As night fell, Sera and Serenity grew more and more concerned with Murtagh's disappearence. He wasn't hurt, or he'd sent a message some how, used the stores of energy from Zar'roc. But nothing...no news was so unlike him. So Serae decided to find him herself. It had been the threat against her that had caused him such worry, and therefore it was her place to find the boy. Serenity relayed a message to Shurikan, Kyle, ANd Gabriel quickly as she and Sera took off, cutting the air with powerful wingstrokes.

kylara was asleep when sera left. Kyle woke her up to give her the message. Ky rolled over and went back to sleep but a few minutes later she woke up and said "she did what?!" Kyle was just starring at her nad said "i didn't know you could move that fast." Ky groaned and walked over to him after she smacked his snout she said "why did she leave to go after him?" Kyle answered with one word "love" you know she cares about him. Ky had to agree it was occasionaly obvious that something was up. then she contacted shruikan and asked him when he thought sera would be back. shruikan answered truthfully that he didn't know. sera guessed at the time and decided that if she wasn't back by morning that she would go looking for her. as she fell back asleep she thought of her father and dreamed of him of talking to him and what the world would be like if he hadn't died.she went to sleep with a smile on her face.

It didn't take long for Sera to pick up on Murtagh's trail. He'd never been either stealthy or subtle. The markings and trails led back to Helgrind. Which meant that the Ra'zac had wanted her to follow him.
As this dawned on Sera and Serenity a surge of pain seemed to slpit Sea's back. She could feel blood flow from the open wound in almost waves. Serenity landed and Sera rolled from the dragon's back as something whizzed by her ear. An arrow. And with what she knew of the Ra'zac, probably one soaked in seithr oil. She used the energy from Vreal's sword to cantact Shurikan's mind with a desprate call for help.

Kylara felt shruikan call her and she was up in an instant. one benefit of falling asleep in your clothes is in the midst of an emergency is you don't have to get dressed but Ky wasn't thinking about that right now she ran downstairs where one the servant s had her dragon saddled. Ky threw herself into the saddle and immediatly had Kyle take off. it didn't take long for them to over take the trail and follow it all the way. as they got closer Ky could sense sera and she could tell her friend was hurt. Kyle was speeding and after a while ky made him slow down. she was trying to contact sera with her mind or at least serenity. she was picking up something but she couldn't exactly tell who or what it was. that was when she saw it. serenity was breathing fire to ward off two razac and protecting sera who was on the ground. Ky ran over and immediatly washed out the wound. she got some of the seither oil on her hands but she couldn't worry about the burn right now as soon as sera was badaged up she pulled her bow and took careful aim and shot the two razac through the fire. one was a direct hit and the creature dropped dead immediatly but the other was only injured and ran off. serrenity seemed o.k. but she was very tired. Ky turned and looked at sera she was breathing alright. Ky bent over and gently picked up the young queen. as she strapped her itno her saddle and sent her back to urubaen she wrote a note to kalles and sera. in the note she explained how she was going after the razac that had gotten away and to find out what had actually happened to murtagh. before she left serenity said "be careful." Ky mounted Kyle and off they flew.

Murtagh couldn't move. He hadn't ever felt such pain. Not when his father had thrown Zar'roc at him, not in all his training and things with Galbatorix. He was in Helgrind, and that was all he knew. He could recall why or how. He had passed out and regained some of his energy, but only enough to send a feeble presceence to Kylara.
Sera's marred back was almost a perfect mirror image of the scar Murtagh bore, which frightened many of the best doctors. because they knew Murtagh hadn't and never would have anywhere near the same mobility she had beforehand.

