The next day, Caleri and Sila flew to the arena to start their training. Wingstorm and Fangmouth looked up in surprise. The other dragons and Vikings were surprised that they had another person joining them.

"Ah, more fresh blood. Come, join us," Hiccup said, waving them over. Caleri moved closer to the group and the lessen began. The practiced flying and Caleri and Sila were by far the best. Wingstorm and Buff messed around most of the time, resulting in the boy falling from his dragon. Fangmouth and Meridia almost never got off the ground. The girl was very timid and reluctant to mount Fangmouth, but he was very patient.

It was late afternoon when Hiccup finally called the lessen to an end. "Caleri, will you and your dragon please stay?" The other trainees left, leaving Sila and Caleri with Hiccup. "That was some excellent flying you did today, you two. You are in great sink with her," Hiccup said. Caleri blushed at the compliment.

"Thank you," she replied shyly.

"I was impressed that you two did so well. Normally it takes weeks or sometimes months for trainees to get that good," he continued. Caleri and Sila beamed with pride. He rested a hand on Caleri's shoulder and patted Sila's head. "Keep it up and you guys will be the top of the class and get to do the Challenge." He walked away, leaving the two females to digest what he told them.

"What's the Challenge?" Sila asked. Caleri shook her head.

"I have no idea. I've heard it and only the best Dragon Trainers are allowed to partake," Caleri concluded. Sila nodded and they walked back to the village. They were greeted by Wingstorm and Fangmouth with their humans.

"That was amazing flying out there, Caleri," said Buff. He boldly threw his arm around her shoulder. Caleri lifted his arm off by his middle finger.

"Thank you," she replied. Meridia smiled shyly at Caleri and Sila.

"That was awesome what you did in class today," the red head said in a soft voice. Fangmouth curled around his mistress and gave her a gentle nudge. She giggled and stroked his neck scales. Sila smiled at her siblings and Wingstorm gave her a broad smile.

"Hey, sis, how'd you do all that stuff today?" she asked Sila.

"We just seem to understand each other," Sila said, winking at Caleri.

"That's right," the girl replied. The other two human teenagers looked at her in bewilderment.

"Who are you talking to?" Buff asked. Caleri looked between the two and her smile faded.

"Sila, why?"

"You can talk to your dragon!" Meridia exclaimed in her quiet voice.

"That is so cool! I wonder if we can do that?" Buff said. He turned to Wingstorm and gave her a goofy smile. "Can you understand me? If so, talk back." Wingstorm nodded and said something in dragon. Buff shook his head and a disappointed look crossed his face.

"Nothing?" Meridia asked. Buff nodded sadly and looked back to Caleri.

"How come you can talk to Sila?" Buff asked. "Why can't Wavewing…."

"Wingstorm."

"What?"

"Your dragon's birth name is Wingstorm," Caleri replied. "And your dragon's real name is Fangmouth," she told Meridia.

"How'd you know that?" Buff asked. Caleri looked at Sila and Buff nodded in understanding. There was a pause between them when Meridia spoke up.

"Teach us," she whispered. Caleri looked at the other girl in confusion. Meridia met Caleri's eyes. "Teach us to be one with our dragons." Caleri kept the other girls gaze for a few moments before looking at Sila. The Night Fury nodded and Caleri looked at her peers.

"Okay."
