Previously :
"You know the story was quite interesting", Illwern said laughing.
Minden said,"I believe that I have already told you that you are a bad liar. So spill the beans."
"And I assume you own a dragon of some sort?" Astrid said.
Percy felt a chill down his spine. He hadn't said a word and they knew so much about him. Only one word came in his mind - 'Danger'
Percy just stared blankly.
Minden came close to him and held his hand as a gesture of support.
And so Percy did spill the beans on his encounter with Luna on the island they had termed dragon island. And how they both fought wild boars. Then Luna flew him to Berk. And he dueled Minden just to get beaten.
"And your relation with Aphrodite?", Hiccup added.
"Well, you can say that I have a past with her to say the least." Percy admitted. "As to how I reached Dragon Island, that is something we can discuss later."
"I can understand..." Astrid said.
"So, Can we see the dragon?", Hiccup said with a mad light in his eyes. All the others groaned at his excitement.
"You better introduce him to Stoick first" Astrid warned.
Illwern said,"Then we can see his tattoo if that is fine?".
"Here goes my dignity", Percy thought. He removed his shirt to reveal the beautiful ice blue tattoo. Minden gasped at the sight. She touched the marks which gave Percy strawberry ears.
"You never told me that he had a light fury Minden", Astrid exclaimed.
"That's because this is the first time I have seen it up close." Minden returned.
"Looks like we have a lot more in common than just a painful past.", Hiccup said softly.
Percy had no idea what they were talking about but he had plenty of questions. What is a light fury and what is common in him and Hiccup?
"Just one question. Where am I?", Percy asked.
Illwern said, "I am sure that my daughter can explain..."
Percy was introduced to the village council and he quickly learnt that it was no better that the Olympians when it came to opinion. Percy was asked to learn all the berk culture from Hiccup's friend Fishlegs and to forge items for Fishlegs' uncle Gobber. He was given the option to learn how to fight from Minden's group called dragon riders or from the village elders the viking way. Percy was no expert in viking but knew better that to learn form the elders. Minden offered to teach him spear fighting which he graciously accepted. Percy learnt from Minden that she was Illwern's daughter and that Illwern was a 400 year old elf prince. The village culture was Norse. There were worlds and berk stood in the middle of midgard - the mortal world and Alfheim or the realm of the elves. He was to live with the dragon riders at their base called the Edge. The base was built like a tank. They gave him a quick tour of the main building where they had a kitchen, a breakfast table and living area. They showed Percy his bed. Percy was so tired at the emotional roller coaster that he slept before his head reached the pillow.
NEXT MORNING -
Percy was sleeping in his bed when Hiccup woke him up and said that they were late. Percy quickly dressed up in black jeans and a loose T-shirt. He noticed his body to be more muscular and the tattoo glowing faint blue. Pretty cool.
He was greeted at the breakfast table by all the others.
"Ready for another defeat", Minden joked.
"You wish", Percy fought back.
"Minden told me that you needed an armour and a few other weapons?", Illwern asked.
"I do actually", Percy confirmed
"Then come with me to the forge today afternoon.", Hiccup offered.
With this, the group finished the breakfast in silence.
"Lets see how good you are...", Astrid grinned wickedly.
One look around the arena and it looked like - Oh yeah! Percy was going to love this, he was sure. There was rock climbing, hand to hand combat and combat in special conditions. Special conditions including heavy cold, heat, snow and darkness.
Percy quickly understood he had to get good to survive. They all were exceptionally good fighters. He had been training non-stop with Minden and at the forge with Hiccup. After about 2 months of hard training, he was the best using his combat knifes and very good with a spear. He had forged his own pair of combat knives but he was no good at forging. So Hiccup had built him his armour which was blue (who could have guessed that) and Minden had made him a strong spear. The weapon was perfectly balanced and felt right in his hands.
It had been years and he had grown close with the dragon riders and considered him his family. After all, they went to dangerous mission all the time to rescue dragons.
Then one day he had a letter addressed for him. He read it with no expressions.
One look from him and the riders knew it was time to buckle up.
QUE : WHAT WAS THE TITLE POSEIDON'S HAT CARRIED? (THE ONE HE WORE IN BATTLE OF LABYRINTH DURING PERCY'S FIFTEENTH BIRTHDAY...)
What is gonna happen next? Review your thoughts. Constructive criticism is much welcome and as always thanks for reading. Any sort of interacting makes my day from simple views to follows :)
Later...
