Wow, what a beutiful morning. No clouds in sight. Everyone is still asleep except some of the dragons, and our new friend. "How are you doing buddy?" He smiles and wags his rear end and tail. "That's good, but take it easy. Your wing will take s couple of days to heal. Three at the most considering it was only a small break, but looks like most of your wounds are healed. I'll have to thank Hiccup for the ointment". I see that Stormfly is awake. "Morning Stormfly. Hoe are you?" She hops around excitedly and glys around in the air. "You wanna go for a morning flight?" The blue Nadder nods and pushes me towards her back. I hear a laugh and turn around to see all the other dragons awake. The little Woolly Howl smile at all the dragons. "You guys wanna put on a show for our new friend?" All the dragons nid and take off, except Stormfly who waits for me to hop up. "Lets go".
I jump from dragon to dragon. Truly feeling free as I saw through the sky. "I really need to get myself a flight suit like Hiccup's". Shadow calls to me, as if agreeing. "You'd like to be able to fly with me?" She talks again. "I wish I could understand what you guys were saying". To answer all the dragons nod. "I'll find a way to understand you, someday". I jump onto Tiamat and understand what Claire meant. She is amazingly agile and has blazing speed. "Nice job Tiamat". She croons at the compliment and breaths out several small blasts that shatter and rain tiny pieces of crystals. "Amazing". I leap off of Tiamat and onto Shadow and loop the loop. We land and I relise that everyone is awake and was watching us. "Umm, morning?" Astrid and everybody else just stares at me. "That was extremely impressive". I blush slightly. "Thanks". "I did NOT think you would be able to do something like that" Jessie says. "Hey, who got you here in the firts place?" Jessie nods, knowing she's been defeated. "Anyway what do you want to do?" "How about some target practice?" "That's not a bad idea. Seeing as Astrid knows more about this than me I'll let her take over". She nods and mounts Stormfly. "Everyone line up. You guys can join in to" she says pointing to Jessie and Holly and the other dragons. Jessie hopsbon Arrow but Holly just looks around. "You can practice on Shadow" I say pointing to her. "Thanks" she says, giving Shadow a pat before mounting. "Ok so being Strike class dragons they have excellent accuracy but being in the Tracker class Nadders also have superb accuracy. Lets go". Astrid signals to the trees for everyone to start firing. Everyone hits their target and the trees either explode or burn to the ground. "Nice job everyone. Lets have a go from the sky". Everyone flys up. "Remember that the dragons will do most of the work but you also have to remember that shooting from the sky is different from how you would on the ground". Astrid signals again and once again everyone hits their target. Everyone smiles. "Nice job. Lets give the dragons a rest".
We're all sitting around and I see Shadow doing something strange. She's rolling around on her back. I walk over to her and she doesn't stop. "What's up girl? Is something wrong?" She looks up at me and jumps up. "What's up?" She points to her spines and to me. "Huh". She points to her spines again and I think I understand. "You want me to release your secondary spines?" She nods and bounces around like a kitten. "Ok, ok you need to stay still". She stands still. "Ok, here goes". I walk around to her neck and push the spot and massage. Her spines separate and she instantly pushes me towards her back. "You want to give them a test flight?" She nids and I jump on her back, not bothering with the saddle. We leap into the sky and do some tricks. We dive into the ocean and Shadow shoots and a bluish purple glow illuminates the water as we swim through it. We surface and land. Astrid looks at me. She must have been watching. "So you separated her spines?" "Actually she wanted me to". "But how could she have known if the only Night Fury she's ever been around is Toothless?" I gulp, preparing to tell Astrid. "Don't tell anyone what I'm about to say, not even Hiccup". "Ok" Astrid says, a bit confused. "Lets go somewhere else. I can't let anyone find this out".
We walk over to a cliff and sit down. "When I found her on an island she was stuck and injured. I heard something calling out and injured. I took her back with me and we came back later to make sure everything was ok. Turns out the call I heard was a Nigh Fury. I also found out that- that Toothless- Toothless was from that island". I finish, waiting for Astrid's reaction. "So you lied to us?" She says. "It was to keep everyone safe. You and the Night Furies included". Astrid starts to understand. "I get it. You didn't want to indanger anyone". "Yesh but there's something else. They told me that years ago one went missing and hasn't returned. What they discribed to me was a dragon that looked exactly like Toothless. Astrid, his parents want to see him one more time but I can't let Hiccup find out about this, not yet". I sigh, wondering what to do. Astrid thinks about it, trying to figure it out. "Then you take him". "What?" "You kniw how to use the saddle, and so do I because you taught me. You should take him to see his parents. I'll come". I sigh again. "I'm nit sure Toothless would agree to that, especially now that he's going to be a dad". Astrid thinks this over. "Wait until the kids are older and take them. I'm sure they'd live to meet his children". She does have a good point, and I know that his parents could hurt themselves if they tried to come looking for him. "I'll do it". Astrid smiles to tell me I've made the right decision. "Lets get back, it's getting late".
"Where have you two been," Mia asks, as she snuggles with Sybous. I look around and see that they started the fire. I spot Holly giving Arrow a rub on her neck. "Careful you dont hit the...". Too late. She pushes against her neck which signals for Arrow to shoot a single shot. "Sorry, didn't know about that". "It's fine. How are you going?" I ask the Woolly Howl. He croons and shows me his wing. "It's healed extremely quick, so much so you should be able to fly tomorrow". He croons happily. "And it looks like all your wounds are healed to. I really need to thank Hiccup for making me bring that ointment". I lay down next to him and drift off to sleep.
