Ch-9 My Dragon…
He dragged me into his house and said that if I don't do this then he'll go complain to the chief and the chief will come to his house and beat me! I would've said "Bring him to me!" but without my loved ones, I couldn't. He kept boasting about himself and said that he defeated The Red Death, the queen of all dragons and the many other things "Once I blah blah blah" and "Hiccup is scared of me because blah blah blah" I got the shock of my life when he mentioned that he and Hiccup were cousins! He even boasted about Astrid that "Astrid is shy to say that she is in love with me because blah blah blah" But that time, even I like an idiot believed him! But all afternoons I go out…uh… somewhere. Even I was… uh… doing something. He complained that most afternoons I wasn't in his house. Even I had secrets.
I just had one goal-find out who was the shadow and bring him down. I often thought about the advantages of the shipwreck. "At least I wouldn't see William" but as I thought that, I remember of my friends. It's an eye for an eye, not an eye (William) for ten eyes (my friends)!
But that doesn't mean that my hate for Snotlout became less. He used me for all types of work! His friends always tried to tell him that I should be not worked like this. 'Ok, but at least get him a dragon like all of us' said Hiccup. I liked him very much. 'Fine!' said Snotlout even though he didn't want me to have one. 'It will be of my use too, as you are Aditya! Weird name.' (Everybody knows whose name is weird, right?)
"Fine!" said Snotlout.
They took me to the great hall of Berk. It is the hall in which people hang out, store food during winter, etc. They showed me the book of dragons in which all sorts of dragon's info was kept and according to Hiccup, Fishlegs had read this book eight or nine times. He showed me all the categories of dragons but only one caught my eye. The Changewing (See info in the first chapter). I wanted one of them. Hiccup said 'It's hard to find a Changewing, nevertheless train one' but I wanted one of them. 'Don't worry. Where there is a will, there is a way.' I said. 'What did you just say?' asked Hiccup, 'Note this, it will come to use sometime.'
They didn't know this! I mean, most of the world knows this quote but they don't! They said that I can find it in the Unlandable Cove or the Changewing Island. I chose Changewing Island. We went there and the scenery was very damp. Hiccup said 'Unlandable Cove features a large damp swamp and several small rock formations rising out of the murky water. There are many plants and vines around this area, and the area is very foggy. Tall trees rise out of the ground on the outer rim of the area. The Deadly Nadder's lair is found in this spot and the Changewing is also found here.'
This is what I saw. On the tree was
hanging a white paper saying that 'If you
to train a Changewing, then you have
come to the right place. I turned my head
and saw another thing. Three changewings!
Nobody else could see
them. Can you? 'Don't
make a sound' I
whispered. 'What's the
matter?' asked Fishlegs.
Hearing the voice of Fishlegs (Even though it is not at all rough), two of the changewings ran away. 'Shut up, Fishlegs!' I whispered. The third one which was lying in the grass slowly came up to me. In the process it changed its color to red (the original one). Everyone except me went back as Hiccup instructed. 'I'm not a threat' I said. I showed my hand (if it wants you as its owner it will let you touch it and have a ride on its back).
After hesitating a little, it let me touch it and climb at its back. Before taking off Hiccup said 'Human moisture sooths a dragon which didn't have any humans on it before' I made a what-do-you-mean type of face. Hiccup sighed 'Your spit.' 'Oh, ok' I spat at one of my hands and rubbed it against the dragon. It was soothed. Then it took off and believe me, it was the most awesome thing that happened to me! Now I knew how it was to fly!
Boy, Superman would have
enjoyed flying! I was joined by Hiccup
and his friends. Snotlout said us to land
for a while. We agreed.
We landed. 'Now that got a dragon you can join our academy' said Hiccup before Snotlout could say anything. 'Sure'
'That is quite a dragon, I must say' said Snotlout. 'Thanks' I said. 'Too bad it's not mine' he added. After staying with Snotlout I understood what his plan is and said 'Forget Snotlout! This is my dragon!' I said. 'Oh, think about it. You don't want deny a master like me' said Snotlout. 'Stay strong Aditya' said Astrid, She was just like Anna but this time I didn't have a crush on her. 'Give it to me!' said Snotlout in a ferocious voice. He picked me up by the collar and was going to throw me but at the time, my dragon picked up Snotlout and took him to a cliff and sat down, having Snotlout in his arms and growling more ferociously. 'You're more ferocious than Snotlout! I give you the name of Tiger.'
