Chapter 02

Hiccup woke up moaning and feeling pain on his face, he then sat up and he looked around, he was confuse on where he was but then he remembered why he was out here. He found the Night Fury all tide up, he had the chance to kill it but he didn't do it, instead he set the dragon free, he thought he was going to die when the dragon pounced him but instead gave him a headache with his loud roar and then he fainted. Hiccup looks up and saw that it was night time, he really needed to get back before his father gets mad at him again. He got up and went straight home.

When he reached the door he opens it slowly and quietly sneaked in. Hiccup noticed his father poking at the fireplace distracted, he quickly went towards stairs to go to his room, he was almost there but then his father spoke.

"Hiccup"

"Dad. Uh… I, uh... I have to talk to you, Dad" said Hiccup.

"I need to speak with you too, son" said Stoick.

They both stayed quiet and then said what they wanted to say to each other.

"I've decided I don't want to…"

"I think it's time you learn to…"

"To fight dragons" they both said in unison.

"What?" they both said confuse.

"You go first" offered Stoick.

"No, you go first" insisted Hiccup.

"Alright, you get your wish. Dragon training, you start in the morning" said Stoick.

"Oh man, I should've gone first" said Hiccup starting to panic "Uh, 'cause I was thinking, you know we have a surplus of dragon-fighting Vikings, but do we have enough bread-making Vikings, or small home Repair Vikings-" he began to babble in panic.

"You'll need this" said Stoick not listening to Hiccup as he handed him an axe almost making him fall.

"I don't want to fight dragons" says Hiccup.

"Come on. Yes, you do" laughed Stoick

"Rephrase. Dad I can't kill dragons" Hiccup explain.

"But you will kill dragons"

"No, I'm really very extra sure that I won't" said Hiccup trying to get through his father.

"It's time Hiccup"

"Can you not hear me?"

"This is serious son!" says Stoick as he look at Hiccup with a serious face "When you carry this axe, you carry all of us with you. This means you walk like us, you talk like us, you think like us. No more of... this" he said gesturing specifically at Hiccup.

"You just gestured to all of me" said Hiccup, feeling a bit hurt.

"Deal?" asked Stoick.

"This conversation is feeling very one-sided" said Hiccup annoyed that his father wasn't listening to him like always.

"DEAL?!" Stoick asked again.

Hiccup sigh in defeat seeing that there is no way in getting his father to listen to him "Deal" he said half heartily.

"Good" said Stoick. He grabs his helmet and duffel bag and heads for the door "Train hard, I'll be back. Probably" Stoick heads out the door, leaving in search for the dragons nest.

"And I'll be here. Maybe" says Hiccup.

When the door closes, Hiccup turns around and goes to his room. He drops the axe next to his wooden bed, takes off his boots, lays down on the bed and covered himself with a sheet, as he looked up at the ceiling he lets everything that happened today sink in. He finally caught a dragon but not just any dragon a Night Fury, with his invention that always seem to fail, he tells his father but doesn't believe him, when he goes and finds the dragon that was all tangle up, it was the perfect chance to kill it but he couldn't. Why? Why couldn't he kill the dragon? And now he has Dragon training tomorrow, which is something he doesn't want. He couldn't kill the first dragon he caught, how can he do it now.

"This will not end well" said Hiccup as he closes his eyes and goes to sleep.

Gothi was adding more firewood to the fire pit warming herself up, she hears the door open and sees Merida coming in "Aam back" she says as she pulls down her hood, Gothi points with her staff to the table telling her that the food was ready "Aam nae hungry Amma, Aam going to sleep, tomorrow I have Dragon trainin' " Gothi points her staff at Merida but not at her, at her bow, Merida notices and knew what she meant "Ah know, bow an' arrows arenae a suitable Viking weapon. I'll use the sword that ye had Gobber make me, it's in mah room. Goodnight" she walks up the stairs to her room.

