The Rule of Galbatorix

Everyone has dreamed of the same fantasy, of a time where there where nights in shining armor, a princess locked in the highest room of the tallest tower, and a land where dragons where either feared monsters or beloved companions. In the four book series by Christopher Paolini known mostly as the Eragon series. To quickly summarize such an enormous series, there is an evil ruler known as Galbatorix who was suppose to be the last dragon rider, is the ruler of all the land. But a secret dragon egg hatched to a young man named Eragon who raised it to become a fully grown dragon. Now Eragon must help the rebels, known as the Varden, overthrow the evil king's rule and start a new world where people don't have to live in fear. But the question is, will Eragon be able to defeat Galbatorix? Who will survive their battle? The reasons why it is so hard to tell if Eragon could defeat Galbatorix are like balanced on a scale, they pretty much even it out perfectly. You want to think that Eragon could win, that good will always triumph over evil, and spread light throughout the world were darkness thrived. But when you see how strong Galbatorix is, given that all the dragons he killed to become the king, and stealing their heart of hearts, which makes the person who has it even stronger. Galbatorix killed somewhere around one hundred dragons and taking their heart of hearts which made him even more stronger. The man has been living for over two hundred years! And he's still going strong! He uses magic to keep him young and strong, and also the fact that his dragon is the size of my school, when Eragon's dragon is somewhere between one half or even a fourth that size. It really does seem that evil would win this fight... From looking at all the facts, I honestly believe that Eragon will not win. That he will be killed, but in the last seconds before his death either he or a third person will hit Galbatorix with a blow so strong that it slowly kills him. I think either that or that Galbatorix would kill Eragon's dragon, and right after Eragon would kill him. I'm not quite sure because I'm not too far into the book and there are numerous ways this book could end, but if I had to pick, it would be one of those two. Whatever the outcome will be, I'm excited to read all the way to the end and find out.
