The fact of the matter seems to be that Eragon IS in love with Ayra. Will he win her? Will he be able to overcome all her objections? Will it be right for her to turn around and "do a Linnea" on us? That is yet to be seen. Somehow I do see them getting together. Besides, there's no other girl in the storyline who can compare to Ayra, or woo Eragon away from his infatuation, obssesion, and feelings towards her.

well this hardly compares however what was that lady who was with du vrenger gata(or sumthin liek that)and she was a sorceress? he liked her but he wasnt IN LOVE with hjer....but that does mean that he can love other women

that means that he can be attracted to other women, but i think that Trianna did something to him with her snake-bracelet. And i don't think that that attraction can compare with what he feels for Arya now.

lol i quoting myself here but ne ways i said that its hardly any comparison

How is Arya the only woman that Eragon can love? I say if you give her time, Nasauda could be a good enough lover for Eragon I'd say. Arya is good too, I'm just saying she isn't the only one.

umm...i don't know if you have noticed this, but Arya is PERFECT. come on: she's beautiful, exotic, smart, and a good warrior.

Maybe Eragon isn't looking for perfection? He just hasn't paid enough attention to Nasuada to really love her.

well, she hasn't shown any interest or even disinterest towards him. AND it would be wrong because she is his leigelord.

Well I guess Arya for Eragon, and Murtagh for Nasuada then.

lol anniebee...she would eb paired with a murderer with alot of ppl lol including eragon or orrin or roran or any 1 of the main charecter men right now i beilieve

it is less age and more experience. not the same thing. and it is boring that it isn't less obvious, but how it happens will be interesting!

and if you read in between the lines, u can see that they had a thing for each other.

who murtag and nasueda? or roran and naesuada...lol maybe roran NOT murtagh lol that would be like saphira + thorn

yeah, but there is always a chance AND y would CP have made it seem like they liked each other if it will never go anywhere past that piliminary thing.

WHAT?!...nasuadea SEES murtagh 1 TIME...lol she doesnt know him how are they sposed to like each other...and if ur talking about roran then yeah i said maybe lol

she says something after he is taken by the urgals. and he says something when Eragon visits him.

first of all,u called nasueada a he lol but dfont worry ive done sumthing clsoe to that b4 and 2nd she says he looks like an honest man(thats almost a quote) after ajihad imprisons him...then when he talks to him...well idk but there are NO CLUES THEY LIEK EACH OTHER lol and dont say nething about foreshadowing...that would be like her saying"i would have wanted to get to know him betetr" or sumthing along those lines...u over anylyze(no clue for spelling) details too mucha dn u dont give the facts enough credit :/

first off, the "he"s referred to Murtagh and the "she"s referred to Nasuada. She said something like she will "miss him". you don't normally miss someone who you just met. And he said something about her bearing being better than some of the ladys of Galby's court, and he went on, and on, and, on. lol. not really, but Eragon thought what i think for a second, then he just dismissed the idea.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???!!! I don't overanalize! I analize a lot, but it isn't over-ananlization! Man, you should hear my teacher ripping apart every-other paragraph from the Odyssey... AND IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!! It isn't over-analization. seriously. and i give the facts MORE credit!!! what facts are you suggesting i don't give enough credit 2???

I give plenty credit to the fact that Arya is the next rider! lol. jk.

like the fact that arya wont enojy being around eragon with just her saphira and roran BE CUZ HE SHALL HIT ON HER LOL and u over anilized her eyes too much...when cp mentions them like twice lol

NO HE WONT!!! He believes, as he said in the AL, that it won't get him anywhere. Unless he is intoxicated with magic again, he won't do anything like that. Unless she makes the first move. That would be sweet!!! lol. OR if he makes some smaller, more subtle moves on her. the other ones were blatently stupid, but I don't blame him. he was intoxcated! lol. hmm... intoxicated plus beautiful woman... what would you do?

and the thing about the eyes, as i said b4, they are the only eyes other than Durza's and the dragons' that are mentioned extensively, hinting at their importance and some hidden meaning.

in a good book, the hero has to get the girl. CP made it more interesting by making the girl not such a damsel-in-distress and made her not love him, so it's making me want it to happen even MORE. lol. that is basically it.