She puts her bow and quiver down next to her bed, takes off her hood, boots, and lays at her wooden bed and looks at the ceiling drifting to her thoughts. Merida could not believe what she saw today, wondering if maybe she was hallucinating or it was real. She saw a Night Fury, an actual Night Fury, the rarest dragon that was impossible to see. She think that Hiccup was telling the truth when he said he shot it down with one of his invention, that usually don't work, but what really surprise her more was that Hiccup didn't kill it but instead set the dragon free. Merida was more surprise that the dragon didn't kill him, she was scared that the dragon was going to burn Hiccup alive when it had him pin to the large rock, but was shock to see that just like Hiccup, the Night Fury let him go. She was still relief that Hiccup was not harm but she was really confuse, pondering the same question. Why didn't Hiccup killed it? The dragon was all tide up and vulnerable, the perfect chance to kill it but he didn't do it, instead he set the dragon free. That could have been his one and only chance to prove himself to his father, to everyone in the village that he could be the Viking that he always wanted to be and show everyone that he wasn't useless 'Didne ye want that?' though Merida.

Merida grabs her sheet, cover herself, and move's to a comfortable position "Why didne ye kill it?" whispered Merida closing her eyes and drifts to sleep.

"Welcome to dragon training!"

Announced Gobber as he raises the massive Iron Gate so that the Vikings teens can enter the stone arena. "No turning back" said Astrid, as she and the teens entered they took in the arena, seeing the walls scorched and the chain ceiling above them, It was a grim yet awe-inspiring place.

"Can't wait to get dragon blood on this" said Iona holding a mace that her father gave her before he left for the search of the nest, she looks at Merida and saw that she was holding a sword and had her bow with her too "Hey red! You think you're up for it?" Iona said with a bit of cockiness in her voice.

Merida glares at her and shows her sword "Call me red again an' it willnae be dragon blood oan thes sword".

Iona smirks at her "Are you challenging me?"

"Depends… If yoo're up for it?" she replies darkly.

They glare at each other and then look away.

"I hope I get some serious burns" said Tuffnut.

"I'm hoping for some mauling, like on my shoulder or lower back" said Ruffnut.

"Yeah, its only fun if you get a scar out of it" said Astrid with a smirk.

"Yeah, no kidding, right?"

The Viking teens knew that voice and wondered if it really belong to the same person, they turn around and saw that it really was Hiccup behind them holding an axe.

"Pain, Love it" he says sarcastically.

Merida was surprise to see Hiccup here with them at Dragon Training, after what happen yesterday she never expected him to train with them. The other Viking teens groan wondering why he's even here in the first place.

"Oh great, who let him in?" asked Tuffnut.

"Does the Chief know he's here?" Iona asks.

"Yes he does! So let's get started! The recruit who does best will win the honor of killing his first dragon in front of the entire village" said Gobber a bit dramatic.

"Hiccup already killed a Night Fury, so does that disqualify him or...?" said Snotlout with a grin, the recruits laugh except for Iona who didn't really find it funny and Merida rolls her eyes and walks away from them.

"Can I transfer to the class with the cool Vikings?" asked Tuffnut.

Gobber throws a supportive arm around Hiccup and ushers him along "Don't worry. You're small and you're weak, that'll make you less of a target. They'll see you as sick or insane and go after the more Viking-like teens instead".

"Gee, thanks" says Hiccup sarcastically.

Gobber sticks him in line with the others, next to Merida, Hiccup glance at her but she avoided his glance, he stops looking at her and looks back at Gobber who walks toward five massive doors that were shaking and could hear the terrible roars from the dragons that are in there wanting to get out "Behind these doors are just a few of the many species you will learn to fight".

"The Deadly Nadder" said Gobber.

"Speed 8. Armor 16" said Fishlegs.

"The Hideous Zippleback".

"Plus 11 stealth. Times 2".

"The Monstrous Nightmare".

"Firepower 15".

"The Terrible Terror".

"Attack 8. Venom 12".

"CAN YOU STOP THAT?!" yelled Gobber "And...The Gronckle" he ended as he put his hand on the lever getting ready to release the dragon.

"Jaw strength 8" whispered Fishlegs.

Snotlout notices that Gobber was about to pull the lever and started to panic "Whoa, wait! Aren't you gonna teach us first?!" he asked.

Gobber gave all of them a smirk "I believe in learning on the job" he pulls the lever and the massive door was slammed open by a Gronckle, a dragon with tremendous weight, small wings, has a huge jaw, a rather blunt nose and fairly stubby toe claws. The dragon's wings beat at a fast speed similar to that of hummingbird, it was charging into the ring like an irritated rhino, making the recruits scramble in every direction.

"Today is about survival, if you get blasted, you're dead! Quick, what's the first thing you're going to need?!" asked Gobber.

