Hiccup POV:
Walking to the great hall has never felt so sick inducing, after the training session everyone has to go there for food and a talk from Gobber, I decided to take as long as I could but I know Gobber would want me to be there. As I walked I wondered about the Night-Fury and why Gale had been so close to it, she called it her brother but what did she mean, I haven't talked to her since yesterday because Astrid is the one who is looking after her so they are always together.
I walked up the steps that lead to the giant doors of the great hall, once I stood in front of them, I used all my strength to pull one open.
"And where did Astrid go wrong in the ring?" I heard the booming voice of Gobber shout.
"I messed up my somersault dive so I miss judged my backwards roll." I heard the beautiful voice of Astrid say, even when she's being hard on herself she sound and nice as always.
"Your what?" I heard Gale ask beside her
"No no, it was so... Astrid" Said Snotlout in another attempt to flirt with her, he has a worse chance than me.
"She's righ' you've got to be hard on your self!" Gobber advised as a grabbed my food and sat on the table next to them alone. "Where did Hiccup go wrong today?"
Here we go, "Ughh, he showed up" Said Ruffnut
"He didn't get eaten" added her brother Tuffnut
"He's never where he should be." Astrid said giving me a quick glare.
"Right, Astrid." Growled Gobber as he hit the twins heads, he pulled out a book and dropped it onto the table, "You need to live and breathe this stuff, the dragon manual... no dragon raids tonight, hurry up!"
"Wait you mean read?"
"While we're still alive?" Exclaimed the twins
Gale-Breaker's POV:
I sat in my seat silently as I watched the scene in front of me, I eventually got bored and looked over to Hiccup who looked equally as bored, I gave him a little wave before watching many of the teens get up and leave, I also stood up but for a different reason, I sat next to Astrid and I can tell, Hiccup likes her so if I leave so them to are the only ones there something might happen, I grabbed my cup and walked over to where all the food and stuff was kept.
I hid behind the giant barrel filled with a liquid I heard the Vikings call Mead and watched, Hiccup had walked over to her but she just got up and left, well done Hiccup, I filled my cup and walked back over to the table, I sat back in my seat and watched as Hiccup's face fell in defeat.
"You're not very good at that are you"
"No, I don't think so"
"It was a rhetorical question, I can see you're not" I said putting my cup down, he sighed and looked down at the book laid down in front of us.
"I guess I could have said something that wasn't to do with reading, that probably wasn't a good topic."
"Have you read it?" I picked it up and flicked through the pages getting glimpses of all the pictures of the various dragons.
"No, never had to before now."
We read the book together and just had some idle chat, I learnt some stuff and I hope so did he, nothing happened until...
'Night fury...nex- NIGHT FURY!?' For the past few minuets I have been just scanning the words and reading them out in Dragonese so that anyone wouldn't know what I'm saying to myself, "Hiccup! Look, the Night Fury page of the book is blank, when Astrid said no one had ever seen one I thought it was a joke!"
"Nope, we are the only ones to ever survive one, I probably wouldn't unless you stopped him" I know where this is going and I don't want it to go there. "How did you?"
"I've had my fair share of dragons, I know how to calm them 'and speak to them' so, it comes quite easy to do that sort of thing."
Hiccup didn't answer, he turned his attention to the page about the Night Fury and read the very little information it had about them out loud.
"Speed unknown, size unknown, the unholy offspring of lightning and death, if this thing finds you, your best chance is to hide and pray it doesn't find you!
This is a short one so I decided I could upload it today aswell
