I think Galbortix with capture Arya, along with Eragon and Saphria. He will have Arya make the Green Dragon hatch, then speed up it's growing process so it can breed with Saphria. This then makes it so that Eragon and Arya(more or less Arya) fall in love and the dream where Eragon is holding hands with a female rider, come true.
She might become the next Dragon Rider, and she may fall in love with Eragon. -Jamie
If Eragon doesn't end up with Arya then I'm an urgal. -Klane
Are you?-Square'ead.
-Islanzadi might die and she becomes Queen of the Elves. -Bekka
-She will become the rider of the Green Dragon and since she is a rider her dragon will most likely mate with Saphira causing Arya to fall in love with Eragon.-shadeslayer_rocks
-She will obviously become the next dragon rider because: 1. Green magic 2.Already knows magic 3.Already knows what to do if she gets a dragon. 4.Last but not least, she is Eragon's current love interest. Four is important because the next dragon will have to mate with Saphira if the dragon race is to survive, and since Eragon is mentally linked with Saphira, he will have to feel the same way. Since Arya is already his love interest, it will be much easier for him to accept having affection towards her. - ivegottheyawe
-Arya will become the green dragon rider, however whe will not leave Alagaesia with Eragon. She will stay to attempt to return peace a ruined nation, as Alagaesia will be after Galbatorix's death. - Theo
-Arya will become the green Rider and help Eragon defeat Galbatorix. She will also fall in love with Eragon. -Grace
-I think that Arya will become the green dragon rider, but she already likes Eragon and when she becomes a rider she will let Eragon closer.. Alex
-She's not falling in love with Eragon- Maria
-Well, it is noted that She had a realtionship with Faolin. She also mentioned that children were extremely rare. I have been playing with the idea that Arya has a Child. A daughter or a son. I would think a Daughter to Balance out the Boy-Girl Ratio. This also explains why she is soo unemotional and often quiet. So, there is my theory. I think she has a child.-Chloe
I think Arya will fall in love with Eragon. The relationship with Faolin was not stressed so I doubt it is of much importance. Maybe eragon and Arya will have chidren, if she is the 3rd rider it would seem likely-Shade
-I think Arya is already in love with Eragon But know it is wrong... Everyone brakes the rules... i think she is the next rider or at lest i hope so - NOK M.
-I think that Arya will be the new Rider, and her green dragon will mate with Saphira. Then maybe that would influence her to confess her love for Eragon, because I think she does secretly love him. I don't know. That's what I'm hoping for, anyway.--Arya_Drottningu
most probable Galbatorix will capture arya in order to get to eragon, but if she's going to be a rider I don't think. I think Vanir will be a rider since his personality is of ambiciousness and he knows a great deal of magic as it was shown in a struggle he had with eragon and he also knows how to fight very well.
-I am new to the Inheritance series, as I read Eragon near Christmas and I just finished Eldest, but I consider myself a bright person, and have developed a theory. Eragon's affection of Arya have been clear since after they dueled and talked there after. However, Arya didn't show them and has never shown a real love for Eragon, but subtle things have given away that she holds high affection for him. It all started with telling him she'd go after the darn Twins and Murtagh. It showed the most when she avoided Eragon after his portrait of her. Why else would she do that but to ignore his feeling of her when she feels the same.
-I have many theories for book 3 and had many for book 2, most of them that came true (Murtagh the next dragonrider, Arya's rejection of Eragon..etc..) I believe that Arya will become the next dragonrider and be crucial in the downfall of Galbatorix. I also hypothesize that she has had feelings for Eragon the whole time, like the fellow Inheritance fan has stated above. She has been supressing her feeling due to her duties as ambassador and princess to the elves. Also, due to the fact that Eragon has other duties to have his full intention, (saving Alagaisia, ending the reign of the false king etc...) she has not revealed them. It would make an excellent twist to the story if she was captured but I am not C.P. I also theorize that the green dragon and Saphira will have to mate this will draw Arya and Eragon closer, if not be a factor in bring them together in the first place. It is so much fun to read through the books and find clues. (I have read both of the books 20 odd times.) The clues are there you just have to dig deeper. Arya.
