3. Of Lions and Treasures

I got a review! Made me update faster. I didn't have time for a long one.

Disclaimer: NOT MINE! (Too bad.....the things I could do with Murtagh...."

Eragon looked up wearily. "Got beat up pretty bad."

"By who!" Murtagh exclaimed angrily.

"Somebody named Galbatorix. Wanted me to pass on a message to my father."

Murtagh was glaring a hole through the table by this point. "And how did he get you?"

"He sent his thugs to knock me unconscious."

"And where were you at this point?"

"If you aren't done with your Spanish Inquisition..." Eragon muttered.

Murtagh lifted his terrifying glower to him.

"All right. Fine. I tried to follow you to the club on foot. Happy?"

Murtagh looked positively murderous. He took a deep breath to calm himself. "I will try to ignore that you didn't follow my instructions. When you heal, we're going to have a talk about this."

After another deep breath, Murtagh continued, "In the mean time, I'm going to take you to Doctor Ajihad. When Brom gets back, make sure to explain the situation to him. We'll try to get answer then. What was your message, exactly?"

"That the Lion will kill the dragon's treasures. One. By. One."

So...short I know...but most will be revealed next chapter. Promise. I the mean time......R&R :D
