Summary[]
Eragon begins to feel that he is not sufficient as a Dragon Rider after his defeat by Vanir but he is reassured by Saphira that he is. He continues his training, realizing why it is worthwhile to fight Galbatorix, even though many lives will be lost. Oromis teaches him of wards and more about his enemies. He learns that Urgals should not be considered evil by default, that the Twins were traitors and that the flying Lethrblaka mounts of the Ra'zac were their parents.
