Murtagh

Eragon! Don't mess with that! Solembum cried as he rushed to the toddler, making him put down the potion he had in his hand. 'Why did I get left with this duty?' He asked himself. Everyone decided that they need to look for a cure to turn Eragon back into his normal age and of course he needed a babysitter, but no one really wanted to be left alone with him, so they all chose Solembum to do the dirty work. Eragon, sit down and be quiet. He sighed as the toddler did exactly the opposite of what he said.

"Soley! Play!" Eragon whined as he outstretched his hands toward the werecat. Solembum backed away from the toddler, not wanting to play with him. "Play! Play!" He chanted as he giggled. Solembum started to inwardly panic as he had no more room to move. Quickly, he scanned the room for something safe a toddler could play with.

Eragon, look! It's a stuff froggy! Why don't you play with that? He suggested, getting the child's mind from him to the stuff frog Angela kept with her. Solembum inwardly sighed with relief as the toddler's path veered from his direction to the stuff frog's.

"Eragon!" Solembum heard Angela's voice call from outside the tent. Solembum had never thought that her voice would be like an angel's blessing, for his torture had FINALLY ended. Eragon looked at the entrance to the tent as Angela walked in, holding the stuff frog to his chest. Angela smiled at seeing him and her stuff animal. "You like Albert, don't you Eragon?" She asked, referring to the frog he was holding.

"Fwoggy! Fwoggy!" Eragon cheered as he bounded over to her. Angela giggled as she ruffled his brown hair. "Angy! Angy! Out! Out!" He pleaded with big brown eyes. Angela smiled, cooing over how adorable he can be, but made Solembum annoyed.

"Okay let's go then!" She said leading the toddler outside. Eragon cheered, holding Albert close to his chest as he bounded about outside. "What do you want to play?" Angela asked, kneeling down in front of the happy child.

"I don't know…" Eragon mumbled, making Angela giggle.

What's so cute about a toddler? Solembum asked, trotting over to Angela and sitting beside her.

"Everything! Especially little Eragon!" Angela said, hugging the child. Eragon giggled, hugging her back, dropping Albert in the process.

"Hey Eragon, Angela." Orik said walking over to them with Arya and Saphira. Eragon let go of Angela, grabbing Albert off the ground and showing it to the trio.

"Fwoggy! Fwoggy!" He cheered smiling.

That's a cute frog you have there, Eragon. Saphira acknowledge. Eragon beamed up at her as he held the frog up close to his chest.

"Eragon!" They heard someone call. At hearing his name, Eragon turned to see a five year-old boy with dark brown hair and gray eyes.

"Well, hello there. Who are you?" Angela asked the boy. He looked up at her as he got close to them.

"I'm Murtagh." He replied smiling. Everyone was shocked, well except Eragon.

"Murtagh?!" Everyone shouted (except Eragon) in surprised. Murtagh nodded.

"Where's Eragon?" He asked. Eragon toddled up to him, smiling.

"Here!" He cheered. Murtagh looked at him surprised.

"You also turned into a child?!" He asked, somewhat surprised. Eragon nodded, showing him Albert.

"Fwoggy!" He cheered happily. "Mury! Fwoggy!" Eragon cheered again. Murtagh looked at Albert with interest.

"Where did you get it?" Murtagh asked, taking Albert out of little Eragon's hands. Eragon pointed at Angela.

"Angy! Angy! Fwoggy from Angy!" He replied happily. Murtagh looked over Albert once more before giving it back to Eragon. Eragon clutched Albert to his chest again.

"Murtagh, how did you turn into a five year-old?" Arya asked, looking at him. Murtagh shrugged, somewhat listening to Eragon babbles about Albert and Soley the kitty.

"I don't know… I woke up like this." Murtagh replied.

"Both of you woke up and were like this… something is fishy." Angela said, looking at the two children.

"Mury! Play! Play!" Eragon pleaded, taking Murtagh's small hand into his. "Play! Play!" Murtagh smiled at Eragon nodding.

"Okay!" He said as Eragon lead him to a tree a few yards away to play at.

"What do you suggest happened to them?" Orik asked as the five of them watch them play around the tree.

"I don't know. It is mysterious." Angel muttered. "But it is a good mystery! Cause we get two adorable little children out of it!" She cheered, Arya glaring at her.

"We have to turn Eragon and Murtagh back; it's not a good mystery." Arya stated, making Angela frown.

"It's nice to have children around thou, because they're adorable!" She said making Arya more annoyed.

It is not a good thing, because they are annoying. Solembum said, swishing his tail back and forth. I want them back to their normal age. He added.

But we can keep them a child for a longer period of time even after we find the cure, because Eragon is quit adorable. Saphira said, Angela nodding in agreement.

"Mury hit me!" Eragon cried as he ran up to them, tears in his eyes. Murtagh ran up behind him, shaking his head.

"No I did not!" He defended himself. Eragon hide behind Angela's legs shaking his head.

"No! You hit me!" Eragon pointed an accusing finger at him as Angela ruffled his hair.

"Murtagh say you're sorry." Angela said. Murtagh shook his head, crossing his arms stubbornly.

"No!"

"Murtagh." Angela warned him. Murtagh slowly gave in sighing as he went to Eragon, hugging him.

"I'm sorry." He grumbled as Eragon hugged him back smiling.

"It's okay! Play?" He asked looking up at Murtagh curious. Murtagh nodded as he was the one to lead Eragon away.

"Solembum, follow them." Angela ordered the werecat.

What! Why me?! Solembum asked, not wanting to be near them.

"Because you are good at watching children." Angela replied, looking at him. Solembum growled as he walked toward the children, dreading every step of the way.

"How are we even going to start looking for a cure?" Orik asked. Angela shrugged.

"We can look through some books I have in my tent right now, while Solembum watches them." She said. Arya nodded as the four of them walked toward her tent.

Are you sure Solembum is going to keep an eye on them? Saphira asked, looking behind her at where her rider was.

"They're fine Saphira! Solembum will keep an eye on them, or else." Angela said the last part darkly as they walked into her tent.

You better be right. She sighed.

"Orik, to make Saphira feel better, go watch them with Solembum." Angela ordered the dwarf. Orik nodded as he excited the tent just as they heard Solembum yowl with pain. The three left in the tent, walked out, wondering what made the werecat yowl like that. They saw Eragon and Murtagh looking at him as he put his tail between his paws.

"Solembum! What's the matter?!" Orik asked him. Solembum looked at them.

He yanked my tail! He screamed, gesturing to Eragon, who was now bent over him.

"I'm sowwy." He apologized.

Sorry is not going to fix my beautiful tail! Solembum cried.

"Solembum be nice to him!" Angela ordered him.

But he yanked my tail!

"I'm sowwy!" Eragon said again.

"Solembum, he is just a two year-old… right now. I bet he didn't mean it." Orik reasoned with him.

Whatever. Solembum muttered.

"Are you okay?" Murtagh asked him with concern. Solembum nodded as he walked further away from the two children wanting to keep distance.

"Solembum, apologize." Angela said. Solembum glared at her.

Why?

"He did say he was sorry." Orik pointed out.

But he hurt me!

"He tried to make it better, Solembum!" Angela said, tapping her foot.

"Everyone settle down!" Arya ordered, getting annoyed by the fighting happening. "Eragon said he was sorry, let's just leave it at that."

"But, Solembum needs to apolo-"

"Leave it at that." Arya hissed through her clenched teeth.

"Eragon?" Murtagh suddenly said. Everyone looked at the spot Eragon used to be, but found no toddler there.
