Chapters 4-5

This week I read chapters 4-5, Divergence and Rider and Ra’zac. I left off last time just when Eragon opened the cell and revealed Sloan. He had been sleeping and was awoken by Roran trying to free Katrina. When he opens his eyes…there aren’t any, the Ra’zac pecked his eyes out. So now Eragon has a problem. He’s debating whether to kill Sloan or let him live. He reasons that if he let him live the town’s people would just kill him because he is a traitor. So he can’t bring him back. He could also just kill him right now and say he found him dead. But he can’t bring himself to do that because he is Katrina’s dad and because all heroes are pushovers. He decides on a dangerous plan to do I don’t know what and proceeds to release Katrina from her chains and Eragon tells her that her dad is dead. Eragon tells Roran and Katrina to ride Sapphira back to camp while he looks for the Ra’zac as he says. Reluctantly all three leave and Eragon is alone in the cave. At first Eragon tries to make a deal with the remaining Ra’zac, but it eventually turns into a fight and Eragon kills the Ra’zac. Now he goes to get Sloan. First he puts a sleeping spell on him then lifts him onto his back. He descends a cliff with Sloan and that pretty much ends the chapter. Till next time.
