Dear Christopher Paolini, I am currently writing a fan-fiction of Eragon (I say this hesitantly not knowing your stance) and I realized that I might need some more words in the ancient language. It might just be me who writes (or tries to) full on dictionaries for her stories that have made up languages, but you wouldn't happen to have written a full dictionary of the ancient language? Thanks! -Michelle

Hello, Michelle! No, I don't have a full dictionary of the ancient language but here is a link to all of the words I've created so far: https://www.paolini.net/writers-corne....

Christopher Paolini:
This has bothered me for a long time: when Galbatorix steals his second dragon and kills it's original rider, why doesn't the dragon die? Isn't it supposed to die when the rider dies? And was Shruiken's natural color black, or did it change when he was twisted to serve the evil king?

Hi Christopher! On page 558 of Inheritance, when Eragon, Saphira, and Glaedr are in the vault of souls, there's a line that goes something like 'Eragon reached down and touched a gold and red egg, about 5 feet high' so, can dragons be multiple colours? Would the size of the egg when laid (5 vs 1 feet) affect the size of the hatchling inside? Will it continue to affect them their whole life, or would growth even out?
