One of my fav things from the first Eragon book:
When Eragon sees the Urgal footprint and tells Saphira to get Brom to safety and she just grabs Brom and presses him against her with her wings without telling him why and won't let him go before Eragon tells her to. That's just peak "Eragon and Saphira share one (1) braincell and she didn't have it at that time". Also I wanna know what went on in Broms head. One moment he's making a campfire, the next moment his son's dragon snatches him up and won't let him go.

Something I realized about Murtagh, a factor of why he got into fights in or behind a bar, is because he’s flaunting his coin!!!
Dude! I expected you to be smarter about this!
Yes, you need information, and gold payments (Fulsome Feast in Ceunon), and offering to pay for a bar-wide round (Gil’ead) is a good way to get to people talking. However, it’s signifies how much coin you have in your purse and makes you a target of possible attempted murder and robbery! You know this! You grew up among the young couriers in a capital city! You. Know. This!
Lack of a decent information network as an excuse, only works for so long.
(Also, it is not good to distress your dragon! He gets worried about you and he will break a town for you.)

Man. You know what. I just really need more dad Eragon. What about him being in in the middle of training the riders with like this infant strapped to his chest. No one can concentrate. Baby starts crying. This calls for CUDDLES
“Training Baby”
(A/N: The sudden urge to draw the image that’s in my mind… I doodled in the margins. Hi! Eragon with an infant is pretty cute. Even if I think of it attempting to be the Lee Shang in Disney’s Mulan before the song. lol
Warnings: none.
Word Count: 423 words)
Clear skies and temperate weather led the leader of the Dragon Riders to hold training outdoors. Some fresh air was good, healthy.
Eragon knew that he, himself, could not be inside the fortress forever. Nor could he be outside and away from his little one for too long. A personal choice and a necessity.
He was needed almost everywhere.
“Now remember,” Eragon paced slowly in front of the other Riders, “even without a traditional weapon, you can attack or defend yourself with the aid of magic. The more complicated or difficult the spell, the more of your energy will be used. Be mindful of yourself.”
Before him, the Riders were silent. Gazes watching his every move.
A small, insistent whine pierced his ears.
Eragon lightly patted the bundle of fabrics strapped to his torso. He was awarded with quiet from his infant. His companion for the day.
Remaining indoors had not been a possibility.
Eragon cleared his throat and continued. “Even a blade of grass could aid a Rider as a weapon given the speed or sharpness. There may come moments where you must—”
“Ahh.” His baby spoke up.
“—think quickly—”
“Wahh ahh.”
“—and be creative—”
“Aaa!”
Eragon cringed as his baby’s cries continuously struck his sensitive ears.
He raised his voice to the Riders as they gawked at the infant. “Be creative with your words. Carefully. Take a rest period.” Eragon dismissed them as he turned his full attention to his baby.
“WAAH!”
“Easy, my little one.” Eragon patted them gently as he walked into the shade of a tree. “What’s the matter?”
The infant grabbed at his shirt as they cried.
“Was I boring you? Too loud?” He ran his fingers over their head as their cries subsided. “I was teaching. It’s my responsibility.”
They babbled, looking up at him.
“I can’ play all day.”
“Ah.”
“I know,” Eragon wrapped his arms around the precious bundle, “it’s silly, but it’s true.”
“Uhhoo.”
He chuckled.
What a responsible, silly, and magical life Eragon lived. So full of possibilities. Knowledge that could progress them along and love that could surprise him.
“Ah.”
“What?”
“Ahhoo.”
Eragon kissed the top of their head and earned a delighted giggle in return. “Is that what you want?” He kissed the infant’s forehead. “I see you smiling.”
“Wah Ahaha!”
“I knew it.”
Eragon, grinning widely, peppered his dear infant with affection and silly voices. It was necessary. Perhaps not to some, but why would he possibly care about that when his little one was filled with abundant joy?

The Inheritance Cycle books were a major part of my childhood and I’ve read them (actually more listened to them in audiobook form) countless times, the story being very fond to me. The author Christopher Paolini has been a great inspiration for me in my own writing and story creation.
The last time I drew these characters was years ago and I figured since I started the books again recently and I’ve been quite inspired, I decided to give it another go. These particular drawings of the characters depict them from the last book in the series; “Inheritance”. (Probably gonna draw more characters soon too)
ALSO THEY’RE MAKING A SHOW NOW TOO?? SO THERE’S THAT. My child self is so happy right now, I never thought we’d get another chance after the *AHEM* first disaster (to be fair though some of the casting was pretty good). I really hope that it’s able to finish production and it brings in a wave of new fans to enjoy this awesome story!! 💚💚

Can anyone tell me if there's a specific reason why Cristopher Paulini didn't put Arya and Eragon together at the end and Murtagh and Nasuada?
Like, we were expecting some couple at the end of the books and the only couple we had was Roran and Katrina,who were already a couple at the beginning of the saga ;-;
