Last everning, when I got home a little bit later than usually,my father was already home. He had checked my pulse, breathing, eyes and searched for blood on my body. Insane... Well... After that, he picked me up, carried me upstairs in my room, stripped me naked and covered me with a blanket. "I spoke with Gobber, Hiccup and he wants to give you a chance attending Dragontraining! Since you like to be outside, you'll get your chance!", he suddenly said emotionless.
"Why the sudden change of heart?" "I need every available viking for another search! I can't leave anyone behind to babysit you with your stupid handicap!", he said calm. "Thanks for the trust... dad...", I answered disappointed and turned my head to the left. "Listen Hiccup! You are my son and with that heir of Berk! And you are blind! Be grateful I didn't disowned you by now! Valka wouldn't want have that so stop messing things up and become a viking!" With that, he left my room. I heard the front door opening and closing again. Dad just left me, exhausted and sad from today's events ... rephrase ... from his harsh words!
I couldn't belive it... But let's jump to today! Dragontraining was in the late afternoon so I had the whole day before that free. After I got dressede (by myself), I headed downstairs (by myself), grabbed some fish and bread (by myself), put it in a basket (by myself) and headed with it into the woods, without being seen. I went to the cove where I immediately greeted by Toothless. "Hey buddy! How are you today?", I said cheerly. "Good brother! Looks like you brought breakfast!", Toothless answered happily. "Exactly! I thought I could bring you a daily 'thank you' for your gift! I thought we could eat together until my father forces me to Dragonkillingtraining this late afternoon... Don't worry bud. I hold on my promise and won't harm them in any way. I'll just pretend to be a complete loser!", I explained my plan.
"I have a better idea! How about you trick them!? Pretend as if you conquer them! Just say 'Night Fury gifted' in their presence and they wether act like you gained control over them or just don't attack you at all! Just be careful, brother!" "I will Toothless!" "Now let's eat before we start your training. Ready to see colors?", Toothless asked and picked up a cod, swallowing it whole. "No! but also yes! My life always has been made outta black, white and all these shades of grey between them. I'm really excited to see but also really afraid. So let's get started!", I said finishing my breakfast with Toothless. He smiled with his teeth retracted in his gums. I followed him. In the middle of the cove, Toothless and I stopped. "Are you ready, brother?" "...Yes!..." Toothless bowed and sat down behind me.
"Close your eyes. (I did as I was told) Now relax. when you're completly calm, try to hook your back muscles and only these. Think of me, because I gave you this gift and imagine my appearance. Now decay into complete body tension. If you've done everything right, you'll be given wings and other parts and abilities of the Night Fury as soon as you relax.", he explained. I smiled, did as he told me and suddenly, I felt a tearing sensation in my back, thighs and head. It did not hurt so much that I had to scream. It just pulled something and left a new weight, which I had never noticed before. "Did it... Did it worked?", I asked fearfully.
"Yes brother! It worked indeed. Now slowly open your eyes. I don't want you to become blind because of the light."
