i think the real question is where is eragon gonna go when he does leave?

Maybe to other country, if you consider that Alagaesia is a country... And it's possible that he finds another race, like the elfs... Because one of the books says that the elfs didn't live in Alagaesia from the begining. The book says that the elfs arrived in Alagaesia, so you can think that they arrived of another place like another country. And if it's true, and if is true that there are other elfs outside of Alagaesia, we can think that Eragon could find these elfs. And this is the "help'' that i mentioned in past posts.

once again, i doubt finding "help" would be able to fit in the last book so i think that is out of the question, and why would other elves help them anyway?

yea i think nasuada would pimp slap him if he tried to leave again

I agree with Vrail, too. But I said it, because the angela's predictions. It's just a hypothesis.

i believe her predictions are set in stone, becuase in the first book it says she uses magic to read his future, so i think its pretty certian

didnt it say somewhere in the book that she might have read some of the bones wrong? so she could have gotten it completely wrong...

where did it say she might be wrong

wasnt it right after she predicted it? she said that it was so jumbled that she might have misread the knuckle bones... right?

no.... i dont believe that was ever mentioned

then i'll need to refresh my memory by rereading my book... excuse me.

Look closely at this bone. You can see how its end rests on that of the sailing ship. That is impossible to misunderstand. Your fate will be to leave this land forever. Where you will end up I know not but you will never again stand in Alagaësia. This is inescapable. It will come to pass even if you try to avoid it.
I don't know about you guys, but to me it seems that CP really has made it clear that Eragon will leave and never return.

Why do I think that? Well... It was the part: This is inescapable. It will come to pass even if you try to avoid it. that convinced me.

And then of course there was the dream where eragon saw two people bording a ship (LoTR) with two dragons in the sky. You don't need to be a genius to understand that it will be Arya and Eragon.

Do I need to say more?
//Robin

Yes, it could. Unlikely but possible. But that is not the point.
CP has made it quite clear in Angelas Prophecy that Eragon won't return.

[quote="xwon3"]
Just because Eragon has to go and there is anther dragon in the sky that doesn't mean that the dragon is Arya's, or greenie. For all we know it could be Shrukien( spelled wrong).quote]
There is the thing! It could be Shurikan, yes. It could even be a dragon we don't know about. Technically it could be a pink dragon with a gnome as his rider.

But don't I think so because I choose the logic choice.
Eragon will leave for ever together with Arya. + the dragons of course.
//Robin

Did it necessarily say it was a women? I just read over the book and thought that it said someone with long hair...oh well.

He watched as a group of people on proud horses approached a lonely river. Many had silver hair and carried tall lances. A strange, fair ship waited for them, shining under a bright moon. The figures slowly boarded the vessel; two of them, taller than the rest walked arm and arm. Their faces were obscured by cowls, but he could tell that one was a woman. They stood on the deck of the ship and faced the shore. A man stood on the pebble beach, the only one who had not boarded the ship. He threw back his head and let out a long, aching cry. As it faded, the ship glided down the river, without a breeze or oars, out in the flat, empty land. The vision clouded, but just before it disappeared, Eragon glimpsed two dragons in the sky.

Meaning that he is leaving with a woman.
//Robin

Which book is that in? Eragon or Eldest?

No. It was on his way back to Carvahall when Uncle Garrow was injured.


Don't trust old theories. CP has said much new info since two years ago.
And CP is a verry predictable Author. That is a copy drom LOTR.
Trust me on this one. It will be Eragon leaving with Arya.


All elves are tall and so is Eragon after the Agaetí Blödhren.
But Fäolin is dead and there is no reason for CP to bring him back.
And seeing what kind of author CP is, it is very obvious that AxE will happen.


Obviously after galby is dead. CP has probaly copied lotr agian when it comes to the elves. The elves are leaving as we saw in the dream. And Eragon alongside Arya with them.
It's simple logic.
But I agree. I think that it will be Roran on the shore
//Robin

I have to admit that CP is a pretty strait-forward writer, so it's almost definite that it's Eragon leaving with Arya.

as i said in another post, dont assume, authors like to troll

There is a different between liking and actually be able to dot it.
CP won't kill Arya. There is alredy to much in the books pointing towards that Eragon and Arya will be leaving Alagesia in the end. And CP is not the best author. That he will keep Arya alive is rather obvious.

