| Re: Eragon I don't think it specifies how un-Impressed hatchlings die. Here's the relevant passage from Dragonseye/Red Star Rising:
"Early on, the records mentioned five occasions when a
dragonet had not found a compatible personality. Its subsequent death
had upset the Weyr to the point where every effort was then made to
eliminate a second occurrence, including accepting the dragonet's choice
from among spectators."
I always thought they died of starvation without going between, which would be extremely painful to watch happen. |