Kylara got murtaghs feeble contact nad managed to follow it to the helgrind. when she got there Kyle said "don't get you self killed you know what will happen to me if you do. get murtagh and get out. i'll be waiting for you and ready to fly as soon as you come over the hill. Ky hugged her friend knowing that if she didn't make it this would be the last time they saw each other. she looked right into kyles eyes and said "i love you my friend andif this is good bye i hope you go peacefully. " wiht that Ky waked over the hil and climed right up the side of the helgrind. once she got to the top and managed to look into one of the rooms she managed to get into the cell. once in she quietly opened the door. and walked out. after looking around she saw no one was there. strange she thought but then she heard a moan coming form one of the rooms. quietly she crept over and looked in. as she had expected it was murtagh. he was barely concious and was very pale. Ky looked around just to make sure no one was there then she opened the door to his cell. as she walkked in murtagh shrank back from her. Ky said "its o.k. its me Ky. i'm here to rescue you." murtagh looked at her through glazed eyes. he tried to get up but Ky pushed him back down and picked him up herself. once she had a good grip she called Kyle nad told him to come to the third wondow on the south side of the helgrind. as she intered into the cell she had gotten in through a gurad walked in and just as he got over to murtaghs cell she jumped out the window and landed on kyle back. as she crouched down sheltering murtagh with her body she easily strapped him into the saddle as she turned and saw the other razac that she hadn't killed following along on the ground. ky sat down and shot this wone right through the heart if they even had a heart. it dropped but she didn't have time to stop to see if it was actually dead.murtagh monaed infront of her as she settled down and grabed him to hold him on. as they flew back to urubaen she began to heal him.

Once Murtagh regained a slight bit of energy, he tried to speak. He asked quietly, to anyone with less hearing ability then an elf it would just be him moving his lips. "They were bragging...about Sera....is she alright?," He said. He worried so much... Even after his ordeal, all he cared about was Sera's safety.
Sera hadn't much stirred since she'd returned, but Serenity assured everyone she just needed rest.

Kylara was holding the poor guy on the dragon and she didn't want to make hi worry nay more than really necessary so she said "Sera is fine and you'll get to see her once we get back to the castle. i promise that everything will be fine once we get back. then she got a message from nicolae who was wondering what she was doing away from the castle with murtagh. ky ignored him but when he persisted she gave him the whole story. iclunding the par t about the injured sera that she hadn't told murtagh.

Nicolae went straight to the infirmary where Sera lay on her stomach, resting. Her back had been left to heal naturally, the physicians fearing that any unnecessary magical interference would harm her mobility further. No one had told Sera this, but she stirred as Nicolae took a seat beside her.
"They said it would scar. That it may even give me as much pain and trouble as either Murtagh's or Eragon's.," She said quietly. "I am such a fool. I shouldn't have run off like that. Father would never have done something so foolish. For anyone."
Shurikan interrupted at that point. He couldn't let the poor girl beat herself up like that. Especially after what her father had done but never told her. Ah, but there, my young Queen, you are mistaken. Your father did take off like that. He left all of Uru'baen in Morzan's...capable hands. To go after your mother. No matter what anyone may tell you, he loved your mother, and through that love, he learned to love you. Do not trouble yourself like that. Because he did the same thing.
~
"Thank you, Kylara.," Murtagh said. As weak as he was, he kept his balance by hanging tightly onto one of Kyle's neck spikes. "Is Kyle alright?," He asked quietly, not wanting to strain the beast. Thorn flew low, as weak as his Rider. The Ra'zac were gently on no one.

Kylara thought about what Murtagh had said and eventually asked kyle how he was doing. Kyle gave her an exasperated growl and said "could we please land?" Ky relented she had really wanted to go straight home but realized that was not ging to be possible. she gave the order and both dragons landed and in half an hour everyone was asleep. the nextg morning ky looked in the direction of urubaen and saddled up kyle. she knew they would definatly make it home today. murtagh managed to get up and was leaning against kyle when ky turned back around. ky asked you ready to go? we'll be there in about two hours." murtagh nodded and climed on to kyle. Ky climed up behind him and they took off. it took them less time than Ky originaly thought to get all they way back to urubaen. as they landed murtagh jumped off and ran into the castle. Ky stayed downstairs and unsaddled kyle before facing reality.

