how..how...HOW!

i think that he'l either be killed by galby after he finds out that he helped eragon out, or commit suicide when and if galby makes him swear in the ancient language to kill eragon.

What if he isn't killed at all? U left that option out so this really isn't a good topic. If u leave out alot of options then there is no reason that people should be voting. I don't think he will get killed, I think he lives on.

I agree with RiderNadav.
Actually he pretty much said what I think.
Like the dream, Eragon and Arya get on the boat and Murtagh is the guy on the beach. Thorn is dead and Saphira and Greenie are the ones in the sky.
I feel bad for Murtagh
I love him

i think that he gets so powerful that he tries to bring back brom since its useless to turn back to good, and kills himself in the doing.

no no no no no. murtagh will not die. he will find a loophole thru galby's vow and assist eragon and Saphira in the coming battle.

yeah! thats what i think 2. the loophole might be.......... never mind

i dont see how there can be a loophole...

not meaning to get on any ones bad side but how do you know Murtagh will die

we dont. we're just saying that IF he does, how?

I think Eragon will go 2 fight the king and lose. But when the king is about 2 kill eragon, murtauge will sacrifice himself 2 save eragon. In the kings shock, Eragon will kill the king with a method he learns from the elves after he finds out how the kings power raise each yyr.

I don't think he dies. You need an option that says he doesn't die, but I put other because I don't think he'll die.

i dnt think Murtagh will die...i think Eragon will save him in some obscure fashion, i think there is something between Murtagh n Nausada... i dnt think CP would av put in the comments in Eragon about what Murtagh says about her....n what she says about him... i still think there will b something that happens between thm

I think sucicide is a good guess.
Im kinda thinking... Eragon and Galby will have a fight in the end, Eragon will be defeated, but Murtagh will come and kill Galby himself. But then he'll be so upset he kills himself?
lol, idk. Anything can happen in this book, ANYTHING

I think Eragon kills Galby. I think that's going to be the theme for Book 3, it that it's time for Galby to die.

hmmmm.... i jus dnt think Murtagh is gonna die.... he doesnt reali deserve 2....i mean yea he's working 4 Galby but.... ahhh welll....if he dies i dn think it will bcos of suicide...amyb Arya kills him or something trying to defend Eragon...

I don't want him to die, I rather he stay evil and live in the end. Him being evil is just really cool i think.

i think eragon will have him at his mercy (once eragon is powerful) and decide to let murt go. then murt will try to kill eragon out of desperation but eragon will stop being the nice guy and kills him first

i kind of agree. i dont want him turning good because it would be kind of lame

it won't be lame it'll be.................interesting

either way...i think Eragon will get to choose wether Murtagh dies or not...... n hopefully he'll say no nd kill Galby n release Murtagh from his bonds!!!

But you can't say that Murtagh will be released from his bonds to Galb because we don't know the extent of them, and I think Murtagh will be killed saving Eragon from Galb because Galb wants him alive so there is a loop hole in the oths unless they change it and Eragon is aloud to die. But I dought that becouse Galb wants to rebuild the Riders to serve him (which he needs Saphira for). I do like Murtagh but I think he will die a very heroic death.maybe he steels the egg for Eragon who knows.

yeah those boht make snece.i never though of him stealing the egg.........

i think that he might help eragon but then is forced to try to kill eragon but in doing so murtagh gets killed instead

i think galby will kill him,or he will die defending eragon.but it would just to e to horrible if murtagh had to kill him and eragon killed him instead

you're right it will be horrible, but that's what i think will happen

He will die but the way is yet to be shown, I think he will be killed by Galb or himself, but shoot Arya could do it there are hundreds of posibilitys.

Remember Galb dosn't wan't Eragon dead because of Saphira is the last female Dragon.

i was only tryin to b positive

I know but it isn't that posible that Murtagh lives through the third book but I may be wrong which would be awesome.

I thnk he lives throughout the whole thing but turns out to be the true villian at the end after Galby dies.

or maybe he's galby and planned out the whole thing since the begining

I'm talking about Murtagh though.

so am I, I'm saying that murtagh is Galby

But how could that be? That doesn't make sense? Have you seen the Eragon movie and read the books?

it could be some spell that makes him split into two bodies and make them look completely different!!! lol just kidding... Murtagh could never be galby lol

Yeah, how would he get from place to place so quickly?

He can teleport
Just like in HP
Or Shruikan can fly at th speed of light or sumthin lol

But how could is what I wanna know?

idk i was only joking around.... Murtagh being galby makes no sense at all.... no offense to brom1

I just don't see how that could be, but Murtagh could be a villian in the end though.

