This week I am supposed to pick a song to relate to my book. I picked the song Don't Blink by Kenny Chesney. The reason I think this relates is because in both things we see how life goes by way faster than it seems.

Now for the big doozie. Now when we left Eragon he was trying to find the right sword inside the varden camp. He tries out many of them and finally settles with the falchion. A few days pass and it comes to the day of Roran and Katrinas wedding. Merely a few hours before the ceremony Murtagh and Thorn (the evil dragon and rider) show up with and army to attack the Varden. The people scatter to assume fighting postions and Eragon and Saphira fly to meet them in the sky. The battle between the two powerhouses ends in a stalemate with Eragon on the ground unconscious and Murtagh and Thorn flying away for their lives. After magicians heal Eragon and the Varden assesses the damage, they think it would be best to continue as planned with the wedding. The wedding goes smoothly and the two are married by nightfall. In the morning Roran is sent on a raiding mission and we don't hear from him for awhile. Meanwhile Nasauda tells Eragon that she needs him to leave Saphira behind once again and go to Farthen Dur to oversee the election of the new dwarve king. Eragon doesn't like this plan because he knwos that Galbatorix could attack anytime that he was away. He reluctantly agrees to go but on the conditions that after the election him and Saphira can travel to Ellesmera to resume training with Oromis and Glaedr (the hidden dragon and rider). After Eragon arrives at the meeting spot he find his friend Orik who is currently trying to win the election. During the first try to elect a king Eragon steps out for some air and while he is walking around he gets attacked by dwarves and is nearly killed. He tells this to Orik who launches a full blown investigation into who did it. After they find the perps, Orik announces which clan was behind it and that clan was then banished. Finally when the skirmish was settled the leaders of the clan sat down and chose a new leader. Much to the delight of Eragon they chose Orik to lead them. He contacted Nasauda about and as soon as she told Saphira, Saphira took off and flew straight to Eragon. Then, in honor of the newly anointed king, she restored the magic stone of the dwarves. After this parting gift Eragon and Saphira fly to Ellesmera to resume training. When they finally arrive Eragon discusses his need for a Rider's sword seeing as his falchion broke. Oromis points him toward the smith Rheunon. She has made every Riders sword. After much argument she agrees to make Eragons sword. When she finishes the sword everyone can tell it is her finest piece of work. On his way back to Oromis' hut he sees the old man and his dragon suited in full blown war-armor. Then Glaedr gives Eragon his "Heart of Hearts" which contains the soul of the dragon. When that is all said and done the two part ways to help the Varden attack two seperate cities. Little do they know that this is the last time that they will ever see each other. During Eragon's attack on Feinster he hears Glaedr's thoughts through the heart of hearts. When he hears this he hears Murtagh and Thorn brutally killing Oromis and Glaedr. This is one of the saddest parts of the book. However meanwhile at Feinster several magicians are trying to summon a Shade (a demon). Right before Eragon and Arya kill the last magician the Shade is summoned and starts to choke Arya. Eragon tries to hit him but to no avail. Then Arya manages to break the arm he was choking her with and in the split second she was free she takes the sword and put it through his heart, killing the Shade. That signifies the end of the battle. Right after the battle is where the third book ends. I can't wait until the fourth and final book comes out so I can read that.
