Chapter 11 here we go
Chapter 11 -
Each tribes heir and chief had arrived to the training arena and instantly began their own training sessions , some used combat training and others endurance training, all apart from one heir. Shadow simply just sat on the same ledge he was on earlier and just watched everyone train, Astrid who had been allowed to train on her own noticed this and walked over to him. "So you plan on just sitting down in the tournament then?" Astrid joked , "It may seem that way but I'm doing my own kind of training" he replied grinning, "Oh really please tell" Astrid asked , "Well it's fairly simple I'm studying everyone else, learning their strengths and weaknesses without them even taking any notice" he replied confidently, "Oh that's actually a smart idea , I wouldn't of thought of doing that" She said surprised, "Most dont but it's one of my tactics, you see I'm not a great believer that a battle is won with just brawn, you see an intelligent fighter uses his strengths against his rivals weaknesses ,that is my style " he explained "Snotlout for example is strong but is arrogant and easily frustrated , he cannot stand to be second best thus why he is trying to perform my elbow strike but failing horribly." Shadow laughed which made Astrid laugh at Snotlout when she saw.
Shadow then got an idea to really make Snotlout angry "Here Astrid I'll show you how to do it" Shadow smiled as he jumped down in front of her, "Trust me it's a good to use you can generate more power into this strike than other" he explained, "I doubt that I mean if your accurate with it I can understand knocking someone out but I've seen Vikings break logs with a swift punch or kick , an elbow strike isn't as strong as that" Astrid disagreed, Shadow just smiled cheekily and walked over to one of the training logs and stood it up, he walked away from it and did his whole arm behind back, neck click thing , he ran and jumped 360 and struck the log breaking it in half easily thus shocking Astrid , "You were saying?" He joked , "Ok teach away" she laughed.
After an hour of showing her the technique and her trying a couple of times she was getting the hang of it to the point she could perform it with no trouble but could not generate the power, " Argh this shouldn't be this hard" Astrid yelled , the lesson had gathered an audience including the members of Berk who saw what was going on but because Shadow was talking quietly to Astrid whilst teaching no one could hear the lesson. "Ok you have the technique right, we just need to work on your posture for the power" Shadow explained, "Ok how?" Astrid asked annoyed , "Well um may I " Shadow gestured to allow contact between him an Astrid who blushed but nodded yes, Shadow stood behind her and grabbed her right arm and brought around her back , "Ok loosen up a bit relax your legs and hips and lean forward a bit" He explained , Astrid did as told again blush realising that her hips were touch his "Is this were I do the neck click thing" Astrid asked , "No no that's just something I do" Shadow laughed "Now just run a few steps and jump , when you step to jump start turning for the 360 then as your coming around to face your victim start to bring your arm out in a bend pointing the elbow out , as you land on your left foot finish bringing your arm out with the elbow strike and your speed and momentum will generate the power." He explained as he moved away to allow her to execute the move.
Astrid did as she was told she loosened up her legs and hip to relax and leaned forward, she took a ran a few steps and went to jump before noticing who was in front of her. "Snotlout! What are you doing?!" She yelled as she stopped, "What am I doing, what are you doing training with this bag a fish bones" Snotlout asked insulting the dragon rider, "You know what Snotty I think I sense a hint of jealousy in your voice and envy in your eyes , so I suggest that if you want to being to continue speaking and be able to see anything through your eyes I would shut up otherwise I found the perfect target for Astrid to practice on!" Shadow threatened which made Snotlout step back in slightly shaking this made Astrid smile. Shadow was is no mood to be looked at as a freak, "My training is over, ensure you lock the gate when you leave." He said as he turned and walked out of the arena, he passed Astrid and mouthed "I'm sorry" this made Astrid's eyes widen "Why is that so familiar?" She asked herself watching the heir leave the arena.
It had been a hour is that moment in the arena and Hiccup was sat with Toothless on near the edge of a cliff just looking out to the ocean in deep thought, "I don't know what to think bud, I just feel so angry all the time like there is something clawing at my head trying to get in , my mind feels so darkened and rage filled." Lahr said to his best friend. "What do you expect with the past that you have lived" he heard a female voice shout from above.
His mother landed on her dragon a Stormcutter know as Cloudjumper, "Well I don't know how to contain it" he said depressed, "Well that's because you've always thought with your heart and not your head, but sometimes rage and anger can over trough it" Valka explained, "Everyone had a darkness inside them and some can control it whilst others are consumed by it, you must balance darkness with light, but you need something to ensure your heart is what drives you" She explained looking to tv horizon, "Well you and Toothless are the most important things in my life I'd say that's a bright enough light" Hiccup guessed , "There is a light that you can only find with your heart and it makes you change when is brightens up ... Love" she again explained now looking at Hiccup, "Well I don't have time to search for love" Hiccup shrugged his shoulders.
"There is no need to search, you have already found it" Valka smiled as she climbed onto Cloudjumper and flew away.
Hiccup was left with Toothless think about the last comment his mother said, "Already found it huh well the only girl I've talked to in ages is Ast..." He stopped mid sentence before look at Toothless who coo'd happily before Hiccup looked to the horizon and simply went "Ohhh" now realising what his mother meant.
Yes yes a bit fluffy I know but I levelled it out with some threat to harm Snotlout when's that never fun.
