I wasn't sure where to put this thought so i just put it here. I've noticed a few possible contradictions between the first two books. Brom tells eragon that the name of the first dragon is bidaum but in ellesmera islanzadi says that the first eragon's dragons name cannot be spoken in this or anyother language. Also in eldest oromis says that when a dragon or rider dies the other usually dies but i think that brom says that when a rider dies so does his dragon.

i read somewhere that the fact that biduam was whiteand the other dragon was just coincidence and that they were different and that it is true that when a rider dies his dragon dies as well but if the dragon dies the rider will still live but they will feel that a part of hia mind has died and cause them to go mad witch leads to his death
i'm not sure about about any of this and it may just be wrong

like I said they are different.

Yes, they are different, and the fact of when one dies the other dies is not a contradiction, is has to do with the strength of the bond and the ability of separation

Eragon never really met a god.....that whole dwarven thing wasn't a meeting with a god, it's made to look that way......

yeah, he obviously forgot to make a note about that, and his editors obviously didn't catch that

yeah, i think i even missed that one

i guess not. lol i've only read eragon like 5 times, eldest 3 times, and brisingr 1 time....kinda sad really considering how much i talk about them. lol

she listens to them. lol i'll probably never read eragon again after reading brisingr, because going back to eragon and having to read about him with no skill is really annoying

Well, CP did write these books but I don't think we should think he knows all three books off by heart

Yea CP obviously cannot remember small details like those....If i were him i would join one of theses forums and see what other people have to say about me

would you guys remember every single thing you wrote a few years ago? 400+ pages?
i don't think so xD

yea not only that there are like a bazillion things that are similiar betweent he two story lines

ERagon and arya = Aragorn and Arwen for example

you forgot idiot. terrible idiot. and the only reason he's alive is cuz of saphira

don't forget Murtagh. he saved Eragon loads of times.

only in eragon though (when eragon was really an idiot)

and in Eldest Murtagh sparred Eragon's life.

well yeah, i forgot about that

maybe it should....lol jk. only magical coins do (sorry, reference to my old book)

that would be weird if some magical coin just popped up in the story. lol

I would just be like wow what is going on lol

And yes murtagh is a much mature man. He had lived on his own for a long time and learned to protect himself. Murtagh is tha man.

And yes but soon Eragon will be older and wiser like Aragon was

yeah, only to be recaptured again

But he had been living on his own for awhile

not too long though. lol

before galby called for him on his eighteenth birthday he was on his own

yeah, and shortly after that he met up with eragon

no i mean before he left

well now i'm confused...lol

before he let galby he was on his own lol

but he was under galby

yeah, he's used to at least having a travelling partner

well technically he was "on his own" (as in without a "father" figure) when he was travelling with eragon, but he wasn't exactly on his own.

no, not really a long time then

Just cause he was with someone doesn't mean he wasn't on his own

that's kind of an oximoron contradicatroy statement. lol

so when someone moves out of the house at 18 and move into an apartment with a roommate they are not on their own

i wasn't name calling

LOL!!! You gave me some of my own medicine, SJ!!! Sorry for that!

Haadont worry SJ i knew you weren't calling me anything.

But annie it is the case his parents were dead. He had no family. He was on his own. He had to mature to continue his life.

Honey? lol

But he is more mature because he has never had a family. His father was a monster. He had to mature form the moment he was born. Then he was alone. Having servants doesn't help you not be alone. He was alone

i forget, but why does it matter if murtagh's been "alone" most of his life? i forgot what the point of this is. lol

LOL!!! I love how you keep trying to turn this around to suit your perception, LR! It's amusing!

I did mention Murtagh was a lot more mature than Eragon due to his upbringing.

Saying he had to mature since the moment he was born is a bit of an "overstatement."

Idk if it's my perception or not, but to be "alone" is not the same as being "lonely."

This is so because, I live "alone," but I am not "lonely."

SJ, it all came up because LR posted that Murtagh had been "on his own for a while." And I am refuting his claim on how "long" that while, time wise, was. Does it make sense?

but it's not hard to be more mature than eragon. i mean, he's eragon after all

yeah, which is good, as long as arya still stays wary of him

Well he is being more mature about liking her, but it shows he really does love her

no, it just shows that saphira has finally knocked some sense into him

Yea not really she has mostly laid off the topic o arya lol

that's pretty true. but i also think eragon gained some sense after some of the eldest incidents

Well yea he had to he isnt so retarded as to continue to sabatoge the relationship

well yeah he is, but he's got a little bit of self-control

yeah, but those are short-term pills, i see him screwing it up a lot in book 4

He isnt a hormonal human!

your right hes a hormonal hybrid

it would be cp's for not making the pills long-term

h isnt hormonal!

then what is he!?

in love!

spam again. lol



but anyway, he isn't in love, he has a crush (hence the drooling over her). and he needs to get over it

can you just get back on topic
