The first night in our new home was sort of nice and I was going to miss sleeping in the forest from time to time. Not like I mind it, as long if I wasn't near water. I was up half of the night looking through my dragon book to find what kind of dragon the one that would not leave me alone. But, sleep took over me and I already hit my head against something already. I thought exploring the village first thing in the morning and meet a few people my age.
Not like I was looking for romances. I just like to meet people get to know them before I left. I don't why, but I always feel like I was going to leave them before I ever got to know them. I think it because I'm afraid to lose my sight completely. I can't see the world clearly like everyone else can already. But, I was hoping to change that. I was scared if anyone found out I was half blind or scared of water, things could get ugly for me.
Now, from what I heard about Berk, this was place was dragon slaying heaven for Vikings. But, since then, people ride them now. Each one was different from the last. I wish I could fly with them. Then, water spitted at me again. That dragon was never, I mean never going to leave me alone. I didn't know what it want from me? Did it want food or something on those lines?
"It that dragon again?"
"What is it doing here again?"
I over heard the villagers talking about this fallow. They didn't know what kind of dragon this is either? I didn't see why they wouldn't, I couldn't find anything about this one. They only thing I know about it that it glowed when it's in the water and love to spit at me. It sort of sounds like a dolphin and it had some fish like features on it's body.
It had wings like a bird and it scales were dark blue and shinned like sky. It just sat there like a dog would and stared at me. I walk away from it and it followed me. The way it walk was like a cat. I started to run a little and it just kept following me. I was about to attack this thing soon. I hit my head against a wall this and it was right next to me.
"Hey, no, no, no. Bad dragon. Bad dragon."
It moved away from me just a bit when someone came out of the blue. It just lay flat on the ground while it's tail was up in the air. It look like it wanted a rub on it's stomach . It acted like a house pet then a dragon. I laughed at it when it got it's rub. It jump up and I was suddenly on it back. What was it planning to do with me?
It look up to the sky and saw five others flying in the air. Wait, was it planning on flying with me on it's back. I tried to move slowly off it before it noticed I was gone, I was on it's tail when it suddenly jumped into the air. I closed my eyes for a mere moment. It was trying to kill me or something. I open one of my eyes and saw the village below me. I was in the air, I was flying. I look back at the dragon, it's wings were like angels wings. I couldn't believe this, I was flying. It moved it's tail around a little bit, it somehow knew I was on it's tail trying it's best not drop me.
I couldn't believe my dreams were becoming true. I suddenly forgotten how to breath when it turn to closest mountain. I moved a little trying to get back it's back. It suddenly send me off it's tail and I was in the clouds and finally on it's back. I thought I heard it laugh and we were on the ground in one second. I fall off it's back, taking in a deep breath in of reality. I thought I saw it smile at me for a moment.
"Wow, your dragon is a out of control there."
I look behind me and saw a group of kids around my age. Each of them had dragons with them as well. Each of them was different from the last, a few of them matched their riders as well or their personality? Water hit my back again and heard it laughing at me. I was really getting annoyed with it.
"So, what your dragon's name?"
I look at them for a moment, did they thought I was a rider too. I wasn't, I was an artist. But, after riding through the air like that, I guess I could lie about that.
"Water Drop." Water Drop was the perfect name for it. Since it kept spitting water at me. It gave me a look like it didn't want a name. It could at least play along what I'm doing here.
"Hey, aren't the new girl."
News must travel fast around a village like Berk. If they ask for my name they would laugh at it for sure. I had to thing of a name fast, if they hear my true name, I'm going to be the laughingstock of the village.
"Hawk. My name is Hawk."
To be honest…that was my father's name. Alexander could not top that name off. I hope he didn't find out I was using it for something like this. I would have my arms ripped off in a single second. Water Drop gave me the same look when I turn my head back to see it's face.
"If you're new? How did you-"
"It was following me. So I trained it for two nights."
So I lied about this, if they found out I wasn't a dragon rider or found out my name isn't Hawk, I could jump in to my grave right now and die of embarrassment. Not like anyone would care about me. Before I knew it, they started to shake my hands and begin asking me questions. Like "How did you train it" or something like "Was it hard to tame it in two nights?"
I realized that time got away from us, they said like to race me tomorrow and see how fast Water Drop was. But, the odd thing was….no ask what type of dragon Water Drop was. I guess they didn't really care much about what kind it was. They wanted to race it tomorrow afternoon or before sundown.
I watch all of them leave with their dragons, I couldn't believe how they tamed them in the first place. Water Drop scoop me off my feet while I hold on to it's tail. It fly above the water which made me really nerves. I was back home when it laid next to my new home. I saw it skin glowing like the stars above me.
"Sorry…I got you into this…"
Once again, it spit water at me again. I like to know why it like that then breathing fire out? I ran back inside to grab my sketchbook, I wanted to draw it so I can ask anyone who might have a good idea what kind of dragon Water Drop was. When I came back outside, it was gone. I look around till water was on my back.
"Must you do that?!"
Sorry for the wait guys, been busy lately.
