Here is Chapter two of Venusar "Sagan!
Disclaimer: I only own Venus!
I ran in to the dining hall with Hiccup behind me. I shook my head and sat down beside Ruffnut. I got my food and saw Hiccup walk away to a different table. "So today was just the first lesson. How do you think you did?" Gobber asked.
"I thought it went alright, but some of my techniques were off." Astrid said. I snorted. No one could really tell.
"What about Hiccup and Venus?" He asked.
"I am supposed to be helping you train Gobber." I reminded him. "As I am part dragon, I do not believe in the blood sport you call dragon training." I saw Hiccup smirk. "My twin, however, is free game."
"He came?" Tuffnut offered.
"He didn't get eaten." Snotlout said. I shook my head.
"He didn't know what to do." Astrid said helpfully.
"Correct! All of you need to know what you're doing when you fight dragons. That's why you need to read this," Gobber flung the dragon book down and I eyed it carefully. "Before tomorrow's training. It's the dragon book- it'll tell you all we know about dragons." Gobber left and I huffed.
"The book lies about certain things." I said. I did my best to tune out everyone's protests.
"Read a book?" Snotlout complained.
"I'm not reading!" the twins said.
"This is pointless! Why can't we just go out and kill dragons? Reading is a waste of time." Snotlout said. I twitched.
Fishlegs rambled on about the different types of dragons. Finally only me, Astrid, and Hiccup were left. "So, uh, just us right?" Hiccup asked. Astrid looked at Hiccup for a second.
"No, just you." She said, pushing the book towards him and walked away. Hiccup sighed and I sat beside him.
"Read away." I ordered lightly. "I'll tell you the parts that lie." Hiccup shook his head. "No…? Okay."
We flipped through the pages and Hiccup stopped at Toothless' page. "Night fury. Speed: Unknown. Strength: unknown. The unholy child of lightning and death. Do not engage. If you find this dragon, hide and pray itdoesnotfindyou." Hiccup read. I snorted. He put a sketch of me and then Toothless, with half of his tail missing, on the book.
"He would never hurt anyone." I clarified. "Scare them, yes. Kill them? Only when guarding or provoked." I shivered and noticed the storm was going down. "We need to get home."
-Next morning; Training Arena-
I waited above the ring as the other teens came in. they went into the maze and Gobber nodded to me. I rolled my neck and shoulders and slipped into the ring. I turned into a Deadly Nadder and stalked around the edge.
"This lesson will test your agility and quick thinking. Nadders are quick so you have to be quicker." Gobber said and I ran into the maze. I smelled Hiccup and chuckled.
I leapt onto the barrier and shot spikes at him. Hiccup dodged them and I ran off to find my next victim- err target- err Trainee. I couldn't find anyone so I went back to my brother, who was asking Gobber more about Night Furies.
"The only person who knows about them is right behind you." Gobber said in a sadistic tone. "Why don't you ask her?" Hiccup turned around and screamed. I shot more spikes at him and he ran off.
"This is fun." I laughed. I raced off and saw Fishlegs. He yelled at Gobber about his training methods and ran off. The twins ran right into my blind spot.
"Every dragon has a blind spot. Try and find the Nadder's." Gobber said. I moved my head and the twins moved as well. They learn fast. They started arguing and I shot a fireball, causing them to move. "Blind spot, yes. Deaf spot? Not so much." Gobber laughed.
I was turning the corner and I saw Astrid, Snotlout, and Hiccup. The first two rolled away, but Hiccup being Hiccup, wasn't able to do a full roll.
"I got this." Snotlout said, throwing his mace at me. It hit a good three feet from me. I laughed at his pitiful attempt. "The sun was in my eyes!"
The three ran and I chased after them. I kept ramming into the walls, bringing them down. I saw Astrid climbing the walls and she jumped with me. When I saw here, she and Hiccup were in a compromising position.
I laughed. The twins were talking about how Astrid 'could do better'. I walked to the two and got a shield in the face. I went back to human before it could hit me. "Astrid!" I gasped. She stopped swinging.
"Sorry, Ven. I got a little carried away." She said, and then rounded on my twin. "What is wrong with you? Do you think this is a joke? Our parents war is about to become ours! Find out what side you're on." Hiccup ran off and, with a glare at the other teens, I followed him.
"Hiccup!" I said. "Where are you going?" I asked. I noticed he had a fish in his hands.
"To see the Night Fury." He said. "I want to know why he didn't kill me." I snorted. We went to the canyon and I lounged on a rock. "I thought he only saw you in a dragon form." Hiccup said.
Toothless came down from a rock and looked at Hiccup. He slowly approached him, but suddenly stopped. "He has a weapon." Toothless growled. Rolling my eyes, I got up and went to Hiccup.
"Get rid of the dagger." I ordered, throwing mine in the lake. Hiccup looked at Toothless, and then his dagger. He went to grab it and Toothless growled.
"Okay okay." He said. He picked it up with two fingers and dropped it. Toothless jerked his head to the lake. Hiccup kicked the dagger into the lake with mine.