-Arya is probably gonna be the Green Dragon's Rider because anyone else will take too long to train, if you think about it, Arya (and her dragon) will need an infinitesimal amount of training, which is very good for the Varden.-Saphiraluvver
I know that this will probably sound dumb, but what if Faolin was her child? That could explain why she didn't want to talk about him with Eragon in Eldest and then nobody would have to take care of the child when they went between the Varden and Du Weldenvarden.-Bacon
Good point but I think she and Faolin were about the same age. Maybe I'm wrong though, but it is a good theory.--Svits 18:19, 13 April 2007 (PDT)Svits
I believe that, and don't get me wrong, Arya would make a great Rider, but the new Rider will probably be someone that wasn't so easily expected. Think about, no one really expected Morzan to be Eragon's daddy at the end of Eldest, so it's quite possible that it could be someone new, or old and just unexpected (hey, maybe an old rider will get 2 eggs, just kidding.)-Vanillaface
Actually my friend and I did, or at least we expected something of the kind. (I know you were probably generalizing)--Svits 19:50, 13 April 2007 (PDT)Svits
i can understand that, but i'm still goin for the someone somehow related to Eragon.-Bacon
I know it said that Selena was Eragon and Murtagh's mom, but it never confirmed that Morzan was Eragon's father although it did confirm that morzan was murtagh's father.I think that brom is eragons father, and no faolin was not arya's child but he was her boyfirend (mate, love, whatever)-Rbwhs
i agree with you about brom, because you can lie in the AL as long as you believe it's true. and i just said that it was a thought, not fact.-Bacon
I actually normally strongly dislike Arya (and we are talking borderline hatred here) but all the stuff about Arya being mean to Eragon and all because she actually likes him kind of makes sense. I do believe Arya will be Greeny's Rider, because she is already trained. I still kind of dislike Arya though, because she totally strung Eragon along with the whole 'wiol ono' thing and all the little tantalizing things. It was obvious he would fall for her, and she should have been stronger in making her feelings 'no' understood before she went off and said that she would search for Murtagh just for Eragon!!! -Hot Elf Babe
i dont really like eragon (the person not the book)he is a bit stuck up I also think that Brom is eragons Dad or at least i hope so-saphira
I believe that the Arya is already been in love with another elf whom she had known for a while, Faolin. He is persumed KIA when he and Arya tried to steal the dragon eggs from Galbatorix. However, he MAY be still alive and being tortured as it seems that there is no REAL proof that Faolin is dead. But the real question is that IF he is alive, why is Galbatorix keeping him alive. There are two awnsers i can think of.1.Galbatorix is trying to gain information about the elven lands from Faolin, or 2. is that the green dragon hatched for him before Galbatorix killed him. Seeing that the elf can be of use to him, Galbatorix probably is torturing Faolin to serve him. This is only a hypothesis, since Murtagh already knew the gender of the 3rd egg (which would mean that it would of had to hatch). But what would really cuase problems if Faolin ends up serving Galbotrix, since then Eragon would have to deal with three dragon riders at once. I only have 2 ways for Faolin to end up joining Galbotrix: a. he can't stand the torture anymore b.when Arya gets captured by Durza, Faolin willingly pledges his fealty to the mad king for the safety of the elf he loves. However, IF(since this whole thing is only a geuss, if Faolin is even a live or a dragon rider is still questionalbe, but if everything until now is true, then he can simply escape like Murtagh did) he does end up serving Galbotrix, it would be very bad for Eragon, since his dragon would be the eldest of the three eggs(being born roughly 30 years before Saphira if my giuesses are right) and presumably the most powerful and experienced of the current riders(next to Galbotrix himself or Oromis in his prime).But that would make him TOO strong, infact the only way for him to be free of Galbotrix(and defeated) is to kill himself. The only way I think that this will happens is if he sees what a monster he has become under Galbotrix and begs Eragon to kill him(since death is the only way to escape servitude in the ancient langauge, however Murtagh scoffed at the idea of dieing for the sake of others, this may or may not be an effect of the spell, for Murtagh was born cold and sadistic, yet Foalin's character may be different. Yet, in the end, as most books, the hero(Eragon) always gets what he wants (in this case Arya) so Foalin will HAVE to die, either by the Varden or the Empire (depending on which side he fights for). That is a cruel joke by Christopher Paolini...................
=YES! BUUUUUUUTTTT......
