Note: Now we finally get to the chapter where our OC meet those from Berk, but a bad encounter of the past will cause a fight in the present, we will meet someone from Chapter 3, but it won't be a friendly encounter.
"Your one past enemy, a future friend, it all can change in the present, if you allow yourself to…" – Unknown.
We will also learn how Shimmer learned to fly, might write a separate short story about that…
Shimmer (OC)
The raining has stopped early in the day on Wingmaiden island, it is peaceful now, most still in their beds.
Well not us…
Me and storm were awake early after the rain has stopped falling, the baby Razorwhip still fast asleep.
We decided to go for a little bit of a race…
We agreed upon it to race to the nearest sea stack and back, a little bit of friendly competition.
We took our stand and faced to the nearest sea stack off to the south.
"Ready?"
"Ready"
I opened my wings as did storm.
"Set"
"Set"
I crouched low…
"GO"
We both took off…
We were neck to neck for the first half…
I adjusted my wings slightly and took up speed
Storm fell behind as I take the lead
She tried to make up for lost ground, barely keeping up…
We got to the sea stack and I tucked in my one wing and completely turned myself around, and I gave one heavy beat of my wings, I took up speed again…
Storm could not turn as fast as I could and fell behind.
I flapped a few times and started gliding along the water, causing a bit of a disturbance on the water.
I pulled up a bit to fly along the beach.
Storm was slowly closing in but still a bit behind…
I started to pick up speed, nearing the end of the race.
The end of the race is the training grounds,
I shot through the last distance and landed with a back flap on the training ground seconds before Storm arrived.
"That was fun!"
"Yes it was", "Your very fast… How did you turn so fast?"
"Umm… I just pulled in my one wing to turn around… I'm not really sure, I just do it without thinking…"
She gave me a purr.
"You are a strange kin"
"If you say so…"
She came over and nuzzled my neck
"Hey… it's not over we still have to…"
"You two are up early, having a race, Yes?"
"Uh Yeah".
"Good, I just got word that the storm is nearing its end, possibly by the end of this day…"
"Great, that is good, we should prepare to depart, there are a few things I still want to do before leaving".
"So we are leaving soon?"
"Yes".
"When then?"
"As soon as sky are clear".
"O Shimmer, you should go get Your Razorwhip, we are going to have the first flying lessons, you should be there, it will be the last lesson".
"Okay… but we should really get her a name…"
I took flight and headed to the hut.
I arrived to the hut to be greeted by a lively little Razorwhip.
"My you are wide awake and full of life, little one…"
"Yyaaa"
I stared at her in surprise, it's the first time I heard her say anything, So Razorwhip's can talk…
"Come here, what should I name you, hmm?"
Squeak
She jumped onto my back and wrapped her tail around my neck again.
"Let's go…"
"Yyee"
I took flight and found Atali at the training grounds with a few others with their Razorwhips included.
"Today we are going to have your last lesson, this is an important lesson for you and your Razorwhip, this lesson is all about trust, today you are going to fly…"
There were a few that were clearly nervous, and others were very excited.
Okay now how am I going to do this… I can already fly… oh this is not going to be pleasant…
"Atali, how should I get her to fly…"
"How did you learn to fly?"
And she had to ask that… just great…
"I… um… fell, I fell from Cloudjumpers back… I guess instincts kicked in and allowed me to fly without thinking about it… wait, he might have done it on purpose…"
"Hmm how interesting… it might work".
"What, by dropping her?!"
"Oh don't worry, it will be safe…"
"Oh ok", "When?"
"Now",
She turned around and beckoned everyone to follow her.
We walked to a cliff overlooking a pond and a waterfall.
"you should each trust each other and take the leap"
Jump off of the cliff, they did…
One by one they all jumped and came up shortly afterwards flying with their Razorwhips on the wing.
Then they all were in the air…
My turn I guess…
"Are you ready to fly little one?"
"Yyaaw".
