"Hey, Steve, wake up, it's time of Dragon Training class", my mom yelled at me from my room. "OK", I yelled back. I was so excited for Dragon Training class that I could hardly contain myself. I hurriedly ate down breakfast, said goodbye to mom and ran out the door. I hurried to the arena, where the Dragon Riders were already there to teach us. I was the first kid there, and the riders said hi to me and I said hi back. Then, one of my bullies, Richard, walked through the gate. He smiled when he saw me, and then he yelled "Hey, who let the runt in?". Before I could say anything, Astrid, one of the Riders, yelled for him to shut up and sit down. Eventually, everybody got here and we all sat down. Hiccup then got up in the front of the class and said, "OK everybody, today we will be learning about the classes of dragons". I told myself that this would be easy because I read the Book of Dragons so many times. "OK, so who can tell me about the Stoker Class?". Immediately, my hand shot up and I said " Stoker Class dragons are hotheaded fire breathers, and most of them are capable of setting themselves on fire. All dragons in this class are immune to fire.". He then asked me to name a dragon in this class, to which I replied "Fireworms". Another one of the bullies, Randy, piped up and yelled to me " Hey, what about the Monstrous Nightmare?"? I knew he was trying to spite me, and I ignored them. Snotlout then asked me to show how to properly approach the Nightmare. I got up and slowly approached Hookfang, his dragon, with my hand out. I then accidentally tripped over a shield that was lying in the way, and accidentally slapped Hookfang in the nose in the progress. He went crazy, spewing fire everywhere in the process, then tried to attack me, seeing me as a threat, but Snotlout stopped me before he could do so. Everyone laughed at me, espically Richard and Randy. Hiccup then said that training was over and then told everybody to leave, except me. Hiccup then made Hookfang apolgize to me in dragon laungage, and he nuzzled me for a little bit before I left him there. I was a trainwreck, and I didn't know what to do.

Later on that night, I was praying to the gods, hoping for a better day tommorow, when my mom came in. "Hey, Steve, whats going on?"? I told mom about my day, from Randy and Richard bullying me to the incident with the Monstrous Nightmare, to Hiccup making him apologize to me. She then told me " Don't worry, tommorow would be better". I danm hoped she was right. Tommorow came in a jiffy, and in no time, I was heading back to the arena for another class. Everybody came eventually, and we started. Hicuup then said that today, they would talk about the other classes, which included Boulder, Fear, Sharp, Tidal, Strike, and Mystery. We flew through the first five classes, but stopped when we got to Mystery. We talked about some of the other dragons, which included the Zippleback, Changewing, and others among it. We spent more time on this, since it was very hard. But, when we were done, I noticed something. He didn't mention the Firedrake, which was a extremely rare dragon that shows no mercy. I raised my hand and Hiccup called on me and I said "Hiccup, what about the Firedrake?"? He thanked me for reminding him about that and we started talking about it. He told us that the Firedrake was an extremely rare dragon that was known to be extinct, but they werent sure about it. He then told us that you ever were to see one, run away as far as you could because they would kill you if they saw you. He also said that they were very protective of whoever they befriended, but it was very rare to befriend one, for no human had ever done it. When we were done, Richard and Randy approached me and they looked angry. I assumed that they were looking for some reason to try and beat me up because that was there favorite hobby. I tried to walk away but Randy grabbed me and shoved me to the ground. They started kicking me and punching me, until they heard a roar and stopped. Toothless had come to my rescue and chased them away. He then helped me to Gothi, who said I had a couple of bruises, but nothing serious. That night, I lay in bed, hoping that tommorrow, I would finally meet my protector.
