Heir of Two Gods

'Huh? An inheritance?' Minos was surprised to hear this as he looked at the dragon's body next to him while still holding the axe over his body as if he had been frozen that way. 'Your test was to take the weapon from where it was?'

'Wrong!' A voice rose in Minos' heart. 'This weapon was left in this area by one of my descendants. The real test was to show your essence and your compatibility with me.

Taking the weapon from where it was would not in itself entitle you to my inheritance. But you, young human, demonstrated something that reminded me of myself.'

Minos looked into the creature's eyes and sensed that it was related to the energy he had acquired over the years by stealing the powers of the giant bones in the Spatial Kingdom.