I took flight and went high, Atali were below looking up at me…
Ok its go time
I picked up the Razorwhip and readied the drop,
I dropped her…
She was falling for a short distance before she started flapping, and finally flying.
Good thing for the slight wind, good for gliding.
I went down and joined her on the wing,
Her silvery wings were making the characteristic sound all Razorwhips wings make…
Silver wings…
Silverwing…
That might work…
We both back down to the ground, and were met by Atali first.
"That went well".
"Yes… Thank the Gods for that".
Laughter broke out among those gathered.
"Yes indeed"
"O Atali, what do you think of Silverwing?"
I looked over at the Razorwhip on my back.
"Silverwing, a good name".
The Razorwhip looked up at Atali at the mention of the name.
"You like that name, hey?"
"Yyaaasss".
"Well that's settled then, Silverwing it is".
Silverwing hummed in delight.
I looked up to see the clouds starting to depart.
Great, the storm is over.
"I should get something to eat and then get some rest".
"Good idea, I'll look at the map and plan the safest path for you to Berk, I also have a message for Hiccup, the chief of Berk".
"Ok ill meet you at the hut later then".
"Yes"
I took flight to get some food for me, Storm and Silverwing.
See you soon Valka…
The sun were low on the horizon when we woke again, Atali just arrived to give us the supplies, which I carried, along with the message.
I gave my last farewells and took flight, heading South east to Berk.
Hiccup (POV)
The storm broke during the early hours of the day, after a week of harsh winds and heavy showers of rain, it was one of the worst in years, but yet again we got through the worst of it.
Other than that, it is pretty much the normal same old day on Berk… Well normal for Berk…
I went on with my daily duties as Chief and on my spare time I'm in the forge working on my new flight suit design, I had a little problem with it being destroyed by fire and of course by toothless continued assault of his tongue, Night fury spit Never washes out…
And I do take an occasional flight with toothless at every chance I get… even if it means getting up earlier than the others, it is all worth it though.
I was about to take a short flight with toothless when…
"Hiccup!"
"Ah Yes, What now Gobber?"
"Ye got Terror mail from Dagur and Heather, thy ar' coming soon".
"Great,"
"oh and you have some chiefly duties to tend to in the great hall".
"Well looks like our flight will have to wait a bit Bud".
Grunt.
"Yeah I know".
After a few hours of complaints and many words exchanged and wasted, I finally got a chance to myself.
Both me and toothless slipped away to take a flight in the late hours of the day, we returned home before dark, tired of a long day of work, I fell asleep soon.
I was again as usual awaken early by toothless jumping on me and licking me awake…
"Augh… Toothless… Stop… I'm up I'm up, it doesn't wash out, why do you keep on doing that".
"you should find a better way to wake me up…"
I suddenly felt cold water hit me from behind as I turned away from toothless
"Augh! Really? I guess that would work… and I hope that was clean… Oh never mind".
Toothless laughed.
I changed into my flight attire, flight suit and helm.
Both me and toothless snuck out without anyone noticing and took to the air.
The sun just started to rise above the horizon as we flew.
We were flying now for a few minutes… then we saw two figures on one of the sea stacks.
"Let's take a closer look Bud".
The two figures noticed us and took to the wing, they are dragons, but by the looks of it, they are not those of Berk.
I then saw the dragons, the one is a Sand wraith, but the other one is not like any I have ever seen before.
Toothless suddenly gave out a call to the two dragons, the Sand wraith reacted and came closer before stopping after the other gave out a call.
"How did you not…"
Toothless gave a clear Growl to the other strange dragon.
The two dragons dived and went to Berk, as did Toothless.
"Whoa! Toothless! What are you…?"
Toothless faced the other two dragons.
"Follow them Bud"
Follow he did.
The two dragons looked at each other and then I saw that there was something on the strange dragons back, another dragon, possibly a baby…
The smaller dragon went over to the Sand wraiths back, right before they broke apart from each other.
