What wisdom can I give people that they havenÃt already learned? What feats can I achieve that an army couldnÃt do better? ItÃs insanity!
Eragon
ItÃs overwhelming. I feel as if I am living in an illusion, a dream where all things are possible. Amazing things do happen, I know, but always to someone else, always in some far-off place and time.
Eragon
A hatchling, that is what you are. A hatchling struggling into the world. I may be younger than you in years, but I am ancient in my thoughts. Do not worry about these things. Find peace in where and what you are. People often know what must be done. All you need to do is show them the way- that is wisdom. As for feats, no army could have given the blessing you did.
Saphira
After all, how can a mere dragon expect to tell a man like yourself what to do? In fact, everyone should stand in awe of your brilliance of finding the only dead end.
Saphira
That's the problem! I've been choosing male names. You are a she!
Eragon
"Are you Saphira?" She looked at him with intelligent eyes. Deep in his mind he felt her satisfaction.
Eragon
If anything happens, I'm going to pin you to my back and never let you off.
Saphira
I love you too.
Eragon
Then I will bind you all the tighter.
Saphira
Nothing. It's funny to see a hatchling like you beaten by the old one.
Saphira
Together we can cast spells that are beyond either of us.
Saphira
No hunter of the sky should end his days as prey. Better to die on the wing than pinned to the ground.
Saphira
Saphira, where are you? Let's have some fun!
Eragon
My heart died a while back.
Eragon
The worth is in the act. Your worth halts when you surrender the will to change and experience life.
