Aaaand now the trials!

-

Isla

The next morning I readjusted my necklace my mother had given me before she died. A messenger had showed me a letter from my mum and dad, saying that they won’t make it back home. Well, this was obviously when I was seven.

My babysitter didn’t want to take care of me for the rest of his life, so he handed me over to the orphanage. Though that night I escaped the orphanage and out of The Hidden World with Indigo, and after hours of flying on the Scuttleclaw, I found my mother, still alive but dying. She couldn’t make it. So she gave me her necklace she always wears. It was the shape of a dragon, a Night Fury. And it just happened to be when my mother had fully passed, I found Midnight.

But I’ll never forget the last words she told me.

''“Here, Isla. This is for you. Keep this with you and then your father and I will always be with you. Always. I love you, Isla. But go. I’ll be fine, because I’ll be with you every step of the way. R-run, Isla. I-I…love…y-you…”''

I shook my head. No time for flashbacks now, Isla, I thought to myself. I entered the trials area with Inferno for the, what, was it fifth time? I don’t know. I couldn’t think properly because of, one, Michael and his descendants. And two, those stupid flashbacks.

And now three, the next, final trial.

“Your task is quite simple, well for me anyway. But before we can begin the trial, I need all of you to bring me something you treasure the most. I give you half an hour to return with something. If you don't return, or return with nothing, you're disqualified!" Freygair shouted out. I shrugged. Something I treasure the most is definitely my necklace. It means everything to me. It holds two lives with me.

My mother and my father.

I took of my necklace and handed it to Freygair, and my necklace was now put onto a small tree trunk. I was sort of now regretting giving Freygair one of the MOST important things in my life other than my dragons. Though when he mentioned what we have to do, I was fully regretting giving the necklace to Freygair.

Defend it.

“Aww, can’t I change it?” I whined to Freygair.

He shook his head. “No, and if I was you, I would—”

“Duck, duck, I know,” I interrupted, and ducked. A highly trained Viking jumped over me and crashed into the ground and I smirked. OK, shouldn’t be THAT bad, I thought. The man threw a punch at me but I sidestepped it. ''Alright! Maybe a little bit bad! ''My opponent lunged at my necklace and I felt a rage of fury. Oh no you don’t! I lunged too, at the Viking, and tackled him. I pinned him to the ground and stood up, keeping my foot on him.

“Uuuh…” the Viking groaned. I smirked again.

“What? Haven’t got tackled by a fifteen year old girl before, old man?” I joked and laughed.

The opponent laughed too. “Well, you obviously haven’t noticed I’m going easy, girl.” That’s when I stopped laughing. I grabbed the Viking up by the shirt until we were face to face.

“Easy going? Is that an excuse?” I said as I threw him into Jack.

“ISLA!” Jack shouted.

“JACK! HI! HOW’S IT GOING!?” I sarcastically shouted back, purposely distracting him. Freygair said I finished and I went off. My opponent was looking confused and embarrassed, and I got my necklace back. I kissed it. “Hey, mum and dad.” Inferno and I left the area, only to come across the one and only important descendant.

Michael.