The Sand wraith and the smaller dragon went into the woods, as for the other one…
The other dragon completely flipped itself around and flew right past us and gave a roar to us.
Toothless followed him.
"wow this dragon is fast".
We chased after the odd dragon, it was mostly dark blue with some green in between and on its spines, it was very slender with large wings and a long tail, obviously built for speed and agility.
The dragon looked back at us before looking at Berk, it suddenly picked up speed and turned for the village.
Toothless released a plasma blast at the dragon, and I were surprised to see that the dragon was able to avoid the blast completely before the blast exploded, it went through the fire unaffected, except for a faint shimmer.
It suddenly pulled up its wings and turned to face us, I saw the dragon shoot an amber colored ball at the tail lock lever, locking toothless tailfin and at the same time preventing me from unlocking it.
"Oh great, it can shoot amber and is clever, just our luck".
It went to the great hall and landed at the foot of the stairs.
"Ok toothless let's go land".
Toothless landed a few feet away from this other dragon, the other dragon held its wings half open readied, it is slightly bigger than toothless, but not by much.
I climbed off of Toothless, a few people started to gather, those who were outside,
I suddenly saw the Sand wraith swoop down and land right behind the other dragon with a baby Razorwhip on her back.
But the oddest thing was that the strange dragon had a small bag hanging from its neck, over its shoulder.
"Hey Hiccup what is… O Gods…"
"Eret…?"
I heard a very deep growl… from the strange dragon…
Shimmer (OC)
We flew most of the night with a strong tailwind to aid us in our flight, we arrived earlier at Berk than expected, we decided to go rest on one of the Sea stacks, which there were plenty of until dawn breaks.
that should not be too long.
I woke up as soon as I felt the warmth of the sun on my scales as the first rays of light started to touch the world again.
I yawned.
I nudged Storm on her wing.
"Hey wake up, it's time…"
A fleck of movement caught my eye, a dark shape approaching us from the island.
"Oh great, I hope they are friendly".
"Storm take flight, Silverwing get on my back and hold on".
We took flight and faced the approaching dragon… and rider…
"Dragon rider!"
They stopped some distance away from us, It was a Night fury, but with half of his tailfin is read…
That's odd… why…
The Night fury roared out a command of an Alpha, a command to follow him…
I saw Storm going to the Night fury…
"Storm! Stop!"
"It's an Alpha… We…"
"An Alpha but not our Alpha".
She shook her head and returned to my side.
The Night fury or Alpha gave a growl loud enough to be heard from such a distance.
"Storm! Dive and head straight for the island".
She dived at the same time I did.
The Night fury followed us…
I looked back to see the Night fury quickly catching up to us.
"Augh it's too fast".
I looked around and saw a forest to the left.
I might be able to outrun it but Storm will not be able…
"Storm, you take Silverwing and head for the woods to the left, I will lead them away to the village, you follow shortly after us if I land".
"Yes, just be careful".
"You too'
"Silverwing, go to Storm"
Silverwing flapped over to storm and braced herself as she turned to the forest.
Okay let's do this
I flipped myself around heading straight for the Night fury, I shot past the Night fury…
At that moment everything slowed down a bit, as I noticed the saddle and the metal contraptions that are connected to the red prosthetic tailfin, and the rider is a bit small for a Viking, and had a prosthetic metal leg which is connected to an odd mechanism that controls the tailfin, the Night fury can't fly without his rider…
I let out a roar for the Night fury, knowing full well that it will follow me now.
"Come and get me!"
I shot past them and looked back to see the Night fury quickly turn around and follow me.
He's fast… but is he fast enough.
I gained altitude with every flap of my wings, I looked around and saw the village up ahead, there's a big building which should be the great hall, that's where I'll go first.
I turned to the direction of the Great hall, I noticed how much ice there were on the island that were slowly melting away, and then I saw the large amount of dragons flying around the village.
