For those who are still interested in this story *coughcoughprobablynoonecoughcough*, here's chapter two. The daily task we view in this chapter is walking the dog...err dragon.
I hope its not as bizarre as the first one. If it is, I'm sorry. :( I'm really random, and some of the things that I don't find bizarre and think are absolutely hilarious are usually completely bizarre to other people.
And also italics denote when Shruikan or any dragon is talking to Galbatorix as well as thoughts.
There is a small blurb of a song called "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley in here. Haha, rickrolled. (if you don't know what it is, look it up on wikipedia)
The sun dial had finally reached midday.
Various people had come to visit Galbatorix today. First Durza came in the morning, then the mail man, then Murtagh in his angstness, and lastly the chef asking what he would like to eat for dinner. Growing tiresome, Galbatorix yawned and stretched his limbs.
"What a long day it has been." Galbatorix said to himself out loud.
Then, all of sudden, Galbatorix heard a distinct male voice.
Really? Because I haven't ate for a week. So it would be nice if you let me free so I could eat...and this room reeks of mold and burnt plastic...
Galbatorix stiffened and looked around the room to see no one was there. "Whoosit...whatsit talkin' to me?!" Galbatorix shouted. "This hasn't happened since the Christmas of '72 when I stomped all those dwarves!" Galbatorix paused. "Are you Santa Claus?"
A frustrated sigh emitted from the voice. I am NOT Santa Claus.
"Good" Galbatorix retorted, "because I did not ruin Christmas that year. It was definitely the Grinch who stole Christmas!"
Galbatorix, can you please snap out of being absolutely insane for a minute so I can please eat? The dragon pleaded.
"Oh, oh, ooooooh" Galbatorix exclaimed in a shrilled tone, "Shruikan you should have just asked me, you silly dragon!"
I did. And every time I asked, you had something "more" important to do. For example, when I asked yesterday, you claimed you were too busy even though you sat in the throne room staring at the wall with your mouth wide open for three consecutive hours. Shruikan explained.
"I should take you for a walk!" Galbatorix exclaimed as he changed the subject. Another frustrated sigh erupted from the dragon.
Galbatorix got up from his chair and walked out of the throne room. He went through a dark and winding corridor and then turned left. He heard blaring alternative metal music emitting from Murtagh's room. Galbatorix growled. As much as he hated charities, Eragon, and Yugioh, he hated alternative rock music almost as much.
Galbatorix stomped over to the door and ripped it open. Galbatorix looked into the room to see no sign of Murtagh or hear any of the horrendous alternative metal music. Then a song began to play on the stereo.
"Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you," Rick Astley sang from the CD. "never gonna you make cry, never gonna say goodbye, never gonna tell a lie and hurt you."
Realizing what happened, Galbatorix exclaimed, "I've been rickrolled!"
He quickly shut the door as fast as possible.
"Damn you Murtagh" Galbatorix yelled as he shook his fist at the air, "you will definitely pay for this embarrassment in the not so distant future!"
Galbatorix continued his journey towards Shruikan's quarters. He took a straight path for awhile, and then turned left. Then he made an immediate right. The king walked exactly 17.436 feet and then turned 45 degrees to the left. He walked for a really long time (approximately 10.8932 minutes) and finally made it Shruikan's quarters. He carefully opened the door to Shruikan's quarters due to his recent rickrolling.
About freaking time. Shruikan greeted.
Galbatorix made a sigh of relief when he heard Shruikan's voice. The king walked into the dingy room. Two measly lights hung from the ceiling and hay covered the floor. The black creature that had called him all this way sat in the corner of the room with a rather angry look on its face.
"Are you ready for our walk?" Galbatorix asked excitedly. He began to pull a leash off the wall.
I am not going on a walk. Especially with the likes of you. Shruikan stated.
"Oh come on Shruikan! It'll be like old times..." Galbatorix exclaimed with the leash in his hand. He slowly walked over to the looming black dragon.
Absolutely not. Shruikan interrupted.
"It'll be an adventure!" Galbatorix said as he moved even closer to the dragon.
That still doesn't change the fact that I don't want to be seen with you. Shruikan said.
"Hold still!" Galbatorix commanded as lassoed the leash in the air. Shruikan growled and then breathed fire at the lasso. Galbatorix was able to dodged the fire and somehow managed to lasso the leash on to the black creature's neck. The dragon growled even more and shook its head to try free himself from his bondage. Galbatorix grinned manically and pulled the doors open to the stable.
Untie me, you fool! Shruikan demanded.
Galbatorix ignored the dragon and walked outside. Shruikan stayed in his place until he was choked into moving outside. The dragon growled again.
If prescription drugs existed right now, I wouldn't have this problem... Shruikan grumbled to himself.
Galbatorix skipped around the backyard as Shruikan sauntered behind him. The king turned around and looked at Shruikan expectedly. Confused, Shruikan just looked back at the insane old man.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Galbatorix asked.
Here, let me use my special photosynthesis powers to soak in energy from the sun! Shruikan replied sarcastically. Seriously, what do you expect me to eat?
Galbatorix pointed the the grass on the ground. Shruikan looked at the king with a dumbfounded look.
Are you serious? Shruikan exclaimed. What the hell do you think I am, a goat?
Galbatorix just looked at the dragon and grinned. The dragon looked back at the king and growled at him.
"I love hanging out with you Shruikan." Galbatorix said. "And look, there's some nice looking deer over there drinking some water to join us on our nice walk."
The dragon ears perked up and turned its head to see the deer. He began to walk over to the deer and Galbatorix pulled him back. The dragon growled and looked at the insane old man giving him an expression of disapproval.
What can I do to make this nitwit drop that god forsaken leash so I can go munch on those deer... The black creature pondered.
After a minute or two of staring at the kooky old man, the dragon bared his teeth and looked like he was absolutely up to no good.
"Oh my god, Galbatorix! I think I just saw Eragon run into the forest with a bag of charitable donations listening to some John Mayer!" Shruikan cried.
"Oh dear god!" the king gasped.
The dragon took this time as opportunity to make his getaway. The dragon took three steps but then was jerked back. Shruikan turned around to see the old man smiling and pulling the leash back.
"Thought you had tricked me this time, dragon!" Galbatorix stated in a Sean Connery accent. "I'm not that insane...yet!"
A growl erupted from the frustrated black dragon.
I officially hate my life. Shruikan said to himself.
Yay Chapter 2. I love how Shruikan hates Galbatorix. haha And I like the random spurts in time when Galbatorix isn't crazy, which was like one line in this entire chapter. I think I might have more random normal Galbatorix moments. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
Reviews would be greatly appreciated. Even if you want to tell me that I need to put in a mental asylum, I don't care. :D
