Powerful Gifts

This story is going great. Sorry I didn't write yesterday, I was busy, but I am here today. I have a couple surprises in store for the next couple chapters. Thanks again for reading.
As Murtagh continued to grow closer, Eragon got onto Saphira and rode to get Oromis and anyone else who could help lend magic toward protecting Ellesmera.
"Don't you think that it is odd that Murtagh would be coming toward Ellesmera. He must know something that we don't if he is willing to risk death like that." exclaimed Eragon
"Yes little one, I was just thinking that. Or maybe he is trying to get killed." replied Saphira
"No, unless something has changed in the past four months, then he still thinks that life is to sweet."
"Yes, but it is certainly a possibility, we have no idea what Galbatorix did to him after he let us go."reminded Saphira
"I guess your right. Lets just focus on what he wants, and how to stop him."
"I know, prepare to go fast little one."
About an hour later at the gate of Ellesmera with Oromis, the queen, and Arya.
"What is going on right now Ederna guard." questioned Arya
"Murtagh has gotten off of his dragon, and is walking this way." replied Ederna
"Why would he stop? Maybe he is not here for any violent meaning." said Eragon
"Maybe so little one." put in Saphira so all around her could hear
"I will go out to meet him," exclaimed Eragon, "I will see what he wants."
"Fine, but don't let him in, no matter what!" said the queen
"I agree, don't let him in, unless he has taken an oath to you." warned Oromis
"Okay, I understand. C'mon Saphira." said Eragon
"Coming." replied Saphira
50 yards away from Murtagh and Thorn.
"Saphira" asked Eragon
"Yes little one."
"I am worried. If Murtagh has learned a powerful enough spell, he could break through the walls of Ellesmera, and kill everyone in it." exclaimed Eragon
"Eragon, all we can do is try. We have no proof that he is here to hurt anyone in Ellesmera,and we have no proof that he is here to harm you. Also, if he was here to harm you, do you think I would let him within a league of you."
"Yes, I know, I am coming to early conclusions. I guess we should unmount as well."
"Fine, just don't do anything rash."
10 feet away from Murtagh and Thorn.
"Hello brother."yelled Murtagh
"Don't call me brother, I am no brother of yours, a brother is someone you grow up with, and someone who helps you. A brother is not a traitor!" Eragon yelled back
"Yes, but whether or not we grew up together, the same blood flows through our veins, the blood of our father."
"He is trying to get inside your head Eragon, don't get angry, and stay as calm as possible." put in Saphira
"I know all his tricks, and I think that he has forgotten it." replied Eragon
A smirk had grown across Murtagh's face, and this unnerved Eragon.
"Why are you here Murtagh." questioned Eragon
"I am here to see if Ellesmera will protect me." said Murtagh,"I know no one in there trusts me, with good reason, but I have to escape, and Thorn and I believe that the elves might be able to find a way to break our vows, and I could help you to defeat Galbatorix. Surely you must understand, I didn't want this to happen, I just want to be forgiven..."
