Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON. However I did make this story.
So this story takes place in a HTTYD (How to Train Your Dragon) world, but as of this moment. There won't be any character appearances as of yet, but that is not to said they will appear later on. I would like to say thank you to you the audience for reading this and/or previous story so far. Here's the next part in the story.
"It's Paul, sir. I have someone that wishes to see you." The man said from outside the slightly opened door. There was a slight grumbling from inside the room before the man replied.
"I do not wish to be disturbed. Please tell them to come back later. I'm busy." The man inside replied with a little anger in his voice.
"I must insist he speak with you about our problem." Paul said to the man inside, there was a sigh before a reply.
"Very well, he may come in." The man said before Paul opened the door any further. Walking inside, there a well-dressed man seated in a desk. Various pages scattered on the desk as well as a small pile on the side. The man looked to be in his thirties if not forties. He was busy looking for some of the pages before addressing Paul and David's existence.
"Michael this is..." Paul said, but didn't know David's name.
"David, sir. I am a young dragon slayer from Michael. I understand you are having some trouble with some kind of creature. I have traveled..." David said before Michael stopped him with his hand raised.
"David... I do not believe this is a dragon we are dealing with. So I am sorry you made your trek out here. But we do not wish for your services here." Michael said being polite as possible.
"If I am sir, allow me to witness this 'thing' for myself. And if it doesn't appear to be a dragon, then I'll leave you be. No cost will be done to you whatsoever. But if it does, then all I ask is a free meal and a room." David suggested to Michael. He pondered it over before giving an answer.
"Very well, I will honor your agreement so long you do." Michael said offering a hand to confirm it with David. David was about to leave, but Michael stopped him.
"Best of luck on your hunt." Michael said and then David left him be. With there being still light out, David decided to wander the various shops. In search of unique and sometimes one of kind items. This was a traditional of his that he started with his first solo dragon kill. Do this allowed him to remember the battle he had with the dragon. However, there were a set of rules he follow when selecting something like this.
One: had to be something unique or, one of a kind or, maybe hard to find.
Two: had to be something small. To allow for easy carrying while traveling.
Three: had to relate to the dragon he was going to fight. This was based upon the tales people said or heard from. Doing this allows him to remember it in more detail.
So far, he's fought (five to ten) dragons while on his journey. David stopped outside of an alleyway and pulled out a small bear craving. The craving had some burns at the bottom half of it. This was his first ever dragon kill alone. It was him against a Gronkle in its cave next to a neighboring town of his. The dragon proved to be somewhat difficult compared to his training, but was eventually killed.
Unaware a young girl was standing next to him looking at the craving. David jumped in surprise when he saw her and so did she. He soon realized who it was and calmed down a bit, but was upset at her.
"You know. You've really got to stop doing that!" He said in a semi-loud tone while trying to sound calm. The girl just chuckled at him with her hand covering her mouth as she did so.
"Oh, so you think this is funny? Come here you!" He said as he grabbed her before she could run away. He started to tickle her to death.
"Stop... Dav... id ple... ase... stop!" She said as she tried to stop laughing, but he didn't let up until he was satisfied.
"Annabel, you've really got to stop surprising me like that." He said with concern for the two of them. Annabel gave a sigh and the twin of them sat against the wall.
"But it's not as funny." She replied. David looked her over to make sure she was alright. She still looked like the 9-year-old girl he met a couple years ago. She wore a Michael every time he met her. She had brown hair with blue eyes and a whitish yellow skin.
How the two met was rather weird to David. One day as he was traveling through the forest to get to the next town. He heard a woman's voice from the distance and soon discovered her. Her leg was stuck under a tree branch that had fallen into her. After rescuing her from the branch, she thanked him and offer her left for his service. He refused due to his kind-hearted nature to help others in need. So since then, she's been following him and the grew to be friends. Although it troubled him how she was able to follow him after all this time. But she'd disappear before he could question her. So he chooses not to ask after many tried attempts.
They got up and went to an inn nearby. After paying for a room, he showed her a wood carving of fire burning. This was a memento from his latest kill, which was a flame back (monstrous nightmare).
"That has been the toughest one I've faced yet." He said as she looked at it in detail.
"That's what you said about the last one." She said handing him the memento. David put it back in his bag and set it on the chair across from the bed.
"Alright, fine I did say that. But I think this one is going to be the toughest one I've kill at of all of them. That is if it's a dragon and not something else." He said as he thought of what dragon it could be. As well as what it was if it wasn't a dragon.
"Well, I wish you the best of luck." She said before leaving the room. David went to his room and locked the door behind him. Laying on the bed just looking at the ceiling just thinking random thoughts, but some were memories. Like when he defended his sister from the kids that were picking on her. He could keep his own with a few of them, but their numbers got the better of him. Afterwards she'd try to carry him home, but he let her to make her feel better. As he kept thinking, he soon fell asleep.
