How To Find Your Inheritance [Discontinued]

1. What Happened Before

She hugged him back tightly and felt like crying. "You don't need to make it up to me, you've done enough by letting me stay here to see your beautiful baby boy be born." She whispered softly. "It's going to be me who will make it up to you Eret."

Once they had decided who would go to catch dragons and deliver them to Drago, Eret, Kierra, their baby and Eret's crew were soon on their way to their boss' fort. And lucky for them they had a good wind to get them there. Kierra decided to be out on the deck with the baby so he could get some sunlight and so Eret could keep an eye on them. As Eret was issuing orders to the others, Kierra saw the two dragons that were at the fort earlier that day.

"Eret, your 'friends' from earlier are heading this way." She said tugging on his vest to get his attention.

Eret quickly grabbed Kierra and pulled her into the cabin of the ship. "Stay in the cabin and don't come out till I give the word." He said, closing the door behind him tightly.

Kierra waited in the cabin for what seemed like hours. And the only thing that was making her feel pretty frustrated was that she couldn't hear what those riders and Eret were saying. After a while, she heard more dragon roars and some thumps and began to feel worried.

"Come on, open!" She groaned when she pushed at the door to open it. Must have been locked from the outside. "WHO THE HELL PUTS A LOCK ON THE OUTSIDE OF A DOOR?!" She yelled before clamping her mouth shut, remembering that her son was asleep in the room.

She cursed under hear breath and paced the room wondering what to do. The baby was asleep so he wasn't bothered by any of the noises from outside or from the inside of the cabin. Soon she heard more yells and finally everything was silent. She waited for a few minutes and tried opening the door again. Frustrated, she tried kicking it.

"OPEN YOU DAMN PIECE OF WOOD!" She yelled as the door suddenly swung open and her foot made contact with Eret's chest. "Oh my gods I am so sorry!" She gasped when he doubled over in pain.

"No it's fine, doesn't hurt as much as my head." Eret assured her when he stood up and rubbed the top of his head and winced.

"What happened?" she gasped.

"I got shoved in the face, hit with a mace, and sat on by a dragon." He answered rubbing his head. Kierra went over and touched the sore spot on the top of his head and he yelped before pulling away from her touch. "That still hurts Kierra!"

"Well your yells just woke the baby." She scolded as the baby started to cry. She walked back to the bed where the baby laid crying and picked him up.

"Let me calm him down." Eret said, taking the baby from her arms and began to gently bounce him up and down. Within a few moments, the baby soon quieted down. "There you go, handsome boys like you shouldn't cry like that." He said handing the baby back to his mother.

"I got so worried. You didn't have to close the door on me." Kierra said when the baby was placed in her arms.

"If they saw you and you did what you can do, then they would have probably taken you." Eret said placing a hand on her shoulder as he guided her back to the bed and sat down with her.

Kierra looked down at the floor in shame, unsure what do say. Would those strangers have tried taking her? Or would they have ran away in fear the way so many others had and come back for her screaming ugly names? And what of her baby? What if he had the same powers as her? She felt a hand under her chin and lift and turn her head to see Eret giving her a concerned look.

"Don't fret Kierra, I promise you that after all this is over we will both work this whole being a parent thing out." He said brushing a strand of hair from her face and tucking it behind her ear.

"Promise?" She asked, placing her hand on his that rested on her cheek.

"I promise."

"ERET SON OF ERET!"

Kierra's eyes snapped open when she heard Ug yell Eret's name. She heard the other trappers screaming and she hurried outside to see one of the dragon riders on a Deadly Nadder toss Eret into the air.

"No!" She screamed as they flew off. She dropped down on her knees and felt herself grow bigger when she stopped. "No...no I can't risk them seeing me like this...I can't let them take him but I can't risk them see me either..."

"What do we do?" Tiny asked frantically as he tried picking up the ice blocks he had dropped. "We have no idea where they are going?"

"Kierra?" Kierra lifted her head up to see the three trappers looking at her in worry.

"We...we proceed to Drago's fort." She answered as she began to shrink down to her normal size and stood up. "We'll try and capture some dragons, the fort is only half a day away from here."

"But what about Eret?" No- Name asked.

"We'll worry about him later." Kierra responded. "What were those riders doing here on this ship earlier?"

The crew explained that the boy on the black dragon, which was a Night Fury, and the girl on the Nadder had came to be taken to Drago to talk some sense into him. They had barely been in the cages for a few minutes before some other riders had came to collect the other two. Eret of course had gotten shoved to the floor and clonked on the head and got sat on by a Hotburple as a man on a Rumblehorn was arguing with the Night Fury boy.

"And then he just flew off and the Rumblehorn man ordered the other riders to leave back to an island called Berk." Ug finished. "Do you think they took him to go to Drago?"

"Perhaps so, but the one riding the Night Fury was not with them, right?" Sierra asked as she paced the deck.

"Well no, but I doubt he'd be there at Drago's fort."

"Then we continue to set sail to the fort, most likely they would be there."

"Setting sail for the fort then."

As the three men began to raise the sail, Kierra heard her son crying from inside of the cabin. She excused herself and hurried back into the cabin to find him crying loudly.

"Oh hush now little one. It's alright, I'm right here. Mama is here." Kierra cooed as she picked him up and began rocked him side to side. His cries soften and he looked at her with his little hazel colored eyes. He had Eret's eyes.

A pang of sadness hit her like a hammer when she realized that Eret would never get to see his son grow up, and he would never know his child's name.

"You will grow to be a fine young man like your father my little one." She whispered as she cradled her son and stroked his soft pink cheeks. "But you need a name. I would name you after your father but that would be quite confusing. I have the perfect name for you. You shall be named Eragon, after my great, great grandfather's cousin, and all will know you as Eragon son of Eret."
