Draco Pov
I had asked Gobber if I could help him with dragon training since I wouldn't fight them." Ok you can help,tomorrow when I give you a signal you pull the lever to open the cages of the dragons" he said. Gobber and I went to the arena half an hour before the training began, I put racks with shields in the places he said and then scattered a few all around the arena. Gobber went to the large metal door and opened it to let the teens in,"welcome to dragon training" he said and they walked in. "No turning back" Astrid said," I hope to get some serious burns" Tuffnut said. "I'm hoping for som mauling, like on my shoulder or lower back" Ruffnut said." Yeah, its only fun if you get a scar out of it" Astrid replied. "Yeah, no kidding, right? Pain,love it." Hiccup said as he walked in. The teens turned and let their annoyance hear." Oh great who let hm in" Tuffnut said. Gobber who noticed it said"lets get this started. The recruit who does best will win the honor of killing his first dragon in front of the entire village"."Hiccup already killed a Night Fury ,so does that disqualify him or ..." Snotlout said." Can I transfer to the class with the cool vikings" Tuffnut said as they went stand in line. Gobber put his arm around Hiccup and took him aside."don't worry. You are small and weak. That 'll make you less of a target. They'll see you as sick or insane and go after the more viking-like teens instead. Hiccup stand next to Fishlegs and Gobber walked past the doors"behind these doors are just a few of the species you will learn to fight" he said. "The Deadly Nadder,the hideous Zippleback, the Monstrous Nightmare,..." he said meanwhile Fishlegs was saying stuff like"speed 8 armor 16, plus 11 stealth,times 2,firepower 15""... The Terrible Terror"Gobber continued."attack 8,venom 12" Fishlegs said"can you stop that" Gobber said angry"... and the Gronckle" he finished"jaw strenght 8" Fishlegs said quietly. Gobber nodded to me and I went to the lever on the Gronckles cage a I pulled it Snoutlout yelled"whoa wait, aren't you gonna teach us first""I believe in learning on the job" Gobber said and both me as Hiccup knew it was true. A soon as the cage was unlocked the gronckle charged at the teens making them scramble in all directions except Ruffnut and Tuffnut who ran towards it." Today is all about survival,if you get blasted your dead,quick what is the first thing you need" he said "a doctor"Hiccup said "plus 5 speed." Fishlegs said." A shield " Astrid said."shields go."Gobber said and the teens ran to find a most important piece of equipment is your shield. If you must make a choice between a sword or a shield, take the shield. Hiccup struggles to pick it up so Gobber helps him and send him in. Ruffnut and Tuffnut stand around a pile of shield but they both pick the only one with a skull painted on it. "Get your hands of my shield" Tuffnut say"there are like a million shields" Ruffnut says, "take that one, it has flowers on it, girls love flowers"Tuffnut says wich earns him a shield bash in the face from Ruffnut."oops now this one has blood on it"she says. The Gronckle uses their fighting to fire a blast at then, hitting the shield and knocking it away. They spin like a toll and fall down."Ruffnut, Tuffnut out" Gobber say."what"they both ask. Ad the gronckle scoops down and eat a pile of rocks Gobber says"Those shields are good for another thing. Noise. Make lots of it to throw off a dragon's aim." The teens slam their weapons against th rim of their shields confusing the dragon." All dragons have a limited number of shots, how much does a gronckle have" he continues." Five"Snotlout asks"no,six"Fishlegs correct him."six correct, that's one for each one of you" Gobber say."I really don't think my parents would"Fishlegs say but is interrupted as his shield gets blasted away."Fishlegs,out"Gobber says."Hiccup, get in there!" He continues as he sees Hiccup hiding from the gronckles blasts."so anyway I'm moving into my parents' basement. You should come by sometime to work out. You look like you work out-"Snotlout says to Astrid trying to hit on her. Astrid rolls out of the way of an incoming shot and it hit Snotlout his shield blasting him on his back. "Snotlout! You're done!" Gobber says. Astrid meanwhile stops rolling beside Hiccup." So, I guess it's just you and me huh?" He ask Astrid."No,just you" she replied and rolls away,seconds later Hiccup's shield get blasted of his arm leaving him exposed."One shot left!" Gobber yells. Hiccup panics and chases after his shield as it rolls across the sudden movement sends the Gronckle chasing after him, leaving Astrid in the clear. "Hiccup!"Gobber Gronckle drives straight toward Hiccup, pinning him against the wall. It opens its mouth ready to fire lunges in and hooks the Gronckle's mouth at the last second, causing its head to jerk back and fire against the stone wall above Hiccup's head." And that's six" gobber says as he wrestles the irate Gronckle back into his pen." Go back to bed,ya overgrown sausage! You'll get another chance,don't you worry." Gobber says and he turns to the recruits." Remember... a dragon will always,always go for the kill." He says as he looks stern at hoists Hiccup to his feet and walks off. Hiccup looks overhead to see a steaming pit in the solid stone wall. Hiccup is in the woods again at the site where he released the Night Fury studying the remains of the boala."So...why didn't you?" He ask to drops the bola and presses on in the direction it flew off. He drops into a rocky crevice and follows it to an...isolated cove complete with a pristine spring pool. He scans the high stone walls... then notices a single black scale on the ground. He crouches and picks it up, studying it."Well this was stupid." He says. Suddenly, the NIGHT FURY blasts past him. Hiccup recoils,watching the massive beast struggle to climb the walls. It flaps violently, then peels away to a rough landing. The dragon is grins, excited to see it again, and slips watches as the dragon, exhausted and frustrated, leaps into the air, beating its wings furiously. Again and again,it rolls uncontrolled and crashes if remembering to snap a photo, Hiccup pulls a leather-bound book and flips past drawings of weapons to a blank page. He sketches the dragon quickly, desperate to record the Fury claws at the steep rock walls, trying climb out of the cove. It looses its grip and falls hard, crushing several Fury rolls back to his feet and slowly crawls to the water's edge. He spots fish in the shallow water and snaps at them... but comes up empty. He lowers his head, looking weakened."why don't you just... fly away"Hiccup then spots the problem. He adjusts his drawing,carefully erasing one half of the dragon's tail. He accidentally drops the charcoal stick. It rolls off of the rock outcropping that hides him from view and bounces into the Night Fury raises his head as he hear the sound, spotting Hiccup. They exchange a profound, unflinching stare.