Murtagh is not Galby it would make no sence and would over complicate things.

lol thats kinda what we just said about 5 times already

i hope he turns good again, thn he n Nausada mite get it on....n yea every1 will b happy n Roran will b king

I rather him be rider than king, or both but I think the people would hate another rider as king.

But he is more colified for King than a Rider, so I say he will be the next king.

I really want him to be a rider.

But it is so unlikly and Why?

Because if Arya is rider, she'll be way too powerful, she's already a elf and she has lots of powers and she is well trained in the sword so if she becomes rider her magic and her skills will skyrocket and Eragon will be left in the dust. Besides I think Roran would make a good dragonrider. He has the skill to become one.

But you forget about the VOS where Eragon is going to get ton of Power and I think only he can open it and use the souls.

But we don't know that for sure.

But what would happen at the VOS then he fights and kills Galby?

I think he gets mass amounts of power but he isn't the only one.

But who else would get it Roran because that would support your thery on him being the next rider.

Maybe they both get some,

Yes if that happens then I think Roran might be the next Rider.

Maybe he will, Arya will still be able to battle and I think Eragon and Arya's love will prosper as well.

But I think it is more possible if Arya is the rider because if she is then Saphira would mate with the Green dragon and make Eragon and Arya even closer in several ways

But I don't agree with that.

Why not it fits the situation perfectly. There are several facts pointing to Arya and less to other so why not her?

To me it doesn't. Because of the power diffrence and what it has to do with power, if it wasn't for Eragon and Arya not being together would you still want her to rider? And if you did for what reasons?

Yes I would want her to be the Rider because I think that they don't have the time to train a rider from scrach they need someone who needs only to learn the Riders secrets and to make them understand more about dragon this is the reason I think It sould be Arya or anouther Elf the relationship with Eragon is only Icing on the cake.

I don't even think he will die

I think he will die by saving Eragon and Saphira from Galby it would be a horoic death. But if he dosn't die then what happens to him?

He turns good Marries the leader of the Varden and brings everone together but the dying a knoble death thing sounds way more interesting

I don't know I didn't realy think about him Marring Nasuada that might be even more interesting.

Who are we talking about? Murtagh?

Yes that is the guy.

that's a possiblity but what if nasuada says she doesn't like hima and murty dies of a broken heart

Look on page 662 I think Nasuada realy felt sorry that Murtagh was forced to serve Galby and I think she would help him.

i think galbatorix will kill him.

well.. i never thought of that... he never talked to galby after he let eraqgon get away. Galby could go crazy on him

But remember that Galby is trying to rebuild the riders not rekill them.

but murtagh and thorn arnt as important as eragon and saphira... yet galby could judt get really pissed at him and torcher murtagh then and almost kill him lol

Galby does have a temper but I don't think he would harm Murtagh.

No like I said he is trying to rebuild the riders not kill them off again.

my point exactly!

I dont tink dat Murtagh will die

I think he will be killed by Galby when trying to save Arya or Roran or some one important.

How so? Maybe Arya since he knows her.

Arya will kill him

Well maybe so eragon can go fight Galby she sacrafices her self (not death) to allow Eragon to get by Murtagh and fight galby.

I don't know, if that happens Murtagh won't be much of a chance against her.

Not at the rate Murtagh is gaining power I think he will stand a chance.

But elves are like the strongest creature out there.

he's gonna get suffacated by a pillow lol to bad thats no way to go lol

lol that would S uck but I dobt he dies that way. I think Arya kills him.

Maybe she does, maybe she doesn't.

Princess Arya you are the hottest chick around!!

I agree she is ain't she

But I still think that Arya kills him or he kills him self.

Why would he kill himself?

If his dragon dies maybe or he sees it as the right thing to do some how.

He might die with his dragon but I don't know if he's attached.

How could he not Galby wouldent use him unless he was and in eldist it says he is.

Murtagh may die but Galby defintaly will!! he has to it wnt b fair if he doesnt.....he's ruined the lives of all the ppl in Alagaesia, Murtagh is only takin orders, he dnt reali deserve to die....+ i think he reali likes Nausada

But when he talked with Eragon in eldist Murtagh sounded like he was starting to agree with Galby and the way he tought.

I think Eragon will have to kill him to get to galbatorix.

No Arya will finish him off.

Are you gonna say that every time lol but i stand by my pillow theory lol

Who has the pillow? And why do they do that to Murtagh and not Galby? I'm so confused.
