Chapter 2: Toothless.
It had been decided that Hiccup really hated the grinder, at first it was fine. The work was easy and it was easy money, at least to start with. But what got to Hiccup was after a while, round about the 20th blade the task he had been given was incredible dull and to make matters worse the experience gain was so slow that after the time spent getting the 500 blades finished Hiccup had only gone up 3 levels, not that it mattered all that much as each level only meant a Health and stamina boost. Leaving Hiccup with even less thing to do but grind down the blades. Thankfully the forced timer outs allowed Hiccup to have a break where he would eat, drink and fill the other life requirements he had...like meeting up with his Girlfriend. That however was a story for another day.
Right though Hiccup was finished with the blades. Earning himself not only 3 levels but 100 bronze, which equated to 1 silver piece. As well as access to the blacksmith skill, all he had to do now was speak to Gobber. Hiccup did this as carefully as he could as the man looked like he deep in his. "Um...Gobber, I've finished the blades."
Gobber seemly ignored Hiccup and continued to pound the sword he was working on. Hiccup waited patiently but after a while got bored of waiting. "Gobber...GOBBER!"
With Hiccup shout sounding nothing more than a normal voice Gobber took no offence to the boy. Instead he turned with a smile. "What is it lad...have you finished."
Hiccup nodded. "Yeah im done...took forever but i'm ready."
Gobber made a face. "Your not ready for anything lad, but i will give you a simple lesson. Your my apprentice after all it seems."
Quest complete. Road to a blacksmith. Reward: blacksmith rank; Apprentice, extra reward 50 exp.
Congratulations you unlocked at town skill; Blacksmithing; current rank: apprentice 1.
Congratulation level up: level 4. Health increased:400 Stamina increased:400
A smile spread over Hiccup's face, he was one step closer to his goal of getting a dragon. With newfound enthusiasm Hiccup looked up to the bulky smith's face. "What you got?"
"Straight to it uh, alright, at you current skill all you'll be able to do is pound a blade together. To do this first choose your hilt, this will decide the weapon your making, in your case it either a axe or sword. Then you heat the metal and then hit it with this hammer, it has no strength requirement so no need to worry your wee self. Whilst the metal is hot you hit it into shape. If you don't get it first time reheat the metal and go again, but remember the strength and quality of the metal decrease each time it is heated. Got all that." Hiccup nodded knowing he could remind himself later with the skill tab. Gobber smiled at his response. "Good make me 10 swords and 10 axes of poor quality or higher and i'll teach you more."
Quest unlocked: road to a blacksmith; make 10 poor axes and 10 poor long swords. Reward; 2 silver, 550 exp, further blacksmith training.
Hiccup moved to the furnace and anvil taking the hammer and tongs in hand, he started with an axe, taking the hilt and heating the metal with the tongs, he pull his face away from the unbearable heat and with it came the metal only partly heated, Hiccup grunted pushing both his face and the metal back into the heat, after what seemed like hours the metal began to glow, pulling it out as fast as he could Hiccup began to pound the metal but he wasn't fast enough the metal cooled in a odd shape, forcing Hiccup to put the metal back in the heat, this continued 5 more time but finally the axe was done.
Terrible axe, strength required: 6 Dps: 1 range: close.
Hiccup growled with disappointment, which was only improved when he was that his exp increase by 250 points rather than a simple 10. Taking a breath Hiccup tried again only this time he made a sword. To a better result.
Poor long sword, Strength required 4 Dps: 0.8 range: close.
With his new found success he decide to try the axe only to be met with the same terrible result as before. As such Hiccup tired the sword again and got the same as before. Deciding that swords were easier Hiccup went to work making the 8 more he need and earnt himself 2 more levels. Returning to the axe Hiccup choice to hammer at an angle instead of straight on. This worked giving him the poor axe he wanted. With a new method in mind Hiccup went to work finishing the least 9 axes he need only to have a FT block him for progress for 30 minutes. All in all it had taken it 5 hours to make the weapons he needed and gain 4 levels in the process. 'Only 2 levels till 10. Almost there.'
Hiccup went to hunt for Gobber to continue his training. This wasn't hard as the smith was only working on the anvil next to his. "Gobber, I've finished."
Not being all the busy Gobber heard him without Hiccup having to shout. "Alright laddy let's have a look shall. Wow these are poor...good job, i think. Now as you probably worked out different blades require different techniques. A long sword you want straight hits and an axe you want to hit the blade at an angle to get a half decent result. But there are also weapon that require less metal and less heat time. Like a dagger for example, the blade is much shorter as such you only need half the metal which of course take half the time to heat up. Take this recipe and make 20 daggers."
Quest complete; road to a blacksmith; quest reward; 2 silver, 550 exp, further blacksmith training. Note; all 10 poor axes, 10 poor swords have been removed from inventory.
Quest unlocked: road to a blacksmith: make 20 daggers. Quest rewards; 2 silver, 600 Exp, Blacksmith rank up; Apprentice 2.
Hiccup gave a simple nod and return to his anvil. He took the recipe and read it. It was exactly like Gobber said but now he knew how to do, like he didn't understand it fully before and now he did. Taking a piece of metal he heated half of it before hitting it so that the hot metal snapped of the cooler part. He then return the hot metal to the heat for few moments before pulling it out and pounding it into shape. Which was done on his first attempt. Smiling to himself Hiccup inspected the dagger.
Dagger strength required: 2 Dps: 1.2 range: close.
Hiccup smile only grow. He could use the dagger, he could hunt. The temptation was great, he really wanted to go hunting, but after doing some quick maths it was going to be faster to finish making the dagger he needed to reach level ten. With a plan in place Hiccup finished the daggers and returned to Gobber and complete the quest.
Congratulations level up: level 10. Health increase:1000. stamina increased: 1000 dragon egg hatching...warning Dragon eggs explode.
Panic filled Hiccup as he read the warning. He looked up to Gobber who was explaining something. "Gobber as much as I want know what your teaching, my dragon about to hatch...i mean explode."
Gobber eyes widened. "WHAT! Quick in the water barrel."
Hiccup did as he was told putting the egg inside the barrel just in time for as soon as he did the egg hatched which caused the water inside the barrel to be thrown out and cover the pair as well as making a deep pop sound. Silence fell the pair for a few moments then Gobber spoke as a foul smell came from him, "well i'm gonna need my spare pair of undies."
Hiccup chuckled and shook his head. He then moved closer to the barrel to look inside. He got a few steps away when a small black lizards head poked out the top of the barrel. It looked at Hiccup with big green eyes and almost looked like it was smiling. The next thing Hiccup knew it was on top him licking his face. Hiccup laughed all heatedly but life dragon off him. The dragon was came up to his chest in length but was surprising light for its size. The scales were as black as the night sky which explain its name.
You have hatched your dragon egg. Reward: Night fury pup (male), name your dragon to cement your bond. Warning you do not have to decide on a name now but not doing so with lessen you link to you dragon.
Reading the message forced Hiccup to name the dragon right there he looked of good name quick. There was nothing that caught his eye until he saw the mouth. Teeth, or teeth that were going in and out of the dragons gums as he licked his lips trying to get to Hiccup's face. Hiccup smiled. "I name you toothless."
