2015. And he’ll still to 15 to the media.

I don’t think there is any doubt in anyone’s mind that Arya will have a green dragon, so moving on… what else can happen?

Eragon can confront Galbatorix…. and… and… oh god, this book is going to be full of filler, isn’t it?

Maybe Roran will attempt a military coup of Nasuada. Wait, why am I giving Paolini ideas?

I can see it now.

Roran VS. The Nighthawks. Who will win?

You might think the Nighthawks, because they are a highly trained elite military force trained to protect the supreme ruler of the rebellion. There’s just one problem. There are 200 of them.

Hm. Then I hope they have a fight to the death—Eragon’s death.

Yeah, Murtagh is slated for death… unless C.P. pulls a classic everyone is happy ending, and the book ends on as big of a down note as Breaking Dawn. :D

If only...

Yeah, Elizabeth was starting to piss me off. Anyways! Hm.. I have a feeling it's going to be like Breaking Dawn in the respect that it'll end way too happily. Hopefully there'll be a fight/war at the end though... It'd be cool if in killing Galby, Eragon somehow manages to kill himself whilst gazing at the beautiful face of Arya.... But somehow I don' t think that'll happen.

No, CP would find that inconceivable.

- Eragon briefly loses his power, but then regains it, becoming more powerful than ever.
- No epic battle, because CP's (impossibly) had too much to write before the battle. The battle will take up book five.
- Book four itself will be divided into two, three, four, or seven 'books'.
- Arya DOESN"T get a dragon. Instead she finds out that she gets something that trumps dragons, hands down.
- Eragon gets one of these, too.
- Eragon finds a way to restore all the dragon souls or whatever they're called. Nobody dies!
- Arya does fall in love with Eragon, but he spurns her at first. Then they get together.
- Murtagh and Eragon fight for Arya's love. Elva kills them both because they're causing Arya suffering. Failing that, Nasuada and Murtagh get together.
- If she hasn't already (it's been a long time since I read book 3
- Katrina has a baby. Roran goes all gooey-eyed.
- it turns out that Galbatorix doesn't really exist at all, and Alegaesia has been under the rule of NOTHING.
- Breaking Dawn-type move: Galbatorix, if he DOES exist, is overthrown in a weird twist, by his own army.
- Garrow appears as a ghost some time during the book. Or Eragon travels to some immortal gods realm thing.
- Shego decides that Dr Drakken should take over Alegaesi--whoops! heh heh...

Oh, I want more. This looks good.

Heh, that was awesome.

“Galbatrox! I have come to make you pa… Oh. Hurray for the Varden!”

...I hope it doesn’t end that way :{

I find it funny at all the naivete that it’s going to end on book four. The left behind series is going on for 12+ books so surely PaoPao can do it for 36.

Honestly, I hope it goes like this;

Eragon: “Galbitrox! Your reign of poorly-defined Evil ends today!”

Galby: “Fool! Do you not know of my most powerfull technique?!?!”

Kicks Eragon in the fork of the legs

Eragon: O.o

Me: ☺

- Eragon will gain more power, find some way to harness dragon hearts without killing the dragons, fulfill the numerous prophecies written about him, go on some long and pointless side-quests, combat Galbatorix, and save the word as everybody knew he would.

- Arya will get the green dragon, and will then begin to swoon for Eragon’s gorgeous, perfect, dazzling, statuesque figure.

- Murtagh will fight the designated hero bitterly until he has a change of heart and decides to sacrifice himself to kill the emperor. He thereby changes his true name, and can live his last few moments a free man. His last words will be “You were right about me…”

- Roaran singlehandedly defeats a combined force of Urgals and Galby’s soldiers. Shortly after Nasuada makes him the Varden’s chief general, he begins to wear a helm all the time and insists that he be called “Master Chief.”

- Saphira will breathe fire and sprout platitudes, while shuttling her master around so he can fulfill his destiny. She might also fall into a contrived and purple love with Arya’s dragon.

- Nasuada will be forced into another round of cutting. She will then begin to wear eyeliner and write awful poetry about how her one true love was transformed into a monster, and how the loss perforated her heart with a red-dragon’s talons. If Paolini is still single at the time of publication, she may even recite them. God help us all.

And the sad thing is…most of that will probably happen. If not all.

I’m sure they have mud… that’d work in a pinch, right?

Mutiny!

Can we have Arya killed off by a Dwarf priest too?

Just as long as Murtagh finishes the series in a better position than Eragon.

We should seriously write this.

(We need to think of a really, really awful death for Eragon)

Appropriately grand, indeed.

especially if he slips on a banana peel and dies to a laugh track

How about if she crispifies him first?

Everything at the same time! Eragon dies from slipping on a banana peel on Galbatorix’s well-polished throne room floor while Saphira is crispifiying and eating him and some local peasantry point and laugh.

I think he should have some soldier pwn him, and Eragon’s like “You’re all monsters!” and they’re like “Yeah, but we pwn you with our skills.” And they kill him. is reminded and horrified by brisingr scene

“The Brutal, Hamfisted irony!”

:D

My very favorite kind of justice. More Supreme Court Justices should be poets. :P

I’m betting on 800, with the first 600 being filler. And Tenga will make his appearance near the very end.

And the sad thing is…most of that will probably happen. If not all.

No… the sad thing is that all that will happen over a score of books. Like Adam said:

Please, only if that priest is specced shadow might he have a chance. Otherwise he’s going to go down to mage Arya.
Heh, that’s how it will end. It’s all been an MMO. And Eragon is ganked and then camped by the opposite faction who is tired of his ^%&@#.

Then Eragon’s own faction joins in to help camp him as well.

The player that is Eragon in real life tries to leave, but finds himself too self absorbed and tied into the world to believe that everyone’s turned on him and he isn’t winning. He wastes away for decades trying to continue the game while people come and go, and legends grow up around the epic, eternal quest to keep the most vicious raid boss in the game dead.

And then what would happen?

ImpishIdea self-destructs as we are all forced to eat our words.

Maybe it’s like Big Brother, and he once existed, but then he died, but people still act like he exists, because nobody knows about his death, because the authoritarian government wants to deify him in order to justify its excessive power, because the people love Big Brother.

/run-on

It’s a time paradox!

Saphira dies and Eragon goes insane and releases a burst of power that sends him back in time… where he takes a new dragon egg, followed by slaughtering the rest of the dragon riders as well as ensuring his father and mother get together so that he… exists.

Wrong trope.

what trope is the rocks falling thing?

I meant the name of the trope

Speaking of which, I went onto TV tropes the other day and only stayed on for twenty minutes! I was really proud of myself!

I'd love it if that happened. :D

Murtagh pushes the rocks.

YES. That idea wins.
