided he would go to the mall with a credit card that never ran out of money.
Then Eragon disappeared, and Galbatorax looked eagerly at the computer. D.C. nodded slowly, "yes, it's your turn."
At last, Galbatorax had a chance with the computer. Galbatorax got a better happily ever after than any before him, because he got Murtagh's heaven with clouds…
Murtagh appeared back in the room with a hand full of marshmallows and chocolate smeared across his face.
…Arya's trip to Hawaii…
Arya was wearing a bathing suit and a very confused expression.
…and Eragon's mall and credit card that never ran out of money, all at once!
Galbatorax disappeared, and Eragon reappeared. Eragon was holding a large candy bar and tears began to pour from his brown eyes. It was a rather gross sight.
"What happened?" asked Eragon. "I was about to buy another candy bar!"
Before Deadly Creative could begin to explain to the poor characters, the story had began to write itself…
A 'happily ever after' is a very bizarre concept. Each person has a different mind of what a 'happily ever after' would be. Therefore, poor Galbatorax was in for a load of trouble, since Eragon, Murtagh, Arya and him had extremely different views of 'happily ever after'.
At first, Galbatorax was just in Murtagh's happily ever after. He had never told anyone this, but eating chocolate would make his throat swell, he'd sweat, and break out in hives. Even though he did not eat any of Murtagh's chocolate, there was too much chocolate for the king to not have a reaction, so he did. Galbatorax broke out into hives, his face began to sweat, and his throat swelled. Before the king could use his magic to do undue his allergic reaction, hundreds of 'Murtagh fan girls' came running at the old man.
Luckily, before the angry mob of girls could reach him, he was in Arya's Honolulu, Hawaii. Truth be told, the Rider did not look at all good in a bikini. However, his pains did not end there, he began to get sun burnt. Since he was in 'Arya's happily ever after', there where a large number of boys swarming around her…I mean, him.
Then he was in Eragon's 'happily ever after', and he suddenly felt claustrophobic. There
where people everywhere, some pushing past him, and others trying to give him marshmallows.
Sadly, it just got worst. Galbatorax landed in a mixture of all three 'happily ever after', and he experienced the nastiest of them all…Galbatorax roamed a mall with no ceiling in a blue bikini, and the walls where made of chocolate fountains.
"How can you be allergic to chocolate?" stuttered Murtagh. "That-that just isn't right!"
Arya snorted, "I am glad that I don't have to see him in a bikini, that would just be scary."
"Why?" asked Eragon. "It would bring out his figure."
Deadly Creative gasped, "Eragon!"
"Dude, that's freaky," Aaron laughed.
And that's how Galbatorax spent the rest of his days…in a happily ever after that did not belong to him.
The End
"The End," whispered Deadly Creative.
But our tale does not end with just Galbatorax, no, not at all. For we have Eragon, Arya, and Murtagh who still need their, 'the end.'
Murtagh laughed quietly as he read about Galbatorax' 'the end.' It almost pained him to see someone end in such a way that hurt them so much. Murtagh sighed softly to himself as he looked at his friends around him, they would stick together through everything. So, it was there job to rescue Galbatorax. After mentioning the idea, Arya and Eragon rebuked him, and turned around. Murtagh moaned, it would be his job to save the king from his troubles. He felt that it was his duty to help out a friend in need.
After waving good-bye to people around him, he took the next flight to Honolulu, Hawaii. It was a long and slow journey on the plane, but the boy had enough ice cream to make any one's head spin. Murtagh finally arrived at the air port, and asked for directions to where Galbatorax would be. Taking the last bite of his Hershey's Milk Chocolate, he went into Galbatorax' 'the end.'
It was easy to find Galbatorax, he was in the center of a horde of Murtagh fan girls and Arya's beach boys. In the center of the circle was Galbatorax, sweating like crazy, in hives, and with a sun burnt face. Murtagh helped him up to his feet and used his credit card that never ran out of money to pay for the damages. At the airport, Galbatorax and Murtagh said "good-bye" and Galbatorax left upon the next flight to France.
Murtagh smiled and waved as the plane left the ground, it had been an eventful day, and he headed back for the Arya/Eragon/Murtagh happily ever after and took a bowl of ice cream whispering, "This is the life."
The End
"The End," whispered Aaron and a tear fell from his eye. "I'll miss you Murtagh."
