Eragon

   Out of what I read this week there has been a lot more traveling and Eragon covers a great distance. I'll start with Brom, who was the man that traveled with Eragon. Brom dies in a fight against these creatures called Urgals because he cuts a deep cut in his side that Eragon can't heal. When Eragon buries Brom his dragon she touches the grave and huge gems grow out of the ground and cover it. Eragon places a tombstone on the ground and they leave. After about a week of traveling, he starts to have dreams about a girl captured in a cell. After talking about these dreams with Saphira(his dragon) another group of Urgals attacks. This time Eragon gets hit on the head and passes out. He later wakes up to find a boy not much older than him sitting by a fire. The boys' name is Murtagh and he saved Eragon. Murtagh accompanies Eragon on his journey to find the Ra'zac, but once again, they are attacked. This time Eragon wakes up in a cell and finds out he's been drugged so he decides not to eat or drink anyting the guards give him. When the effects of the drugs wear off he gets out of his cell and finds the girl that was in his dreams. It turns out she was an elf and he found her sleeping to where she wouldn't wake up. The guards find Eragon with her and he is outnumbered but right then Murtagh shows up and kills the guards. While they are trying to escape they run into someone called a Shade, which is basically a human possessed by an evil spirit. They barely escape by the time Saphira gets there to help them out.
   Murtagh and Eragon decide to cross the Hadarac Dessert to try and find the Varden. These people are against the Empire and live in a safe sanctuary the Empire can't get to. When they finally near the Varden Eragon learns that Murtagh is the son of a once very evil man who died long ago. Murtagh says he ran away though and is nothing like his father. The Varden take them in and know who Murtagh is so they keep him locked up. Eragon leaves the elf, whom he learns is named Arya, to be tended to. This is all I have read this week.
