"Um, Daddy…? Is this a good idea?"
"Mr. Haddock, I think you're crazy."
Hiccup had taken Alvis, Sven, and Loggard to the dragon arena and they were facing down the biggest baby dragon they had ever seen. It was a young Skrill that crackled with electricity in the stormy day and hissed menacingly. It backed away as they tried approaching it.
"Loggard's bigger than you boys. I thought he should start off on something a bit larger." Hiccup explained. Dodging an electric strike, he added "I wasn't exactly expecting it to be this hard to tame."
"S'all right, fellas." Loggard gulped bravely and approached the dragon Hiccup had brought back for him. Toothless circled around the two just in case it attacked.
"Easy...Easy, now, big fella…"
He put his hand in front of him and slowly came nearer. The baby dragon huffed unsurely but calmed a little. Just as Loggard was gaining confidence, it spooked and reared. Loggard staggered back, barely avoiding its claws.
Toothless instantly sprung between them hissing and spreading his wings. That only served to frighten the dragon more and it reared again to strike. Toothless did the same and his much bigger claws slashed down, ready to rend the attacking dragon to shreds.
"No, Toothless, no!" Hioccup shouted.
Without thinking, Loggard put himself between Toothless and his dragon. A horrified Toothless who could not stop in time gashed his face.
Several bandages later, Loggard sat on the arena floor.
"That should do it." Hiccup said, putting the last bandage on.
"Man, more blood, this day keeps getting better and better." Sven cheered.
"I hope it doesn't hurt, Loggard." Alvis said sympathetically.
"Not one bit, little man."
"That's a good boy." Hiccup encouraged him. "Though you are sure getting a scar out of that."
The baby dragon sniffed Loggard cautiously, keeping his distance.
Loggard looked at him sourly.
"You happy now, then, mate? I look like a right proper Outcast on account of you."
The dragon licked him in response.
"He likes you!" Alvis exclaimed.
"I…I suppose he does."
"He trusts you because you put yourself in front of Toothless for him." Hiccup theorized proudly "I don't think he's gonna be a problem anymore, Loggard."
The dragon came closer and licked Loggard some more.
"So what do I call you, big fella, huh?" Loggard asked him.
"Well that scar of yours earned him." Hiccup said "So how's Scarmark?"
"Scarmark…I like it." Loggard decided, patting his Skrill on the head, getting small static shocks.
"Mr. Haddock, can I get a scar from a crazy dragon?"
"No, Sven."
A/N: And now all three of them have their dragons! Idea of it being a Skrill is Sparrow2000's. Thank you for reading/reviewing!
