How to Sort of BE a Dragon? Chapter 7
Sorry this took so long!
Thanks Redwolf.
-Hiccup's POV-
Well, at least they studied. The others and I are in the arena, fighting off, err, running away from a Zippelback, who is spraying gas at everyone. I get a mouthful of gas, and seeing what it does to me, I say, "Damn. I can't taste my tongue anymore." Gobber told us to douse the heads, and so far, The dragon and I are the only ones who have yet to be soaked.
"Could you just go back into your cage? It's obvious we're not gonna win." I ask the dragon, not quite seeing where it is. "Ilkin, it is YOU who picked this fight, and it is I who will finish it!" The head on the right says. Funny thing, it's not always right or left, but only one Zippelback head has a brain, and can talk.
"No I didn't, I never formally challenged you, can you please just go, we're not gonna win."
"Never!"
"Who are you talking to?" Astrid asks me. "Obviously the dragon." I reply. Astrid just gives me a weird look. "It's his fault!" I gesture in his direction.
The Zippelback headbutts me, and I fall down, though it doesn't hurt nearly as bad as it should. "Fine! If that's how you want it, THATS HOW I'LL GIVE IT TO YA!" I yell, giving him a left hook, knocking his heads together. I run between the necks and punch as hard as I can where his necks meet. "Grahaaahh!?" He yells in pain. "Fine! Fine! I concede! I'll go back to my cage!" And runs back where he said he would. I follow and shut the doors behind him.
I turn around and see everyone staring at me slack-jawed, except for Gobber, who was expecting a bit more from DragonMan. "You know what, Astrid?" And I show her the big cut on my arm, "It IS only fun if you get a scar out if it!" And I walk off, headed for the forest. Aren't I a badass?
-What is this? No! No! Nooooooo! It's a line break!-
"Today," Toothless tells me, in her semi dragon form, "We will focus on turning into a dragon. Now, I want you to grab inside yourself, with your mind, and pull what you find out, all the way." I do as she says, and... Nothing. I try again, nothing.
"Focus on grabbing something reptilian and pulling... Oh! You're human, so! Ahahaha! Pull a scaly cloak around yourself, then, but focus only on the scales for now, this will make you scaly, without completely turning you into a dragon." I focus and do as she said, closing my eyes. When I open my eyes, I see I'm covered in a layer of sapphire scales. "Uh, wow," I say, "This is odd... But SO COOL at the same time!"
"I'm glad you think so, just as I'm glad we can skip a few steps."
"Skip?"
"Yeah we were going to do some other transformative tests, but only one kind of dragon has THOSE scales."
"What kind?"
"The Moonfury. Ironic, huh? Your friend is a Nightfury, so the last thing you'd expect is to have 'fury', huh?"
"What's it look like?"
"Take a Nightmare as a base, make the snout straight, only curving at the end, triple the physical size of everything, put the sapphire scales on it, put a whole paw where there are only claws on its wing, minus the palm, so just add finger-like things to more effectively manipulate things, an BOOM!"
"BOOM?"
"Yup, BOOM! Ya got a Moonfury!"
So I close my eyes, aaaannnndddd... When I open them I am a fully fledged dragon. "Wow!" I exclaim, "I really AM a dragon!"
"Yup, and and a downright sexy one at that." She raises her hand to her lips, a look in her eye, and it makes me uncomfortable.
"Uh... Yeah, okay, sure, I, uh, sure. WHAT ABOUT RAIDS? Do I have to participate in those?"
"Most dragons do it to give food to our Queen, I do it when I just wanna be destructive. I've seen the shit you do to their houses, so why not, once you're combat trained do it ON PURPOSE? I mean, it's not like you have to kill anyone, right?"
"It might be fun to blow up Snotlout's house..."
"That's the spirit, Hiccup!"
-End-
I've made a decision. Every chapter divisible by five will be approximately the length of three chapters. Fun, right? I hope so.
Oh, and I expect reviews this time. Reviews are more important than more views. It doesn't mean I'm not appreciative of all the views, over two thousand? Thank you! But, still, reviews.
CreeperBlast is all typical. Typicality!
