Dragons: The Inheritance Cycle

Greetings, Riders.

Today is a day of dragons! We are going to look at how dragons are portrayed in Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle. If you are unfamiliar with the series name, the book names are: Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, and Inheritance. The series follows a farm boy who finds a blue stone in the middle of the woods. The stone turns out to be a dragon egg, and Eragon, the boy becomes its Rider. The rest of the series follows Eragon as he has to fight a powerful and evil empire, and bring back Dragon Riders.

Someday, I may write a review on this series, but for now, I want to talk about the dragons.

In the Inheritance Cycle, dragons hatch for their Riders. This means that a dragon could stay in an egg for three hours or 2,000 years; they hatch for the person they want to become their Rider. Once the dragon hatches, the dragon and Rider are bonded forever. They "mindspeak" to each other, but the farther away they are from each other, the harder it is.

In these books, dragons are much wiser than people (or elves or dwarves) but are bound to people. Dragons possess a magic that is inconsistent but powerful. A dragon's name is extremely important to it.

This is our first look at one of many views on dragons.

Experience the joy of dragons, Dragon Riders.

Creative Complex: Springtime

Hello, Friends.

Today, use all five senses to describe a scene in early spring in the middle of a wood.

 (It doesn't have to be this scene.)
