## Resource

Why is a raven like a writing desk? Lucy and Darien get the band back together in Eldest chapter 62, “To Aberon,” chapter 63, “The Burning Plains,” and chapter 64, “The Clouds of War.” Talking points include fandom attempts to solve an unanswered riddle, the recent trend of mentioning Eragon's unknown father, a very cool setting for a final battle, Eragon showing off his new powers, a hug that didn't happen, clocking Eragon's continued nonsense regarding Arya, ANGELA OUR LOVE, and the hosts cementing themselves as Trianna Defenders. Sparks of Inspiration Darien reflects on all the places that inspired her during her European vacation. Lucy was inspired by her favorite streamer to start playing Pokémon Leaf Green!