Are we all forgetting that Angela foretold that Arya's and Eragon's relationship WOULD NOT last AT ALL!!!!???!! ==Editor
To really long guy. I believe it mentions Faolin as being one of her guards, it says they both fell dead pierced by many of the urgals arrows (not a quote, but both died by arrows). To "Editor", it says "An epic romance is in your future, extraordinary, as the moon indicates--for that is a magical symbol--and strong enough to outlast empires. I cannot say if this passion will end happily, but your love is of noble birth and heritage. She is powerful, wise, and beautiful beyond compare. (Eragon 205)" It never says he won't.... just that Angela can't tell. AFM
I wanna know ask some people about if Christopher Paolini ever mentioned a thing about human-elf hybrids(Half-Elves),because i don't think he did mention dat.Anyway,in the first book,Eragon, Ajihad already clarified dat Faolin is dead."They foundher steed and guards slain in Du Weldenvardenand a group of slaughtered Urgals nearby."pg 599,Eragon-Eragon ShadeHunter
I also think that Arya will MOST LIKLEY be Eragons lover and rider of the green dragon. As I have read the book several times the only way I think another rider could come to be is if Paolini made a new character. Sorry I dont have the page numbers. (Elvensmith)
I think Brom's love is Selena, so that would mean he would be Eragon's father. ~MoonMaiden
Maybe Angela might be the next rider. She has green magic. ~MoonMaiden
it never says what color Angela's magic is-Leon
Once again the mighty Leon makes me uncofused. AFM
I can't picture Angela as a rider. -Svits
Neither can i. She just doesn't seem the part, if that makes any sense.--Eragon Shadeslayer 09:27, 11 August 2007 (PDT)
I can't picture her as a rider either and yes it does make sense ESS. --Icefire101 08:20, 9 October 2007 (PDT)Icefire
thank you --ES
Hey, guys, Look at Eragon, page 4. It actually says that she has emerald magic. I am almost 100% certain that she will get the green dragon. Look at the similarities: Eragon has a blue dragon and blue magic. Arya has green magic, so chances are that she will get the green dragon. It's that much more likely. --Meggie
That's actually a really good theory... -Henroast 11:32, 5 November 2007 (PST)
sorry to say, but that has been brought up on many occasions already, and at best it is foreshadowing that she will get the green dragon. thought im not sure why im saying this, because that is the theory that i agree with the most-Leon
SERIOUSLY! Eragon being in love with Arya, and Arya obviously has some secret feelings for him, makes it all the more reason for them to NOT, I repeat NOT, to get together! C'mon! Thats a little too obvious. But I do think that Arya will be the rider of the green dragon. I do totally agree with the few posts before. So there ya go. Thats my little rant. --Anna
i think Islanzadi will die, ajihad(human leader)and hrothgar(dwarf leader)are both dead, don't you think the leader of the elves(islanzadi)will die?and arya will most likly be the third rider.ALthough it is unclear if she will reciprocate eragon's love.sad,really.so many people have to die just because of one dedluded tyrant.and any way,ARYA AND SAPHIRA ROCKS!!!!-rinphie
I would be interested in the story if Arya and Eragon would go together. Also, I don't think Arya will be the next rider not just because she's got EMERALD magic, but because Christopher Paolini spends so much time talking about Arya. Not to be forceful, but it would make a nice 'happily ever after' if Arya becomes the next rider and she bonds with Eragon. I can imagine her on green; I DREAM of her on a green dragon.-Megzie
please don't kill me, but i remember someone saying something a long time ago, that if arya is the next rider, then her and eragon would fall in love because eragon's love would make saphira love the green dragon, but maybe they wouldn't because arya being mad at eragon and not loving him like he loves her, she would shape her dragon to not want to be with saphira, which would mean that eragon wouldn't get to be with arya. just a thought.-ES
Ok. Firstly. Arya is the most likely prospect to be the next Rider. I'm pretty sure Faolin is dead, and even if he wasn't, things might get awkward if he becomes the next rider, because Saphira will obviously mate with Greeny. While Arya will almost undoubtably fall for Eragon, it will not happen until Galby is dead and their duties are less important. They both know they have work to do before any type of hook-up. I don't think she'll be captured, because she was captured earlier, in Eragon. More likely Saphira, since she hasn't had anything bad happen to her yet. BUT, if this happens, she will be forced to mate with Thorn or Shruikan, which would be a good twist but might cause problems later on. Anyway, back to the point. If Arya if captured, it would be really repetetive and bad writing. I also think she felt strongly for Faolin, although Arya does tend to hide emotion, so it is impossible to know if she loved him. Still, she might consider it an insult to his memory to end up with Eragon. Like, if your boy/girlfriend died so you could save something that could keep your race alive, then you fell in love with the person it got to, would you not feel kinda weird about it? Only CP will tell, i guess. -Moderndayrider
arya takes eragons hand during the bloodoath ceremony...before he gets changed...just a thought.
