When the sun rose, I rose with it. After a quick flight to the distant sea stacks and back, I donned my changewing cloak and went to watch Hiccup in his first day of dragon training. I stood there and watched as a bunch of vicious teenagers walked in discussing what injuries they wanted. Then Hiccup came in.
"Yeah, no kidding. Pain. Love it." He said with about as much enthusiasm as a rock.
The blacksmith, Gobber, gave Hiccup a quick pep talk before releasing a Gronckle into the arena. The twins were arguing over a shield as Hiccup tried to fit in. the Gronckle took out the twins, then Fishlegs. I knew that Gronckles had a weakness for obsidian, but whenever they ate it, they got really sleepy, so I always carried a few small stones. I guess Berkians didn't know that. Hiccup's shield was shot off his arm, and he ran after it, as the Gronckle closed in for the kill.
But just as my muscularly challenged friend was about to get blown to Valhalla, Gobber moved the Gronckle, and Hiccup was left sitting there, as the dragon was wrestled back into its cage. The blacksmith went up to Hiccup and told him
"A dragon will always, always go for the kill"
We were in the woods, heading over to check on the Night Fury, when we came across the bola, and Hiccup quoted the two limbed blacksmith before adding
"So why didn't you?"
We walked in silence through the forest in the direction of the dragon, before we came to a peaceful cove. On the ground there was a sprinkling of Night Fury scales, and Hiccup bent down to investigate.
"Well this was stupid."
"You never know-" I was cut off by a large, black shape trying to climb out of the cove. The Night Fury. It groaned and flew down to the cove floor. Hiccup followed a path down, with me close behind. In perfect synchrony we pulled out our notebooks and began to draw.
"Why don't you just fly away?"
We both stared at the dragon, watching try to fly out, or catch a fish, till Hiccup dropped his pencil. Then the Night Fury looked up at us, and we stared back. Right into the eyes of the offspring of lighting and death itself.
The next day, Hiccup came to my cave, wanting to know more about the Night Fury. Before he could say anything I told him,
"I'm going to teach you how to train your dragon."
He looked at me, "What?"
"I'm going to teach you how to train, then ride, the night fury. You start with fish. You feed him, to help gain his trust, then we can get you on his back!" and with that, I gave him a fish and pushed him in the direction of the cove. We walked there as I explained my plan.
"Give him the fish, get him to trust you, and then just spend time with him. We'll work on flying later. I'll be watching from the cove, but I won't e in there, so you can work on your bond."
Hiccup walked down there with a fish and a shield, the latter of which got stuck on the rocks. He picked up the fish, and then looked around for the dragon, which was sneaking up behind him. Hiccup offered the fish, but the dragon wouldn't accept it till he threw his knife in the lake. Then the dragon moved forward.
"Huh, toothless. I could've sworn you had-" Hiccup was interrupted by the Night Fury's teeth unretracting, and biting up the fish in just a few seconds. Then the dragon began sniffing around Hiccup, looking for more fish, until Hiccup had his back up against a rock. The dragon made a funny noise, one which I, unfortunately, regonized. A second later the dragon had regurgitated a fish, and making noises for Hiccup to eat it. Which he did. I turned to Stormcaster.
"The things we do for our dragons." Meanwhile, in the cove Hiccup was struggling to swallow the fish, and was making chocking noises. "Ugh" then Hiccup smiled and the most magical thing happened.
The dragon smiled back. And I realized Hiccup and his dragon would always be best friends.
"and I was drawing him, and then he got a tree, and started drawing a bunch of lines and when he finished, if I stepped on a line he'd growl at me so I had to step over all the lines without messing up, and when I did, I was right next to him, and I reached out my hand, and he pressed his nose into it, and his nose was so warm and-"
"Breathe, Hiccup" I reminded my auburn haired friend.
"It was amazing. I want to fly on him." He said all in a rush
"Here's some sketches of Storm's tail" I told him, handing them over. "Use these to make it. You have to make dinner with your 'friends'. I'll see you tomorrow?"
I didn't see Hiccup till tomorrow evening. He told me about what had happened that day, this time actually breathing.
"And then the Zippleback shrieked and backed up. Man, dragons really hate eels."
"I know. I caught one, and storm almost blew up the boat"
"Wonder why they don't like them?"
"Maybe it makes them sick."
Hiccup then looked really awkward. "Hey, quick question- do you have a crush on me."
I started. "No. why?"
"I was just wondering, because, well, I think of you as my sister, so-"
I smiled "Hiccup, you are my brother-in-arms."
"What?"
"You are my brother, just not by blood. Brother-in-arms means I would trust you with my life."
We sat there awkwardly for a second.
"so." I said. "What about we make a saddle for you and toothless. I have some leather."
We had to wrestle it onto the dragon. Hiccup then tried flying toothless while holding onto a rope. I told him it wouldn't work. He didn't listen. He did, however, make a safety harness, which, in retrospect, was probably a good idea. He then tried tying the rope to his ankle. I told him that wouldn't work. Again. He didn't listen. Again. We ended up crashing in a field of dragon nip, which he used on the Gronckle. He learned how to scratch a dragon's weak spot and make them pass out. He used that one on a Nadder. Over the course of a few days, we flew our dragons, and learned more than ever.
Hiccup used his newfound 'powers' to crush dragon training. Eels, dragon nip, weak spots. Apparently,
Astrid almost killed him in the woods when she was throwing her axe. And we finished the tail system, but after that, I went to a market in the Peaceable isles, and Hiccup ended up getting stuck on his dragon, and had to sneak him into the village. The days passed by in a blur. Then Stoick and the remainder of the raiding party came back.
That day, Hiccup and I were on our dragons, toothless still getting used to his harness system. Hiccup was studying his 'cheat sheet'
"Get over it, Hiccup, and wing it!" I yelled
We spun in a circle, and then flew past the mountains, diving down to the sea weaving in and among the sea stacks, although Hiccup crashed twice. Then we started climbing, getting higher and higher, till Hiccup lost his cheat sheet, and went plummeting down to earth. I tried to get to them, but they were out of control, yet Hiccup still managed to get on his back. But they were still plunging towards the sea stacks in the fog.
"WING IT, HICCUP!" I yelled, and hoped they didn't die. We dove and weaved, and it was amazing. The feel of pure freedom, and victory as we made our way through
We ended up on a small island, about ten minutes away. We got a bunch of fish for the dragons, and Hiccup had one to. I just had a small berry pie I made the day before. We were enjoying ourselves when a flock of Terror came by, and tried to steal our fish. The dragons didn't like that.
Toothless set fire to the inside of one of them
"Not so fireproof on the inside, are ya?" Hiccup quipped. I laughed softly, and Hiccup threw the Terror a fish. He sat by us and purred. Hiccup remarked
''Everything we know about you guys is wrong."
A/N: ok wow. This one is long. No, they will not all be this long. To all my lovely readers out there. Well, on with the (crazy) show, I guess
