What part do you think the last dragon will play?
When will it hatch?
Who's side will it be on?
Who will it's rider be?
If it doesn't hatch early enough I think it will be pretty useless to the Vardens side as it need to grow unless it has some sort of powerful magic which is highly unlikely. And if it hatches on Galby's side, well thats all we need, another dragon and Rider on that side.

well just summarizing what i've been writing on over 30 different topics, i don't think the dragon will play much of a role in the book, because even if the rider is Arya, she may have the training, but the dragon will still have to grow and train (cuz remember, saphira had to train with glaedr). so either the egg is going to hatch in the epilogue or it will be destroyed

yeah the egg will hatch at like the very very end. In the epiloge Eragon will be finishing the new rider's training and then he will leave for some reason.

yeah, maybe the new dragon and rider will follow him

but then who will procect the land?

murtagh and thorn (regretably that means they'll have to live...)

well maybe if they live then it could be Eragon leaving with Murtagh

no, murtagh has to stay behind...maybe he's the person yelling on the beach or whatever (though i really don't think that dream will come true, but i'm just going with it right now)

but if the egg hatched at the end there would'nt be a satisfying ending as the green dragon would be really young and you wouldnt find out what happened to him.

it's called quickstyle. you move through time very fast. there's no need to know everything about the dragon.

you have a point though. i still like books that explain what happens at the end so you have a satisfying ending. it would be neat if saphira mated with the green dragon when it grew up though.

well if it goes like i want it to, the ending won't be satisfying no matter how much about greenie we know

hmm it would might not go the way any of us want it to.cp might have a really big twist at the end of the book. if cp decides the book dosnt have a proper ending there might be a 5th book. u never know it could happen.

i hope no 5th book, cp's already delayed this enough

hey i do hope u know it can take a long time to write a book. with of brisingr being larger than the other two it would take a lot of time to complete. why dont you try writeing a book as big as brisingr? then tell us how long it took

hehe ye...currently writing a book....3 chapters in 2 days...im bad

@Arget-brisingr: yeah, i know how long it takes to write a book, which is why he should wrap this up in the 4th

it will not be arya because i think islazadi will die(ajihad:killed, hrothgar:also killed so who is still missing?) and a queen who is also rider? that would be 2 good

Unless it goes through some sort of growth spell?

it might be born to galbatorixes side....in which case he'll use the same sort of growth spells he used on thorn...
or it may already be born...in hiding with its rider

Uhh, no, it couldn't be because Galby still has it in his possession.
But yah, if it hatched to Galby's side, he could use some sort of growth spell on it.

your right crazydragongirl Arys shouldn't be the next rider if shes going to be queen

I really think it will be Roran's kid why else would CP make Katrina pregnant?

it could be in the Epilogue

@crazydragongirl: no one's opposed your theory because most people don't think it's going to be arya anymore. they think it's going to be bladesinger. i personally think that the dragon isn't that important to book 4 because even if it hatched, it couldn't find galby so young, so it's either going to be destroyed in the final battle against galby, or it will hatch in the epilogue (which i've been saying for like forever)

Exactly. Wait crazy thought what about Tenga? there has to be some reason CP put him in there.

i don't remember a tenga...where was he?

he was that old dude Eragon met while running back to the Varden. Angel's old mentor.

in which book was he? i don't remember...

Brisingr

i'll have to reread that then...i should probably reread them all


(btw, you just spammed)

where'd you hear that? the dragon rider doesn't have to be in all 3 books.

well I shall continue to think that Roran son/daughter will be the new rider

if roran's child was the rider, the egg would definitely have to hatch in the epilogue, because the child wouldn't even be able to ride it for at least 7 years, and i wouldn't even want it to hatch because i can imagine a child using too much magic...

well it could happen like 17 years later so the kid will be the same age as Eragon when Saphira hatched for him.

yeah but once again i stress epilogue. if its going to happen 17 years later, why even hatch it at all? it does nothing to story then

that's just really out there (even for my theories). skipping 17 years is just out of the question

yeah, but this is definitely not one of those books

yeah but he might decide(cp) he didnt tie everything up in book 4 which could lead to another book. cp said there would be 3 books but at the end of the 3rd he decided he had to do a 4th book because there were lose ends like eragon and saphira not killing galby or geting the last egg or rescuing the hearts.

