A world with a bumblebee in it is a world worth being in.

Darien and Lucy witness the end of the Ra’zac in Brisingr chapter five, “Rider and Ra’zac,” and chapter six, "To Walk the Land Alone.”

Talking points include major Kingdom Hearts vibes, a curse to set the future in zone, a life saving beauty of a bumblebee, Eragon making some interesting dietary exceptions, Sloan being the worst, Eragon being so much like Brom, and the rights of a Dragon Rider.

Content Warning: This episode contains reference to self-harm and suicide.
