Hiccup's POV:
Me and Gale walked into the Training ring to find it had been turned into a maze, there were walls everywhere and you could faintly hear the voices of the twins who had ventured deep into the maze already. I glanced over to Gale who had been playing with her new small weapon since we left the forge, she had looked up and seemed to be as surprised as me to find the wooden walls.
"Not good, lots of things to fall into" I heard her whisper to herself.
"Don' jus' stand there, ge' in there!" I heard Gobber shout down to us, Gale was the one to lead us in, as we stepped through the massive gate, it came crashing down behind us, this means the dragons gonna be let out soon. As if it read my mind the squawk of a Nadder could be heard echoing through the passages.
"The Deadly Nadder is quick and ligh'on it's feet, your job is to be quicker and ligh'er!" Boomed Gobber.
I turned to Gale to find she had run off, if she had I probably should aswell. I ran down the maze for about 5 minutes without any sign of life, was I lost? Probably. I looked up to find Gobber resting on the bars that roofed the ring.
"GOBBER!"
"Hiccu'? Wha' you doin' here?"
"I got lost!"
Gobber put his head in his good hand and let out a sigh "Only you Hiccup!"
I started to hear some voices coming towards me, I turned to find Astrid and Snotlout running my way, I looked back up to Gobber and saw he was looking out further into the ring, was the Nadder near?
"Hiccup!" I heard someone harshly whisper, I turned to see Astrid and Snotlout crouched against the wall, "Get down!"
I went over and joined the two against the wall and spotted the Nadder, it was focused on something else but it was there! Astrid forward rolled to the next wall past the Nadder with Snotlout in close pursuit, when I tried the shield on my arm weighed me down and created a clang on the ground. The Nadder turned and came running my way.
Gale-Breaker's POV:
I'm lost! I've been walking around for the whole time and all I've seen was the tail of the Nadder. I turned another end to find a dead end, brilliant, I looked up and watched a flock of Terrible Terrors fly frantically in order to escape any Vikings.
I took my sword and plunged it into the wooden wall just deep enough that I can still quite easily pull it out, I also took out my new small knife and did the same, I started to climb up so I could find someone, anyone!
Once I was on top of the wall and did my best to not fall off, I looked around, I looked over to the Nadder to see Hiccup fail a forward roll, the Nadder instantly took off after him, I jumped around on top of the walls and made my way over to the flailing Hiccup, I got a few walls ahead of him and carefully put my hand down to grab him, just as he was running past I hooked him by the collar, "Gotcha!" I started to pull him up but my fingers gave way and I dropped him, you would never guess where he landed!
I pulled back my arm and sat down on the wall so I could watch the Nadder running around trying to get Hiccup off of her back, it was hilarious! That was until the Nadder came running straight at the wall I was on, I jumped up and fell to the ground, the Nadder burst through the wall with a shower of splinters, I could hear Hiccup screaming on it's back, the world seemed to go in slow motion. I put my hand up to the snout of the dragon and calmed it down, I moved my hand down to her tail and smoothed down her spikes to show her I won't hurt her.
Astird's POV:
I turned the corner to see Gale stroking the tail of a Nadder! What is happening?! Then I noticed the panting Hiccup looking traumatized on the beasts back, Gale stood back from the Nadder and made a weird growling sound, like the ones she would make before she spoke any Norse.
"Hiccup, you can get off now, she's calm!" She said with a strange tone to her voice, it was quiet but not the 'you don't want to be seen quiet' the 'stay calm' one, was it for the dragon.
"O-o-k-k" Hiccup replied as he slowly and shakily removed himself from the dragon, once he was on the ground he collapsed, Gale looked at him but did nothing, "I may just stay here for the rest of the day!"
"Of course you would say something like that after being on a dragon!" I said, drawing closer to them.
At the sound of my voice the dragon tensed up and started frantically sniffing the air, the spikes on it's tail shot up and the dragon was after me!
Gale-Breaker's POV:
I stood there as Astrid was being chased by the Nadder through the maze, Hiccup carefully got up on his feet and stood next to me also watching as all of this happen, Astrid jumped up onto the walls as she attempted to outrun the dragon but the Nadder easily followed her up and the race had been taken to above ground, all of the teens had now gathered around because the maze was now collapsing around us.
There was only a few walls left now, Astrid and the Nadder were still jumping around like mad, as Astrid jumped onto the last wall, it fell back making her fall forward onto Hiccup, the worlds most unfortunate Viking.
"Oooooh, Love on the Battle field!" Cried Tuffnut
"She could do better" Said his sister
I watched the two as Astrid stood up and tried to get her axe un-lodged in his shield, a familiar squawk could be heard and Astrid pulled harder as the Nadder grew closer, she pulled the shield off of his arm and swung it round hitting the Nadder straight in the snout. The Nadder retreated to it's cage, defeated, I watched as it went then spun my head round to Hiccup who was once again on the floor, Astrid returned to him and pointed her axe at him.
"Is this some kind of a joke to you!? Our parents war is about to become ours!" She pushed her axe closer to him " Figure out which side your on!"
I would have stayed to help Hiccup but Astrid pulled me out of the ring, I was still meeting him tonight though to feed Night. On our way out I picked up a big chunk of wood and put it under my arm.
"Why were you so hard on him Astrid, it's not his fault I dropped him on a dragon!" I asked as I jogged to keep up with her.
"It's not about that, whenever he tries to fight dragons he always ends up making an even bigger mess then they do, it's as if he wants them to win the war!" She looks over to me and I can see the anger burning behind her eyes, she shakes her head and sighs, "Whats with the chunk of wood?"
"I'll show you later..." My eyes had wandered to the sky again, this must be the longest I have ever been able to stay on the ground and my longing for flight was growing.
"Gale...?"
"Huh, what?" I said as I was snapped out of my trance.
"Go through the door." She said as she gestured to the door.
Hiccup's POV:
I silently trudged home with a new array of scars from the Nadder ride today, it wasn't fun. I opened the giant door of my home and flopped through it, when i'm home alone I live by my rules, which probably aren't the best.
I went up to my room and took out my notebook, I worked on my drawing of the Night Fury and remembered I was meeting Gale to go see him today, then we have to meet Gobber on one of the catapult towers for dinner and so he can share some of his many tall tales. Yay (Sarcasm).
HAPPY SUNDAY!
I have decided I'm going to post 2 chapters a dya, just until I have to start writing them, not just load them up, so expect another one later today!
