Hi people, I've hit major writing wall on my last story "I want freedom" but I knew what I wanted for the beginning of this story. If you want please ready my last story and give me ideas on how to continue with it. But for now we got this story. I wanted to get this out before the 3rd movie comes out so here's the first chapter. Enjoy!
This is Berk, it's basically a big chunk of ice in the middle of nowhere, the ground is frozen and the people are just as well. The only perks are the pets, you see most places have a puppy or birds we have" dragons zoom overhead "Dragons! Oh, that's me…the girl with her face in the water in the pools by the cliffs; I'm kind of a Tital class nut, actually I'm a anything underwater nut. From tiny fish too..
"Hey weirdo!"
My face whips out of the water and my reddish brown is sticking is strains all over my face; real attractive, I know. Wait, I responded to weirdo; I see a possible potential problem here.
"What do you want Meadface?" yeah, the kids name is Meadface.
"Gobber says he's waiting for in the forge."
"Wow, you actually took 10 minutes out of your time to come down her and tell me that. You're a real charmer. Or, is your suspension from riding dragons at the academy just make you errand boy?"
"Just go water girl."
"Yeah I'm going." I trudge out of the water and head up the cliff. Oh sorry, introduction I'm Rori , yeah I know bad name for a girl, but it's better than some other names. Like a few of the other kids, you've already met Meadhead, self- absorbed and a brat. Then there's the triplets Winout, Loseout, and Tieout they're all identical, and love to punch each other, and finally there is Pike let's just say he' a showoff, and I'm the only female in our age group. Dragon Academy should be a fun place to learn, instead it's a total nightmare of punches, snarky comments, and things blowing up.
My name is Rori, great name I know. I feel like my dad's dragon roared after I was born and that's how I got my name. I guess that's just away to frighten of trolls, but I think Viking breath does that instead of names.
I get to the forge, and I know I'm already late as I run in trying to catch my breath and strap on my apron. "Well look who finally decided to show up. I was starting to think you'd gotten lost at sea."
"Oh come on you know I'm way too skilled to be carried off by the tide." I say as I pat a very fat dragon named Grump and then start melting medal .
"Eh, you could be used as bait for a giant fish."
"Har Har."
The big guy with changeable limbs is Gobber. I've been his apprentice as far back as I could remember, before I could lift a battle-axe; ok I still can't lift a battle axe. So what I'm little for my age, or just little in general.
"Where's chief?" I asked
"Oh he was here earlier waiting for ya. Then silent Sven's sheep began stampeding for the cliff so he had to go fix that he should be back soon though. He's not happy with ya."
"Great, what did I do this time"
"Well there's the boiling water all over Berk Schauldran event, the many times you set the forge on fire, twice this week actually, the fact that you haven't shown up to any of your dragon classes, the time you blew up the academy, the time where you almost got the triplets eaten, the time.."
"Ok, ok I get it Gobber, disaster follows me."
Dragons zoomed overhead as I began to work on saddles, and I can hear the chief barking orders on how to round up an Island full of sheep. His name is Hiccup, the first man to bring dragons and Vikings together; people say that he can tame any dragon he desires, do I believe it, yep, cause I've seen it.
All of the sudden I get an idea, I through the fabric aside and take out my notebook and start writing "Gobber, I think I may have figured out a way were I can swim into deeper waters and discover more Tidal class dragons. What we know about them is just scratching the surface, there may be hundreds of different species we don't know about and if we could.." I pause "Why do I smell something burning"
I turn around to see that I have actually tossed the fabric into the flaming coals, it was on fire and the flames were already licking the walls . "Uh, Gobber?"
"Oh please go on" he says sarcastically "I can't wait to hear about your next brilliant idea."
"Um…..third times a charm, the forge is on fire."
"Really! Again! Next time wait for Hiccup to install the fire safety before you set this place ablaze!"
I ran and grabbed the closest bucket and threw its contents on the fire, It only grew hotter, higher and bigger.
"Aw come on!" I screamed
"You just threw monsterous nightmare spit on the fire!" yelled Gobber as he was trying to get Grump off his butt.
"Oh well that's fantastic!"
The fire was spreading quick now, I ran around trying to find a way to stop it, only to realize it spread to the grass. I tried to stomp some of it out, but my shoe caught on fire, and in trying to stomp it out the beacon pole, the pole caught on fire. Then the whole town started screaming because the warning beacon was up which meant an invasion, nope, not an invasion just an invasion of accidents by me. By this time the fire had caught on to a few houses, and he sheep who had just been rallied up got out of their pens and they caught on fire. I backed up and this would be to my luck the one time Grump got up because I bumped into him and he burped a fire ball onto the beacon pole, the beacon pole fell and a huge ball of straw, metal and fire began rolling down the hill.
"Thor strike me down now." I say as I toss my hands into the air, I got the next best thing
Water began to be pouring down from everywhere, as the fire is dying I can see through the droplets that It's chief Hiccup ordering Scauldrons to spout water all over the village; well, at least it's not boiling water. After a few minutes the flames subside and I think that is my cue to sneak away. I start tiptoeing away when I hear "Rori!"
I slowly turn around to see the chief approach me. Oh , and there's one more thing you should know.
"Uh, sorry….. dad."
A final explosion happens behind me and I wince.
I look around to see that a crowd has gathered around our vicinity.
"Ok, but I think I might have figured out a new way to find tidal.." dad grabs my arm "ow ow ow" he starts pulling me away from the scene "Ok dad it's not like the last 26 failed experiments I think I really have it, now if I can just.."
"Stop!" he stops in his tracks, lets go of my arm, and sighs "Just stop, right now I have this mess to clean, sheep to still find and make sure they haven't flambéed, I have to make a plan to start building new houses in the village that burnt down, oh and a voyage to plan." He puts his hands on his temples and begins to rub them "Plus I am having major de ja vu here."
I look away "….Sorry"
"Well right now, sorry does not cut it. Gobber, take here home and make sure she gets home in one piece."
Gobber takes me by the shoulder and starts to lead me away. I can hear the kids already laughing at me.
"Wow Rori, I think you've toped the screwing up scale." Said Winout
"Nah it overflowed!" claimed Loseout
"It exploded" yelled Tieout as they all high fived
Pike yelled "Hey next time set fire to the old people's houses."
Meadface exclaimed "Geez and I thought I was the failure!"
We finally get to the steps of my house
"I'm always messing up." I say
"Yep, sounds about right."
"Thanks Gobber, but even when I don't mess up it's never good enough. I mean I'm trying to be a great daughter of the wonderful Chief Hiccup, but whenever I try he gives me a face of someone who has murdered a dragon." I start mimicking a nasal voice "Oh Thor I got stuck with a screwup here for my first born, can I send it back and give me someone who can actually befriend a dragon."
"No, no, no," says Gobber "You've just got to understand that you aren't what he was expecting."
"Thank you for summing that up."
"Look just try not to destroy everything, get a dragon, and things could be fine."
I turn around and put my hand on the door. "I just want to do discover something you know do something important."
I enter the house and sigh "This has been the worst week of my life, and it's only Monday."
