I promised we’d be back and now the time has come. Chinook and I are, ironically, in a similar position to Murtagh and Thorn: on the run and hoping to avoid being found by Eragon and Saphira since we absconded from their godawful “Academy”.
(This sounds fun. I want to do this too, if it's okay.) Me and my dragon companion (they refuse to give themself a name yet) are running, too. One meeting with those creepy Eldunari and we decided to get out of there. Unfortunately, a couple of Eragon's elf lackeys were bitten in the process. Good luck and stay safe!
"Divers" was defined as being various for me. I read it in 16th century letters. That word really stood out to me because it was the only word/phrase that read as being from a past time period. The other sentences are not phrased archaically at all. Instead, they sound like Paolini is trying to imitate the way people in the early modern period wrote, but is not getting there.
Honor demands, duty compels, And love cajoles, but the self insists.
Honestly, I do like this last line. If Paolini had just left this there on its own, it would have been much better.
