Chapter Two: First flight
"Alright Strong Beak here's your saddle girl" Daran stated as he put his dragon's saddle on her "This saddle belonged to my previous dragon that isn't alive anymore his name
was Spike Tail, so his saddle is now your saddle Strong Beak" Daran stated as Strong Beak looked at the saddle and then looked at Daran and then while Daran was getting
his gear (RRRIIIIIIPPP!) was all Daran heard as he turned around and saw the source of the sound "Strong Beak, what did you do girl!" Daran yelled as he placed hands on
top of his head and saw that Strong Beak had extended her spines through the tough leather of the saddle with her back neck spines, and then Daran had realized something
Strong Beak just made the saddle truly hers and also made it unique only to her and her rider "Wow girl does it feel more comfortable on your back now?" Daran asked his
Skrill to which Strong Beak gave a pleasant growl and nudged Daran motioning him to hurry. Daran looked at Strong Beak and laughed "Ok, OK girl let's go flying" Daran said
as he got on the saddle and Strong Beak gave a loud roar and with one flap of her wings and was in the air and as they were flying back to the Dragon academy Daran had
felt this feeling before three years ago "Spike Tail" was all Daran said as a tear formed and ran down his face he whipped it away before they got to the academy as Strong
Beak landed on the ground and walked over to the other Dragon Trainers "Daran is that what I think it is?" Astrid asked as she walked over and looked at the familiar saddle
"Yeah Astrid, it's Spike Tail's old saddle" Daran answered as he got off of Strong Beak and placed his hand on the saddle "You sure Daran because I don't remember Spike
Tail's saddle having this rip-like design in it?" Astrid inquired as she pointed at the rip along Strong Beak's spines "My sister dose have a point babe" Turessa stated as she
walked over and placed her hand on the saddle "Well it didn't until someone decided to take her spines and rip it to make it more comfortable and unique only to me and a
certain Skrill of mine" Daran stated as he looked at Strong Beak who then gave a toothy grin and extend her spines to show everyone how she did it Astrid and Turessa jerk
their hands away just as Strong Beak done that "Ok so it is Spike Tail's saddle then Daran" Astrid stated as she looked at the saddle "Well now that's all settled is everyone
ready to go flying now" Hiccup asked as got on Toothless "I'm ready Babe" Astrid answered as she got on Stromfly "we're ready" Ruff Nutt said as she and her brother got on
Barf and Belch "Ready Hiccup" Fishlegs stated as he got on Meatlug "Let's do this" Snotlout states as he gets on Hookfang "ready to go Hiccup" Turessa states as she gets on
her Deadly Nadder Sharptooth "I'm good to go" Daran states as he got back on Strong Beak and then Daran had slicked his hair back and tied it in a pony tail as he always would do before riding and almost at the same time before anyone else could get their dragon in the air
the first two dragons to everyone's surprise was Toothless and Strong Beak well everyone was surprised excepted for Astrid and her sister Turessa who were the next two to
take off in to the air followed by the rest everyone was having fun Daran and Turessa were having fun just like three years ago with their dragons playing a game of Fly tag
when a cloud of moving smoke suddenly enveloped Turessa's head "Daran, help I can't see and I think something is pulling on my necklace!" Turessa yelled as Daran had
Strong Beak flap her wings to reveal an eight feet dark and light grey dragon "It's a Smothering Smokebreath dragon, they're attracted to shiny objects" Fishlegs states as
Meatlug hovers over to Daran and Strong Beak "Well that little thing just stole the locket Daran made me" Turessa said as she landed next Daran and his dragon "IT DID
WHAT! Why that little let's get him Strong Beak!" Daran yelled and as soon as Strong Beak let out a loud Skrill roar she dove off the rock they were on and spread her wings
and they went after it. Unknowingly to Daran he was about to surprise not only himself but the others and Turessa especially.