This is where all the dragons went…
I sobbingly heard a soft hissing sound, I knew then what the Night fury was intending to do.
I ducked slightly to my right and pulled in my right wing to make a roll.
The next moment I saw a bright purple ball of plasma shooting past me, I closed my eyes in time before being blinded by the flash as it exploded in midair leaving behind a ring of fire, I went straight through unaffected, other than the shimmer of my scales.
Augh, if they want to play that game, then let's play!
I opened my wings and turned around to face my pursuer, I saw a small lever that were clearly connected to the tailfin.
I wonder what that's for, maybe to lock the tail in place… let's find out.
I shot a ball of ember right at the lever, hitting the mark dead on, before either of them could react. They suddenly slowed down as the tail locked in place.
Ah ha Knew it!
I turned back to the village and dived to the foot of the stairs leading to the Great hall.
I waited for the two to land, having little difficulty at it.
I readied my wings in preparation to fly or to fight.
I'm slightly larger than the Night fury and also taller.
But I don't know how strong he is…
but he Is an Alpha and if I'm correct, then he must have defeated the previous Alpha, the same Alpha who killed my Alpha, a Bewilderbeast, he must be a formidable opponent.
The rider climbed off of the Night fury and slowly stepped closer.
I noticed a few people gathering around us, some with dragons others without, many dragons also started to gather around us, most stayed in the air, many of these dragons I reconcile from the Nest.
They are all here, that's great…
I heard Storm suddenly land right behind me, the Rider looked at Storm and then to the Silverwing, His gaze then turned back to me and he saw my bag around my neck, I could not tell if it was surprise or confusion in his eyes, possibly both.
Then a very familiar voice called out, a voice I haven't heard in a long time.
"Hey Hiccup what is… O Gods…"
I saw from where the voice was coming from
"Eret…?"
I let out a very deep growl at the man. The same man who declared himself to be the greatest dragon trapper alive.
I shouted out for everyone to hear.
"Eret Son of Eret… Dragon Trapper!"
Everyone flinched and many including Eret, covered their ears.
I readied a blast and shot directly at him, but he was saved by a blue Deadly Nadder and a green Rumblehorn, both dragons clearly protecting him.
I saw a slight motion from the Night fury, I jumped back to avoid its attack, the Night fury missed me and faced me again.
"Toothless Stop…"
I saw that the Night fury had a faint blue glow being emitted from his spine.
I felt my scales shift and shimmer as if in preparation for the fight.
that's new…
We both clashed against each other in force, I managed to stand my ground, just barely.
We separated and started circling each other again.
He is strong, fast, agile, smart… this is not going to end well if this doesn't stop soon.
He blasted a Plasma blast at me, I pulled up my wings in front of me to block the blast, my scales shimmered a bright purple as it struck me, leaving no damage.
I looked back at the Night fury to see him releasing another blast, this time much stronger.
I released a Plasma blast right into his and caused a bright white flash as the two collided,
I shimmered at that moment to appear invisible,
I quietly slipped past the Night fury and rammed into him causing him to fall on his back,
I revealed myself and I wrapped my tail around him to keep him in place.
I was suddenly struck from the side by a blast from a Nadder.
I landed a few feet away from the Night fury who were still on the ground, it roared to the Nadder a command to fire.
It turned to me and fired a blast of fire right at me, I covered myself in my wings before the torrent of fire reached me, as soon as the torrent of fire stopped, I looked up and saw that a large crowd of dragons and Vikings were gathered around. The Night fury shot another Plasma blast at me and it struck the strap of my bag, it did not burn the bag but did break the strap.
It was enough to anger me in a state or rage.
I lowered my head and started to gather the last gas into one large blast, I were going to do the same blast I used on Wingmaiden island, the one I used to destroy the rock but with a plasma blast combination extra.
I faced my attackers and… Saw Valka standing in front of me holding out a hand to me…
What am I doing… this is not me…?
