## Resource

Will we ever meet this red dragon? Diego returns to join Lucy and Darien for reunions and big reveals in Eldest chapter 68, “Convergence,” chapter 69, “Eldest,” chapter 70, “Inheritance,” and chapter 71, “Reunion.” Talking points include Roran being able to pull off all the one-liners, the most spectacular freefall, Murtagh’s dramatic return, Eragon not thinking about his supposedly dead friend for literally half the book, Roran’s big dramatic scene being in another POV, and embarrassing childhood confession, and what it means to be family. Content Warning: This episode contains mention of suicide, sexual violence, blood, violence, and death in relation to war. Sparks of Inspiration Diego is inspired by Kayla of https://twitch.tv/kaleisblue to write his own book! Darien was inspired (and made depressed) by Jennifer Saint's mythology retellings. Lucy made an excellent breakthrough on her Geode!