In this type of thing you can basically pedict what's going to happen. Murty will die, eragon will kill galby, earagon and arya will get together, everyone will be happy, balablablablabla.
Oh if only sj were here to give a host of refreshingly crazy ideas...

Isn't it just wonderfull?
Frankly I don't care so much about the plot. I only care for the AxE

Well. I do care about my theroies as well, but I don't have to think about it so much. That Arya will be the next rider and end up with Eragon is more than obvious. SO that is why I'm spending more time caring about the AxE.
You know like when they will get together and how. And if CP will make it good or blow it up for an exampel.

//Robin

At this point the epilogue will probably be the most interesting part of the book (All though finally meeting Galby could be pretty cool).

You can see how Galby looks like in Eragons guide in Alagesia.
(If I don't remember wrong)

//Robin

Oh really? That's cool.
I hope Shruikan doesn't die.
The meeting with Galby would definitely be one one of the main highlights of book 4.

It would be sad for me.
I don't want any un-evil dragon to die.

I also prefer that Shurikan survives, but sadly I'm quite sure that he will die. "/

//Robin

That does seem the most likely end for him. I do hope that he dies free of Galby's clutches though.

As do I. Shurikan deserved a better life "/

With his original rider. Shruikan's story is truly sad.

how will he end up with his original rider?

He wont. Shurikans original rider was killed when he hatched.
Sadly Shurikan will die alone in that way. But he migh see his rider in the void How knows

I was just saying that he should have had a life with his original rider which is sadly impossible.

oh, ok... i guess i just misunderstood you!

That's fine. I'm usually misunderstood.

Hiya i'm new but a die hard fan of the inheritance "cycle" i'd just like to throw something out there and was wondering in angela's prediction she mentions that eragon will marry into royal blood and although the immediate thought seems to be arya i think this is wrong and instead leaves with the last remaining choice, nasuada of the varden (although not strictly from royal lineage but i think we can take it that the varden win and the empire falls and think that nasuada will become queen of algaesia).
anyway i'm just throwing that out there let me know if you think it makes sense
also when is he going to finish the last book!

I was thinking about the Angela's prediction and I created a theory: When Angela said, that Eragon would leave the Alagaesia and that he would not come back, she didn't say WHEN it is going to happen (after or before kill Galbatorix). Therefore I presume that he'll leave the Alagaesia just when Galbatorix die.

But why would he leave right when Galby dies? Won't he be the one killing Galby?

Maybe not. It wasn't in the predictions and remember when Arya and Eragon sparred and then had a conversation in book one, didn't she say that she had the right to defeat him or that she had a right to defeat Durza?

It was the Durza one.
There isn't much room to say that Eragon may not be the one killing Galby. CP isn't the kind of guy to not have the 'hero' deal the final blow. It is the obvious way and therefore probably the one that will be used.

Hey new guy! welcome to SF!!

Honestly, I hope that it will be Arya, but honestly, I think it won't be anyone. Nasuada might be inthe mix somewhere, but he's not really interested in her. also that witch from the Du Vangr Gata... need I say more?

I would love it to be arya as well and it would solve a lot especially if Arya became the last dragon rider however she has never shown the slightest romantic reaction towards Eragon and seems adamant to keep it at that despite all of Eragon's advances. She almost talks to him, at times, as if she considers him immature which is partially understandable due to his new found power and relatively young age however i feel if she did have feelings for arya then CP would have tried to incorporate them more into his books.

maybe that will be the next part of the last book, but he will have to leave eventually, based on angela's prediction, so maybe he will leave with arya and the new dragon with saphira.

Okey.....

Eragon has said that he never will take a mortal woman! Nasuada is mortal, so that rules her out.
And no! She won't be the next rider. Here is why.

What CP has said
1. CP has said that the rider will be "logic inevitability"
2. CP also mentioned that he hopes it will be a surprise.
At the time, the book we know now as Brisingr was supposed to be the final book of the series. Paolini decided to separate that book in two. Before Brisingr came most people didn’t though that it would be Arya. It was Roran. But after Brisingr was released, people have considered Arya much more likely, not just because of the events that took place in the book itself but Paolini's explanations of some of those certain scenes since then.
3. The rider has to have been in all three books so far.
4. CP has said that there is clues in the books about who the next rider is.
And the only thing that can count as clues for any character is the constant referring Arya with the colour Green. (the colour that the egg has)
5. CP has said that book four continues the adventures of Eragon, Saphira and Arya.
He didn’t just said Eragon and Saphira. He also said Arya. Take it for what you want.

