Snail Vanquisher Quote by Christopher Paolini
““Eragon waited several minutes to be sure it was gone before he returned to clearing the rubble. "Maybe i should just call myself Snail Vanquisher," he muttered as he rolled a section of a pillar across the courtyard. "Eragon Shadeslayer, Vanquisher of Snails…I would strike fear into the hearts of men wherever I went.””
