Eragon: Truth or Dare Chapter 3

"I dare you to let Thorn dangle you in his jaws for 1 minute straight while singing 'Drive By'." Said Nasuada. Thorn mentally chuckled to Nasuada and Orik paced drunkly towards Thorn. Thorn bit his shirt and dangled him in his jaws. Orik was singing:

"This is not a drive bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye!"

"Just a sly guy lookin' for a woo fly!"

"This is not a drive bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye!"

"YEAH!"

By this time, everyone was at histerics (excluding Arya, of course) and Thorn let Orik drop on the floor. "That was hilarious!" exclaimed Murtagh. Firnen was snorting of laughter with Saphira and Thorn was rolling on the ground, laughing. After a while, everyone was settled.

Your turn, Orik. Inquired Firnen.

Orik nodded and said, "Mine choose grass!" while pointing to Firnen.

"He called Firnen 'grass'?" asked Arya. Nasuada nodded while Murtagh was raising his eyebrow.

Very well then, friend-Orik. I choose Truth. Said Firnen.

"Hey! How come no more Dares?" retorted Angela.

Nasuada shrugged while Eragon was just staring at Orik. "Grass! Why are ya green? Water blue and fire red, why grass green?" said Orik.

Eragon was thinking and snapped his fingers, "'Water' is Saphira while Thorn is 'Fire'. He's asking why is Firnen, also called 'Grass' for him, is green." Said Eragon to the others. Firnen nodded.

I am green because I was naturally green for some reason but I do not know why. Said the green dragon.

Orik did a salute then said "Very well!" and fell down on the floor, out cold. Firnen mentally tsked to the others and said:

Murtagh, my dear 'friend', do a back flip on Thorn. Dared the green dragon to the red Rider. He nodded and climbed up Thorn. He did a back flipped and nearly tripped when he landed because of Thorn's rough scales. He climbed down the red dragon and looked at Angela, who was being left out.

"Angela, Truth or Da-" he didn't finish when Angela interrupted him, "Dare! Start the tend!".

Murtagh nodded, "I dare you to.. tell us who you fancy." He said. Angela glared at him and slapped him. Hard. The herbalist scolded the poor Rider and turned to Eragon.

Uh oh. Thought Eragon.