Nasuada fails in being logic inevitability since she is way to weak to help as a rider. All humans would be to weak. Her job is to leading Varden. And then they are also at war. We don't have time for a nother Eldest book to train the new rider. And here comes the good part. CP has said that Arya was special traind by Oromis for many years. She is alredy exelent with boths sword and magic. Even better than Eragon in magic. And she has flying experience.

For the ones who want to ignore the fact that nasuada can't be the next rider here is more.

Eragon only loves Arya and his feelings for her has only developed. As for Arya it is obvious that she has feelings for him above just friendship. Take a look at all this.

Arya looked at him. Eragon met her gaze, and something lurched within him. He flushed without knowing why, feeling a sudden connection with her, a sense that she understood him better than anyone other than Saphira. His reaction confused him, for no one had affected him in that manner before.

Throughout the rest of the day, all Eragon had to do was think back on that moment to make himself smile and set his insides churning with a mixture of odd sensations he could not identify.
---------------------------
"An ache formed in his chest as he listened to the gentle rise and fall of Arya's breathing. It tormented him to be so close and yet be unable to approach her."
---------------------------
"Well, be that as it may, these are reasons you give me, Eragon, and the heart rarely listens to reason. Do you fancy her or not?"
If he fancied her any more, Saphira said to both Eragon and Roran, I'd be trying to kiss Arya myself.
---------------------------
"With a sigh of impatience, she tapped her bodice. "A dress is somewhat breezier than a pair of leggings, Eragon."
---------------------------
You should tend to that before we set forth." She gave him no time to respond but grasped his paralyzed fingers and said, "Waise heill." An involuntary groan escaped him as his fingers popped back into their sockes, and his abraded tendons and crushed cartilage regained the fullness of their proper shapes, and as the flaps of skin hanging from his knuckles again covered the raw flesh below.
"Thank you," he said. It surprised him that she had taken the initiative when he was perfectly capable of healing his own wounds. Arya seemed embarrassed. Looking away, out over the plains, she said, "I am glad you were by my side today, Eragon."
"And you by mine."
She favored him with a quick, uncertain smile. They lingered on the hillock for another minute, neither of them eager to resume their journey.
---------------------------
She gave him a wan smile. "And then you came, Eragon. You and Saphira. After hope had deserted me and I was about to be taken to Galbatorix in Uru'baen, a Rider appeared to rescue me. A Rider and dragon!"
---------------------------
"Reaching out, Eragon placed his right hand over her left. "The stories about the heroes of old never mention that this is the price you pay when you grapple with the monsters of the dark and the monsters of the mind. Keep thinking about the gardens of Tialdari Hall, and I'm sure you will be fine." Arya permitted the contact between them to endure for almost a minute, a time not of heat or passion for Eragon, but rather of quiet companionship.
---------------------------
He cherished her trust more than anything besides his bond with Saphira and he would sooner march into battle than endanger it."
---------------------------
"Satisfied with what he had wrought, he handed the lily to Arya. "It's not a white rose but..." He smiled and shrugged. "You should not have," she said. "But I am glad you did." She caressed the underside of the blossom and lifted it to smell. The lines on her face eased. For several minutes, she admired the lily."
---------------------------
"She spoke to Arya with the same tone of affection that, until then, she had reserved for Eragon, as if she now considered Arua part of their small family and worthy of the same regard and intimacy as they shared."
---------------------------
"Walking over to Saphira, Arya placed a hand on Eragon's left leg and looked up at him with her slanted green eyes. "Accept this from me, Shur'tugal," she said. And he felt a surge of energy flow into him.
"Eka elrun ono," he murmured to her.
Also in the ancient language, she said, "Be careful, Eragon. I would not want to see you broken by Murtagh. I..." It seemed as if she were going to say more, but she hesitated, then removed her hand from his leg and retreated to stand by Blödhgarm."
---------------------------
"You should not abandon your guards so lightly," Arya murmured in Eragon's left ear. She wrapped her sword arm around his waist and held him tightly as Saphira wheeled above the courtyard."
---------------------------
"Better?" he asked as the spell finished its work.
"Better," Arya whispered, and favored him with a weak smile."
---------------------------
"Arya staggered as if she had been hit. "Ah," she said. She gripped the back of the chair so hard, her knuckles turned white. Tears filled her slanted eyes, then spilled over onto her cheeks and coursed down her face. "Eragon." She reached out and grasped his shoulder, and almost by accident, he found himself holding her in his arms."