I knew that it's too late to stop…
I looked away to a large chunk of ice in the distance… I released the blast…
The blast flew straight to the ice and exploded into a large mass of fire and electricity before giving off a large shockwave that shattered and crumbled all of the surrounding ice leaving I ringing in the air and a cloud of ice, dust and snow in its wake.
All energy left me at that moment and I barely managed to take a step forwards, toward Valka…
I barely managed to speak…
"Valka…? Is… is that you…?"
"Shimmer?", "Yes".
We both looked at each other.
"It have been so long..."
I looked back to the Night fury who were standing there alongside his rider, he was still tense but seems to have calmed down a bit.
I then saw Cloudjumper behind the Night fury,
"Cloudjumper?"
"Yes little one?"
"Oh please stop calling me little one…"
I suddenly heard a few people stiffen a laugh at that especially Valka.
Oops I forgot to not speak through the mind…
Many other people were nervous to hear me speak.
I turned my gaze to the rider of the Night fury, he has removed his helmet and were looking at me with a look on his face that I could not recognize,
I remembered the name Eret spoke, the same name Atali said, Hiccup, the Chief of Berk.
"Hiccup?"
I noticed a smell on him, a scent, similar to that of Valka, but also different.
"Uh Do… do I know you…?"
I looked at Valka and immediately saw it, I remember the stories Valka told me… the stories of her Son, Hiccup…"
I looked at Hiccup and saw it then, he is Valka's Son.
"No… but your mother do…"
I looked at Valka to see the confirmation in her eyes.
Both Valka and Hiccup were in shock.
"I… I am very sorry… Hiccup… I did not know… Chief…"
I went to where my bag was laying on the ground, I picked it up and took out the letter from Atali.
Silverwing flew to me as soon as I called.
I turned my gaze to hiccup and walked closer.
"What is that…"
"This is from Atali, the leader of the Wingmaidens, for your eyes only".
I handed the letter to Hiccup and returned to Valka.
"I am sorry, for everything…"
"Why, what caused it… this…"
I looked over to Eret who were standing next to a Rumblehorn.
She followed my gaze and understood why.
"He is no longer a trapper, he is good now, he is one of us".
I looked down searching for an answer, finding none.
"I'm sorry, I did not Know…"
"All is good now, it's over, all you can do is make peace"
"Yes I'll try"
"My how you have Grown"
I looked up at Valka in surprise.
Why the sudden change in topic?
"Um yes I have grown allot…Why…?"
"And how you can talk with your thoughts and mimic…"
"Valka… I'll explain everything…", "I missed you".
I went over to Valka and nuzzled her neck.
"Ooh so did I… we both actually".
I looked back to see Cloudjumper staring at me,
I hummed in response.
I looked over to Storm sitting alone on the stairs.
"Hey, Storm come over here!"
She got to her feet and bounded closer with clear excitement.
"Good fight… Who is this?"
"This is Valka, the one who rescued me".
She gave a hum
"Valka, this is Storm, I rescued her from trappers after I left the nest".
"Ooh that might be some story".
"Yes, but later…"
"first time I ever saw a Sand wraith with such coloration, she is… special".
"Yes, yes she is".
"And your Son?"
"I found him while we were searching for you… we… the nest…"
"We can talk about it later…"
"Shimmer? Right?"
I looked over to Hiccup who were walking to Valka and me.
"Yes?"
"Thanks for bringing me the letter, it's good to know that Atali will be here soon and to hear about the… happenings…"
"I… It's the least I could do for…", "I'm sorry, I did not know… Eret… sorry for my outburst"
"O don't worry, we understand, isn't that right, Toothless?"
Grunt.
"Yes…"
I looked over to Toothless
"I'm sorry for attacking… I was only defending myself… I …"
He looked at my, with a bit of anger, hurt and something else in his expressions
I bowed slightly to him.
"I forgive you… even after everything".
