~~Night Fury~~
By night the vikings where all in the great hall. Eira and Mira both had meet up and walked to the hall, the only one not there was Hiccup. "Alright, were did Astrid go wrong in the ring today?" Gobber aked as as stood in front of the table.
Eira stood to the side leaning on a poll along side Mira. She looked to the side bored and at the mention of Astrid she just glanced and rolled her eyes.
"I miss timed my summersault drive. It was sloppy. It threw of off my reverse tumble," Astrid answered to which Aideen just rolled her eyes again.
She had hope to get away for the rest of the day but as fate has it, her brother found her. He warned her to not leave the village and to stay in school. He also warned Mira that if she kept on covering for her then they wound't be aloud to hand out anymore. Eira's life just seemed to get worst and worst.
"Yeah, we noticed," Ruffnut said sarcastically as she had he head in her left hand with a bored expression. Eira actually smiled at that.
"No, no, you were great," Snotloud said, "That was so Astrid."
"She's right, you have to tough on yourselves," Gobber said as Hiccup walked towards the table soaked from the rain. Mira elbowed Eira who turned to look at her. She gestured to the boy and the brown hair girl turned to see him. He grabbed a plate with chicken as Snotloud moved to the side not letting the boy sit next to him. Hiccup only rolled his eyes. Gobber looked at Hiccup, "Where did Hiccup go wrong?"
"Uh, he showed up?" Ruffnut said.
"He didn't get eaten," Her brother said as they watched him walk to the other table, sitting alone.
Mira looked at Eira who was looking at Tuffnut with a hint of hate in her eyes. "Yeah, well to tell the truth I thought you two would be eaten. I mean who starts to fight when a dragon is targeting you." Eira smiled at her friend and looked at the annoyance in both the twines eyes.
Be fore they could reply back Astrid spoke, "He's never were he should be."
"Thank you, Astrid," Gobber said as he walked past the twines pushing both of them slightly. Even he got annoyed by what they said. "You need to live and breath this stuff. The Dragon Manual," he moved the stuff from the table and put down a book with a dragon drawn in the middle. "Everything we know about every dragon we know of." He looked up at the sound of thunder, "No attacks tonight."
"Wait," he looked at the girl as Eira stood up, Mira following her. "What about me and Mira. We both already read the whole book. I know what the dragons do."
"Fine, you two can go" he said both girls high-five each other before leaving. The others were too distracted to notice, all except Hiccup and Astrid. The girl just watched with annoyances as Eira walked ran out.
"The rest of you study up," he order as he walked away.
Tuffnut looked up from his knife making it fall, "Wait, you mean, read?"
"While we're still alive?" His sister said.
"Why read words when you can just kill the stuff the words tell you stuff about," Snotloud protested.
"Oh! I've read it like, seven times," Fishlegs exclaimed with excitedly. "There's this water dragon that sprays boiling water at your face. And- And there's this other one that buries it self for like a week..." by now the teens were looking at him weird for all of his knowledge.
"Yeah, that sounds great," Tuffnut interrupted, "See, there was a chance I was going to read that.."
"But now..." his sister finish.
Snotloud got up, "You guys read, I'll go kill stuff," He said as he looked at the others before walking away. The others, with the exception of Hiccup and Astrid, get up and leave.
The twines began to push each other as Fishlegs begins to talk again, "Oh and there's this other one that has these spines that looks like trees..."
Hiccup had wished Eira had stayed but after seeing the rest of the teens leave and Astrid stay he thought perhaps he could finally talk to her. He stood up and walked towards her, "So I guess we'll share ..."
But of course she ignored him. Astrid pushed the book towards him, "Read it," she said without hearing him she stood and began to fallow the other teens.
"All mine then," he said as he grabbed the book. He looked up at the door, "Wow, so okay. I'll see you-" the door slammed as the girl left, "tomorrow." Hiccup sigh, now he really wanted Eira to have stayed.
Eira looked up at the sky as she sat under one of the trees close to the village. Mira had to leave to take care of her younger siblings. Now she was left alone, she could home but decided against it. Right now she didn't want to see her older siblings or even go home.
