Eldest
Eragon right now is training in the forest with the elves. He is not nearly as good as them. They are faster and stronger than him. He is constantly loseing to a cocky young elf and one day he lost it. After he was beaten he used his magic to fling the elf across the training area and said. "Better not to mess with someone who is better than you at magic." He is getting more and more impatient. He is so mad that he says to Saphira that he is done trying.

This is changed when they meet up with a very special person. The only other dragon rider he has met. The old rider Galbatorix is beaten down and tired. He convinces him to keep training. He is training with the rider in magic and the elves with sword fighting. He is now always exausting and running out of energy. However Saphira has taken a liking to the older more mature dragon Glaedr. Eragon is finding that Saphira is constantly distracted and not taking the training as seriously as need be.