Arya and Eragon looked at each other and felt guilty for not going to rescue their friend. The two of them left the girls room and went for a walk, talking to each other about a bit of everything. They decided to go back and see all of their friends in the Varden, for they did not want to miss another opportunity to help a friend in need.
As they arrived, they saw that they had come in the mist of a battle. Dead people were spread across the red river of blood, slowly seeping into the forest floor. At first, Eragon did not recognize the place, and then he remember it was where he had first found Saphira's egg. They where in the Spine. From above there was a pained cry and Arya looked up, but the sight was too horrible for her to bare. Eragon hesitated, and then looked at the darkened sky to see a blue dragon falling. A cry spilled from his lips as Saphira's body came crashing down in front of him.
'Eragon,' she called.
The tears began to flow gently from his eyes as he placed a hand on his dragon's wing, 'what?' he asked. He could feel her life draining from her body and he fell upon her and exploded into sobs. Misery came over him, and Arya stood, looking down upon him. An awkward silence filled the air, and foot steps where heard.
The last thing Eragon heard before he was stabbed in the heart was the cries of Arya and his dying dragon. Blood sipped from his body and mixed with the blood already on the ground.
Arya, Eragon and Saphira where no more in Alagaesia, but the empire had taken over and the Varden had died out. There was no reason for them to live any longer.
Tears spilled from Deadly Creative's eyes as she read the story and then looked to see Arya and Eragon's bodies lifeless on the floor. D.C. moved to hit the backspace, but Aaron rested his hand on hers and slowly shook his head. "The End," he whispered.
"The End," she repeated.
Live and let die…
The End
Aaron and D.C. where sad when their friends had each gone and had their 'the end', and then they had an idea. It would not be right to let all of the good deeds and not so good deeds go to waste. Each character had finally lived to their end, 'the end'. So, when the two of them where in Deadly Creative's room…
Knock! Knock! Aaron and Deadly Creative looked up. "Come in," yelled D.C.
Through the door came Christopher Paolini (that one person who wrote Eragon and Eldest) and he went over to Deadly Creative, "hi," he said.
"Hello," smiled Deadly Creative, and she put down her laptop. "What's up?"
He held out his hand, and in his hand was a small golden key. "What is it?" asked Aaron.
"A key that opens the door into my character's worlds," he explained.
"Huh?" asked D.C.
"Dude, I'm confused," Aaron stated simply.
Christopher laughed, "It means that you can go and see Murtagh, Eragon, Arya, and Galbatorax when ever you want."
A silver tear fell from Deadly Creative's eye as she slowly took the key from the boy, "thank you," she smiled.
Christopher Paolini smiled back, and said, "Your welcome," before leaving.
…they too finally got their 'the end,' and a key into everyone else's.
The End
Deadly Creative slipped the key into her pocket and hugged Aaron, "I guess we got our happily ever after, after all!"
THE END
Thank you all my reviewers, you made this story so fun to write! I hope you all like the story!
You guys rock my world!

P.S. To everyone who likes this story, I am going to write a sequal called , "The Golden Key"
Mean while, not that far away, was a girl mentioned in the 4th chapter was walking down the street, and her name was Cassie.
Cassie was smiling as she walked down the street, wearing a mini skirt, baby blue tank top, and white flip flops. A wide smile was on her face as she waved to a group of boys. They waved back, but unfortunately for her, Deadly Creative was among the boys. D.C. remembered the fourth chapter and was angry, and therefore whispered a few words into the tallest boys ear. The tallest boy had dark wavy hair and a red t-shirt and jeans on; his name was Jonathan, and Cassie had the world's biggest crush on him. All Deadly Creative had to do know was stand back and enjoy the show...
"Hi," smiled Cassie as she walked up to Jonathan. "How is your day?" she asked, twirling her blond hair around her index finger.
"Good enough," he smiled, and Cassie sighed. "How are you?"
"Very good now that you are here," the words flowed through the air and D.C. was sickened. The fact that Cassie was flirting with one of her best guy friends was just...ew. "Do you want to hang out some time?"
Jonathan's smile turned to a smirk so fast and he rested a hand on her shoulder, "sorry doll baby, I am going out with someone already."
"Oh," she said disappointed, then she changed her mind. "Me too, I am going out with Murtagh."
"Really?" asked Jonathan, and turned to look at D.C., who was already pulling the golden key from her pocket...
