Book Posting 3

I am almost done with Brisingr, but this will not be my last post. It continues with Eragon seeing a true memory of his father and learns why he didn’t want to reveal himself to Eragon. Surprisingly enough, the memory is from Saphira (although she isn’t his father, he gave the memory to her for safekeeping). So Saphira has known who his real father was for quite some time. After meeting with his teachers, Eragon goes to see the bladesmith for the Riders back before the Forsworn took over. She has taken an oath that she would never forge another sword for a Rider. However, she agrees to help Eragon forge his own sword, but lacks a special material she calls brightsteel which comes from meteorites that have landed in Du Weldenvarden. Eragon then pays a visit to the Minoan Tree which was said to have a weapon for him but has never yielded any results. Eragon is able to convince the Minoan Tree to reveal some brightsteel that he can use to forge his own sword. The bladesmith agrees to help Earagon forge his sword within the boundries of her oath, otherwise, she would die. It usually takes several days to forge but they did it in one night so that Eragon could leave the next day. Plus, when Eragon names his sword, he discovers its true name, Brisingr.
