I am so sorry for being late. I had a really bad writer's block, that's also the reason why there wasn't a chapter for any other story since wednesday last week. Enjoy everyone!

Kapitel 10

[Later that evening, he flips open the book, reading its contents]

HICCUP

„Dragon classifications. Strike Class, Fear Class, Mystery Class. Thunderdrum: This reclusive dragon inhabits sea caves and dark tide pools. When startled, the Thunderdrum produces a concussive sound that can kill a man at close range. Extremely dangerous, kill on sight."

Dangerous? Only partially. Kill them? Not necessary.

„Timberjack: This gigantic creature has razor sharp wings that can slice through full grown trees. Extremely dangerous, kill on sight."

This guy too was only dangerous when threatened.

„Scauldron: Sprays scalding water at its victim. Extremely dangerous."

Ok, the Scauldron sometimes attacks on its own without any threat at all.

„Changewing: Even newly hatched dragons can spray acid. Kill on sight."

So those are really not quite harmless. But when you know what to do you can easily get away from this danger.

[Thunder rumbles outside and startles Hiccup. When he looks back at the book the pictures seem to move.]

„Gronckle, Zippleback, The Skrill, Boneknapper, Whispering Death. Burns its victims, buries its victims, chokes its victims, turns its victims inside-out. Extremely dangerous, extremely dangerous, kill on sight, kill on sight, kill on sight..."

Every dragon has a weakness which you can take advantage of. So it's not necessary to kill a dragon as long as you know what to do.

[He reaches the night fury page, which contains no proper information or pictures at all.]

„Night Fury: Speed, unknown. Size, unknown. The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. Never engage this dragon. Your only chance: Hide and pray it does not find you."

I couldn't help laughing. This description was pretty much the complete opposite of Toothless who was more like an oversized cat.

[He hesitates for a moment and then places his notebook, the night fury sketch opened, on the dragon book.]

[Scene cuts to several longships gliding through fog]

STOICK

„I can almost smell them. They're close. Steady. Take us in."

VIKING

„Hard to port... for Helheim's gate."

[The boats disappear in the fog. A sudden jumpscare shows dragons attacking.]

I'm sorry that I'm going to say it this way. But who goes looking for dragons and their nests should be prepared to encounter them.

I really hope for my writer's block to be over soon. See ya next time. Bye.