Murtagh had done nothing but pologies to Thorn for the pst two hours. Memories were finaly returning of how he had gotten to Helgrind. And he felt guilt just over flow. He rushed up to the infirmry, where Sera lay doing her chores. The doctors refused to let her out of their sight. They didn't want her to accidently cause any more damage than was nessecary.
As Murtagh burst up the stairs, they were changing the dressing on the gash. To streached the length of her back, just as Muurtagh's own did. When it healed and scarred, she wouldn't be able to use hlf the moves that she had for hand-to-hand combat without causing herself great harm.
"Murtagh. I'm glad your safe. Please, don't run off like tht again. You worried me.," Sera said quietly as the nurse finished her work and Murtagh found a seat right beside her. "I owe the elf my life. Had it not been for her, I would've been right beside you in Helgrind."
"I know. We both owe her our lives. But don't worry about that now.," Murtagh said in a gentle, calming tone.
"How am I to rule Uru'baen? Or the Empire as a whole, Murtgh? From an infirmary bed? We'll be dead when word gets out.,"Sera whispered, worried for the safety of many.

in kylaras room there was much shouting going on. nicolae was back and he was very mad at ky. he told her she should not have gone off to rescue sera or murtahg. she could have been killed or captured or hurt like sera and then where would they be. three riders down the empire would never stand a chance. Ky argued back and as the argument got more heated the volum rose. finally the dragons interveened. after the dragons had the riders calm down nicolae stormed form the room and ky dove onto her bed and just cried. kyle tried to calm her down when Ky looked up. she remembered ot a few weeks ago when she had cured a similar wound on a friend and he was perfectly fine maybe, just maybe, she could heal sera. Ky stared at kyle and once the thoughts were transmitted he shook his head and said "no you can't the last time you did this it left you very weak.' ky starred at her dragon and said "i know that and i know that you will be there to help mem and wont let me get desperatly weak. you can help me with youre own brand of magic. you can use magic even if it is only spotaneous." kyle had to agree and once he had relented Ky ran toward him amd hugged him. then she left and went toward the infimary.

Murtagh and Sera were involved in a deep discussion about the future of the Empire. Murtagh broke off as he saw someone coming up the stairs. One more thing Sera didn't like about how the doctors had put her on lockdown. She couldn't see who or what was going up and down towards her.
"Everything alright, Kylara?,"Murtagh asked. Sera started to turn, but she hissed in pain. No twisting.

kylara kind of kicked at the ground and said 'i hate to bring up a kind of tender subject but you two remember how i cured murtagh when you hurt him sera.?" the two looked at her and could barely breath. neither had thought about how Ky was farely capable of healing greivious wounds. sera was just starring at her nad murtagh nodded remembering how she had almost healed him comepletly. there was one set back Ky couldn't heal the wound all the way but that probably wouldn't hamper sera's movement. ky looked from one rider to the other and said "i'll let you think it over for a day and you can tell me what you decide." as she left both riders shouted "wait!" ky turned and looked at both and said "have you decicded on what you want me to do?" the two riders looked at each other and nodded.

Too bad Murtagh and Sera hadn't decided on the same thing. They hadn't even spoken about it.
"Do it.," Murtagh said. At the same moment, Sera said,"Your not doing it." The pair exchanged a confused look.
"Sera, she could give you the full range of motion that you need to fight and to rule. What are you even thinking?,"Murtagh asked.
"You were still out of it right after she healed you, Murtagh. I know. I was there. I'm not going to let you almost kill yourself, Kylara. Between your illness and poisoning and everything else, you've yet to fully heal. You're not doing it.,"Sera responded with angry look at Kylara for even suggesting it.

