Fall From Grace: Dart's Pain

Chapter 2: A Misadventure (Part 1)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dart took off in no particular direction; he didn't know where he was going to go, but knew he was going to have a small adventure all by himself. He eventually decided to explore the deeper parts of the Hidden World. Diving down he flew into a small cave system full of lush vines and other underground plants. He made a mental note of this space to use it as a secrete place for himself to get away to and be alone. As Dart continued flying through the lush cave, he found a cavern that split off from the main tunnel which opened into the pit of a volcano. This was actually the volcano where the Monstrous Nightmares live. Dart was surprised the no of them had found this small cavern, but he was grateful to have his own little place.

Then Dart got an idea; it was a sneaky idea and would be such a fun prank. Thinking about how to execute it, Dart began planning the joke. He decided to wait till most of the Monstrous Nightmares were in the lava before sending a small plasma blast into it which would cause a small explosion. Now that Dart had his plan, all he had to do was wait for the Nightmares to get in the lava below.

As Ruffrunner and Toothless flew to their first stop, they started discussing what other responsibilities being Alpha will entail and some lesser things that are important for an Alpha to know.

"Now, of all the things I've taught you so far there are still a few things you need to know" Toothless said. "While its important to look after your subjects as a whole, you also need to look out for them on a personal level. Even if its a simple as helping them carry a few fish to their family, you need to gain that personal relationship with them."

"So, it's like looking out for your friends?" Ruffrunner asked.

"It's exactly like that Ruffrunner," Toothless replied. "You have to been there for the dragons that need help, even when they make poor choices"

"Oh, so like keeping an eye on Dart, and making sure he doesn't do anything stupid!" Ruffrunner said.

"Ruffrunner! That is not a nice thing to say behind your brother's back. However, you are correct." Toothless answered. "And once you are Alpha it will be your job to look after your siblings too. Especially your brother. While it is true that Dart does make poor choices, we are family and we look out for each other."

"I understand, Father." Ruffrunner replied.

"Good. Now we better keep moving, we have a lot to do today," Toothless said as he picked up speed.

"Right," Ruffrunner said as he sped up to keep pace with his father.

While Toothless and Ruffrunner discussed responsibilities for being Alpha, Luna and Pouncer were also discussing the responsibilities for being the leader of the Defenders.

"Now, Pouncer, even though today you will start combat training, I need to remind you of the most important part of being the leader of the Defenders," Luna said as they flew though the Hidden World.

"And what is that, Mother?" Pouncer asked.

"Remember, as leader of the Defenders the whole Hidden World will be relying on you for help and safety. So it's very important to remember that no matter how small or inconvenient the issue is, it's your job to help. And believe me when I say, some dragons make choices that get very annoying because, most of the time, you will have to help them almost every day" Luna explained.