THANK YOU FOR ADMITTING IT!!! lol. that had better not been sarcasm... or else I'm gonna get all

I CAN'T WAIT!!! ME NEED BOOK!!!!!!! lol. that is a great way to put it, but yield? i dunno if that is the best word, cuz i get images other than what i think ur talking about...

Geeze, I guess having learned English as a second language as a requirement at the Department of Education at home, was not a bad idea at all. At least we surely picked up a lot of vocabulary. FYI yield has different meanings. It will depend on the context in which it is used. In this case it means and I cite from the Merriam-Webster Online dictionary:


yield:to surrender or relinquish to the physical control of another : hand over possession of
to surrender or submit (oneself) to another
to give (oneself) up to an inclination, temptation, or habit

English lesson over!!! So eventually Ayra will yield to Eragon's amorous advances! (repetition!!!)

lol i think Anniebee won that one..
neways i think that yeah, Eragon and Arya have to get together..though I don't think it'll be until AFTER Galby is dead because I think Arya has made it pretty clear, and elves generally stick to their decisions..besides she told him that in the ancient language..

yield: to surrender or relinquish to the physical control of another

that is what i was talking about....

Arya said that and she believed it, but that can easily change.

She could change if she would just show some sort of feelings toward Eragon.

elves don't just change for no reason. u know that. and nothing WILL change, unless she becomes the next rider. really. what is going to change other than that? NOTHING!

As the end of Eldest, I perceived some change in Ayra, but then this is women's intution! We know when there's a shift in feelings.

The way IMNC puts it, it sounds so cold and calculated, as if Ayra had no other choice or saying in the matter! It's like elves do not do anything if there is nothing in it for them. It's defintely not a trait I see in Ayra.

hey! i never said that. and she kinda does have a choice, but she hasn't let herself take that otehr choice and hasn't even thought about it. She has blinded herself from the other choices.

Oh I disagree, you made it loud and clear here. NOTHING will change her mind unless she becomes a Rider and those were your word. You are contradicting yourself!

i don't see why he won't, but Ayra may die, we don't know, we'll have to wait and see...

that doesn't explain y u said i said this: "it sounds so cold and calculated, as if Ayra had no other choice or saying in the matter!"

i never said that she DOESN'T have choice. and i never said that it sounds so cold and calculated.

she may not die, she may die, with the way CP put the book, i have a feeling that Eragon will lose some more loved ones/good friends, Garrow and Brom died in Eragon, Ajihad died in Eldest, they were all loved ones/good friends.

I'm pretty sure that she is the woman in the dream. i doubt she will die.

she IS the woman in the dream, don't you remember? when he found her, the appearance was the same as the woman in the dream, he only had to remove the shadows, and it matched, she still might die, she may follow him to Galbatorix, and help kill him, but she dies by his blade

yeah. they are getting on the boat to leave Alagaesia BEFORE they defeat Galby. sure they are...

when Eragon kills Galbatorix, she may die by Galbatorix, she may not be able to do anything after it, it'll crush Eragon, and Galbatorix will crush Eragon

then how is she leaving Alagaesia with Eragon???

BEFORE they defeat Galbatorix, you said it yourself as you see in the quote

that was pure sarcasm. note the rolling eyes.

so she's getting on the boat AFTER killing Galbatorix? how do you know that? book 3 hasn't even come out yet

because otherwise they wouldn't be leaving. he's leaving FOREVER, so he can't go and come back.

how will he kill Galbatorix then?

that is irrelevant to the topic.

lol. i dont think she is "playing".

lol. i dont remember where and when... was it in this or another topic?

Another topic about what?

Sry IMNC ive got to say that eragon will get together with arya, i no she said that she dident like him in the AL but oromis{sry bout the spell} said that he was sure she was quiet fond of him. and she could have been thinking about somthing eles when she said she did not like him.plus since she dident say "i will not like you forever" so here opinon could change.

um dude.... that's what i think....

Yeah, I hate IMNC's idea, but it is his idea. How on earth could you mess that up?

I like his idea and I'm hoping eventually it will happen.

did he say that about her? All i rember is Oromis saying if she likes Eragon, she would not encourage him.

i think that she loves him, only DEEP down

yeah... that's sad... poor Eragon...

