Two days had past and Aurora was growing very nervous. The king should have brought Cyril back by now. What had happened to him? Why wasn't he being returned to her? The king was evil but she never knew him to break a promise.
Suddenly, a crack of thunder roared and Eragon, who was under Saphira's wing to keep out of the rain, jumped in surprise.
Are you scared of the thunder little one? Saphira teased.
No! It just…surprised me. I am worried about Cyril. How could he be part dragon?
That is a question that I do not have an answer to young one. I've asked Aurora but she says it is a secret between her and Cyril.
Suddenly, a man came into view through the downpour. He was accompanied by an extremely large dragon with happened to be Shruikan.
Cyril! Aurora cried.
The blue dragon shot out into the rain and pulled Cyril off of Shruikan's back, completing ignoring the king.
Did he hurt you?
To Aurora's surprise, she didn't receive an answer. Cyril slid off her back and turned his back to her.
Don't do that to me Cyril. I hate it when you ignore me.
"You have your boy back, for now. I have business to attend to so Shruikan will make sure you don't try anything." The king said as he left the group.
Aurora, has Cyril spoken to you? Shruikan asked.
No, and it's beginning to worry me. Cyril, get under my wing. You are already soaked.
Once again, she was ignored and Cyril simply stared at her from outside of the dragon hold. Suddenly, he jumped into the air and pulled himself onto the roof of the dragon hold.
Cyril! No!
Aurora leapt out into the rain and looked up to see Cyril perched on the tip of the building.
Cyril, get down! There is a thunderstorm if you haven't noticed!
Aurora, what is he doing? Saphira asked. I've never seen him ignore you like this.
He is testing me. He believes that I will let him get into danger and won't stop him.
Suddenly, Eragon ran from Saphira's side and pulled himself onto the roof.
Eragon!
Saphira walked out into the rain and saw Eragon walking towards Cyril. Slowly, Eragon approached the boy and reached out his hand. With each step Eragon took, Cyril took one back.
"Cyril!" Eragon yelled over the pouring rain and wind. "Grab my hand!"
Upon hearing this, Cyril glared at Eragon and held on leg over the side of the building, daring Eragon to come any closer.
Fearing for Cyril's life, Eragon grabbed the boy's arm and pulled him back to what you might call safety.
As Eragon's hand made contact with Cyril's, something triggered in Cyril's mind. He jumped off the side of the building, pulling Eragon down with him.
