Eragon

Just something I threw together about the first two books of the inheritance series, a bit of a summing up.

Awaken'd in the mornings rush,

running, hiding in the brush

my life has changed,

no longer ordinary

now extraordinary

my adventure begins.

Running after all my foes

behind me my old life goes,

without me.

Now that i am free

what shall i do with me?

A choice resides within.

Not opposed and not agreed

do i know whats best for me?

What is it that I want?

To give up the only life I know

or to let the old one start to grow,

what to do.

I'm forced to choose

the Empire loses

a new power.

Now I know what to do,

I now join you,

My Varden.

My duty now is clear

to kill the foe so near,

Protector.

Crippled now and in mourning

n'er was given any warning

of the pain inside.

I have found I'm not alone

almost do i feel at home,

in Ellesmera.

Dear elva cursed,

I did the worst

now I am to cure it.

Too soon I leave

my hearts deceived

in the battle.

Up from dead,

alive and said,

Murtagh, my brother.

Devastated and weak

emotions hit the peak

with Roran.

Katrina's gone

hear sorrows song

though she lives.

Nasuada, Arya forgive me

my clan too please see,

that this is my destiny.

I love Eragon and this poem was written by someone who clearly loves the books too and who truely "gets" the books. Well written.
Se onr sverdar sitja hvass!

I will be honest with you. I expected this poem to stink. however, this actually is very good. I have read those books, and i think it connects very well. I would find this poem good even if i hadn't read the inheritance cycle.

Great read.
