A/N: I don't usually write poetry for fandoms other than my main one (nor post any at all) but when I do, it's when I'm procrastinating during exam times. *_*


"Flying Through a Lightning Storm"

The sky lights up
As I ride
On the unholy offspring
Of lightning and death itself

I risk it striking the tail
Still I soar
Flying, amongst sparking clouds

I will find what causes lightning.

Strike! There it goes!
Utterly unpredictable!
The air smells odd.
Can lightning be smelt?

Flash! And another!
Far more frequent here up high.
What attracts it?
...Metal?

It hits the tail, the metal tail
Luckily not my foot
We fall
Struck again—

It is not like before.

No ratings, no plot armour, nothing to save us!
Dying, we fall
Through clouds, burst through, see the churning seas.

The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself,
Is not immune to either.
We have defied death too many times
The gods will have their way.


A/N: Inspired by a lightning storm (duh) *_*

And yes, Hiccup breaks the fourth wall :p