And for you who says that it won't happend because Arya rejected him two times in Eldest, let me remind you that Eragon was an imature jerk who only lusted after her back then. In my eyes Arya even was to kind to him. And if you think that Eragon has given up on her:

Brisingr page 146 [English version]
"while Eragon refused to accept that his suit was hopeless, he could not think of how to proceed."


And if that isn't enogh here is CP confirming the AxE!

CP: And one of the nice things about their (Roran and Katrina's) relationship is when the series begins and when we first start seeing scenes from Roran's point of view in Eldest, he's already courted Katrina, he's already won Katrina and we don't need to see them going through that. They already have a relationship. Of course when he rescues her then in this book (Brisingr), it's just sort of a confirmation of what they both already knew. So I get to show a kind of different relationship with them then exists between say, Eragon and Arya, who are just sort of dancing around each other.

Moving on.....

We have seen both Eragon and Nasuada POVs. And neither of them has thought anything at all for the other above friendship. We do know that Eragon loves Arya and that they is closer than ever.
We do know that Nasuada is thinking of marry Orrin but only her courage has faild her so far.

And then there is Saphira. Arys is the ONLY one Saphira has accepted into their family.
Their family is Saphira, Eragon and Arya. Just as CP said.

And CP is puting Arya and Eragon on an even footing for a reason.
CP even created a shade and killed it after 5 pages only so they could have the same title.....
And they alredy share a special connection.

Then there is Angelas Prophecy ^^

An epic romance is in your future, extraordinary, as the moon indicates - for that is the magical symbol - strong enough to outlast empires. I cannot say if this passion will end happily, but your love is of noble birth and heritage. She is powerful, wise, and beautiful beyond compare.
When Eragon maid the fairth of Arya in Eldest he mad alomst an exact copy of the prophecy while describing her.

Nasuada is NOT of noble birth and heritage. She is only the leader of a very large group of rebels.

Since Eragon alredy has said that Arya is the most beautiful woman he ever has seen, Nasuada can't take her place in that matter. How can nasuada be beautiful beyond compare when he thinkst that Arya is more beautifull? Epic fail.
And Eragon said that after he met Nasuada. Eragon knows that Nasuada excist but for him Arya is the most beautiful woman ever.

How would NxE be an epic romance?
He knows nothing about her and he knows nothing about him.
Nasuada lives for the Varden and Eragon loves Arya.

Eragon and Arya alredy has a bound/conection he never can have with any other woman. They compleat eacothers. They know eacother better than Nasuada and Eragon can even hope for. Their is nothing epic with NxE. The only feeling there is there is me feeling sick and a need to vomit.

Moving on...

And besides why would CP transform Eragon into an half elf if he wanted Eragon to end up with a weak human? The difference is to big. Eragon would always be pointed out as different due to his look and life stile. CP could just had taken away the scar and find a nother way to make Eragon stronger. But he didn't. He made Eragon an half elf/hybrid. And that was only one of the many things he has been doing to put Arya and Eragon on an even footing. And there is a reason behind it.

Nasuada and Eragons only time together outside the politics, was something that CP never bother to describe. And Eragon comapred his time with Nasuada with his relationship with aunt Marrian.
Some time huh? [sarcasm]


Does any one understnads how ridiculous this sounds?
Eragon will sudenly stop loved Arya after that CP has spent two books on developing their relationship, made them closer than ever, is puting them on an eveing footing, shown that Arya has feeling above friendship and that they have a special conection only so eragon from no where would fall in love with Nasuada based on noting in the middle of book IV even tho Nasuada is mortal and Eragon clearly said that he NEVER would take a mortal woman.
Becuase that is what it is. The most ridiculous chain reaction in the history of the world.

Summarized.
Eragon and Nasuada will NOT happen.
Arya and Erago will on the other hand.

And please do note that every thing said here is pure fact and that there is no intentions to bash on any one. I juts simply stated the facts we are given and my opinion.

//The Librarian

Honestly, I think that he will leave once he restores order into the land. I mean, she didn't say that he would leave soon, but it is inevitable. it could be well into the future.

so, once Galby is dead and a new ruler is in place and there is peace, you think he'll just leave?

i think he'll leave to follow Arya because [i]she[/i is leaving....

