I do not own Berk, Boni and Drutt. Skyshadow and Luna belong to PhoenixFirewing.


Chapter 5.

Drutt

One year later a young Berk was walking through the Swamp with an elderly Luna.

"Mamma what are they?" he asked pointing at some mushrooms. He now had a faint Cornish Accent when he spoke despite the fact neither Luna or Skyshadow had an Accent.

"Those are mushrooms Berk, but you need to be very careful because some are poisonous." Luna replied.

"Mush rooms." Berk said slowly.

Luna nodded.

"Poisonous is bad." Berk said.

Luna nodded.

"Yes Berk poisonous is very bad, always remember that." she said.

Berk was looking around, he loved it when he went into the swamp with Luna or Skyshadow. Luna sat down on a fallen tree to rest and Berk smiled.

But when he heard a weak, quiet squeak he looked down and was surprised by what he saw. He saw it was a pail grey creature that vaguely resembled a frog with spider legs struggling to walk. Berk picked up a worm and knelt down showing the creature the worm and Luna looked on watching the two.

The creature looked up at Berk scared.

"It's ok little one I promise I won't hurt you," Berk said, "Go on take it."

The creature looked at Berk and happily ate the worm and then Berk looked at Luna.

"He's sick." he said.

"Can I look after him?"

Luna sighed, she could never say no to Berk.

"Oh ok Berk, but only until he's better." she said.

Berk smiled and gently picked the creature up.

The creature whimpered but curled up in Berk's hand.

"Come on Berk, your father will be wondering why we're taking so long." Luna said.

When the two got back Skyshadow was surprised to say the least to see the small creature in Berk's hands.

"Won't last the night." Luna whispered once Berk was out of earshot.

Skyshadow nodded and went off.

Berk sat down in the center of the castle looking at the creature.

It looked up at Berk desperate for food.

Berk didn't need to look far to find some worms for the creature to eat, considering there were worms everywhere and he gave the creature as many as it could eat, which was quite a lot for its size.

Berk started to think of a name for the creature.

After a few minutes he finally chose a name.

However the creature had fallen asleep.

Berk yawned and soon fell asleep himself.

He was awoken a few hours by something nudging him.

Berk yawned and saw the creature looking better.

However it was still too weak to move.

"He seems to of taken a liking to you." someone said from behind him.

Berk looked behind him and saw Boni looking at him and Berk smiled.

"He's my friend Boni," he said.

"Well don't forget what you were told Berk." Boni said.

Berk looked down.

"I won't." he said crossing his fingers, he had no intention of letting the creature go.
