either that or in the final battle eragon will hesitate to kill shruikan because he knows that he isn't there under his own will and so will falter and get stabbed or something, but you know not die.
defeat doen not mean kill though
theoretically, eragon could defeat galby, and then shrukan could kill him

or something like that...

wait... he did hunt the raz'zac... but those are evil
suppose galby does convince eragon he's the good guy, AFTER eragon free shruikan from his control, then eragons about to grant him mercy (and galby has a knife behind his back or something) THEN shruikan eats him. (im sorry i love that ending, it's like shrek) or if you want to be lame and say that eragon has to do it, then shruikan could like warn him, or something
but i think shruikan has to take part in it somehow because there have to be consequences to taking someones dragon and making it your own
Yeah. I think that, after they go through everything, Eragon will release Glaedr, at his request.
But he wouldn't be killing them. They're already dead, it's their souls (I think) that are in the heart of hearts, so like Katie said, they won't feel any physical pain. Wouldn't you want to be released after sitting there as nothing more than a thought for thousands of years? Being able to do nothing, only communicating, that is, if you could.



if the dragon is released, it is differnet from killing it(in eldunari form)
both types wud involve smashing, but releasing it is whree it wants to be no more, killing it is where it wants to stay.

They are the same thing! By "killing" the eldunari, you're releasing the dragon's soul from inside. Technically, you're not even killing it. The dragon is already dead, it's just a piece of the dragon (soul, or whatever you wish to call it) that that's basically preserved for all eternity until someone smashes/destroys the eldunari, releasing that part of the dragon from inside.

if i walk up to someone in the street who WANTS to die and kill him, thats not murder, if the dude doent want to its murder

So you're saying that if Glaedr does'nt want to die or be smashed *wink* it would be killing? If he wanted to, then it's releasing or freeing?
I disagree. In this case, they are the same thing. Plus, who'd want to live forever and ever inside a tiny object, having no control over anything? Being able to do nothing.

Lol, I don't think the police would listen to that arguement...
And I agree with Tara: Killing and releasing an Eldunari is the same thing. If you kill it, you release it, and vice versa. But if you release it against the dragon's will and wish, it would be a murder, because it's morally wrong. However, it's still releasing it.
murder uis where you kill omeone and are intending to kill them]
it would be assisted sucide actually though
