arya like DUH!!!! what could be more predictable?

she repaid alredy

i totaly agree

Nausada isnt royalty, she's a leader but not a queen...Eraogn will marry Arya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (hopefully)

ok, smarty pants.... they'll mate 4 life...i prefer the term marriage tho... sayin they m8 4 life makes thm sound a bit like a pair of swans... lol

Maybe he'll meet a new girl in book 3?
PLEASE, PLEASE, dont let it be Arya!!!
I'm kinda thinking they will end up together, but I'm praying they won't

1) I dont like Arya. Period. She's a stuck up, princess, I'm-better-than-you Elf

2) I like Eragon and He can do waaay better

3) Fairytale-Happy-Ending = LAAAAAME

4) If CP can't be more creative than that, I will be VERY disappointed in him.

( i know i've said this before but... lol)

I think they'll get together, I just don't think she needs to go through something or get stronger through becoming a rider to realize that. I just want them to get together.

i comletely agree i hate stuff like that it will ruin the book especialy if at the end of the book and its like one of those romantick endings, blechhhh!

i wouldn't dout that eragon and arya will end up together. Anything could happen though... Eragon could end up with Nuassada or whatever her name is from the varden.. (most likely not)

look there gonna b 2geva....Eragon loes her.... she's such a lucky girl... they will b 2geva *mates* 4 life, like a pair of Swans, lmao....

How does he not admit it to himself? He like is in love with her!! I think he's done that by now, don't you?

I mean he's said it to himself inside.

But he's tried before to be open with her, it may or may not work.

That maybe, she might just not want to get hurt again. But I don't think there is a mortal/elf woman his age that is prettier than her do you think?

I think Arya's scared that it ont work out, she obviously has feelings for him....it wouldnt b fair if CP didnt get them 2geva + he deserves her n she deserves to b happy....

When did we obviously see that she had feelings for him other than those of a good friend?
Perhaps she doesn't need romance to be happy. The point is we wouldn't know, shes not our character.
Why wouldn't it be fair if he didn't make them fall in love? He is the writer and he can write it any way he wants. Some people don't need love to be happy and Arya kinda seems like one of them.
And if she does want to fall in love and take a mate I see her with another elf, not Eragon.
I love happy endings as much as the next girl but some stories I don't think they would work and Eragon was never a very romance oriented story. When CP had him get a crush on Arya I think he wanted to show him growing up more. Arya was his first crush probobly because she was the first female that he spent a large amount of time with and being an elf was very beautiful.

yeah i think if he ever marries it will not be arya.he might not but he will most likely meet some amazing women who is perfect for him.

Arya is the one Eragon will mary, all the facts support it.

she sees him as a friend but i think she likes him as more....but is scred of everything and she doesnt want to get in the way of his training n bcos she's older thn him etc....

But what about him marying into Royalty? I don't see any one who is royalty who he has had the time to establish a relationship with. Any how I think Arya has feelings (they can hide thier feelings perity good though) for Eragon but she knows he needs to keep his mind on his traing and fighting the King and Murtagh.

It wasn't marry royalty it was be in love with royalty.

Thank you for correcting me but still I think it will be Arya for my last two reasons his premonition in the chapter when Garrow died and the other part of the fortune (correct me again if im wrong) but isn't Eragon to leave Alagaesia. So I prosume that that would be with the Elves and Arya by his side. That what I got out of the premonition and the fortune.

Arya is royalty and Eragon is in love with her...well he hasn't actly said that he is in love with her..maybe in book 3 he will. But yeah I also think that Arya has feelings for him, but she has to know that no matter what she says to him he will still have those feelings for her and that her saying that she only sees him as a friend would destract him constantly even though he knows that he has to concentrate on his training.

Very true. But wouldn't it distract him just as much or more if she came forth and told him that she has feelings for him. I think it would.

I think you have a point there, but then there is the age diffrence between Eragon and Arya wich would put Arya in an uncomfortable or hurtful perdiciment with the elves, but it may not. But I am pretty sure Arya and Eragon get together.

i think they won't.why would he?he will probly foret her.or when he leaves she will stay behind nad he will have the chance to fall in love for real

Oh yeah the age difference. I think that if she really wanted to be with Eragon then the age difference wouldn't matter. I don't see Arya as the type to care what others think about her actions. Cause she didn't have a problem accepting the yawe when Islanzadi was against the decision. And if the decision is to promote her happiness then she would care even less.

They will get together the question is how?

