Chapter 19.2
The next morning I awaken and slip down to see Murtagh. I feel sorry for him but I can't do much about his predicament except be there for him. When I enter the chamber in which he is being held, I find it strange somehow. I mean sure I've cared about him, but with Tamli in his unconscious state it just seems like he is the only one who I can reach out to.
"So you got away?" Murtagh asks as I approach him.
That's right, I growl. I did.
He merely sighs.
"You should go before you are caught," Murtagh suggests.
I nod and turn to leave.
I will come visit you again, I growl as I walk out and go back to the dragonhold.
Either Ajihad and his dwarf army aren't sure of what I can do or either they don't trust me, it one of the two, that I'm sure. I make my way to the dragonhold and enter my cave. There a collapse to the floor. The eggs are safe, we were able to barrow Eragon's pack until I found Tamli's, which knowing Eragon, might be with him. The next moment I am awakened to see that one of the dwarves is in my cave, let my repeat MY cave.
Who are you? I ask.
"My name is Orik and as for you Finca ilf carnz orodum to visit your rider," the dwarf says.
Ilf carnz orodum? What does that mean? I wonder.
"I see you are puzzled dragon so allow me to explain. What I said was It is one's obligation," Orik says.
That's what it meant, I think as I breathe a sigh of relief.
I shall come after all it is not my wryda to visit him? I question as I use a word from the ancient language here.
"It is your fate, yes," Orik says as he leads to my master.
As we enter the chamber where he is kept, Orik stays at the entrance to give Tamli and I some time alone. As I near him I find that he is in a trance-like state. I stop beside him and wait for him to sense my presence. He does so immediately and opens his eyes. His eyes are a lighter purple, almost a faint pink.
Your eyes? I question.
I have spoken with a dragon that you have been in contact with, my master says as I narrow my eyes is curiosity.