I looked up to meet his green eyes, I saw that the anger is now gone.
Squawk
I looked over to Silverwing who were still on my back,
"Who is this?", Valka asked
"Oh this is Silverwing, she is a rescued Razorwhip, who were injured, I healed her wing and after that took to me after the… Transition, she is not from Wingmaiden island",
"Atali did say such in the letter you gave me…"
"A new dragon!"
O No what now!
I noticed a big chubby guy with a Gronckle along with others of the same age,
"Fishlegs calm down".
I heard him squirm from excitement,
This must be the fellow who Atali mentioned about, I thought she was over exaggerating, clearly not.
"Atali warned me about you",
He suddenly went silent in shock as did the others,
"It can talk!"
"Yes of course… Fishlegs?"
"Okay my mind is now blown".
"Hehe… Not yet…"
"Oh cool", "Oh cool", both of the twins spoke simultaneously.
"Oh double trouble, Great"
"Yeah you got that right", Hiccup answered.
"Hiccup! What is going on, and why is Stormfly… What the…"
I saw the same blue Deadly Nadder that protected Eret and also who knocked me off of toothless come closer to stand next to the blond haired… shield maiden or…
"Hi Astrid, how nice of you to join in on the excitement, you just missed the… fight…"
"Fight… what fight and what new dragon is this…"
"I do have a name, you can call me Shimmer, and you are Astrid? Right?"
"A talking dragon, O God now I have seen everything".
"No not yet".
"Yeah I'll explain everything later", Hiccup answered.
"Agreed, I'm now too tired to explain anything'.
"Augh there goes that…", I heard Fishlegs mumble.
"Fishlegs"
He tensed at the mention of his name
"Uh… Yes?"
"We can talk a bit later… but now I'll lend you my book… until we meet again".
"Oh thanks".
"Do not lose it!"
"Uh Ok" he squirmed
I looked over to the twins and another short statured stocky guy with a Monstrous nightmare.
Those three look like trouble to me.
"I'll talk to everyone later, it will be a long story, now I need rest",
"Yeah sure thing, I believe my mother will want to talk to you".
"Yeah I know, allot to catch up on"
"Thanks for not… hurting toothless or…"
"Thank Valka, she snapped me out of it, but I have to thank you, Chief…"
At that I turned and walked after Valka and Cloudjumper with Storm following behind me and Silverwing on my back.
I fell asleep next to Valka's hut after the short talk with Valka about what happened after I left the nest to where I came back to find the nest destroyed and to where I traveled alongside with Storm to where I ended up on Wingmaiden island and then here on Berk, I tried to make it short and painless, but it still took a long time, to which I fell asleep shortly afterwards.
But as it recently goes, I always end up being awaken by a very energetic Silverwing…
For a blind baby dragon, she has allot of energy, especially at times when I don't.
Today is no exception, giving a loud caw in my ears… or whatever dragons have to hear with, as not all dragons have ears.
"Augh… Ok, ok I'm up, please stop cawing in my ears… you are very loud…", I looked at Silverwing to see a satisfied look on her face, "Oh of course you knew that already, that's why you do that… Clever one".
"Yeee!"
"Let's get us something to eat, preferably cooked!"
She Hummed in response.
I looked over to see Storm still sleeping soundly.
Oh I'll leave her to sleep… for now…
Maybe bring her back a nice big fish.
I looked around to see if there are any place I could get something to eat…
I saw the same blond chubby guy with the Gronckle…
What was his name again… something fish…?
I thought at what made his name so strange, then I remembered that fish can't walk on land because fish do not have legs…
Fish with legs… Fishlegs, what an odd name…
I decided to ask him where I can get some food, and maybe some slugs for Silverwing.
I sprinted a short distance before I launched myself into the air.
I landed in front of Fishlegs, startling him a bit, he gave out a short, soft yelp.
"Hi there Fishlegs, have you learned anything new?"
