I've always been curious about this, and I have no idea if you have ever answered it before. What were the seven words that Brom told Eragon before he died?

(view spoiler)[In regard to the seven words of death, there is mention of one word in either Eldest or Brisingr. I tried to fit them into Inheritance, but no place felt right. Eragon doesn't use words to defeat Galbatorix, and the one place where it might have made sense to draw upon them (the hallway going into the throne room), Eragon uses what Oromis taught him about teleportation to defeat Galbatorix's traps. So, a long time ago I decided to address the seven words separately, in a short story aside from the main series, which I have yet to write. Eragon is going to live a very long time, and the events in the Inheritance cycle cover only the beginning of his life. (hide spoiler)]

Hi Chris. I just wanted to ask you if you like to travel? I'm hoping I'll have some good luck and maybe meet you sometime, since it's unlikely that you'll visit Croatia for a book promotion :) Otherwise, you made me and my dreams go wild while I was reading Eragon. One who indites a novel as young as you were, deserves incessant praise.

I have read the Inheritance Cycle about 4 times and I always find myself fascinated by Angela and wanting to know more. One thing I have always wanted is a trilogy dedicated to telling the story of Angela. I'm wondering what would be required to convince you to do so???? (I'm kidding. Sort of.)

I would love to see it properly done (the movie) or even if they can't do another movie it would be awesome if they do like a tv serie or something! And Would you let us know if they're going to remake it (because I would like to do an audition). 😊? Thank you for being such a good author, I just finished the inheritance cycle and... I can't believe it!! I loved all of it!! It is my favorite book!