no he actually did 4 books because it was taking too long to write it and it would just work better to split it

plus the books was getting too big...i mean you think about how big brisingr is....

hey did u guys know that each book is its previous book plus half in size??

yeah, which means book 4 will be awesomely huge

ugh can you imagion if CP kept it a trilogoy? I probably still wouldn't be done with the book.

i would be. because as it was i was reading brisingr until like 4 in the morning. lol

the only part i couldn't stand was the dwarven politics part. but this isn't really the place to be discussing this

it might not be. it could hatch to help eragon and saphira kill galbatorix. i mean if they managed to free the egg before killing galby. we can guess but most likly cp will think of somthing totaly diffrent about the green dragons role so we could get a huge suprise!

Yes, everyone says that it will help Eragon kill Galby, unless they cast lots of spells on them, a new rider and dragon hatchling aren't gonna be alot of help

yeah, because even if the rider is arya there's no way that the dragon will be trained in time to fight galby

it could be, saphira would help him train, they could find a growth spel sothe dragon would grow quickly like they did with thorn.

yeah but thats just cruel

doesn't matter. galby is pressing down on the varden and will soon have them crushed. the egg probably won't even hatch before the war's over.

yeah, and preferably in the epilogue so we don't have to read a whole bunch of crap about it

nah, cuz arya will be dead. the only thing we'll read in the epilogue is of the future of alagaesia under eragon and xxxxxx, saphira and greenie

ha, good try. no, i meant whoever becomes the rider (but not arya!)

I really hope Arya doesn't become Rider, I like it how it is already. Maybe something like the end of the LOTR will happen. Does it say the colour of the Dragons that were in Eragons dream? It might not be the green dragon at all

yeah, i favor the egg not hatching at all or at least hatching in like the last page of the book. because it really doesn't play a part in the book except as the object both sides want

Yeah, it would be better for it to hatch on the last page of the book.....
Mabe to someone special to Eragon or maybe a son/daughter of someone who died?

no she won't! lol



idk, maybe just to some random person who really doesn't matter, because the egg doesn't matter

well arya is special to eragon

well she won't be after she spits in his face. lol

She spits in his face? lol, that would be very funny
I don't think it will hatch to Arya on the last page of the book or anything because I'm bettong that she would have touched it by then and it would have been a real waste

i know, wouldn't it? that's after eragon says something stupid like, "Arya, will you marry me?"


*spit*


*Eragon cries and leaves alagaesia forever, never to return*

She already loves him!

Cmon guys remember the topic, I have already gotten in trouble about off topicness(is that a word??)

The green dragon will have a small role is one at all, he will be so young that it will make him a liability therefore less that useless.

Maby, but I am leaning toward the repopulation to come from some distant land, but yes he will have a small role unless he hatched in the prologue.

Wouldn't affect them that much, I mean you would run from a 2tonm flying lizard that breathed fire, but I would still run from a 2ton flying lizard. It says they draw thwir "magic" from the land but it dosn't specifically specify. They could draw it from any land.

green egg won't even hatch in our time, it will be a while. post-epilogue or something

Yea, having a prologue thing where the green dragon hatches then a 2 years later would REALLY suck in my opinion. And I really don't want Saphira to mate with greenie.....
Ok, this is really crazy but what if Galby got it wrong and greenie is really a girl?

That would be interesting...

But I doubt it, since the whole significance of Saphira being a girl is that she is the last female dragon.

I really don't see how the green dragon is going to have an effect on the series, unless the last book spans several years... Which wouldn't be great.

*shudders* now that would be horrible, I would be so bored just reading and thinking about it

Yeah, exactly

But one way for it to have an effect would be for it to hatch for someone wihtin the Empireso Galby could do what he did with Thorn

Then it could escxape and help Eragon insted, thats the only way around it I can think of

Yeah, that's a good idea
But wouldn't Galby make the dragon swear an oath in the AL or whatever, like he did with Thorn and Murt?

Dunno, so the green dragon should just be evil? And Eragon end up losing coz he doesn't haev enough help?

Yeah!
This is probably gonna sound wierd but that would be so cool!

It would be soo... idk, different

if that's gonna happen might as well make everyone die before the book even starts