"A doctor?!" suggested Hiccup 'Which I'm going to need when this is over'

"Plus 5 speed?" yelled Fishlegs.

"A shield!" answered Astrid.

"Shields! Go!" yelled Gobber.

The recruits quickly scramble for the shields that were scattered all over the arena "Your most important piece of equipment is your shield, if you must make a choice between a sword and a shield, take the shield!" Gobber advise them, he looks at Hiccup struggling to lift his shield, Gobber sighs then goes to him, helps him and sends him where the action took.

Ruff and Tuff see a shield that was the only one that had a skull painted on it, which they both wanted, both went straight for and started playing tug a war with each other.

"Get your hands off my shield!" demand Tuffnut.

"There are like a million shields!" argued Ruffnut.

"Take that one, it has a flower on it, girls like flowers" said Tuffnut.

Ruffnut had a hold of the shield then bash her twin brother in the head "Ooops, now this one has blood on it"

They kept tugging at the shield not paying attention to the Gronckle that fires a shot at them. The shield is blasted out of both their hands, sending Tuff and Ruff to spin like tops and go down.

"Tuffnut, Ruffnut, you're out!" declared Gobber.

"What?" said the twins, a bit confused to what happen.

"Those shields are good for another thing, noise, make lots of it to throw off a dragon's aim!" stated Gobber.

With their weapons Astrid, Snotloud, Iona, Fishlegs, Merida, and Hiccup began hammering on their shields. The Gronckle shakes its head at the clatter sound, making it to see the Viking teens all blurry, they saw that it was working and they all scrambled away from the dragon.

"All dragons have a limited number of shots, how many does a Gronckle have?" Gobber asks the recruits.

"Five!" guessed Snotlout

"Eight!" said Iona.

"No, six!" exclaimed Fishlegs.

"Correct, six, that's one for each of you!" said Gobber.

"I really don't-" Fishlegs shield was blasted away from his hand and he started running and screaming.

"Fishlegs, out!" declared Gobber.

Gobber spots Hiccup hiding from behind a wood wall not participating in the least "Hiccup, get in there!" he yells.

The Gronckle fly's towards Iona and Merida, both of them dodged the dragon, Merida let go of the shield and her sword and uses her bow and arrow, she aimed it at the dragon and let go of the arrow but it only made a small scratch at the Gronckle skin.

"Watch and learn red!" said Iona charging at the Gronckle with her mace but the Gronckle made a spin and hit her shield with his tail sending her flying pass Merida and to the wall with a loud thud.

"Great Thor that hurt" grunted Iona trying to get up.

Merida turns her head to look at the girl with a face that say 'she's not impress' "What exactly am Ah supposed tae be learnin'?"

"Like you did any better red!" yelled Iona glaring at her.

"Stop callin' me red!" shouted Merida.

They were so busy yelling each other that the Gronckle fired at Merida, she quickly used her shield, which broke into pieces and send her flying and crashing to Iona who receive another crash to the wall.

"Merida! You're out!" declared Gobber.

Astrid was bouncing on her heels, ready to dodge a blast from the dragon, Snotlout appears next to her trying to hit on her "So anyway I'm moving into my parents' basement, you should come by sometime to work out, you look like you work out-"

While Snotlout kept talking, Astrid cartwheels out of the way, allowing a shot to shoot past her and hit Snotlout's shield, making him fall on his back.

"Snotlout! You're done!" declared Gobber.

Astrid stops beside Hiccup, who stirs awkwardly and tries to look cool.

"So, I guess it's just you and me huh?" said Hiccup.

"No, just you!" replied Astrid as she rolls away in time as the Gronckle blasted another shot that hit Hiccup's shield knocking it clear off his arm leaving him exposed.

"One shot left!" announce Gobber.

Hiccup panics and chases after his shield as it rolls across the ring. The sudden movement sends the Gronckle chasing after him, leaving Astrid in the clear.

"Hiccup!" yelled Gobber starting to get worried.

Merida was still in pain but saw Hiccup being chase by the Gronckle and started to worried as well. Hiccup's shield was rolling to another direction when he suddenly turns he sees the Gronckle was chasing him, he was pin against the wall. It opens its mouth getting ready to fire at him. Hiccup was scared and had the sense of Deja-vu, this is exactly like how the Night Fury did to him, but it didn't look like the Gronckle was going to let him free, he closes his eyes getting ready for his life to end, again. But was jump from surprise that the shot didn't hit him but above his head barely missing him.

