The Inheritance A Black Fantasy Dragon Adventure! Book I Of II

Meeting at House Firestone

Chapter 21

Dragon's landed on the great lawn in front of Castle Firestone from all directions. Once the riders dismounted they walked inside to join the meeting. It was exciting because it been over ten years since an emergency town hall meeting of riders was called. Academy riders were invited to assist graduated riders prepare for the quest.

Jakar dismounted his dragon stepping on  Idris' patio within his bedroom wing.

When Jakar stepped inside Idris was dressing in his rider attire.

What do you want Jakar? Idris refusing to look at him. Ahmad summoned me to assist in the shadow land  slayings at first light.

After you ruined Lividia's welcome home party and the coming out of her grandaughter?

Once again Idris over stepping your boundaries Lividia is my wife and Samira my child. By my blood right I  present Samira to Etharkia not you.

Jakar! Be sensible who will accept invite from you who wiped out and killed every waterstone from here to the shadow lands. You  killed distant relatives of waterstone anyone who could care for the eggs you had them murdered including babies and children.

The streets ran red with the blood of our family sacred family destined to care for the eggs. This is your fault Jakar had you not killed every waterstone this side of the mirror dragon eggs would be in house Waterstone since house Doublestone is under enchantment.

Are you finished Idris? Jakar clapped helping himself to Idris' blood ale. Tell me Idris you've alway's been a fool what research did you do to validate your claim that the red blood slaying's had anything to do with me? Humm? He asked eating a  date.

All road's pointed to you Jakar? It was easier for you to write me off Idris so you could steal Lividia! Idris knocked the pitcher on the floor. You aimed to make Lividia your concubine a slut or a whore when she was already promised to be my Queen Idris.

You had Rachelle that is who was arranged to be yours but because she wasn't a waterstone beauty and house Airstone women are not naturally beautiful, graceful or charming you tried to steal my bride Lividia.

The love Lividia and I shared you couldn't stand! You despised seeing her happy with me. Even after we had a child---

Without ceremony may I add Jakar. Who need's a ceremony when her name was attached to mine the day she exited her mother's womb cousin?

Lividia was and is my wife that is why her name was not stricken or removed by the Elders as the rightful heir to Waterstone when I confessed she carried our child because we were already married you fool!

Why do you think these laws were put in place by the Elders and founder's of Etharkia Idris? To assure the protection of the bloodlines knowing dragon blood makes us hot and we have sex early so to avoid mishaps and scandal they arrange our marriages from birth you know this Idris, or do I need remind you Ahmad was not born one month premature but right in schedule at nine month's?

I'm warning you Idris stay away from Lividia this time I won't let thing's sway in your favor and everyone will know the truth about you and Rachelle including Lividia.

Idris stared at Jakar I'm in love with Lividia alway's have and alway's will be Jakar.

Then you shall love my wife from a far Idris are we clear cousin? Idris walked out the room ignoring the threat of his younger cousin.

Jakar entered the rider's meeting the older riders greeted him with hugs happy to see him. The younger ones kept their distances and the middle ages ones glanced on with dirty looks but stayed their comments because he was a Firestone born prince and technically next in command of anything happened to Idris until Ahmad turned 18 and could toss them in jail for disrespect.

Rachelle stared at Jakar from a far he looked up seeing her looking in the door at him.

The meeting went well the men mapped out a plan how they would enter the shadow lands to kill the demons their hope was to kill five hundred per day for seven day's straight that would get the demons back down to a manageable number backing them up to their side of Etharkia.

The men drank coffee staying away from Ale and alchohol Toy stepped to Jakar.

Jakar hugged Toy long time old friend walk with me. Jakar and Toy walked the halls of Firestone Jakar stopped looking at his daughter's portrait. Toy passed him kleenex Samira is her twin is she not Jakar?

It's as if the ancestors returned her to me once more. Does she know you are her true blood related grandfather Jakar? Not yet Toy I'm not ready for the questions about her mother if that makes sense? It does Jakar.

Sometimes I wish you could if married my daughter Toy oh how I tarried and begged for them to allow you her hand. Toy tapped Jakar's shoulder a situation I nor my family shall ever forget a high Prince of Etharkia petitioning for a blue blood to marry a royal.

Toy scoffed smiling recalling the time. I must've made the paper every day for a year.

Haha I recall oh how she loved you Toy she said papa you tried thank you. When I saw Samira I almost blacked out Jakar I have a question when are you going tell the truth about the red blood slayings Jakar?

Keep your voice down Toy do you still have everything? I do you know I could never go against you Jakar. Thank you Toy when the time is right you'll be the first to know.

Thank you Jakar. How is your wife? Well thank you. The children? Well waiting to see Uncle Jakar again and dying to meet Samira.

I'm having a small dinner at the house nothing big for Samira and Lividia I'll make sure you get the invite family only so be there Toy. Yes Prince Jakar.

Ahmad? He turned to see Rhya standing behind him. Is it official are you marrying Samira? If she will have me yes. Three weeks ago you said you'd marry me. I said if things went bad between my intended and I I'd marry you I alway's made that clear Rhya. 

Ahmad left the room to call Samira at house Waterstone. Rhya sat in a corner crying Rachelle walked in to her you don't need to cry young princess I can show you how to win over my son but you will have to follow my lead.

How can I compete against a blood born waterstone princess? They are like rare gems amd their beauty proceeds them my Queen.

Funny that's exactly what I said at your age yet I stand before you as Queen and well Lividia is Lividia she giggled wickedly.

If I chased one waterstone out of Etharkia it won't be nearly as hard to get rid of another.