Which is the most likely thing. Or it could be because of the Menoa tree who has a hatred for dragons. If it got into its head to banish Saphira then Eragon would have to leave an it might be Arya leaving because of him.

what I'm worried about is if he leaves to follow Arya, will Saphira approve? or try to stop him?

She may disapprove, but if he leaves anyway then you can be sure she will follow.

But remember that it is Eragon who has been doomed to leave Alagesia and not Arya.

But if Arya leaves then we can be sure Eragon will leave fulfilling the prophecy.

But there is no reall reason for her to leave.
Eragon on the other hand promised to agree on what ever the menoa Tree wanted. And she isn't so happy about dragons =/

Does this even matter? If one of them leaves the other is going to leave after much luvy-duvyness anyways. Whoever decides to leave first is irrelevant.

True enough. And you are right ^^ I'm happy as long as AxE are together

And I'm unhappy but that doesn't matter either.

If eragon has to leave, I think it will be with both dragons and arya. I think she's the new rider.

I suspect she will be as well, but I still don't like the idea.

It could either be that, or roran and Katrina's child, or another elf, like the one Eragon fought in Ellesmera, I can't remember the name right now. V-something.

You mean Vanir.

He watched as a group of people on proud horses approached a lonely river. Many had silver hair and carried tall lances. A strange, fair ship waited for them, shining under a bright moon. The figures slowly boarded the vessel; two of them, taller than the rest walked arm and arm. Their faces were obscured by cowls, but he could tell that one was a woman. They stood on the deck of the ship and faced the shore. A man stood on the pebble beach, the only one who had not boarded the ship. He threw back his head and let out a long, aching cry. As it faded, the ship glided down the river, without a breeze or oars, out in the flat, empty land. The vision clouded, but just before it disappeared, Eragon glimpsed two dragons in the sky.

This is more than obvious the elves who is leaving and the man and woman who is taller, has to be elves as well then. (Or a half elf in Eragons case) Two dragons in the skie and two people in fucus points to that they are riders.
And why would Rorans child leave? And besides he will not be taller than an elf. That would be unrealistic since his parenst are humans.
It's two elves. One male and one femal with two dragons in the sky.
It will be Arya & Eragon together with their dragons.

I hope so. they are good for eachother...

Indeed. Shallow character and unrealistic character make a good team.
I still don't believe that the two are Arya and Eragon. The height thing is a pretty big problem.

I think eragon is taller than arya, but arya is older than eragon. It has to be her that he leaves with. Who else is an elf that he knows who is a woman that willl leave with him that has a dragon?

well, maybe I'm thinking about the movie. i guess he's still shorter than arya... Don't judge me. i'm tired.

The change made Eragon to look like an elf. And not a short elf.
The change actually changed him. Odd huh? [sarcasm]

The only things Eragon had left from looking human was his need to shave and that his face wasn't quite as triangular as the elves.
Every thing else became features of an elf.

Indeed. But notice it mentioned every other aspect of his change...except any change to height. That's probably because his height hasn't changed. So as already stated, to get taller than a great number of elves he and Arya will both require growth spurts. The fact that Arya is probably done growing isn't going to help much.
So I'm saying he kept his not-as-triangular-as-an-elves-face, his need to shave, and his height. That's what the facts point to.

Wrong. It metions his ears, his face, and I think his eyes as well.
And the change of his body. He then notice that he still needs to shave and that his face is not as elven as the other elves.
It is always said that he looks like an elf, and not like a short elf.
Since it changed him and not just parts of him, but the whole of him and nothing said that his height somehow was left outside, the height has to be included.
He has never even once been compared with a short one. Infact he has only be comapred to look like an elf. It changed the whole of him to look like an elf.

I don't get how I was wrong... I said it mentioned every change except any to his height, then you say I'm wrong and say basically the exact same thing I did.
And now you're grasping at straws. I think if he had become taller than every elf he would have noticed it by now. That seems to be a pretty major thing. The fact that it hasn't been mentioned supports my view, not yours. So I (finally) agree with gomenesigh. No change to his height has been mentioned and therefore no change has happened.
Plus there is the fact that both elves seen in the dream were taller than the rest. This means Arya would have to be taller than the other elves as well. Nowhere has it been said or even implied that Arya is taller than the other elves.

I have never said that he was taller than every elf. Not even than one single of them. I said that he was as tall as an elf.

