The fifth chapter!
Murtaghs story.
"after Thorn and I left you, Eragon, on the hill, we flew as far north as we could in three days. There we found a village, one without a name. there were some superstitious people there, and at first treated us like enemies. A few days later, though, I convinced them otherwise. Then they treated me like a regular person, but didn't really seem to understand that Thorn had a mind of his own that wasn't about killing livestock and burning buildings. (insert Thorns growl here) after a while though, a passing dwarf stopped into the village and recognized my description. Then he proceeded to gather an attack force and ran us out of the village. We had been there for about a month.
Later, we came across a nice clearing on a ledge in a forest in the Spine, beside one of the many unnamed waterfalls. I built a hut-like thing there, and might have built a castle, but then a girl came out of the woods one night. That was Aviella, though she didn't tell me her name at the time. In fact, she never spoke a single word. I fed her and she gave me some coins, I have no idea where they came from or how she got them, but they were the coins worth the most in Nasuada's empire (not really sure what to call it, where Nasuada reigns as high queen. Not Surda or that city, but the part of Alagaesia where she is the one in charge full time.) she looked scruffy, as if she had been in the woods longer than I had. She also gave me a map that led me to the best game in the forest. Long after that encounter, another stranger came upon us in the woods. Not sure who it was, all I know is that he burned my hut down. And then went on to attack us and yell at us and threaten us till we left. I didn't want to hurt the old guy. That's when we ended up at the barrows of Anghelm, one of the places the Eldurnari warned me about. I accidently woke up the urgal king.
Now you know that the Urgals are about honor and rankings in their tribes, but the king…. Well, there is nothing honorable about that monster.
As much as Galbatorix loved power and deciet, this king loves hurting others and torturing any one. I ended up tying myself to him when I woke him by accident, and not even the name of the ancient language can break the tie. I tried. And now he feeds off of my life force, that's why I was unconcious for so long. He let me go, but I had nine weeks to find enough gold to convince him to give up my tie with him. So that's why I cant get out of it. The other urgals in his tribe are nothing but slaves, urgals outside of the tribe don't even know he exists. Well, I went begging in the forest and what would my luck be but to find more dwarves. They are realllly out to kill me. I cant say I blame them. I got away, but you saw what I looked like when I got here. I imagine that it was similar to what I looked like then. I healed myself and thorn, and we decided that we might just take you up on your offer to stay if we could find you.
We stopped at Ceris, and then…. Well you can guess who found me. And what happened after that. So I guess I really don't have that much more to say, except that dwarven rage is a force to be reckoned with.
That's what happened to me. Now, will you still help me?"
Well how was it? I havent updated in forever because my computer BROKE! Dun dun dun. But now its fixed and I got the next few updates for you guys. I have a lot of comments to respond to, but I will respond to the anonymous ones first.
OrKid Orikson the 5th rider: okay, I will try to get a dwarf in asap, but I really need to figure out how to get the dwarves into my story without killing off Murtagh. Sorry, he is a major role in this story for now, we cant kill him off. Yet.
3eragon: thank you, I agree that she is very powerful for an upstart, but she has more to her past then you realize…. Sorry if eragon is ooc, I am not Christopher Paolini, and I do my best. Most of the time…. I will try to get him right next chapter. Sorry.
HeZ117:I will get eragon and Arya together, I promise. I swear it on the name of the ancient language. It hasn't been used much because Eragon doesn't want it common knowledge, he is traveling with magic users and now has a student to keep it from.
Now the signed in reviews….
Diablo's Heir: im sorry if your insulted, its my story. It is NOT a new race however, I will explain in the next chapter. Yes it is already fantastic and spectacular and I cannot improve on Alagaesia.
Dianna Levett: why thank you
Xandora: did this help? I can go farther into describing him, im toying with the idea of making him a shade…. That would certainly explain his dishonorableness.
RagingBlackWolf:I am working on getting some weaknesses, but if you still don't like, don't read. My story.
Rolaids: here you go, might add more story. Thank you very much, and they sailed for about two months, this is three months after the end of the book. So quite a few miles, no ocean, just river. For now…
: aaww thanks so much! Im glad that someone actually likes my character…. Take a hint some people… I will post as frequently as I can type and post it.
Lighningkid333: I will explain that and more in the next few chapters, hopefully it will be totally unexpected…. You are most welcome for the moon thing.
Oh geez, the comment responses are as long as half of my story…. I need to write more… I responded to more than I meant to, sorry if you showed up twice…. Think I got every one though.
Hey Lightningkid333: are you availible for beta?
OMG I FORGOT THE DISCLAIMER! i own nothing but the characters i make up!
