A/n: Good news. In only a day, I got 3 Favs and 6 alerts! Soooo, I'm going to continue it. Enjoy... Hopefully.
Toria sat up and stretched her arms. A wave of hot air overlapped her. "Your a dragonborn." Smaug decided. She looked blankly up at the dragon, expecting more.
"Or you've been cursed. But either way, I would like to see you turn." He admitted. Toria nodded and stood up. Her face tensed in great focus and pain. Scales sprouted out of her skin and her teeth grew into fangs.
Wings unfolded as she grew to her full size, a small silverish purple dragon with magenta eyes. Smaug smirked, "Can you fly? All dragons are supposed to fly, breathing fire will be essential as well.".
"No, I can't fly or breath fire, but I don't see why I need to." Toria shook her head, staring wide-eyed at the much larger beast.
Smaug cackled deeply and patted his tail on the girl's spiked head. "You need to be a fierce dragon to be my apprentice and take over the Erebor ruins when I'm gone." He replied.
"Keep your head up! You don't need to know how high up you are. Flap your wings harder." snapped Smaug.
Toria grunted in annoyance as her wing banged against an ore smelter. "Why do I have to train in here!?" She complained. "It has plenty of obstacles. You can stop now, I suppose we'll work on your flying more tomorrow. Now, how is your fire breathing going along?" He sighed.
A red glow seeped out of Toria's chest as she inhaled deeply. Toria breathed out, spluttering and coughing up purple sparks and smoke. "It's useless. I'll never get it right!" Toria gave in, collapsing to the stone paved ground.
Smaug looked at the melodramatic apprentice and mumbled. "A mighty dragon never gives up.".
"Well, I'm not a mighty dragon. I'm not used to breathing a hot element out of my mouth anyways. Why can't dragons breath something like cake or ice-cream...Oh, or water!" exclaimed the small drake.
"Some dragons do breath that." groaned Smaug. Toria looked up, her eyes filled with excitement as she was about to say something. "No, there are no such things as cake and ice-cream dragons. I meant the water." He sighed in exasperation.
Toria's tail and wings flopped in disappointment as her mentor slunk away. She carefully looked around and began practicing her fire skills, yes catching a few banners and dwarf bones ablaze in the process, but she improved.
