HappyPup1: Thank thor I wasn't driving anyone nuts, and thank you so much you made my day! And yes I do admit it, lol it's like a hyper adrenaline rush. And I will continue updating, but with me needing to juggle school, writing book reviews, blogging, reading, writing I may take a little longer. And sure I'll check out your stories, it would be my pleasure.
dracologistmaster: Thank you! Yep can't wait to write that part. More will be up soon, dragon training shall continue in either the next chapter or chapter 12.
Hiccup slumped on to the bed, his eyes closed immediately. He had been working day and night which had not been any good for his sleep cycle.
The next morning the first thing he did the second he woke up was to start drawing his instruction manual (cheat sheet) After intense research; aka many occasions of falling from the sky, he had discovered that the tail needed to be able to form many different positions in order to mimic the movements of the natural dragon fin.
Now, finally after all those nights in the forge he had something that might actually work. However first he needed to continue working on the saddle, the fin and the cheat sheet were finished but the saddle and the stirrup thing that controlled the tail still needed prepping.
When the son of the chief immerged from his house carrying a weird metal contraption under his arm, everyone instantly started to mummer. This only added to their curiosity, in fact for the last few days the boy was rarely seen, and if he was it was normally on a path between the forge, his house, or the surrounding woods. What was even stranger was that he hadn't caused a catastrophe ever since he'd come back. Well, unless you counted the incident in the arena, but he'd been the last one standing, you could hardly consider that a mess up. Sure he probably could have not destroyed the arena roof, but then again a win was a win no matter up, according to the Vikings.
Hiccup entered the forge, not even hesitating on the threshold, he was confident that Gobber would be in the arena. Class had been suspended for two days thanks to his antics. This had probably been his most successful accident ever, considering that most of the others had not benefit him in anyway, cut that none of them did. He needed to finish the fin today, because lesson two would be tomorrow, so unless he somehow managed to destroy part of the killing arena again he would have a lot less time on his hands.
Hiccup entered the cove bearing the finished saddle and tail fin. (how he carried both I will never know, because that saddle was huge. Uh... no... Toothless. I am not calling you fat…) He was going to place the saddle on Toothless's back but, the dragon had other plans. Apparently Toothless though Hiccup needed some exercise, long story short Hiccup was forced to play a game called catch the giant black dragon so you can put a saddle on it.
Oh yes he did end up getting the saddle on to that dragon, but how did he catch the nightfury? Now that's a fun tale.
Hiccup chased Toothless round and round the cove, making absolutely no leeway, when out of some confusion he managed to end up right in front of the dragon. Toothless automatically swiveled around and ran in the opposite direction.
Hiccup may not be too impressive in the strength department, but he was very smart, so he could think up good plans. (Most of the time, and normally on topics that do not include dragons) The boy leaped and managed to get a grip on the dragon's back, then he flattened himself against the dragon and held on for dear life. His ride was bumpy; Toothless's jolting up and down was starting to make him feel seasick. Sighing he decided he would have to try something he'd never tried before, he was going to tickle a dragon. Ridiculous, I know, but stuck there on that dragon he couldn't really do much else.
Hiccup started with the back of Toothless's neck, it was the easiest place to reach, and he wasn't about to risk his life until he knew the plan would work. The nightfury purred and stretched his neck out, but made no move to stop. The boy groaned the time was ticking away, he needed to get the saddle on today. Gritting his teeth he slowly reached out for the dragon's neck as the forest race by around him. Dragon scales were slippery and if he were to fall... (of course Hiccup should have known that Toothless wouldn't really let that happen, but you try thinking reasonably as you are raced around on the back of a very slippery dragon.)
Finally, he was in tickling range of Toothless's neck, very carefully he started to tickle the dragon. However because Toothless was moving so fast it felt more like scratching, but that wasn't necessarily bad. The off spring of lighting and death itself, collapsed into a heap of purrs and smiles. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III never did find out if dragons were ticklish that day, but he had gained a very useful piece of information. Always scratch a dragon underneath it's chin, if for example it's trying to kill you or runaway with you on it's back.
I'm so sorry I keep on dragging on the whole working on the fin thing, but I feel if I make it too fast it'll feel too easy. If you have any suggestions or ideas feel free to leave them in reviews, I might just consider using them. Bye till the next update!
