Eragon (#3)

"Eragon reached for his power, but the robed man said in a sharp, dangerous voice, 'Stop! If you use magic, I'll kill your lovely friend here, who was so kind as to mention you're a Rider.  Don't think I know if you're drawing upon it.  You can't hide anything from me.' Eragon tried to speak, but the man snarled and press the dagger harder against Murtagh's throat.  'None of theat! If you say or do anything I don't tell you to he will die.  Now, everyone inside.' He backed into the tunnel, pulling Murtagh with him and keeping his eyes on Eragon." (377).

I know this do works for the good guys, but I can't stop thinking that something is wrong with him.  He just doesn't seem that trustworthy.  Especially after his physical description, action, and the fact that he is a twin with a brother that is exactly like him.  Later you find out he has some authority and power in the Varden and that worries me.  I can just tell right now that either they will both turn on the Varden later or cause serious problems for Eragon, if not both.  This is another example of the authors use of foreshadowing, I believe.  That still remains to be determined but I'm pretty sure my assumptions are correct. guess i will just have to wait and find out.