He sees that he was saved by Gobber he used his hook hand to stuck it at the Gronckle's mouth so that the shot wouldn't hit him "And that's six! Go back to bed, ya overgrown sausage!" barked Gobber as he wrestles the Gronckle back into his pen and locks the door "You'll get another chance, don't you worry" the recruits gather together feeling pain from their first training, except for Astrid who was only out of breath "That's it for today's training, and remember, a dragon will always…" he looks at Hiccup, hoists him to his feet and gives him a stern look "…always go for the kill".

Gobber and the teens walk to the exit leaving Hiccup behind; Hiccup looks overhead to see the steaming pit of fire in the solid stone wall that the Gronckle made, repeating what Gobber just said. "Always?" wondered Hiccup. He didn't notice that Merida was still there a few feet behind him, and she wondered the same thing 'Always?' she turns and walks away leaving him be.

Hiccup was at the forest at the same spot he last saw the Night Fury. He was really lucky to survive the first day at Dragon training, especially Gobber saving him in the last minute. He grabs the bola that was still attach to the rope and looks at it closely "So why didn't you?" Hiccup asked, ever since he was little, well littler, his father always told him that dragons are mindless savage beast, that if you come upon one of them they will kill you at any chance they get, and yet the Night Fury didn't. He drops the bola and presses on in the direction the Night Fury flew off. As he keep walking he sees a rocky crevice that look like an entrance, when he enters he sees an isolated cove complete with a pristine spring pool. He looks around but didn't spot the Night Fury.

"Well this was stupid" grumble Hiccup.

He looks down and notices a few black scales on the ground, he crouches and picks it up, studying it. Suddenly a black blur appears making Hiccup jump back and sees that it was the Night Fury. The dragon was struggling to climb out of the walls of the cove, the Night Fury falls and flaps his wings so that he could land but instead the he crash-landed. Hiccup was surprise but smiles with excitement to see the dragon again, he slips down to get a closer look on the Night Fury. He landed on a rock platform and watched as the dragon was trying to fly out of the cove but kept crashing to the ground exhausted and frustrated. Hiccup was amazed that he was actually seeing the Night Fury again with no thoughts of killing it, he was just satisfied by just looking at it. The Night Fury tries again to fly out but failed as he crashes to the ground again. Hiccup realizes that he brought his leather book and charcoal stick with him, he quickly got them out of his fur vest, opened the book and got ready to draw the dragon. As he kept seeing the dragon trying to fly away but fall again, he sketches the dragon quickly the best he could "Why don't you just… fly away?" he wondered out loud.

The Night Fury fires a blast at the ground out of frustration for not being able to fly out, Hiccup then notice something, one of the dragon's tail fin is missing, he looks at his sketch, rubs it off and the sketch dragon is left with one fin. He sees the dragon trying again to fly off but has another crash landing. The Night Fury sees a fish flip out from the water, he got back to his feet and slowly crawls to the water's edge. He spots fishes in the shallow water and snaps at them but comes up empty. Hiccup actually feels sorry for the dragon he couldn't fly or eat, it must be hard for the poor thing. He accidentally drops the charcoal stick. It rolls off of the rock making a sound that caught the Night Fury's attention. It raises his head and spots Hiccup, the dragon recognizes him, and it was the same small Viking that tried to kill him but set him free instead, just like he did for him. Both dragon and boy stare at each other with no flinching, Hiccup tilted his head and the dragon did the same, both of them merely stared at each other not caring if it was the only thing to do.

It was night time and a storm was brewing outside. Gobber and the teens were at the Great Hall seated at a table, eating dinner by the glow of the fire pit, while they were eating they were discussion what each of them did wrong on the ring. On one side of the table Ruffnut was next to Tuffnut, Tuffnut was next to Astrid, and on the other side Snotlout was next to Fishlegs, and Fishlegs was next to Iona.

"Now where did Snotlout go wrong?" asked Gobber.

"Are you kidding? I was fine!" said Snotlout.

"Yeah right, I did better than you" said Iona with her arms cross.

"Says the girl who was tail slammed straecht towards the wall" stated Merida who was sitting at another table next to the recruits. Merida never really got along with the other teens and the teens never got along with her either, so she always avoided them and they always avoided her.

