Chapter 28.1
I grip the edge of Finca's armor as we head back to the Varden's tents to rest. What she has just told me can't be true. Murtagh and Eragon can't be brothers, they look nothing alike! Finca lands and we enter the tent that has been set up for us.
"Allow me to heal your wounds," I say as I gaze at my dragon.
No master, you have been weakened by your fight with Murtagh. Allow me to heal what I can and then go and get Eragon, he must learn of this, Finca growls.
I sigh and sit down as she begins the slow process of repairing my wounds from my sword fight with Murtagh. A few hours later Finca growls and I turn to look at her.
I had wished to not make you go and get Eragon but I am in no position to move. Please go and fetch him for me, master, Finca hums as she lays down on the floor.
I get to my feet and go off to find Eragon. I return with him at my heels a few moments later.
As you wished, I say as I step aside for Eragon to enter.
He enters and I follow.
Eragon Shadeslayer, my dragon growls. Pleasure to meet with you again.
"What is this about?" Eragon asks.
You are the son of Morzan and the younger brother of Murtagh, Finca snarls. That is what this is about!
Eragon jumps back at her outburst and my hand reaches for Nigar.
Forgive me for my outburst but what I say is true, she hums.
Eragon staggers to his feet and leaves Finca and I.
Is that what you wanted? I ask.
It was, Finca hums. Because we are going to take down Galbatorix and free Shruikan!
How? I ask.
Simple, you will act like I have captured you and I will go and ask Galbatorix what he wants me to do with you. One he says that I should take you to the dungeon, we go to the dungeon and grab the green egg before escaping and you returning to face him with me coming in later, understand? She asks.
Not quite, I answer.
