Getting the last dragon egg: as we all know thus far Galbatorix has the last egg. How will that egg get to the Varden if in fact the new rider is on the Vardens side? The only way I can come up with is that Murtagh is able to change his personality enough for his true name to change thus breaking the spell he is under with Galbatorix. He then leaves with the last egg and goes to the Varden. Possible complications: It is said in one of the books that Galbatorix is able to sense when the riders under his control have reached a point that their true names change. (I tend to keep in mind that Murtagh really had no choice but to join Galbatorix's side due to Galbatorix forcing him to with the AL) Positive outcomes: New Varden rider from new egg, second experienced rider with fighting ablilities Eragon and Murtagh making it possible 3 good riders agianst one bad rider.

If this occurs Murtagh then leaves Galbatorix's control with the egg and some of the HoH and goes to the Varden. Arya is the only logical next rider that I can come up with. This point of view is because she has the elves streangth(sp), wisdom and experience. Possible complications: The new dragon so young. May be cercumvented by Murtagh though as his Thorn grew so fast somehow and he may beable to do so with the new dragon.

The HoH can then be distributed between the three good riders making them each stronger.

By all means I certianly do NOT mean Gleadrs HoH that is Eragons I ment the ones that Murtagh may take from Glabatorix to be divided between the Good riders

The problem is your misunderstanding of how galby has likely formed his oaths. First he learned Murtagh's true name then used this to make Murtagh promise things in the ancient language. (Eragon does a similar thing with Sloan). This means that contrary to what you, Murtagh and everyone else thinks even if Murtagh's true name changes he still cannot join the varden as his promises in the Al will still prevent him...

How stupid do you think Galby is?

I always kind of figured once his true named changed all promises even in the AL would be nul and void. I am reading Eldest as of now so once I get to the part with Murtagh I may have to change my theorys. I will keep you all updated

wait wasnt their a thought of Eragon's that if Sloan changed his true name then he would be able to leave Ellismeria (sp) and Du Weldvarden dispite the AL limitation? Maybe that is why I thought that Murtagh would beable to curcumvent the AL promises to Galbatorix. Once I read the rest of Eldest and reread Brisinger I will know and post about it

If that's true, then it can't be Arya! :3 Arya isn't New, unexpected or inexperienced, which makes me happy because I hate Arya ^^;;

from those categories, I think it could be:...
- Roran (Unexpected, inexperinced, talented.)
- Elva (Unexpected, new, inexperienced, talented)
- Katrina (Unexpected, new, inexperienced,)

my theory for last rider is ;
Roran will be the last rider be couse last egg is green and rhunon elda said that she will never do a rider's sword and there is just one green rider's sword named tamerlein. This sword can be used for breach and roran's fighting style is more likely to use breach and last theory roran can do everything to protect his lover and friends

I still think that the new rider will be Arya, for many reasons.

1.) For all of the obvious reasons (her strength, skill ect.)

2.) Her magic is the same color as the new dragon egg. It said that when Arya broke the Star Rose to save Eragon from Durza, her palm was glowing with green magic. And when Eragon uses magic (like fire) it is Blue, just like Saphira.

I believe that Murtag will change his name and fight next to Eragon OR Eragon will kill Garbatorix with the help of some HoHs and then Murtag will be free from the Galbatorix's spell.
About the last egg now... I thing that the only possible answers are or Arya or Roran!!!!!
I thing Eragon and Arya will be together (I don't thing that they will marry cause Arya don't like that human's activity)

We may need to trust expectations this time as we already expected brom to be eragon's father so CP migt go for the obvious choice, Arya.

Arya is the obvious choice. My question is who else is there for Eragon to marry besides Arya?

Then there is the question. Will Eragon marry? I also point out as consoleds did that ELVES DON'T MARRY.

Okay not marry mate with. It is possible that Eragon won't marry but I doubt that he and Arya wouldn't get together.