"At least I didn't get shot" smirked Iona.

"Says the girl who got slammed tae the wall twice" Merida declared.

"Well somebody crashed me" protested Iona getting pissed off by the red haired girl.

"Really? Because Ah crash somethin' that was rough, cold, and hard. Oh wait that was ye" stated Merida coldly.

Both girls glare at each other, but then Gobber smacked both girls on the head so they don't start a fight "Save it for another time" he says to them "Alright, where did Astrid go wrong in the ring today?"

"I mistimed my summersault dive, it was sloppy, it threw off my reverse tumble" Astrid reported.

"Yeah, we noticed" said Ruffnut sarcastically.

"No, no, you were great" said Snotlout "That was so 'Astrid' "

"She's right, you have to be tough on yourselves" said Gobber.

They heard a door open and all eyes turn to Hiccup, entering the hall sheepishly soaking wet.

Gobber glares at him. "Where did Hiccup go wrong?"

Hiccup grabs the plate of chicken leg, he tries to sit with them but Snotlout wouldn't let him.

"He showed up" joke Ruffnut.

"He didn't get eaten" chuckled Tuffnut.

Hiccup rolls his eyes and sees Merida sitting at an empty table next to the group alone. He sits in front of Merida, wondering if she didn't mind, Merida stayed quiet and that was good enough for him.

"He's never where he should be" says Astrid glaring at him.

"Thank you, Astrid" says Gobber as he hits the twins in the head, then he lays a giant book on the table that had a dragon on the cover "The dragon manual, you need to live and breathe this stuff. Everything we know about every dragon we know of". Thunder was heard that shaked the hall and the rain pours down hard on the roof "No attacks tonight, study up" says Gobber leaving the teens.

"Wait, you mean read?" Tuffnut ask with a 'are you kidding' look.

"While we're still alive?" moan Ruffnut.

"Why read words when you can just kill the stuff the words tell you stuff about?" inquired Snotlout.

"So you're saying you can't read?" asked Iona crossing her arms, enjoying Snoutlout embarrassed face.

"I can read!" grunted Snotlout.

"If you say so" said Iona, then she looks at Merida "Why don't you read it, red?"

Merida wishes that if looks could kill, the bossy girl would be dead by now "Ah think you need it more than me" she said returning to her food.

"Oh! I've read it like seven times" Fishlegs chimed and started explaining "There's this water dragon that sprays boiling water at your face, and there's this other one that buries itself for like a week-"

"Yeah, that sounds great" said Tuffnut interrupting Fishlegs "There was a chance I was going to read that..." he said with sarcasm.

"But now..." finished Ruffnut with a boring look on her face.

"Well, knowing that nobody is going to read the book. I'm leaving" said Iona leaving the group first.

Snotlout gets up to leave as well "You guys read, I'll go kill stuff".

The twins follow to get up but Tuffnut grabs his sister's head and hits her with the table "HEY!" she yells, and he gives her a look, that he didn't do anything "What?"

Fishlegs follows in tow still talking "Oh and there's this other one that has these spines that look like trees..."

Hiccup gets up and goes to the table for the dragon manual and sees Astrid, he tries again to act cool "So I guess we'll share-"

"Read it" Astrid replied as she pushes the book towards him and leaves.

"All mine then, wow, so okay. I'll see you-" he hears the door slam indicating that she left "…Tomorrow" he sigh.

He goes back to the table to eat his chicken then to looks at Merida drinking from her cup, they simply sat there eating, not saying a word to each other. Hiccup scratches his head and doesn't know whether to talk to her or not 'She'll just ignore me like the other's' he thought

"So… What dae ye think?"

Hiccup looks at Merida with a surprise look on his face wondering if she was really talking to him "I umm-What?" he asked with confusion.

"What did ye think of Dragon Trainin' today?" Merida asked not looking at him.

Hiccup was nervous to answer, this could be the first time Merida talks to him. He can't remember the last time that he and Merida talked to each other, maybe when they were kids but that was years ago. He quickly tried to answer "I-I umm… I-I think it was good, great I guess" he said nervously.

"Whaur dae ye think Ah went wrong in the ring?" she asks still not making eye contact with him.