Murtagh says Saphira is the only female of the three eggs, so the last egg already has a rider! - faith
Okay, I reread that part it says "ÃÂThe dragon inside Galbatorix'ÃÂs last egg, the last dragon egg in the world, is male" He says inside so maybe it's still inside the egg? If it is how did Galbatorix find out it's a male? With magic? - faith
i'm guessing it has something to do with the color of the dragon. like you would you want to be a sapphire and be male???-ES
But they don't say the colour of the egg, most people say it's green but they never really say anything in the book. Thanks anyways - faith
i dont know if they do or don't, cuz i don't remember, but CP said it was going to be green, so that's how we know.-ES
I believe that her magic foreshadows her being the rider of the green dragon. I also think/hope that she ends up with Eragon. Another theory: She won't admit her feelings for Eragon, even to herself, because she still misses Faolin and thinks she would dishonor his memory by being with Eragon. Please comment. --Claerwen, Rider of Argetia
well, its been a while, but i at least got a few new theories and ideas. First, why do so many people think Arya doesnt already like him. I personally think she does, but she doesnt want to tell him, or maybe she is in denial about it. As i'm typing this i am just realising that Claerwen just said the same thing. Anyway, i do think Arya will be the next rider, but i have to say something. Some of you think if the next rider were male, and Saphira mated w/greeny, that would cause Eragon to feel that way toward the male rider. Why? Why would he, at most they'd probably be best friends till they die or something. also, i do think smething will happen between Eragon/Arya before the end of the war, but thats just because of a few theories i have( that i also have no proof for beyond intuition and reasoning).oh well, this has gone on a bit long for getting practically nowhere-Leon
In response to Claerwen, Rider of Argetia's theory two entries ago. Correct if I'm wrong but the whole 'Arya and Faolin' theory was never proved in the books but in Eldest Oromis explains to Eragon that if Arya were to have feelings for Eragon then she wouldn't show them out of fear it would distract him from his training so i dont think that your theory has much in the text to prove that it is right or even possible.-Nar Garzhvog
well, theres no absolute proof, but what about Arya never talking about Faolin even when she's asked, even the mention of him sends her into solitude for a while. there is definatly plenty of circumstancial evidence, its all about what you make of it.-Leon
I think izlanzadi or whatever her name is will die, and arya becomes queen. therefore the INHERITANCE cycle!!!! hehhehehehe - awesome random guy
Everyone says the next egg is green, and Arya's main colour of magic is...you guessed it, green/emerald. She killed Urgals with an emerald ball, shattered Isidar Mithrim with an emerald ball, and lit their way in the darkness of Du Weldenvarden with and emerald ball of magic.- Anduril, Flame of the West
i think Arya has always loved eragon and she knows it in her heart, but she denies it even to herself because she believes its wrong for them to have a relationship like that. She probably is the new rider and Eragon's dream will come true. I also think that Izlanzadi will die at the end of book 3, but after Arya becomes a rider -Arya_Svit-Kona
I reckon this explains Eragon's dream about the two dragons and the boat and the elves. Faolin is still alive somehow like the person who wrote the really long bit, said, maybe he and Arya get together and escort Eragon to the land across the sea. Then they leave 'cause they want to go back to Du Weldenvarden. The two dragons in the sky could be Saphira and a wild dragon.-Square'ead
I'm almost positive Eragon gets with Arya in the fourth book, seeing as their relationship gets closer in the third, but I think Roran's going to be the third Rider. He's always trying to use majic in the third book, he's become a very major character, and if he was a rider, that means Murtagh, Eragon, and Roran, all of whom are related, would become riders. Please let Eragon get with Arya.-Loser
How quickly did arya rush off to try and save eragon - she must love him- arya_drottning
If Izlanzdi dies in the fourth book, then Arya and Eragon cannot ever be together because Eragon has to leave Alagaesia forever, and Arya would be the queen of the Elves. And if Arya becomes the last Dragon rider, would it make sense for both of the Dragon riders to leave Alagaesia in a state of chaos? - Drizzt Do'Urden
Drizzt Do'Urden- I must contradict the bit in your post where you said that if Islanzadi were to die Arya would have to be the queen. In Eldest, page 309, Arya says to Eragon, "...I would not be required to become queen if I found the prospect distasteful. We do not choose leaders who are unwilling to devote themselves wholeheartedly to their oblingations." AKA, if Arya doesn't want to be queen she doesn't have to. - Shurtugal of Scorch
If arya becomes a rider will eragon and saphira have to train her?
I don't think they would, because she already knows tons about magic and the AL, so i think that she wouldn't hardly need any traning.-ES
she would need to know secrets of the dragon riders and the dragon would need to be trained but i hate the idea of her being a rider. although the idea of eragon and arya seam more likely after book #3. but alot has to be explained in this next book and alot of battles must take place, for arya to b a rider and do any effect they would have to steal teh egg before attacking galbys castle, a while before. -guau mi fuerza
Have none of you ever thought that another lady could be the 3rd dragon rider or maybe Roran? -Drakmist
Yes, we have, but this page is about theories of Arya, so that's why we keep on talking about Arya as the next rider.-ES
I know that this is about Arya but pertaining to who is going to be the next dragon rider, I think it would be Roran. I would be fitting to have the last 3 dragon rider's all be related. Also, CP is kind of really stressing Roran trying to learn magic the same way Eragon started. His magic abilities will probably progress if the egg hatches for him. I know that Roran's magic wouldnt be as great as Eragon's or Galbatorix's but his cunning and foresight would make up for that. Besides, with him and Eragon teamed up, Roran could be the brain while eragon is the brawn. (Anny)
Oromis said, though, that Angela's prophecies cannot be trusted, so I believe that Angela's prophecies may be only partly true. I think Eragon may fall in love with Nasuada because she is royal, to a point. -Next Dragon Rider