Her father had set a time for her to not stay out long but she wasn't far from home or out in the forest. So at least she could stay out long. Even though she didn't agree with what her father said to her, she would still obey him. After all he was her father and she could never disobey him.
With a sigh, she closed her eyes and listen to the sound of the rain and wind. From time to time thunder would boom in the sky, but it didn't matter to her. Right now she was having a peaceful moment.. Or at least she was.
She open her eyes as she heard the sound of the teen's heading her way. 'why couldn't I have a moment of peace?' she thought as she stood up. The only person not with them was Hiccup and she knew they wouldn't hang out with him.
She began to walk as way hoping neither one of them would notice her but that didn't worked. "What are you playing at?" Astrid asked as she stood in front of her.
Eira rolled her eyes and looked at her, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"First, you tell everyone you don't want to attend dragon training, then you do. And even fight against a Nightmare," the girl said as she crossed her arms.
The brown hair girl rolled her eyes, "first I didn't want to attend dragon training. My father made me. Second, I wasn't about to let anyone get hurt because of a dragon."
"I bet she just did it for Hiccup," Tuffnut said.
"Yeah, we all know you she likes him," Ruffnut added.
Eira frowned and kept a calm expression. "Look, why do you even care? It none of your business why I did it or why I'm attending dragon training." She walked closer to Astrid with her arms crossed, "it's not like you even care, you never had," she mutter, then walked away.
She needed to get away from them and be in a quiet place but was also curious of what Hiccup would be doing. With that she made her way towards the diner.
By night everyone was gone from the great hall the only one left was Hiccup. He sat another candle next to the book, as they were his only resources of light. He open the book and began to read out loud, "Dragon classification. Strike class. Fear class. Mystery class."
He flipped the paged to a section with a dragon drown on it, "Thunderdrum. This reclusive dragon inhabits sea caves and dark tide pools. When startled, the thunderdrum produces a concussive sound that can kill a man close range. Extremely dangerous kill on sight."
He flipped thre a few pages, this time the dragon was large and shown its wings cutting down trees, "Timberjack. This gigantic creature had razor sharp wings that can slice through fully grown trees..extremely dangerous. Kill on sight."
The next page had a dragon with a different size and shape, "Scauldron. Sprays scalding water at its victim. Extremely dangerous." Thunder boomed from outside scaring the viking. Hiccup calmed down and turned away from the door.
Next dragon was thin and looked like vines, "Changewing. Even newly hatch dragons can spray acid. Kill on sight."
"Gronckle. Zippleback. The Skrill. Bone knapper. Whispering death," with every dragon he sow the pictures became real, as if they were moving on the page. He blinked the began to flip threw pages again, "Burns its victims. Buries its victims. Chokes its victims. Turns its victims inside-out. Extremely dangerous. Extremely dangerous. Kill on sight. Kill on sight. Kill on sight. Kill on sight."
He stopped at a page with nothing but a few words written down, "Night fury. Speed unknown. Size unknown. The unholy spirit of lightning and death itself. Never engaged this dragon. Your only chance, hide and pray it does not find you." He took out his drawing book and opened where he had drawn the dragon. He settle it down were the Night Fury picture should have been.
"what are you doing," a voice said startling the boy and making him fall down. He groaned as he rubbed his head he looked at who was in front of him.
Eira was laughing at the boy's reaction, "sorry," she said inbetween laughter. She smiled down at the boy and extended her hand towards him. He grabbed her hand and she helped him stand. "I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to know if... Um..." she was now realising she didn't even have an excuse as to why she came back. "I mean I wanted to see the book about a dragon.. You know Night Fury," she lied. She looked at the book that had hiccups drawing on top of it. She moved the book and read what it said. "It seems the book has nothing on Night Fury. I'm not surprise though, I mean a dragon that can't be seen wouldn't have much information on the book."
The boy looked at her with a frown, "you didn't come here to search about the Night Fury, did you?"
Eira frowned as she looked at him, "why would you say that?"
"Well you said you've read the book. So you would have know there was nothing on Night Furies," the boy aswer as he sat back down.