I just can't believe that in all Alagaesia, Eragon fell for her. Why not an elf decades younger & living in Ellesmera???

yeah, he could have at least found someone his age...

i hope she ends up loving him, it would make a little sense...

i sure would be one of 'em and i'd have a pitchfork with me

yeah... i wish the book would come out faster!!

If you look at it, there is a paralell between Saphiura and Eragon: Saphira wants Glaedr to be her mate, (as she thinks there arew no more dragons) And Eragon wants to wooo Ayra as she is the first elf he meets and rescues... :roll:

hmm... true... i still think that it's POSSIBLE that Ayra gives in to the fact that she loves Eragon...

ive said it once and ill say it again, eragon+arya=yuck! i really, really,really,really,really,really hope they dont end up together!!!! and if they do end up together eragon will regret it in the future, when he meets another pretty elf woman that is his age.....

everyones saying cp will have a angry mob outside his house if they dont end up together, but if they do end up together, cp is going to have an angry curious_liv outside his house!

and on the last note......please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please no

if you think that, it's your opinion, ours is Ayra and Eragon together

true, but i tend to be sure that i don't offend the mods, i don't want that..

uhuh i really wanna read the book, see what happens!

lol. how has thinking it's not right ever stopped anyone with strong enough feelings?!

i don't think that's me... is it?

not with strong enough feelings and a little push!

yeah, thats right, but 100 year old elf and a 16/17 year old half human?

yeah, but that is concrete guageing when love is so abstract.

true... but that isn't very cool sounding...

Alright...if that's what you guys believe. I'm 13...why don't I go out with an 80 year old. It wont be weird at all.

for human to human relations, you would be right, but we are talking about a rider and an elf here! both immortal. all of the same principals don't apply.

They live as long as each other. It wouldn't matter if he was just a human. But sense they have the same life span, it does matter.

that wouldn't work out very well, if anything, it wouldn't work at all

ok lets analyze this.....

ok lets say elfs live to 1000

and humans live to 100

ok so eragon is 16/17 and arya is 100

ok so 1000 divided by 100 is 10

ok so elfs liev 10 times longer than humans...so ima take eragons age and times it by 10

165(cuz his age is about 16.5) and arya is an elf and shes 100....lol HOWEVER! eragon is a rider

so he'll live to be 1000...so in the end

arya would die first...unless 1 doesnt die of old age (arya)(my opinion lol)so idk

age matters to arya and not to eragon...

How do you KNOW that age matters to Arya. HEY! Maybe her hesitation with Eragon at the end of Eldest is 1. cuz she's hiding her feelings and 2. cuz she doesn't think she should have them in the first place.

it matters to her, why wouldn't it? that's the entire reason she won't admit the fact she love him

no it isn't. Remember what Oromis said. she can't distract Eragon from his training.

Well as I understood the whole situation, age and experience does matter to Ayra. This is why I have always sustained she is a very honorable and realistic character. Ayra personallypointed out the age difference and the experience issue to Eragon (both times under the Menoa tree), Saphira said it to Eragon and even Oromis told Eragon. Eragon is just being kind of pig-headed and not wanting to accept they are not a well matched couple.:roll:

Point!

If you say the age difference doesn't matter,

your calling Orik wring.

Those elves on the boat wrong.

Orromis wrong.

Arya wrong.

And most of all, Saphira wrong.

And if you think Saphira to be wrong, you have my pitty.

2 Annie: possibally, she was just amking excuses that were less aquard then saying "i cant even if i did loved you because of your training would be disrupted". she doesn't want to get his hopes up, which would also disrupt his training. I agree that she feels that it matters somewhat, but if she loves him, she loves him, and with the right push at the right time, that won't matter.

2 shadowagent: THAT MADE ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE AT ALL!!! LOL. CAN YOU EXPLAIN???

whoops... caps lock...

Every last person Eragon talked to about his feelings for Arya, said the age difference was to great.

Nah. Orik was drunk, so he didn't say anything. lol.

I just basicaly looked at the parts where Eragon was all awkward around Arya as a comic relief.

lol. those were some of the more stressful parts for me, cuz Eragon was such an idiot!

I reimagined the part where he tried to keep the picture of Arya away from everyone. That was gold.
