- Eragon speaks with Saphira telepathically, letting her know that they will be leaving soon. He's kind of bummed. He liked his time in Teirm. Still, he knows the life of a Rider can't be a normal one, what with the dragon and all.
- That night, he has a vivid dream in which he sees a young woman in a cell. She is crying a single tear.
