"Well if you think about it makes since don't it. You could be my promise of a family. And where not kin so it could be very possible she promised you to be my mate" She says almost exited.
"Umm, I guess?"I answer looking away not wanting to dwell on the subject much longer.
She seems to pick this up as she stops. She looks down at her paws for a while.
" Do you remember anything about your hatchling hood?"
I glance up. " No" I answer bluntly.
"Oh." She's quiet for a while. " I remember my family. I don't remember how I got separated from them but I had two brothers. Darklight and Fang. I remember playing with them when we where little."
" That's nice"
" Er do you want to go for a fly maybe?" She asks after an awkward silence.
I brighten at the idea before my ears fall in disappointment. I bring my tail around to show her the leather fin. I sigh quietly.
" Oh, I'm sorry."
" It's fine. Not like I can actually remember flying without help." I say trying to joke but just ending up feeling guilty like i'm trying to make her care. Which i'm not, Because it doesn't really mater... I think.
" We can just walk then," She says not waiting for me to join her.
I catch up and match her pace as we slowly walk around the pond.
" Do you know what a Pure is?" Nightholly asks.
I shake my head. " No, but earlier just after I found you a strange dragon used the term. Almost like he meant me."
" Interesting"
I've never been more confused by a female. Nightholly was her own kind of personality I had never met before. Fiery, mischievous, and soft. All at the same time. Except when the fire would ignite in her icy eyes. Her attitude would change to that of a battle ready viper.
" No. Grab the stick like this. Aund ten oh an walk" I say between the branch in my mouth as I show her how to draw in the dirt. My skills have improved much, I no longer make just lines and squiggles but can actually draw large images. Well I mean, I guess they're Ok. Not Hiccup good. Or in general as good as an humans.
" And human's do this for fun?" Nightholly says scowling at the stick she had managed to hold in her paw as she dragged it across the dirt.
" Yes, and to learn. Hiccup is a very good drawer. Much better than me." I say glancing at my crude drawing of a tree.
" I see."
" They have a thumb. It's like a dew claw without the claw, and it is next to their other fingers instead of up by their wrist. I'm pretty sure that's what makes humans so handy with tools." I say flexing the dangerous fighting flaw on my wrist.
" So fingers are toes. Except longer and without claws?"
" And they have an extra joint near the tip. That why they can grab and make small delicate motions with tools. It's really cool to watch. You should come see sometime. I think you would like Hiccup."
" I don't know. I've never had a...Good experience with a human before. And I doubt it would be any different this time."
" Not all humans are bad. You just have to find the right one."
" So they can rip off part of my necessary limbs needed for flying so I'll never be able to leave?"She snaps.
I stop a growl from coming from my throat. " Hiccup didn't mean to do that! He just wanted to be accepted by the other humans. And still he sacrificed his life to help me. And he has made a device that is capable of letting me fly on my own."
" Then why don't you use it? Why don't you just fly away and leave this place behind?"
" Because I can't leave behind the only life I know! I have nowhere to go! I don't have anyone but Hiccup! I don't remember anything!" I yell.
She falls quiet her challenging glamor melting away. " I'm sorry I-"
" Sure you are" I hiss before turning away.
I have more important things to do.
Make sure the twins haven't burned down the village, and other important Alpha business. Today consisting of nothing.
This female is driving me crazy. How on earth Hookedclaw manages with his mate baffles me. That is if she is anything like this one.
My relationship with Hookedclaw is odd. He never talks to me or approaches me. He only gives me glances and stares as if he remembers something new every time he see's me. He hated my scales the first year I knew him. Attacking me, telling me How much of a lying traitor I was. How I had promised.
I still have no Idea what he was talking about. And when I ask all I get is a death glare in response.
" Toothelss."
" What" I snap glaring back at her.
" How are you going to get out if you can't fly?"
I look up at the tall rocky wall.
You are a stupid dragon. The voice states flatley.
Oh shut up.
