Eragon: Truth or Dare Chapter 5
Eragon snapped back to reality as Blodgharm entered the tent. "Nasuada, I apologize for not knocking but-" he didn't finish as Nasuada raised her hand. "No need to apologize. You can make it up to me by joining us in this game 'Truth or Dare'!" said Nasuada. Blodgharm gave her a questioning look but nodded his thanks and sat down besides Eragon.
"Okay, You do know 'Truth or Dare' right?" asked Nasuada to the elf. Blodgharm nodded and Nasuada turned to Arya and gave her a sign to choose her victim. Arya understood and looked at Blodgharm, "Blodgharm, Truth or Dare?" she asked the elf. The mentioned elf thought for a moment and replied, "Dare, my Queen." Arya nodded and dared him, "I shall dare you to drink a pint of ale." Blodgharm nodded, "If that is your bidding, your majesty." Replied the elf.
Blodgharm ordered a pint of ale and drank it in one big gulp. Orik stared at him with big eyes, "You drink?" asked the Dwarf King. "I usually do not, King of Dwarves. I only did it as it was the Queen's dare to me." Replied the elf. Orik nodded and seemed to be pondering about something about the elf.
Blodgharm chose his victim, Thorn.
I shall pick Dare, elf. I will continue the tend. Said the red dragon while glancing at Angela.
Blodgharm nodded and dared the dragon, "I dare you to not eat sheep for two days." The dragon seemed to slightly growled, but it mentally sighed at Blogharm.
I shall, elf. Sighed Thorn. Blodgharm nodded and told the dragon that it was his turn. The dragon scanned the crowd and thought who he would pick.
Murtagh, my Rider, Truth or Dare? Asked Thorn. "I shall pick Dare, my dragon!" exclaimed the mentioned Rider. Thorn seemed to be satisfied of his decision and pondered for a moment.
I dare you to kiss Nasuada.. No.. that would pleasure you so, I dare you to kiss Arya! No wait, that would anger Eragon.. Oh! I know, I dare you to kiss Angela! Thought Thorn to everyone in the tent.
Murtagh just sat there, dumbfounded, while Eragon was motioning his half-brother to do his dare. Nasuada was raising her eyebrow, he would be pleasured if he kissed me? Thought Nasuada. While Arya was thinking the same similar thing, Eragon would be angered if Murtagh kissed Arya?
Murtagh reluctantly stroded over to Angela and slightly kissed her cheek and then ran back to his seat, nearly falling over. Thorn then, revealed a very, very, VERY private secret to everyone: Did I mention that Murtagh fancies Nasuada? Said Thorn to every occupant of the tent. Murtagh was blushing. SERIOUSLY blushing.
He moved one chair apart from Nasuada and was now in front of his dragon, Thorn. Nasuada seemed to be unaffected except for the fact that Murtagh fancies her. Wait- fancies her? That is temporary. Thought the Varden leader.
Arya was watching Eragon from the corner of her eye thinking about something, Why would Eragon be angered if Murtagh kissed her? Unless.. No.. That is not true! Thought Arya. Then her subconscious chided in, It is true. How about the time at the Blood Oath Ceremony, huh? Arya sighed. Why oh WHY did her subconscious have to back her out on a corner. Eragon does fancy her too.
Murtagh was watching his feet while everything else was silent, waiting for Murtagh to pick his victim.