Hiccup scratches his head, trying to find the right answer "Umm I guess, shooting the arrow at the Gronckle, their skin don't get much damage with just an arrow, a-and you shouldn't let Iona get to you, or else you won't focus on the battle" replied Hiccup.

"Ah see" she says.

He sighs in relief and feels a bit happy that someone was talking to him instead of ignoring him "Uh… Where did I go wrong in the ring?" he asks, when he looks at her, she had an annoyed look on her face, Hiccup started to panic 'D-Did I say something wrong?'

Merida stood up, and it cause Hiccup to flinch "If ye had focus oan the Gronckle insteid of Astrid, ye could had dodge that shot an' pass the first lesson!" answered Merida her tone sounding angry "See ye tomorrow" she walks away from him and headed towards the door. She opening it and slammed it closed.

Hiccup stood there not understanding what just happened, but knew that he was at fault. He sighs and goes back to eating. Unknown to him, Merida was still at the door, feeling a bit guilty for how she treated him 'Idiot, ye waur finally havin' a conversation with heem, and ye had tae ruin it' she sighs puts on her fur hood and starts running towards home.

It was really late, the Great Hall was empty with Hiccup being the only one there, he had a candle with him and another one at the table, to shed some light so that he could read the Dragon Manual. He opened the book and started to read it, ignoring the sound of thunder that was making outside.

"Dragon classifications. Strike class. Fear class. Mystery class" Hiccup turns the page to see the first dragon "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".

Hiccup turns to the next page and see's the next dragon "Timberjack, this gigantic creature has razor sharp wings that can slice through full grown trees... Extremely dangerous. Kill on sight".

He turns another page "Scauldron, sprays scalding water at its victim, extremely dangerous".

Hiccup was startled when a strong thunder was made, he took a deep breath and press on reading the book "Changewing, even newly hatched dragons can spray acid. Kill on sight".

He kept pouring through page after page of the strangest and frightening dragons, Hiccup got really scared and felt queasy in his stomach of the many dragons that could easily kill him in a second "Burns its victims. Buries its victims. Chokes its victims. Turns its victim's inside-out. Extremely dangerous. Extremely dangerous. Kill on sight. Kill on sight. Kill on sight..." Each page that he read about the many different types of dragon kept saying the same thing, and the pictures of how it would look like if you get killed by them wasn't helping Hiccup's stomach at all.

Hiccup lands upon a page that was completely blank when he looks up the tittle he sees that it was The Night Fury page. But there was nothing there, it was completely blank not even a picture of the dragon, which is understandable since no one has ever seen it, there was a few sentences at the bottom of the page that seem to be the only thing it has to say about the dragon. "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" Hiccup pulls out his sketchbook from his vest and opens it to his sketch of the Night Fury. He stare at the drawing , letting what he read about the dragon sink in his mind, he did engage it but set it free he thought he was good as dead when the Night Fury had him pin, but it didn't, the dragon let him go. Hiccup still had many questions about the Night Fury and this book didn't have much of the answers. "Maybe Gobber might know something" mumbled Hiccup as he closed the book, puts his sketchbook back in his fur vest and leaves the Great Hall.

Far away from Berk, three Viking ships were at sea letting the wind take them to their destination. Stoick was on a boat with a painted dragon with a sword run through it was sailing about as the other two boats were behind it.

Stoick was looking at the map, his eyes on a picture of dragons in a swirling mist indicating where the nest should be "I can almost smell them" said Stoick as he punch the map. "They're close" he looks up from the map and sees the thick fog to. "Steady" he ordered. The fog was towering from sky to sea like a bruised, daunting curtain, beyond which nothing is visible. The three ships drifted alongside the fog, looking for an opening. Stoick stare at the fog and then came to a decision. "Take us in" he ordered. The helmsman steers Stoick's ship into the fog. The men and women drew their weapons, preparing for the worst to come "Hard to port..." yelled a Viking.

"For Helheim's gate" said Stoick ready to face whatever comes at him. All three ships entered and disappears into the thick fog, all was quiet until a flash and sound of a dragon was heard, thus commencing the battle. If anyone was outside the fog they would had heard the sound of battle and a silhouette of a dragon.

"I would like to Thank Cjupsher for helping me with the Dragon training scene and I would like to Thank Miyuki for helping me edit the story" said Ayama "And please leave a REVIEW, and if any of you have questions I'll be happy to answer them but only 8 people that's the limit"

SEE YOU SOON!