Eira sigh and move to sit in front of him. "Fine, yeah you're right. I came to see what you were doing. I really didn't want to go home, yet." After a moment of silence Eira grabbed the book and began to look threw it. "You know, " she began after getting tire of the silence, "there's nothing about a blinding dragon."
Hiccup frowned, "a what?" he asked.
She looked up at the boy and shook her head, "nothing, forget it." she turned and looked outside, "well, I better get home. Don't want by brother to come looking for me. All she you tomorrow, Hiccup." Eira stood and waved goodbye to the boy before leaving.
Ivra stood besides Stoick worried about his daughter. He had his reasons to why he pressure her to do something she didn't like. It was a fathers job to protect his children from any harm, but at the moment he felt he was failing them. His attention turned to the mist ahead of them.
"I can almost smell them, they're close," Stoick said as he looked at the map. In the left corner was drawn a mist with dragons on them. He then turn around and looked ahead, "Steady... Take us in." One of the vikings moved the sailboat in the direction of the mist.
"Hard to port... for Helheim's gate," the viking said as the other ships followed them into the mist. A few second later and a dragon silhouette appeared with its wings extended.
Eira was leaning by one of the wood walls. She was hiding along side Mira, both girls got bored after finding the place where the dragon wouldn't find them.
Hiccup was looking up at Gobber who was looking down at them from outside the cage. "You know, I happen to notice the book had nothing on Night Furies. Is there another book? A sequel? Maybe a little Night Fury pamphlet?" he asked then yelped as a fire flame was shot his way, melting the axe.
"Focus Hiccup!" Gobber said as the boy started to look around. He spotted the dragon in front of him and began to run. "You're not even trying. Today is all about attack. The Nadder hops from wall to wall, sending the recruits scurrying." Hiccup ran away but the nadder hopped on the walls after him. The whole arena was made into a labyrinth with wood walls. "Nadder are quick and light on their feet. Your job is to be quicker and lighter," Gobber instructed as the Nadder focused his eyes on Fishlegs instead of Hiccup. The dragon shot spikes from its tail, fishlegs was able to cover himself from the spikes with his shield.
"I'm really beginning to question your teaching methods," he commented as he ran away from the nadder. He was pulled away by Mira. Both girls looked as the dragon found another victim and ran after them.
Eira and Mira looked down at fishlegs," Now your questing them?" Mira commented as she and Eira looked a the boy.
The brunette looked at her friend and shrugged her shoulder, "I began to question them the first time he let the dragon out. But then again I do know him longer. "
Fishlegs looked between the two girls as he hid behind them. "Why aren't you running?
Both girls looked at each other then at one another, "Because we found its weak spot."
"Well done girls," Gobber praiced then turned to the others. "Look for its blind spot. Every dragon has one," he said as the dragon began to follow Hiccup. "Find it, hid in it and strike."
The twins ran between Hiccup and the dragon taking his attention from the boy that ran away. Both twins formed a line in front of the dragon staying in the center. The dragon moved its head trying to find the twins. Ruffnut looked at her brother as a bad smell filled her nostrils, "Do you ever bath?" she asked in disgust. She pushed her brother with her shield trying to get away.
"If you don't like it, then just get your own blind spot," he restored.
"How about I give you one?" she threaten. Both headbutt and began to fight. The Nadder growl making them look at him. Ruffnut pulled her brother away as the Nadder blowed fire.
"Blind spot? yes. Deaf spot? Not so much" Gobber said as he laughed at them. He looked at Eira and Mira who were now climbing the walls. The Nadder didn't even looked at them and insted fallowed the teens. When it did turn them they grabbed the wall and hung by its side.
"Hey, so how would one sneak up on a night fury," Hiccup said as he looked at Gobber.
The older viking turn his attention back to the boy. He looked at him in annoyance after hiring his question, "No one's ever met one and lived to tell the tale. Now get in there!" he order.
Hiccup backed away, "I know, I know, but hypothetically-"
"Hiccup," Astrid whisper as she and Snotloud hid behind a wall. She looked to the side and sow Eira climbing the walls not having any trouble with the dragon. It anger her. She looked at the Nadder as he turned away. Taking a deep breath she rolled away from it. Snotloud fallowed soon after. When Hiccup was about to follow them he wast able to completely roll away as the shield was to heavy for him.
