How To Find Your Inheritance [Discontinued]

15. What's Rightfully Mine

The eight riders prepared themselves as the stood at the edge of the cliffs. They stood there feeling anxious and nervous. They waited for someone to give them the signal to start the race.

Then they saw a jet of bright purple fire and a horn sound. The riders ran forward and leapt off the edge of the cliff. Lucky for them their dragons, who were perched on the sides of the cliff, flew after them and managed to catch them in time.

"That was close." Kierra said as she strapped herself down onto the saddle.

"Too close if you ask me." Moonfire grumbled. "I still hate it how you all decide to jump off the cliffs so we can catch you. You are all setting a bad example for your son and other future dragon riders."

"Oh hush up ya dumb lizard. Let's just focus on staying alive."

"Agreed." And with that, he flew on forward.

The objective of the games was to toss balls that were worth different points into the players baskets. The riders would use their magic to try and prevent the players from scoring. And the dragons would have to be fast to avoid the claws, tails and fire blasts of their winged opponents.

About twenty minutes into the game was when something strange began to happen. Kierra was winning so far and she was about to toss the ball into her basket when it flew out of her hands.

"Hey that's cheati-" she gasped when she saw a cloaked figure on the back of a black dragon holding her ball.

"Kierra it's him!" Moonfire hissed.

"It can't be! I thought we killed him with that glacier!"

"Looks like we didn't do a very good job at burying him and that annoying female dragon of his."

All of the players stopped and several other riders in the stands drew their swords.

"Who is that?" Astrid asked looking at Flora for an explanation.

"It must be him." She growled and her dragon hissed angrily.

"Mind explaining who he is?" Hiccup asked gripping Inferno.

"Someone who hurt Kierra a long time ago. He swore after she rejected him that she will be his. And nothing or no one will stop him."

"Oh I'll stop him. No one hurts Kierra and if they do, there will be a bloody mess." Eret said drawing his sword out but felt Flora grip his wrist.

"That's Eric Smoulderheart, Eret. He and his dragon Lunamist have been after Kierra and Moonfire for years after discovering what she can do. He wants to make a bloodline of dragon shifters. And she will be the one to bear them."

"So that means that Eragon could-"

"Yes Eragon could possibly have his mother's ability to transform into a dragon. But he wants to be the father of the children who she could bear. If he finds out about you and your son he will kill you both."

"I am not letting that madman take her from me. I spent three years believing that they were dead. And there is no way that I would let him force her have babies that she won't want."

"Umm Eret? Not to panic you but I think Kierra needs your help." Hiccup said tapping Eret's shoulder. Eret turned to see Kierra and Moonfire struggling. Moonfire was shaking his head wildly and Kierra was gripping on the saddle and having some sort of mental battle with Eric.

"Oh gods no." He quickly whistled for Skull Crusher and leapt onto his back.

"Eret no!" Astrid yelled as the Rumblehorn and his rider leapt from the stands.
