You awoke in your bed, surprisingly calm considering that you almost burnt down a village. You looked around to see Hiccup in the corner of your room, writing something in his book.

"Oh, good morning. You would not believe the nightmare I just had. I starting setting things on fire, then I jumped off a cliff. Wait....." You saw the look on Hiccups face. You now realised it wasn't a dream, you turned around and put your head face down in your pillow.

"What are you doing?" Hiccup asked.

"Suffocating myself." You replied in a muffle. You lifted your head up seconds after. "Although I don't think its working." Hiccup chuckled at your antics as you got up and moved closer to him.

"What am I gonna do?" You asked him as he stood up.

"What are we going to do" He corrected you. "At this point, I'm not sure, we'll just have to start with trying to control it. Then we'll go from there." He explained putting his hands on your face.

"When do I start?" You asked him.

"Now!" Gobber said bursting through the door.

"Gobber-" You said protesting his actions.

"Get dressed, and get to the arena." He said, then walked out. You and Hiccup started laughing. Hiccup left of the arena not long after Gobber.

You had gotten dressed and proceeded to the arena. Unfortunately, you received lots of unhappy stare. Word must've gotten out. Snarky remarks were made, children were moved back as you walked past, and people definitely kept their distance. You made it to the arena and saw Gobber with the other dragon riders.

"Okay, I told everybody everything." Hiccup told you.

"Thanks." You said.

Unlike everybody else in the village, the dragon riders were as welcoming as anyone could be.

"What's your firepower like ?" Fishlegs asked eagerly.

"Uhhhh, -12?" You responded with a shrug.

The twins came towards you with a large stick and poked your arm. You looked at them and they screamed. You just sighed knowing that their natural dickheads and you shouldn't be offended by it.

"So, eh-. Do something." Gobber said awkwardly.

You picked up the stick the twins poked you with, you just kinda held it.

"Try squeezing it." Fishlegs suggested. You sighed and began squeezing it.

"Yeah, nothing." You said dropping the stick.

"What triggered it yesterday?" I voice from behind you asked. You turned to see it was Valka.

"Oh, I don't know." You responded.

"Heat is usually related to anger. What if we made you angry?" Astrid suggested.

"Good idea." Valka said with a smile.

"Uhhh, yeah, that could possible work." Hiccup said, walking towards you. "Uh- Make me a sandwich, bitch." You couldn't keep a straight face, you started laughing your head off. He just sighed and walked away.

"Okay, well insulting her doesn't work." He said to Valka.

"It should've been you." Astrid said.

"What?" You head swiftly turned to her direction.

"You mother died after she gave birth to you, maybe you should've died instead. Then at least you dad might be happy." She continued.

"That wasn't my fault, and you know that." You responded.

"Maybe we should've let you die during the fight too. We wouldn't be in this mess now." The tension between the to of you grew. "Kill yourself." She finished.

"Kill yourself." You said back, mocking her. "I'm not stupid, also that was a shitty comeback, you sound like a cringe 12 year old."

You stared at each other for a couple seconds after until Astrid broke out in a laugh and you did too. She came up and hugged you.

"I'm sorry." She said between laughs.

"Your a bitch." You laughed to her.

"Right....That didn't work." Valka said.

You all stood there for a couple seconds until D/N came up to you. He tripped you with his tail, and you hit your head on the stone beneath you.

"Ow." You slowly got up and saw that he had something in his mouth. Your shoe.

"Give me my shoe back." You got up and started walking over to him. He started walking away. "D/N!" you started running after him, he was smart about this and flew up and started hanging upside down from the chains above. "Haha, very funny!" You yelled up towards him. You yelled at him more but he wasn't coming down. So, you tried something else, if he wasn't coming to you, you'd have to go to him.

You walked to the wooden weapon stand and climbed it, hoping you could reach the chain netting but it was far too high. You saw rope on the ground nearby, so you scooted down the stand and grabbed the rope, at first you weren't sure what your plan was but you grabbed your spear and tied the rope around the end. You threw it up and threw the gaps in the chain netting and positioned it with the rope to make sure it wouldn't comeback back through. Using this you started to climb the wall, you managed to get hold of the netting and started climbing up it.

"Y/N!" Astrid yelled as she saw what you were doing.

"Get down!" Hiccup yelled after.

"Don't worry! I'll be fine!" You reassured them but they didn't feel any better.

Climbing was too hard until you got closer to the top. D/N was right in the middle, at the highest point and the higher you went, the hard it was to climb. You weren't doing too bad until you hand slipped.

"Holy shit!" You yelled, you managed to get your grip back, but then realised how high you really were. If you fell, you'd die and fire wouldn't save you in this scenario. Your hands got sweatier, you tried to move more but you kept slipping.

"I think I'm gonna fall!" You yelled down towards the group.

"Then you shouldn't have gotten up there in the first place!" Valka yelled back.

You looked to D/N who was staring at you.

"Please." You said, only loud enough for him to hear.

You moved your hand to the next part you could grip to, and slipped. You began falling but you were immediately caught by D/N. He dropped you on the ground in a way of saying 'go fuck yourself' which you probably deserved.

"Y/N are you okay !?" Hiccup yelled.

"It's not like I got hurt or anything. It's not that big of a deal." You responded with a laugh.

"Okay well, we've had no progress today. I think tomorrow me and you should do some one-on-one training." Valka said to you.