I don't think she will have an acedent and tell Eragon, she'll get tierd of hidding and tell him out right I think or if She is the next rider then her Dragon will help her express her self. The Elves are wierd I don't even know if they know how to express feelings in this sort of situation.

But there still isn't any proof that she even has the feelings for Eragon you speek of. At least nothing definitive.

There is enough proof to know she likes him more than a friend but she thinks it is better to conceal it for her own sake and Eragons sake trailing wise.

Yes she does like him as a close friend. Possibly, possibly as a little more but even if she does she won't go for him. The fact is that we won't know until the third book comes out and if i am wrong and she does fall in love with him then i will admit that i was wrong.
I really don't see this book turning into a romance story. Eragon will probobly have a few more crushes during the third book, he is a sixteen year old boy. He was drawn to Arya because of her beauty, she is an elf and elves are supposed to be very elegant (not to be mixed up with the cute little santa helpers).

But then you forget the fortune that he was told that he WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH ROYALTY unless there is a new character introduced I will stick with Arya. Remember the premonition that happend in the chapter were Garrow dies, I think that the two people who stand above the rest on the boat is Eragon and Arya, the two dragons are Saphira and the Green dragon they must fall in love, which if the two dragons fell in love and Arya was the Green dragon's reder then that love (I think) would transfer over the bond to Eragon (who doesn't need it) and Arya (who might need it) which would bring them a hole lot closer than.

Serena Svit-Kona thanks for the support

I forgot about Ellesmera, you are right there what man except one destend for some one else could resist the (most likly) tons of cute elves, I couldn't, but Eragon has fallen in love like Serena Svit-Kona said.

Exactly, unless there is a new character which is most likly not going to happen with all the qualification's that the new character would have to meet, to fall in love with Eragon or get his Love. It not going to happen Arya is the one Eragon gets together with (She will most likly get the egg to hatch also).

Very True, so then it is basicly imposible for any one but Arya to fall in love with Eragon. She must if its a Romance, it would be wierd if Eragon had a romance with out a second person. I wonder what the next dragons name will be?

That Is very true. I know this is off subject but I think Trianna becomes a shade. Its a little far fetched but I think it will happed durring the last battle in Eldist when the twins show up.

yes its off topic but we hear nothing more of her after she warnes Eragon of the Twin's. Which makes me think if she tried to sommon and control a evil spirt that was far to power full for her.
It would ad an unexpected twist to the book and even to Arya and Eragons relationship. you never know.

Well in history only two other people killed a shade. Now that Eragon is the third, now if Arya were to kill a shade it would put even more coman ground down for both of them or Eragon will save her again and grow even more atached to her. But if this does happen I think Arya might save Eragon who would have grown used to Trianna leaving himself open to a surprise atack and since Trianna can guard her thoughts he could not see it coming leaving it to Arya or it could go the other way.
But I think there needs to be something that pulls them together more.

Arya is the only woman born into royalty, Nausada is a noble woman but not royalty....

But you cant say that because we do not know were she came from.

in the prediction she also said she didin't know if the romance would end happily. And just because there are two people with dragons flying ahead doesn't mean the other one is Arya, it would be whoever becomes the new rider. there is no evidence to support arya being the next rider than there is for nasuada.

In the perdition didn't she also say that the Romance would also last a long time. That would leave Arya a better canidate than Nasuada, at this point in time, and remeber the new rider will need some expirence with both magic and the sword, (not taking anything away from Nasuada she is most likly has great swords skills), Nasuada is also Eragon's liegelord which would put both in a difficult situation. Also the new Dragon is going to be Green and Arya has Green Magic so that also helps show us who is more likly to get the Dragon to hatch. Please correct me if I'm wrong I dont have Eragon with me now.

Yeah I agree, but lest not forget that when Eragon had showed up at the burning plains she was all kinds of scared(well she didn't show it or say it, but i think she was) because he wasn't blocking his mind and she thought it was someone powerful coming for her. So even if she does become a shade he will be ready for her and he would have become even more powerful then he was the last time he saw her. I think Eragon will end up saving Arya again and that as you said would make him even more attached to her.

As for the post you wrote above me.....

Angela said that it would be a romance to outlast empires and a powerful one or magical one something like that (forgive me I don't have my book with me at the moment). And Eragon has shown no interest in Nasuada at all. Even before she became his liegelord he showed no intrest in her.

That is true. But let me ask you this. in the slim chance Nasuada does get the other Dragon to hatch for her, and since we know that Saphira will get togoether with that dragon, would that not infuence Eragon's point of view on Nasuada through the Dragons. But I don't think that Nasuada will be the next rider and I don't think Nasuada has feelings like that for Eragon anyway because she despises magic and he ain't her type.