Kylara gave both of them a little smirk and said "since when do i listen to you? last time i chacked i did pretty much whatever i want to. and where i may be weak kyle is not." the two riders just starred at her. Ky could see that wasn't going to get her the reaction from one person she wanted so she swept out of the room to let the two talk it over. as she got back to her room kyle was waitng on her. he asked her how it went and from the look she gave him he assumed not well. ky looked into his eyes and said "murtagh wants me to heal her but the little queen is being stubborn." kyle chuckled and said "doesn't that remin you of someone? like yourself maybe." Ky samcked him in the nose and lay down on her bed. in moments she wa asleep and began to dream. she saw a future where things were horrible. whoever the ruler was they didn't knnow how to rule a country. this place ws worse thanwhen galbatorix had ruled. then in her dream she was inside the palace and saw sera on a bed in the infirmiry and soemone she didn't know who was on the throne. she saw him but didn't recognize him form anywhere. ky woke up with a start and realized it was midnight and she hadn't had any dinner. quietly she krept out of her room and down to the kithcens. upon getting there the servants saw her an dasked her what she needed. Ky said "just some food. i kind of missed dinner." the serrvants nodded and soon she was back in room with a plate of dinner. Kyle asked her what she had dreamed about that had forced her awake so fast. she told him about her dream and said "since most if these things come true sera might chnage her mind."

Sera lay awake, face-down in the pillow. She didn't want Ky to cause herself any discomfort. Sera wasn't foolish enough to think that the elf would follow anything she said.
Around dusk, Sera had sent Murtagh away. Thorn was still a bit weak, and Shurikan and Gabriel also decided to join the pair. Just in case. So, the three dragon's hunted and Murtagh rested out in the fresh air. It did him good, but all three dragons agreed with Sera's position on Kylara's offer. As powerful as she was, Shurikan doubted she would survive such an outpouring of energy.
When they returned, the doctors informed Murtagh that there would b absolutly no visitors after a certain time. So he went to his room, a bit angry.
And Sera laid awake all night, uncertain.

after going back to sleep and having a comepletly rediculous dream. ky woke up and felt like she had fought a war. as she got out of bed there was a knock on her door. "come in." ky said as she pulled the nots out of her hair. surprisingly murtagh came in. he had this worried and kind of upset look on his face. Ky asked "what do you want?" Murtagh looked at the ground and said "i want you to heal sera. she deserves to get better." Ky looked at him and said "i know that what you want but the thing is that healing a wound like that is one part me and one part coroputation from who i'm healing. sera will make it very difficult on me if i try to do it." murtsgh nodded andd as he left Ky said "if she was asleep then i could heal her.'

"Am I a fool, Serenity?," Sera whispered. She as supposed to be sleeping, but Serenity had touched the young queen's mind and had seemed worried.
Only a bit. You should consider Kylara's offer. Serenity answered, more than a bit condesending. She was the only dragon who supported Ky healling Sera's back whole-heartedly.
"But...she's such a powerful elf. She'l do more good around here than I would. And I don't want her to hurt herself for me.," Sera explained for fifth time. She yawned and buried her face back in the pillow, knowing she needed sleep. She fell asleep quickly.

Ky was cursing into her pillow. kyle entered her mind and said "if you are expecting youre piloow to reply i hate to burst your bubble." Ky said "you aere not helping. i mean what else could go wrong we have a stubborn queen and twop guys who it seems there only purpose in life is to argue." kyle told her "tomorrow you should back to the in firmiry and tell seras about hyour dream and how she is needed by the empire to make sure nothing else bad happens. " Ky starred at her dragon and said "do you think i would actually do that? i was considering running away tomorrow." that pushed kyle over the edge. he roared at her nad said "tomorrow you will go back to the infimiry and tell sera everything and heal her if she is willing." Ky looked her dragon right inn the eye and said "you sound like my dad." and with that she fell asleep. kyle was still exasperated but he flew down to the makeshift stable for the dragons and go to sleep.