"Uh yeah… Not much but there were a few things…" he got a confused look on his face, "I saw that you have no information on Night furies, Why?"
"Uh well… How do I put this… lightly…"? I saw the worried look in his face, "Toothless is the only known Night fury alive… There are no other Night furies alive anymore". I made sure that only Fishlegs could hear what I said.
"Wait. What? How?" He looked shocked and surprised, but I sensed that he already knew that…
"…I…" I stopped before I could say more, I knew why there were no more Night furies left.
He noticed my pause and gave me a questioning look.
I raked my brain for a good answer, but could not think of one without lying to him…
I sighed in defeat…
I looked up at him and gave him a very serious look.
"They were all killed… All except for Toothless…" He gasped at my words.
"How…? Who…" I interrupted him abruptly.
"Shhh…! Do not tell anyone!"
Fishlegs flinched a bit.
"Uh… ok sure… "
I did not come here to talk about this…
"Fishlegs, lets rather change the subject, and quick." He gave me a Questioning look but did not question me why.
"I actually wanted to know where I can get something to eat..."
"Oh yeah, of course… What do you want?"
"Hmm, I don't know… Maybe some fish for me and Storm…"
"Storm?"
"The Sand wraith"
"O got ya", he looked over to Silverwing on my back and his eyebrows lifted a bit
"And some slugs for… The Razorwhip…"
"Her name is Silverwing".
"Right". He looks nervous, I understand why.
"Uh follow me then".
Fishlegs went over to a nearby storehouse, he ducked inside and came out a few seconds later with a small basket of fish,
"Sorry but there are no slugs left… but we will soon have some again".
"Ah it's okay, fish will do just fine".
"Okay good, here you go", he gave me the basket of fish.
"Thanks", I were about to leave when I heard him ask…
"When can we talk?"
I looked around before I answered
"Uh… I don't know… is there any place where we can talk? preferably where it's much more quiet".
"Hmm, maybe the old dragon academy…" he looked over to an old looking dragon arena.
I looked up to see the sun almost halfway across the sky.
"Meat you there within two hours' time, is that good?"
"Yes that's good". He is very excited and obviously hyped up about it.
"I'll go tell the others quickly". He announced before flying off on the poor Gronckle.
I returned to a still sleeping Storm, this will make me feel half guilty to wake her.
I nudged her shoulder lightly to wake her up, it did not work, I nudged harder, no response.
"Oh Silverwing, do you wanna give it a try, hmm?"
She jumped off of my back onto Storm before giving her a soft screech, and quickly jumped off of her when she stirred and grumbled.
"Storm…"
She gave a soft moan before she slowly opened her eyes to a slight crack.
"Rise and shine, Storm".
"Uhm. Wwhyyy?"
"I got you some fish, and it's fresh…"
The mention of fish was all she needed, she perked up and shook the sleep off.
I tipped over the basket of fish and gave her the larger one of the lot.
She purred at me.
"Thanks"
I only gave her a smile.
I looked at some the small fishes and picked out a few of those for Silverwing
I cooked it slightly before giving it to Silverwing.
"Yeee fisss". She ate the fish with gusto.
I picked out a few fish and cooked them with my fire before I ate them, or rather swallowed some of them whole, since most dragons do not chew their food.
Afterwards, we parted, Storm went flying, where me and Silverwing went ahead and went to this Dragon academy training ring.
Fishlegs were already there, busy with Thor know what…
The whole Arena's dome was lifted and were hanging from a large chain.
I went and landed inside of the Arena, the place was obviously not used for a long time.
"Ah your early"
"So are you"
"Oh I'm just cleaning and preparing…" he trailed off when Toothless landed alongside a blue Nadder along with their riders.
What a surprise, Spectators!
The Nadder is allot calmer now.
"Oh hi there, nice of you to join!"
"Uh yeah sure?" Hiccup answered.
"Fishlegs, why are we here again?".
"Astrid, just watch and you will know…"
She just sighed.