This got the dragons attention as it jump on the walls and spotted Astrid and Snotloud. It jumped down from the wall and landed in front of them. Astrid stood straight and was about to throw her axe when Snotloud got in front of her.
"Hey!" Astrid protested.
"Watch out babe. I'll take care of this," he said before throwing his weapon, which hit the wall instead of the dragon. The dragon looked at the boy and laughed making Astrid glared at the boy.
"The sun was in my eyes. Astrid," he defended as they ran away and the dragon shot fire at them. "What do you want me to do, block out the sun? I could do that, but I don't have time right now." Snotloud ran one way while Astrid continued ahead. She made a sharp turn making the dragon hit the wall, and the walls behind it began to tumble down.
"Mira! " Eira shouted as she looked at the wall tumble down. Mira looked at her and both girl nodded as they stayed up in the remaining walls. They ran and tried to avoid the other walls that were falling down. One they knew they could get down without a wall falling down on them, they both climb down and were a safe distance from the Nadder.
"They probably take the daytime off," the boy said as he still tried to talk to Gobber. The other teens were all running away from the dragon and pass him. Eira and Mira looked from where they were as the dragon got closer to the boy, "You know, like a cat. Has anyone ever seen one napping."
"Hiccup!" Eira yelled making the boy turn to the side.
Astrid jumped on the walls while trying to get away from the Nadder. "Hiccup," she shouted just as she fell on top of him and a cloud of smoke lifted from the ground. When the smoke was cleared both teens were tangled together and the Nadder was buried between walls.
"Oooh! Love on the battlefield!" Tuffnut said as he and his sister looked from the side.
"She could do better," Ruffnut commented.
Eira look at both of them and began to walk closer until a comment stop her. "Seems like he doesn't even notice you like him," Tuffnut said making her turn to him with a glare.
"Just... let me.. why don't you" Hiccup said as he tried to untangle himself. Astrid became frustrated and began to untangle herself. She stood up and heard the growl of the Nadder.
The dragon also got up from under the walls and began to make its way towards the two fallen teens. She gasped and tried to get her ace that was stuck on Hiccups shield.
Eira who was looking at what was going on grabbed one of her weapons and threw it at the dragon. Its turn its attention towards her just as Astrid had taken the shield of Hiccup. "Come on. I'm over here," the brunette said as she stood a way from the other. The dragon looked at her for a few seconds, curious, then charged towards her.
Eira stood ready her back a few feet from the wall. Once close enough she turned and ran towards the wall. Pushing herself with the wall, she flipped over the dragon making it hit its head against the wall. She landed and grabbed the shield that was closed to her, in order to block herself from getting hit by the spiked tail.
Astrid looked as the dragon shock its head and walked away from Eira and into its cage. She clenched her fist, and dropped the axe with the shield.
"Well done, Eira," Gobber said impressed with the girls action.
Eira looked up and notice the old lady looking down at her. Her expression turned grim at the looked the old lady was giving her. 'oh, great,' she thought and looked down.
Astrid turned to look down the boy, who was looking at Eira, "Is this some kind of joke to you?" she asked making him look up at her, "Our parents war is about to become ours. Figure out which side you're on." Astrid turned and began to walk away, but not before glaring at Eira.
Eira looked at Astrid walk away. She sigh and turned back to help the boy up, "you okay?" she asked with an extended hand.
Hiccup looked up and grabbed the girls hand, "yeah," he replied.
Mira walked toward the two and put her hand on her hips, "that sure was a move. Nice going, you even got the elder to look at you," she said.
Eira groaned and turned way. "I didn't want her to look at me," she said as she looked up at the sky then sigh, "now she's going to talk to my dad when he gets back."
Mira looked at her and put a hand on her shoulder, "it'll be al right," the girl said. She then got an idea and smiled, "you know, you could get away and explored. I can't go with you but you still have time to get away." Eira looked back at her and smiled. She nodded before leaving.
"Where's she going?" Hiccup asked.
Mira shrugged and then smiled, "who knows but maybe one day you could follow her. And find out her secret."
Hiccup looked at her then at the way the girl left. Maybe one day he would.
