A dragon will always go for the kill said Hicca repeating Gobber.

After practice, Hicca went off the woods.

So why didn't you? Said Hicca examining the remains of her trap that once held the rare dragon.

Hicca walked further into the forest. Following the path, the Night Fury had taken the day before. She scooted between two large rocks. And behind them is a small canyon complete with trees and a lake.

She took a moment to look around the canyon.

Well, this was stupid said Hicca.

Then she spotted something out of the corner of her eye.

It was four black scales.

As she knelt and picked one up to examine it when a large black figure flew by sending her backwards holding her heart.

It was the Night Fury. trying to calm out of the Canyon. But the rocks were to smooth for its sharp claws to grab onto. It glided down and across the lake in the center and landed by a tree that was opposite from Hicca.

Hicca worked up the nerve and rose to her feet. She jumped down to a rock ledge and tried to get a better look at the Dragon as it tried to fly out again.

She pulled out her journal from her vest as the dragon failed two more times to fly away.

She quickly sketched the basic shape of the dragon: large wings, small fins behind its wings and two tail fins.

Why don't you just fly away? Said Hicca.

Then Hicca notices one of the tailfins is missing. She smudged the tailfin out of her drawing.

She watched him try to fly again. Only to crash by the lake.

A fish leaped out if the lake and the dragon walked to the edge and peered in.

Looking for a meal.

Diving in to catch one.

The Dragons head out of the water empty and aggravated.

Hicca felt the guilt creep in.

It was her fault the dragon was struck down.

She had to have been to reason the tailfin was lost.

Her mind in an endless jumble she set her charcoal pencil down on the journal but it rolled off the rock and landed in the canyon.

She froze and looked at the dragon.

Her cover was blown.

The Night Fury looked up at her.

It's green eyes full of suspicion and curiosity.

She stared back as it let out low rumbling noises.

Something seemed to pass between the two of them.

But she didn't know for the life of her what it was.
