P.S. who said that quote about hope origially?


Eragon lay restlessly in his bed, thinking back on what his father had told him about Galbatorix.

Flashback

"There was this car competition, you see." Brom had hesitated, "You know the Dragon Series."

"Yes, they're only the most luxurious cars in existence!" Murtagh had replied, curiosity aroused.

"Well, in the finals of that competition, there were only two Series left: the Dragon Series and the Lion Series. In the end, Roial's Lion Series lost...to my Series."

"What!?" The two half-siblings had exclaimed as one.

Brom had sighed softly, "I didn't want to tell anyone about it for fear that he would repeat what happened..."

Selena took over the narrative, "The night after Galbatorix lost, he hunted down and brutally murdered most of Brom's team. He vanished without a trace after that. The fact that he never came after your father gave us reason to believe he would return...and he has!" His mother had looked at everyone with tears in her eyes, "We're going to need to move!"

End Flashback

Eragon exhaled quietly. Afterwards, he'd retreated to his room, sounds of Murtagh being berated for leaving him alone traveled from downstairs. Eragon curled up into a foetal curl under his blankets.

Someone knocked on his door. Eragon shot up, startled. He hadn't noticed that the sounds had stopped.

"Eragon?" His half-brother asked, "May I come in?"


And next time, on RD, RL...the moment we've all been waiting for....Murtagh has a heart to heat with lil' ol' Eragon! ;P