If it is said that he was changed to look like an elf, and no one mentions that he shorter than every one, you have to asume that he is as tall as them. Because it was just not part that changed. It was the whole of him.
The height is a part of him. As said in the books, he looks like an elf. Not a short elf.

The height has not been mentiond, but the change has. The chnage who changed him to an elf(hyrbrid). The ONLY thing that was mentioned was thing he had left from his human look. His face (not as elvish) and his need to shave. No mention of his height at all. Then it has to be included in the change.

Gomenesigh is right. If his height had change someone would have noticed. Every other aspect of his change has been mentioned by him, and later by others, so why would they leave out a big thing like his height?
Also, he would have to be taller than the other elves not just the same height because in his vision the two elves he saw are 'taller than the rest'. That means there is a noticeable height difference. Such a change would be hard to miss, but no one has said anything about it. The only logical reason is that his height hasn't changed.

maybe they didn't think of it as a big change. Considering the amount of change to the rest of his body, maybe they overlooked it.

I highly doubt that. If he's grown so much that he's taller than the other elves someone would have noticed by now. Saphira or Roran especially. Plus, it isn't like CP to leave out something like that.

yeah, that would be an important idea to incorporate...

But CP has said in it like tow or three times, that he is puting Arya and Eragon on an even footing, making them equal. If he creats and kill a shade in only 5 pages to get them the same titel, I do think that he would have fixed the hieght.

No. That is a fact. However I havn't said that Eragon height has changed for sure.
But I do think so.


What has the title to do with that? Only CP knows. However he did creat and kill a shade in less than fave pages to put them on an even footing.


Dhu... Of course. Every person is special. But CP is making the equal.
He has said so him self.


Aryas view won't change his height. I don't see your point.


This is where you are wrong my freind. Making him look, live and have the powers of an elf is vital in their relationship. As I have said before, CP is puting them on an equal footing.


I have facts that direct my view on this. You just see them in another way.


Actually no. You have been using the same facts as me. You just see it in a nother way. And we won't know the answer until the fourth book.

But leaving his height, I think that it's more than obvious that we see Eragon and Arya leaving in the dream.

The facts do depend on how you view them, but our view is much more logical and likely.
We can't leave Eragon and Arya's height alone when dealing with this dream. It clearly states that the two elves are noticeably taller than the rest, so if it is Eragon and Arya they will have to be. That involves a growth spurt for both. Now let's just say that against everything logical and probable that Eragon is tall enough. This still leaves the problem of Arya who is not tall enough. Is sh going to get a growth spurt as well?

Actually I think all of you are taking the height thing far too literally. No one character let alone characters fit that description. Maybe something happens in the fourth book, but as it is, no one does. That said, in my opinion, those two people are Eragon and Arya leaving Alagaesia with the elves and the last dragons in existence.

that's one way of looking at it...

It will be Arya and Erahon leaving. Eragon is domed to leave Alagesia.

That is impossible to misunderstand. Your fate will be to leave this land forever. Where you will end up I know not but you will never again stand in Alagaësia. This is inescapable. It will come to pass even if you try to avoid it.

You can't misunderstand the last part. Eragon will leave.
And as he has said Arya is the ONLY woman he wants to be with.

And his dream shows us this.

"He watched as a group of people on proud horses approached a lonely river. Many had silver hair and carried tall lances. A strange, fair ship waited for them, shining under a bright moon. The figures slowly boarded the vessel; two of them, taller than the rest, walked arm in arm. Their faces were obscured by cowls, but he could tell that one was a woman. They stood on the deck of the ship and faced the shore. A man stood alone on the pebble beach, the only one who had not boarded the ship. He threw back his head and let out a long, aching cry. As it faded, the ship glided down the river, without a breeze or oars, out into the flat, empty land. The vision clouded, but just before it disappeared, Eragon glimpsed two dragons in the sky."

So. How many people actually has the capasity to put this together?
It was Eragon who dreamt the dream. Eragon is domed to leave Alagesia. Nothing can change that. There is two dragons in the skie. From what CP has said Arya is the only one who fits as the next rider (If his isn't lying)
Eragon loves Arya and dosn't want any one else. In the dream we see a man and a woman bording the ship. And CP has said that book four continues the adventures of Eragon, Saphira and Arya.

I haven't heard anything about a release date yet either. I'm starting to lose patience...
