Hey guys, here's another chapter of Both lost in the clouds!
Toothless is finally in it :)
So here is Chapter 3 - Finding Home:
The wind ruffled Hiccup's hair as he flew through the sky. He had left that morning and was still flying east hours later; every so often he would discover an island and would rest there with Shiftwing before setting off again.
In the early hours of his flight Hiccup had found some dragon traps and so got Shiftwing to melt the traps with his acidy breathe. But by now he had ventured away from the territory of Drago, so everywhere was now dragon trap-free.
Hiccup and Shiftwing flew up as high as they could and then fell in a circular motion, before the two started to perform astonishing tricks. At one point, Shiftwing wrapped one of his antennas around Hiccup and Hiccup let go of the dragon. The two fell, skydiving side by side watching each other; then when they were several feet above the ground, Shiftwing reeled his antenna in allowing Hiccup to grab hold and sit on the dragon in time for Shiftwing to fly and stop them from plummeting into the cold ocean below.
"Come on, bud. It's going to get dark soon, we'd better find an island to stay for the night." Hiccup told his dragon. They continued to fly east.
Soon, Hiccup could see land ahead. It was a massive island in the distance.
"Hey, we can go there." Hiccup stated, however, as they got closer Hiccup could see that the island was surrounded by dragons, and there were buildings, some on fire, covering the land. Hiccup made Shiftwing halt.
"Berk…" He whispered. He slowly flew closer to the island until he was close enough to see the island but not close enough for the Berkians to see him. His mother had told him of this place, of his dad the chief and how the Vikings have this war with the dragons. His mother told him how they train the Vikings his age so that they can help fight and kill dragons. Hiccup shuddered at the simple thought. He stayed in the sky, watching the war below.
On Berk
It was only a few days ago when Astrid had killed the monstrous nightmare in front of the whole village. The Viking teens had finished their training with Gobber, and now instead of putting fire out, they were allowed to help the adults fight the dragons. Astrid ran after a deadly nadder flailing her axe in the air, when she heard a Viking shout the very words no Viking wanted to hear.
"Night Fury!" Everyone ducked as the piercing sound of the mysterious dragon could be heard. A plasma blast suddenly came hurtling towards the village. It was bang on target.
'This is my chance' Astrid thought, she grabbed a bola and ran up onto a hill. Readying her arm, she waited for the night fury to come again.
As soon as it came, she locked her gaze onto it and threw the bola as far as she could. There was a deafening silence, Astrid realised that she was being watched by the rest of the teens, and some of the older Vikings, including Stoick the chief.
Suddenly the silence was filled with the screech of a night fury as it fell out of the sky.
"Yes!"
"Well done Astrid!"
"You hit it!"
"Woo!" All the Vikings cheered, Astrid turned around smiling. She walked down the hill towards the chief.
"Well done Astrid! You've really proved yourself." Stoick beamed at Astrid. Their celebration was soon interrupted by a group of nadders breathing fire at them.
"Back to your stations people, take them down," Stoick yelled, he turned to Astrid, "we'll find your night fury after the battle." Stoick ran off towards a monstrous nightmare. Astrid sprinted towards a gronkle, pride rushing through her body. She was finally a true Viking.
Hiccup watched in horror as the night fury hurtled out of the sky.
"Come on bud." Hiccup and his dragon headed in the direction of the fallen night fury. He wasn't going to let Vikings kill such a mesmerising creature.
Shiftwing landed in the forest and Hiccup jumped off. It was dark and with a wild night fury in the woods somewhere, Hiccup was slightly frightened. Hiccup looked up at the sky and towards berk, trying to work out where the night fury might have landed. After he had a fair idea of where it might be, he headed in that direction. Closely followed by Shiftwing.
Hiccup abruptly came out into an opening, a large patch of forest where the trees had all been knocked down and there was a massive trench like groove in the ground. Hiccup jumped into the groove and followed it.
"Woah" Hiccup murmered as he saw the night fury lying on the ground. After he had gotten over the amazing sight of the dragon he slowly started to walk towards it.
So that was 'Finding Home'!
