Aidan groaned stepping outside. His hangover was mostly gone, only leaving him with a killer headache. Starstreak growled playfully as he stepped out.
"Hey bud," Aidan said, squinting slightly. Starstreak wailed and jumped on him.
"Ugh, get off me you giant oaf," Aidan groaned, pushing Starstreak away. The nightfury wailed loudly.
"Hey, you try having a hangover. It's not fun," Aidan muttered. Starstreak wailed and looked up.
"Of course," Aidan said, snorting in amusement. He walked around and climbed onto Starstreak's back. The dragon shot into the air and flew around Berk, he flew down towards the water.
"Don't you dare, you lizard," Aidan growled. Starstreak gurgled his reply, a nightfury's laugh, as he flew straight into the water. Starstreak shot out of the freezing depths and Aidan gasped for air. He shook his head, flinging water everywhere. Starstreak laughed again and dove back down. Aidan clung on for dear life as Starstreak shot back into the air, spiraling. Aidan let out a shout as he slipped off of the wet leather saddle. He flew down towards the water, suddenly he was plucked out of the air. He jerked his head up to set a black belly. Suddenly a face appeared over the side.
"Maybe I should drop you," Kalna said.
"Don't!" Aidan gasped. Kalna laughed.
"Razor, drop it," She commanded and the nightfury released Aidan's foot, dropping him into the water. Aidan surfaced quickly, gasping for air. Starstreak swam over to him and Aidan scrambled onto his back. Starstreak shot into the air, Aidan's clothes and hair were dripping.
"Fully awake yet?" Kalna called.
"You told him to do that! You little!" Aidan shouted, Kalna laughed.
"Go get her Starstreak," Aidan said to his dragon, leaning down against his neck. Starstreak growled in reply and shot towards Razorblade. Razorblade shot away and the two dragons started a game a tag. Kalna sat straight up when she heard a horn blare.
"Dragon Races!" She shouted at Aidan and turned Razor back towards Berk. They flew back to Berk, they watched as a bunch of Dragon riders gathered in the areana. Kalna and Aidan exchanged a glance before landing, Hiccup looked over at them.
"Gobber! Set up two more baskets!" He shouted loudly. Gobber sighed.
"Aye 'Iccup." He turned and hobbled away to get some of the goals. While he was setting up Kalna explained to rules to Aidan.
"Alright! Ye ready?" Gobber shouted. All of the racers returned a shout.
"GO!" Gobber shouted. All the dragons shot into the air as a viking released the sheep. The sheep scattered and Aidan directed Starstreak into the forest. The nightfury weaved between trees gliding when necessary. Starstreak grabbed one sheep in his talons and Aidan grabbed on himself, they flew back to the areana and dropped their sheep in their goal. Aidan let out a whoop and urged Starstreak higher. He looked to the side as Kalna flew up beside him.
"Good job, For a beginner," She said grinning.
"Is that a challenge?" Aidan asked.
"It's Dragon Racing, it's always a challenge." She said and shot away. Aidan chuckled to himself and turned Starstreak, He shot down towards a sheep only to have it snatched away.
"HEY!" He shouted and turned to see Astrid who stuck her tongue out at him. Aidan returned the gesture before flying below her. Astrid went into to catch another sheep and Aidan jumped off of Starstreak, running along a branch and dropping, grabbing the sheep. Starstreak snatched him from the air right before he hit the ground.
"Good job bud!" Aidan called up to the dragon. Starstreak wailed in pleasure and glanced down at him before heading towards the goals. Aidan jumped off, landing on the platform the baskets were on, tossing the sheep in the goal and jumping off onto Starstreaks back.
"That's Three for Aidan, 4 for Kalna, 3 for Astrid," Gobber shouted, Aidan didn't hear the rest as Starstreak shot through the clouds. He turned and spiraled down. Starstreak shot towards earth, looking like a white meteor. As Starstreak stopped his deadly descent Kalna flew up beside them.
"Now onto the Black sheep! It's worth ten points!" She shouted and flew back down. Aidan patted Starsteaks neck.
"Lets show them what we can do," he told the dragon, Starstreak wailed his aggrement.
"There," Aidan whispered, pointing at a black dot. Starstreak answered by folding in his wings and heading down towards it.
"Buddy," Aidan whispered as he saw Astrid. Starstreak nodded and spit a small plasma ball, hitting a tree straight in front of Astrid. She shouted and Aidan chuckled before urging Starstreak faster. He grabbed the black sheep in his talons and flew straight up. Aidan reached down and grabbed the black sheep, tucking it under his arm. Starstreak flew back to the goals and Aidan tossed the black sheep in.
"Aidan takes the lead!" Gobber shouted. Starstreak landed and Aidan slid off, patting the dragon.
"Good job," He said quietly. Starstreak wailed in pleasure and shot a couple plasma balls into the sky. The rest of the dragon riders landed.
"Beginners luck," Kalna said coming over.
"Eh," Aidan said shrugging.
"Good job," Hiccup said. "But don't expect to win again."
Aidan grinned.
"I'll look forward to the next race."
"So will I," Astrid said coming over. Kalna looked between the two.
"Hey," Aidan said shrugging. "It's all fair in love and war."
"What did you do?" Kalna asked.
"I may have had Starstreak shoot a tree directly in front of Astrid," Aidan said, smirking.
"Bad idea," Kalna whispered. "She will never let it go."
Aidan shrugged.
"It's not like I haven't dealed with a coupled death threats before."
"You don't understand, She's a viking," Kalna said.
"Yeah... I think Drago Bloodfist was more to worry about," Aidan said. Kalna stiffened. Every head turned to him.
"What did I do?" Aidan asked quietly.
"You've seen Drago Bloodfist?" Astrid asked.
"Yeah, I mean, he was mental and barely could walk but yeah," Aidan said shrugging. "I don't see what the big deal is."
"Tell me you didn't help him?" Kalna asked.
"Of course I did!" Aidan said crossing his arms, "He was starved, half dead, couldn't even tell us his name for a couple weeks, missing an arm, a leg, and a eye. He was cut, scared, bruised, and broken."
Everyone around him backed away.
"Okay What did I do!?" Aidan asked, Starstreak growled, cocking his head.
"Drago Bloodfist is a dragon trapper," A voice said. "He commanded a dragon to kill Hiccup but Stoick got in the way and was killed."
Everyone turned to look at the entrance of the dome.
"Boy, you listen here. You go back to you're island, you find Drago Bloodfist and you kick him off that Island, you take away his dragon, and his food. Drop him on a abandon island."
Aidan staggered backwards.
"I will do no such thing." He said crossing his arms. The man walked over to him and grabbed his arm.
"If you value your life and the life of you're dragon you will," He hissed.
"Eret, stop," Kalna said grabbing the mans arm. "Aidan only did what he thought was right, we can't blame him for not knowing."
Starstreak growled.
"Besides, You don't have anything to worry about," Aidan hissed, bringing his face close to Eret's.
"Drago Bloodfist died from attacking Starstreak three years ago," He said, and motioned to Starstreak, the dragon reared into the air, showing a long scar across his chest. Aidan turned and stormed out. Starstreak going after him, slapping Eret with his tail.
