Kapitel 8
[Hiccup is weighing the bola with his hands]
HICCUP
„So, why didn't you?
Because it isn't in their nature to attack humans.
[Hiccup enters a cove, surveying its emptiness]
HICCUP
„Well, this was stupid."
[He finds some shiny black dragon scales on the floor. He picks one up.]
[The Night Fury swoops past him, but falls back onto the ground, trying to settle down on the cove. Hiccup hides at the entrance and tries to make a sketch of it]
I had to suppress a terrified scream and after that tried to stabilize my heartbeat and my breathing again.
HICCUP
„Why don't you just... fly away?"
[As he makes a sketch, he notices the Night Fury is missing one of its tail fins. He erases the fin on his drawing but he slips and drops his pencil, drawing the Night Fury's attention. It stares up at him in recognition.]
So, because this is a really, really short chapter (only 150 words excluding the author's note) I decided to ... *drumroll* ... upload two chapters at once! Surprise! The next chapter will be up in a few minutes.
