    Summary

    What if Eragon had captured Murtagh after the Battle of Dras Leona....

    “Swear to me now, in the Ancient Language, that you will not use magic against me, or the Varden, or any of their allies, and that you will not attempt to escape us.”
    Eragon hardened his expression, knowing that Murtagh had to believe him, or it wouldn’t work. Murtagh had to believe that Eragon was willing to kill his dragon, or he’d call his bluff.
    And was it a bluff? Even Eragon wasn’t certain. Could he stand by and let Thorn die? He didn’t know, but he didn’t want to find out either.
    “Either you swear,” Eragon panted, his voice dead and unfeeling, “Or we let Thorn die. And then perhaps I’ll be kind, and kill you as well.”
    Murtagh thrashed again, a desperate cry emanating from his throat. He was wriggling like an animal in a trap, and tears joined the blood and dirt on his face. Eragon felt each heartbeat in his own chest, fear and pain twisting together.
    "Eragon, hurry," Arya interjected in his thoughts, "Thorn is fading."

    ...After destroying the gates at Dras Leona and wounding Thorn severely, Aren has enough energy left in it to pursue Murtagh and Thorn out into the plains and take them captive.

    Summary

    HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO READ A MURTAGH POV ABOUT HIS TIME IN CAPTIVITY? THIS IS IT.

    (Essentially a detailed account of what happened to Murtagh from his capture under Farthen Dur until Galbatorix fell, framed by his new life at Mt. Argnor.)

    Murtagh struggles to adjust to life as an instructor at Mt. Argnor, despite being surrounded by good people and doing fulfilling work.

    When his erratic behavior and drinking problem get out of control, his dragon Thorn and his brother Eragon take him to see the Eldunari, who encourage him to face the horrors of his past in order to overcome his pain. With the help of Thorn and the Eldunari, he dives into the sea of memory and must wade through the hurt and torment to come out whole on the other side.

    (It’s a long, dark tunnel, but canon-compliant so there is light at the end I promise!)
