****Hicca's POV****

"Hicca!" I heard my name being shouted from behind me. I turned and saw Snotlout, my cousin. I looked at him and sighed.

"What do you want?" I said in a cold, harsh tone.

You're probably saying something like why is she so mean to him, if they're family? I mean after all, he has bullied me for as long as I can remember, as well as the twins. The twins are two stupid blondes who like to fight each other, and hurt me. (I say this because not all blondes are stupid…Just look at Austen.)

"That reminds me, I need my mace fixed, the handle is cracked. But, that's not what I'm here for..." He looked at me for a moment then continued. "I'm here because Gobber sent me."

"Okay?" He stared at me, creating an awkward silence. After a few minutes

"Yea, he wants you to go see him in the kill ring."

Oh the kill ring, a place of testosterone and blood. It's also the place where vikings go to prove their strength, get practice or let their anger out on the dragons that are locked up in the cells. All teens go into something called "dragon training when their parents think they are capable. With my luck, I won't ever be in dragon training. Right now I don't know if that's good or bad.

Now don't get me wrong, I know that being in dragon training is a big milestone in your life, especially in Berk, but I'm not sure if I want to even be in it after meeting toothless. What happens is that Gobber releases a different type of dragon each class for you to battle. There are four-no five types of dragons that are caged in the kill ring.

First there is the Hideous Zippleback. It's a two headed dragon with green scales and spikes going down each neck and it's back. Second there's the gronckle which is a fat, short, and slow dragon that is a yellowish-orange color. Unlike other dragons, it eats rocks then barfes them up… weird right? (If I have to fight any dragon, I want it to be a gronckle.) Third we have the Deadly Nadder, it can be blue, or purple and shoots poisonous spikes out of it's tail. Not fun. Fourth, we have the terrible terror. It's a tiny dragon but don't let that fool you, it's still a dangerous dragon. They can be any color and have huge eyes, like huge as in they shouldn't even fit on their , we have the most terrifying dragon of all… the Monstrous Nightmare! It's whole body can catch on fire and it's a reddish-brown color, as well as a huge dragon size wise. That's why its the champion's fight. Whoever wins dragon training gets to kill the Monstrous Nightmare, getting the glory and praise of Berk.

I'm pulled out of my thoughts when I suddenly see Snotlout snapping his fingers in front of my face. As I tune in, I realise he has been speaking, probably for a while now.

"-cca? HICCA!"

"Huh? What?"

"Listen up loser, I was telling you that Gobber wanted to see you now."

"Uhh, ok thanks." With that I moved around him, or at least tried to. He blocked my path and went closer and closer to me until he was right in front of me, his toes touching mine. He leaned in close, causing me to lean backwards, away from him.

"Don't tell anyone about this conversation, it would ruin my image. Got it?" As he said this he suddenly jerked forwards. causing me to jump backwards.

"This doesn't even count as a conversation you just told me where I had to go. This was completely one-sided." He grew red and looked ready to yell. So I hurriedly said "But yea yea got it. The message has been received and will be followed." I smiled nervously and went around him once more, successfully this time and ran away, towards the kill ring.


Yea... This is just a little something to keep you satisfied while I study for finals (EW), but I will update either sometime next week, or the week after that. I will say that the upcoming chapter is full of action and drama. So stay tuned and review! :)