I never said that his feelings would be pushed aside but I do think Eragon would be stuck Between Arya and Nasuada if that were to happen. But I think you are Right Nasuada will not be the next rider. But I do think whoever the next rider is (Arya) will look at Eragon it a more Freindy Freindship (just incase it is a guy though it is not most likly). But whought if it is Saphira who tells Eragon about her true feelings, but then we would have to nock Eragon out, adn have Arya talk with Saphira alone for alittle while.

Good point, but Eragon and Saphira normaly keep thier link open to eachother so they can see what the other is doing. Look at page 297 of Eldist it helps suppor this a little. So unless Saphira totaly blocks Eragon I think he would know what She is doing.

But the Twins were not conected to Eragon at all but Eragon and Saphira are. I have no doubt that Saphira could block the converation it is just the fact if Eragon enters that part of her mind with out her knowing she might be cought off gaurd and he might try to do that very thing if he knows he is being blocked. Yes we know Arya could do anything easily but with the nature of a Dragon and Riders connetion that would be hard for her to block out someone who is coneted mentaly all of the time with the other person.

Yes but the thing is if you were conected with a dragon for that long would thier preccens become apart of you or would it be noticable at all times. Dragons ain't perfect Saphira will slip up some time with one of her secrets, unless she swore in the ancient language not to tell and Arya is not perfect enough to remember that all the time.

Why would he have to smell when he could just use Saphira's sense's to tell if Arya is there. But what if Arya didn't speek to Saphira with her mind I think then it would be easier for Saphira to block out Eragon or maybe detect him in her mind.

An epic romance is in your future, extraordinary, as the moon indicates-for that is a magical symbol - and 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.
that is copied word for word from eragon. it says it is strong enough to outalst empires but it doesn't say if it will.

Yeah I agree with you there. But wouldn't he be able to see or hear her answers when she's talking to Arya. Or is that what you mean when you said it would be easier for Saphira to block him?

That is what I ment by that. It is less to defend and not as noticable than blocking him entirly (I think). But the fact is that Eragon will find out Arya's hole feelings not the elve's part truths. Maybe he just asks and she tells him but that is highly unlikly.



Merala Anawan but does it say it won't? Thank you for the exact text to I needed it.
If this romance has the ability to outlast empire's then what could braek it other than a death?

True. I also think that it is Arya who will express her feelings to Eragon maybe with more than just a touch of the mind. But thats the bad thing about elves they hide there emotions so you relley never know what going to happen. But I think she will tell him around the part were the next Dragon hatches.

Yeah I agree. Maybe if the dragon hatches for her the dragon will teach her a little something about expressing her feelings and emotions. Do you think that Arya can hide her feelings/emotions when they speak with their minds? Because I remember Eragon describing her emotion when they were talking with their minds when she was in her self induced coma. I could be wrong though.

yea i remember that too... and eragon said he would never dare talk to her in her mind without permission again...

I agree he could sence her emotions through her mind. But he did touch her thought again on page 302 of Eldist. But that has nothing to do with it.

But I think that is the reason why she doesn't contact him more in that manner. like durring battles.
I going to go as far and say that maybe Arya has known about Eragon liking her when he first touched her mind, but it was only a small spark then.

Well the only other thing it could be is she dosn't like him at all. Which is highly unlikly. oooooo I found more evidence that she has feelings for Eragon on Page 592+593 of Eldist its not much but still reveals alittle more.

I'm looking at it right now. The part where she asks him if he wont do it again and then he's like "It wouldn't get me anywhere if I did,now would it?" (I love that part ) and she remains silent. I think that silence on her part tells a whole lot. And then when she asks him how he's been since the blood oath celebration. I mean come on she knows how he's been...I think she just wanted to know exactly what he was feeling for her.

That is very good point, or she wants to know not his feelings but the state of his mental health. But you are most likly right.

Those are good ones, that was real concern for him. She will let it slip or just tell the truth About her feelings. look at Pg 364 of Eldist. I wonder what the relationship between Faolin and Arya was, was it a romantic one which might help explain why she keeps Eragon as a friend. She might not want to let go.

She probably doesn't want to get hurt again, like if Eragon dies and she loves him then she will feel really bad.

My thought exactly. But that would be sad. Poor Arya

I hope that happens to and it would ad a nice little twist to things. It acualy explains more about Arya than any other Thery that we came up with so far.

I think it will happen in the middle of the book when they are palling to steal the next egg or something.

That would be even better than, It would give a chance for the Dragon to grow then.
