Ryker's POV
Two weeks have passed since my baby sister has risen from the dead and Viggo is not to be recognized. That little brat seemed to have brainwashed him. We won't hunt any more dragons he said. What nonsense, he is denying what we are, what our blood tells us to do. Dragon hunters thats who we are, who I am. Still Viggo has always been a sissy. It's all her fault, I should have weighed her and thrown her back into the sea in the first place. Nothing of this would have happened. She keeps ruining my life since the day she was born.
Deep in thought I was sitting in a tavern, already emptying my third mug of ale when a stranger stepped up to me, his face hidden beneath his cloak. Slowly I looked up and recognized who it was.
"What do you want?" I snorted.
"Ryker, what a pleasure to meet you here. I've heard of your recent family reunion. My congratulations, you must be overwhelmed by joy."
I grunted in disapproval.
The man chuckled lowly and sat down opposite of me.
"I've also heard your brother is reconsidering his ways of business. Very interesting indeed. How come the sudden change of heart?"
I thumped my mug on the table and growled: "That girl must have bewitched him. I always knew something was wrong with her."
"Now, now, that sounds not very good. But maybe I can help you. I've been looking for you."
That surprised me. "Why that?"
The man leaned forward. "I was always thinking that you would make the better chief, you have the strength and the passion about dragon hunting that your tribe needs. You always had my respect, master Ryker. Maybe we could be partners. One hand washes the other. So I would like to make you an offering."
"What kind of offering?" I was all ears.
The man spoke again, barely audible. "It just so happens that I know someone who would support me with enough gold and men to help you take over your tribe. I can make you chief. I trust, that you will not end hunting dragons?"
Hmm, I like where this is going. "No I would never. But what do you want in return for your help?"
He smiled wickedly. "Well that's simple really. I just want the girl."
I didn't expect that and frowned. "What for?"
He hummed lowly. "I know someone who has great interest in her. That's all you need to know. So do we have a deal?"
"What about Viggo?" I asked, not convinced. "He will protect the girl."
The man laughed darkly. "When my plan sets in there will be no more Viggo Grimborn."
He wants to kill him. Viggo and Lilly would both be gone for good and I can be chief. Still he is my brother...should I really do it?
But then a rush of memories of the past left my head spinning. Since the day Viggo embarrassed me at the competition to become chief, I walked in his shadow. Everyone was so proud of him...everyone loved him...no one would praise the things I did for my tribe. No all the glory always went to Viggo and his smart ideas... So? Why would I not want to betray him? Why would I not want to see him fall?
He will drag our whole tribe down for that little witch of my sister! No...now is the time for me to step out of my little brother's shadow...
"So do we have a deal?" the hooded man reached his hand out to me.
After one last hesitating moment I took it. "Deal."
AN: 😱😱 Uh oh.... Who do you think the stranger is?