Toothless relaxed and slowly approached us. I backed away and his eyes flickered to me. He opened his mouth. "Huh. Toothless. I could've sworn you had," Toothless unsheathed his teeth and ripped the fish out of Hiccup's hand. "Teeth." Hiccup finished weakly.
Toothless looked at Hiccup with understanding in his eyes. I sat down and let the sun light hit me. "No, no I don't have anymore." Hiccup said. I opened my eyes to see Toothless over Hiccup.
I heard Toothless retracting and a fish body came out of his mouth. "Oh Odin. That is so gross." I gagged. Toothless sat on his haunches and looked at Hiccup. He looked at the de-headed fish body and then Toothless. I suddenly felt bad for my twin.
When I was taken to the dragon's nest, I was five, a hatchling in dragon's terms. Toothless was five as well and his mother, who died saving both of us, helped feed me for the two months I was there. I still shudder at the taste of fish. I had to remember that was eleven years ago.
Toothless looked at the fish and then Hiccup and Hiccup hesitantly took a bite. I could tell he hated it. He looked at Toothless, who swallowed. I giggled at my twin's abashed face. I stood up and looked in the lake. There were fish in there alright. All I needed was my fishing pole.
I heard wings flapping and I saw Toothless go across the ravine. I sat beside a tree on the same side and watched as Hiccup tried to pet his tail. "What are you doing?" Toothless asked, moving his tail to look at Hiccup. He stood up stiffly and walked away. Toothless moved to the tree I was at and I too walked away stiffly.
-Later that day; In the Ravine-
I was in my Terrible Terror form when Hiccup was drawing a sketch of Toothless on the ground. I was curled up on his side when I heard Toothless coo. I saw Hiccup smile slightly and he finished his sketch. I looked at the night fury to see him tear a limb off of a tree.
I watched as he made a map to the dragon's nest. "Really? The way to that hole?" I asked. He nodded once. Hiccup stepped on a line and Toothless growled.
He lifted his foot and Toothless stopped growling. The cycle went on for two more times. Finally, Hiccup stepped over the line and he 'walked', more like twirled and danced, over all of the lines.
He went right up to Toothless. I chirped as he raised his hand slowly. Toothless snarled and Hiccup looked down. I watched in amazement as Toothless placed his nose on my twin's hand. He pulled away and sneezed. He flew to a cave and, after looking at Hiccup, followed him.
I went to my Night Fury form and quickly found Toothless. "You okay?" I asked. He looked at me.
"I'm fine." He said. I huffed and sat down. He got the message and bowed his head. "It's just not being able to fly. A dragon's way of finding a mate is being able to fly." I blinked. That's what was bothering him? "I miss the sky, and the feeling of the wind on my wings. Even my tailfin feels off balance." He admitted.
"So don't let that bother you." I suggested. "I've been you're friend since we were five. I know when there's something wrong." I rubbed my head on his shoulder and walked away.
I went to the smithy and started tailfin plans. I heard the door open and I saw Hiccup enter. "Oh, hi Venus." He said. "What are you doing here?" I could hear worry in his voice.
"Toothless needs a new tailfin and we can build him one." I suggested. Hiccup nodded. Hiccup looked for the leather as I built the iron frame. "Is that hard enough?" I asked, reaching for the leather.
"Yeah." He said. I bent it in different ways and nodded. We finished the fin and Hiccup yawned. "It's time we went to bed." He said. He helped me up and as soon as my head hit the bed, I was out.
-Next day-
I woke up and shook Hiccup. "Hiccup, we don't have training today." I hissed. His eyes shot open. "We need to get to Toothless." We made our way to the smithy and I stopped. "I'm going to get some fish for Toothless."
"No, I'll do it." Hiccup said. He handed me the prostatic fin. "Go to Toothless." I nodded and I ran to the canyon. I waited as Hiccup climbed down the path. I thought I smelled eel, but I wasn't sure.
I set the gear down and went into my Night Fury form. I let Hiccup look at my tail and then he set the basket down. Toothless came from the cave and I reeled back. Eel!
Toothless nosed around and found it. "Get that thing away from us!" he roared. Hiccup picked it up and threw it away. I snorted and looked at Hiccup.
"That's okay. I don't like eel either." He said.
"Eel poisons us." I said, sitting beside Toothless. Hiccup nodded and got to work. I laughed as Toothless dove forward to get some fish in the basket.
Hiccup yelped and I looked behind me. He was sitting on Toothless' tail, fanning the tail out. "Well... it works for now." Hiccup said. Beside me, Toothless was wiggling his tail.
His wings droped in disbelief. "The weight." He said. I looked at him just in time to see him try to fly away.
"Toothless!" I called, flying after him. He turned to the right and looked at his tail. Hiccup was holding the fin out and Toothless snorted.
He banked hard and flung Hiccup off of his tail, over the lake. I landed at the water's edge and watched as Toothless crashed into the water. "Yes! It worked!" Hiccup yelled. I shook my head sadly.
