Eragon Eragon Eragon

Howdy y’all, long time no see. I think today will be about the latest book I have (finally) read. Today, after getting it on release day, I finally finished the third book of the Eragon series, and boy do I regret finishing it now, without knowing when the next will finally be released. I admit that the series reads a little childish, for lack of a better word, and there are some problems with the way things are presented, but I love the series nonetheless.

Be warned Spoilers Below
As an avid theorizer, I am going to go ahead and join the hoards of others and theorize what may happen. Since I can come up with so many scenarios, I will only bore you with just the main ones, possibly over a two part or three part series :O.

For the first part, I will go over how I think it will end. A big bomb on how it will end was dropped within the first book, where Eragon’s fortune is read and his future predicted. The prediction was basically two people are sailing away with two dragons overhead, and a person watching from shore. I have two main theories on what happens with this, as follows:

1. The two people on the boat are Eragon and Arya, with their dragons flying overhead. The person watching from shore is no one of importance, it could be Roran or Murtagh, or less likely anyone else. They could be leaving for a variety of reasons, but my main two are either the rest of the world, or because it is the only way for peace to truly last. They could also be exploring the world to maybe find something, or various other reasons.

Probability that this or a slight variation happens: 75%

2. The two people on the boat are Roran his wife, with Saphira and the green dragon flying overhead. The person on shore could be Eragon. The reason Eragon stays behind is this is the only way peace can happen. This could happen if he seeks a bittersweet ending. I would rather it not happen, but it sounds interesting. Why Roran and his wife? Not sure, It could be some other group.
Probability this or some variant happens: 22%

3. The last 3% is a cross of these two and every other of my smaller theories and possibilities. They aren’t worth mentioning.
This is the main part of the book that interests me, since most books end in ways that make me long for more. There are bitter sweet ending in which the main characters disappear over the horizon to journey into the unknown, like Lord of the Rings.

A small theory that I have which has probably been mentioned many times is the Vault of Souls. I believe it could be a place where more heart of hearts are kept, in case something happened. This, along with the words that Brom mentioned in the first book are the two things I want to know most for the next.

For now, I will continue next time, if I put time in to talk about the next parts.
