Explanations...

since it seems that everyone is having trouble taping into my outrageous brain waves, this is an explanation for the Brisingr post.

Eragon:
Eragon is a 15-yr-old farmboy, a native of Alagesia in the small town of Carvahall, who goes out hunting. Little does he know that when he brings home a smooth blue stone that his life is about to change forever. When the stone hatched into a dragon, [thus making the stone a dragon egg, instead of a stone] Eragon's two-feet-big life is blown to pieces. Eragon must escape the tyranical emperor, Galbatorix, to survive with his dragon, Saphira [she's blue: )] ... He escapes to the Varden, a organization that fights the Empire tooth and claw [tooth and claw, one of my fav Eragon lines : )] Eragon escapes to the Varden with the help of Carvahall's storyteller [who was previously a Dragon Rider] Brom and Murtagh, who was the son of one of Galbatorix's Minions [his name was Morzan]. The Varden, with their new-found mascots Eragon and Saphira, desperately fight off Urgals [strange guys w/ horns and grey skin... kinda gross, but sooo adorable : )] and Galbatorix's men.

I probably should tell you about Arya, an elf that Eragon rescues from Galbatorix's clutches, and Roran, Eragon's cousin, and that I'm leaving out some major details so that you can find them out when you actually read the book. o and there's Durza, an evil Shade [basically his magic feeds off of ghosts' souls... he's really creeeeeeepy.]

The Varden is currently housed in the dwarf-city of Farthen Dur with it's center of Trojihem [spellings so wrong there : )] and the dwarve's prize, Isidar Mithrim or the Star Rose [it's a big blue sapphire that was carved into the shape of a rose, it's huge like about the size of one of our a-typical classrooms : ) i would love to own it]

So the Urgals are mashing up the Varden and Eragon is holding an all-out war against Durza. So Eragon is on the ground, at the feet of the Isidar Mithrim and Durza. Durza is being a pain and slashes Eragon's back. Arya and Saphira, in a desparate try to save Eragon's life, take the Isidar Mithrim from it's perch at the top of Trojihem and send it crashing and shattering to the floor of Trojihem... It gives Durza a momentary distraction and Eragon manages to set his sword on fire [using Brisingr, the ancient language word for fire, srry my brother is reading off to me...] and plunges the sword into Durza's heart. The End of Eragon, Book 1 in the Inheritance Cycle. [formerly it was a trilogy...]

Next up: Eldest
