Christopher Paolini Quote

Besides, she said, there was always a chance I escape.He snorted. And dragons might start eating grass.Even so, I had to try.I understand. If I could have, I would have done the same when the Twins first brought me here.And now?I still can’t, and even if I could, what purpose would it serve?To that, she had no answer. Silence followed, and then she said, Murtagh, if it’s not possible to free me from here, then I want your promise that you’ll help me escape by…other means. I wouldn’t ask…I wouldn’t place this burden upon you, but your assistance would make the task easier, and I may not have the opportunity to do it myself. His lips grew thin and hard as she spoke, but he did not interrupt. Whatever happens, I won’t allow myself to become a plaything for Galbatorix to order about as he will. I’ll do anything, anything at all to avoid that fate. Can you understand that?His chin dipped in a short nod.Then do I have your word?He looked down and clenched his fists, his breathing ragged. You do.