"Shimmer? That's your name right?"
"Yes Fishlegs"
"Do you mind showing us what fire… you have".
"What?... oh okay… on what can I…"
I noticed a practice dummy at the far wall.
"On that?" I pointed at the dummy.
"Yes but we do have other things…"
"Like?"
"Shields, statues…" Hiccup interrupted
"What statues?... Oh never mind".
"Okay lets…" I started before I heard and smelled the approach of the Zippleback with their twin riders.
Oh no, double trouble,
"Why are you two knuckleheads here?"
"Uh to see things blow up, what else". The male twin answered,
"Yeah", the female twin piped in.
I'm now slightly annoyed at the arrival of those two.
"Who else is still coming?" I asked Fishlegs
"Only Valka and…"
Just at that moment I saw Valka on Cloudjumper arrive with another on a Nightmare.
I was happy to see Valka and Cloudjumper but not him…"
"Is that everyone?"
"Yes"
"Can we begin?"
He nodded
I looked at the practice dummy and prepared myself to breath fire…
"What's your shot limit", Fishlegs suddenly asked.
Hmm good question
"I don't know… let's find out".
"okay give us a weak blast first".
I turned to the dummy, the dummy was standing a short distance from the wall.
I blasted the dummy with one of my weak blasts of white fire, knocking the dummy against the wall,
I heard Fishlegs say medium…
I blasted it with a medium blast leaving the dummy with black burn marks and a few flames still on the dummy.
I waited for Fishlegs to say it…
"Full blast"
I charged up the gas and released the ignited gas that formed a very bright blinding light of white fire, it struck the dummy in a bright white flash.
After a few seconds of blindness, I saw that there was nothing left of the practice dummy.
Both of the twins and Fishlegs spoke up at the same time the same thing.
"Whoa"
I looked over to them and saw amazement in their faces, all except for the Short stocky guy with the Nightmare.
"That's one powerful blast" Hiccup answered
"Next", Everyone looked at me then.
"What, I have more than just that…"
Both twins looked at each other and grinned
Fishlegs placed another dummy where the previous one were.
"I suggest to everyone who has metal on them to stand back" I looked at Toothless and Hiccup.
Most everyone stepped back.
I turned to the dummy and focused a little, I felt the energy coursing over my scales and the strange gas building up, I know not how this gas can cause such a high charge in such a way…
I released it and a bright bolt of fiery lightning exploded around the practice dummy leaving a few large holes where the lightning made contact.
"Whoa, multiple fire types". "very much like a Dramillion".
"Are you done?"
"how many fire types do you have?"
"Hmm I don't know, many"
"Ah cool, imagine what we can do…" I heard the male twin say.
"No, you are not doing anything".
"Augh" both twins groaned
I smiled
"Ok next"
Let's go for… Acid?
I shot a small green ball of acid at the dummy and watched the dummy melt and burn away within seconds.
I heard the guy with the Nightmare mumble something about it not being very impressive. And heard the twins go on about all of the things they can could and can do. Adding to the guy with the nightmares annoyance.
I saw Fishlegs place a stone statue with some help from his Gronckle a few paces away from the puddle of acid, he quickly got out of the way.
"Okay let's try something new that I have learned…"
I charged up a Plasma blast
I released and blew the statue hard against the far wall.
"can you mimic fire from all dragons?"
"Maybe… I have done so to all those of whom fire I got into contact with…"
"into contact… like direct contact to their fire?"
"yes, but it's not just limited to fire…"
At this point I noticed an argument has started to break out between the twins.
I decided to shut them up a little, or with amber or by flightmare mist…
"Fishlegs, should I do amber or mist?"
"wait… what? Mist…"
I looked at the twins and shot each a small light blue ball which exploded into a small mist cloud where it struck, they both got paralyzed within seconds. And everyone stared in shock at the twins before breaking out in laughter.
O this is going to be a long day…
