Answering the guest reviewer: I will be doing the third movie from Toothless' perspective, don't worry. It just takes a lot of work to do those stories since I want to make sure every movement and detail is accurate to the film, and I have other things I want to finish first. But it will happen :)
Entry 63
I woke up this morning to Gobber pounding on the door.
"C'mon laddie! I'm not letting ya get out of Training!" I just dragged myself out of bed, dread building with every step.
Not only do I have to deal with Dragon Training, I have to deal with everyone else. Four out of five of which utterly despise me. Fishlegs I can handle, because he just doesn't talk to me. But the others… this will be fun…
I'll write more when it's over (if I'm not killed before then).
…
Well, I certainly came close to getting killed.
Gobber has a… unique way of teaching. He just loosed a dragon on us and had us figure it out. I don't know all that happened, because I was mostly running for my life, but I remember one thing clearly. On the Gronckle's second to last shot, it blew my shield out of my hands. And as I was chasing it, the dragon backed me up against a wall. It was building a lava blast, ready to take my head off, when Gobber yanked it away just in time. The fire struck just above me, and after Gobber had thrown the Gronckle back in its cell, he said something. Something that has me completely and utterly confused.
"A dragon will always… ALWAYS... go for the kill."
I've heard this hundreds of times in my life, and I never even questioned it. But if that's true… why didn't the Night Fury? Why did it just roar, and take off? It had me right in its claws, and I'd already done enough to it to warrant death. Yet it didn't shoot.
All these sayings I've grown up hearing… just how true are they? Because if a NIGHT FURY of all dragons spared a human… who knows what others would do in the right situation.
The Gronckle shot at me, yes. But it was also being used. Does it KNOW what we're doing, and why? Is it aware of its purpose? Is that the reason it was so aggressive?
I don't know…
I do know one thing. I'm going to look for that Night Fury again. It's probably a lost cause, if I'm honest. I don't see why the dragon would stay on Berk after what I did to it; it's probably long gone by now. But I'm still going to look.
Just in case.
Until next time…
