yeah i supose but i doubt c.p would do that

yeah....but i can still hope

you can but its not very affective

but it's still hope. lol

unless CP comes on here and reads about your life, he doesnt care what you think as just one person.

the next rider is gonna be arya for MANY reasons listed by a LOT of people all over this site

i supose c.p has kinda built up the whole arya thing

yeah, and in a pathetic way that's just despisable

but its not meant to be in a pathetic way

The next rider will be arya if hatched b4 battle is over. if not idk.

if it hatches after galby's dead, then it really doesn't matter who the next rider is, cuz the book will be over

yup. absolutely no point in it then.

and it really won't matter if it gets destroyed

heres a thought asuming the dream in eragon is true what well i think c.p says there are two dragons flying in the air which implys grown dragons because they need to get a certain size to fly so that infers most likely thorn and saphira or that the other dragon has had a few months to grow

or maybe eragon's dream is screwed

or its greenie and saphira, and greenie hatches at the beggining of bok 4 and takes a few months to grow while the battle rages on, and is full sized by the time eragon and arya leave alagaesia forever. it took about a month and a half for saphira to be able to fly so it isn't too long for that phase, it just takes a while for someone to ride her while she flies

oh yeah, thats a good point.

Arya:
Shur'tugal can contact CP and he said it was gonna be arya!

I thik it will be Arya.

or that

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. He said that he hoped that it would be a surprise for over 2 years ago. He said that right after Eldest came. No one thought that Arya would be the next rider back then. And ever since CP said that, time has gone on and things has changed weather people realize it or not. But ever since 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.

In the matter of logic inevitability.

Roran:
1. Roran has his family to live for. That would ruin his life with his family, causing him to outlive his wife (his entire world) and his child. Then his possible grandchildren, etc. Roran would never want that. Katrina is his life.
2. Then he could not be King, which is probably the leading theory under Roran - no immortal Rulers.
3. So far, his characterization has been developing his physical strength and leadership skills. No diplomatic skills or magical skills. If you were to use the stone argument, it could easily be countered with this - his failure at learning/using magic could be there to show his path will not be a magical one.
4. Is human - very strong, but only for a human. Could not compete with Galby or Murt or even the weakest elf.
5. On the "Rider blood" argument - blood is no real argument. CP has said that dragon does not choose because of families. He don’t even share that what you then should call rider blood. BromEragon MorzanMurtagh. Roran has no conection there. CP has evens aid that Eragon and Murtagh was a coincidence.
6. We have no time to train him. We would need to teach Roran the customs of Riders, how to preform magic and control energy as well as the AL itself, along with flying and fighting. We don't have the time of two new Eldest books to train him.
7. Wields a hammer, not a sword. It’s a diffrent fighting skill.
8. Due to the above, he is not "logically inevitable," no?

Orik:
1. He is a King. No immortal rulers, no? At least, not of a mortal race. Dwarves = mortal.
2. Yeah, he is also a Dwarf. Dwarves are not in the Pact, and there is not currently enough power to recast it. And honestly, why would it be recast now? In a time of war? Silly.
3. It would cause him to out live his wife/possible children as well.
4. Yes, we all know that he rode Saphira. But he didn't really seem too comfortable with 90% of the time. Yeah.
5. Size rations, anyone? He coulden’t even reach a Urgal from the back of a dragon.
6. Would require to much training. And we still don't have the time for 2 new Eldest books.
7. Not "logically inevitable."

Angela:
1. Based on CP's sister as a kind of joke - she was obviously not meant to have an extreme role in the books. Like, I dunno, the Rider who will help save the dragon race and defeat the evil Empire.
2. Can use magic, but is very weak when it come to magic use. So she would still require magical training, which would make her weaker than all other Riders in the IC. By her own word she has problem with even the easiest spell and therefor she prefers to use herbs.
3. Is human - normal strength.
4. Does not fight with a sword. Minor, but still.
5. Is not "logically inevitable."

Nasuada:
1. She currently is leader of the Varden. That is a big enough responsibility in itself, yes?
2. She would require training in magic and as well in how to use a sword and much more. And we still don't have the time of 2 new Eldest books to train her.
3. Is human - normal strength.
4. On magic, she loathes the stuff. That would cause a kind of conflict of interests, no?
5. Not "logically inevitable."

Elva:
1. Currently (physically) about 7 years old.
Not to mention that she is literally only about 1 year old.
2. No sympathies - why would she fight for the Varden at all? It would take some doing just to convince her to be on the "good side" (bleh) in the first place.
3. She would require training as well, both magically and with a blade. And we still don't have the time of 2 new Eldest books.
4. Again, human. She could not compete physically just by her race, not to mention her age.
5. Unpredictable, to put it mildly.
6. Not "logically inevitable."

But let’s take a look at Arya.
1. The dream in Deathwatch. Two people, a man and woman, boarding a ship while two dragon circle above. Now, most think this is Eragon departing the land with the other Rider, their two dragons flying above. This, if true, indicates the Rider is female.
2. Eragon is in love with Arya, Greenie and Saphie will likely be mates. Fits together.
3. She requires close to no training, as we don't have time to train a new Rider. And CP has even said that she was special trained by Oromis for several years and knows the secrets of the riders.
4. She is elven and female. The other Riders are human and male. It evens it out a little bit.
5. As an elf, is of superior mental and physical strength - and with one book to go, we need it.
6. Green. She has green eyes, green magic, etc. CP has said that there was clues in the books about who the next rider will be.
7. CP is puting her and eragon on even footing. They have the same strength magically and physically, or close to it, both are Shadeslayers. So making her a dragon rider would be the last part.
8. She has been in all three books.
9. She IS "logically inevitable.

And for those who say that she will be the next queen, take a look at this:

Eldest page 309 [English Version]
"If I had died in the course of my duty, then a replacement successor would have been chosen from among our various Houses. Even now I would not be required to become queen if I found the prospect distasteful. We do not choose leaders who are unwilling to devote themselves wholeheartedly to their obligation . . . I had many years to perfect those arguments with my mother"
