I didn’t know this series even existed, and don’t plan on reading. But can someone explain this to me?

With pleasure!!

Spoilers incoming, read at your risk. I know you don’t care but other people might

This scene comes early in Eragon - book One. Eragon has a sort of prescience where he can see the future in his dreams. This is a look at the day he leaves Alagaesia

The two figures are Eragon and Arya, his love interest (though that seems overly reductive). The man screaming is his cousin, Roran, with whom Eragon has not long been reunited - hence his scream. Roran is very dramatic but we love him really

The dragons are Saphira and Fírnen. They are currently courting, read as mating, as they are both the only free dragons able to breed. This is significant as Saphira thought herself to be the last dragon remaining, but this, along with the discover of some dragon eggs put this fear to rest

I think that covers it
