Heart and Mind - How To Train Your Dragon

Chapter 5

I woke up and went to Toothless's place to leave him food and go on an early morning flight, during which I could think a lot.  Even the matter with my father and training, I really don't know what to do, I screamed in frustration.

- AHHHH - Toothless looked at me sadly - I'm fine, Toothless, we should go back, I'll start training soon

We returned to the bay and I quickly went to training.  I got in perfectly on time, today it was time for gnockle.  We started "training".  Of course, the dragon never attacked me, which could cause misunderstanding by others, so to avoid being recognized, I whispered to the gnome so that it would hit me.  He did this with great reluctance, but I thanked him for it, took him to the cage and told him I would bring them food later.  When I closed the door and turned around, as usual, everyone was surprised.  Ehhh, I've gotten used to it, honestly.

- What ghost did you see - I said and left

I went to the forge to think about new projects.  After 3 hours, I was so bored that I kept tossing and catching the coal until I heard someone coming in and turned around and saw my father.  To say I was surprised is an understatement, why in Thor's name is he here.

- Ohh hello dad, are you back already?  But great, that's the one - I said nervously

- we need to talk about you and dragons - he said, and I held my breath for a moment.  Oh no and how does he know about Toothless no no no.

- yes, dad, I wanted to tell you but - I didn't finish because I was interrupted by laughter

- I was already afraid that you wouldn't stop being such a scoundrel - he said and I felt sorry that he called me that, of course I didn't show it.  Sure, I'm used to him calling me the worst names, but it always hurts - since you're doing well in the training, we can finally talk.

He scooted closer to me, but I remained silent, why does he suddenly want to talk to me after so many years because I'm doing well in the training?  Well, sorry, but no, thanks.

- Your mother would like you to have this - he handed me the helmet

- oh wow, thanks - I said

- it was made from your mother's breastplate, I have another one - he tapped on the helmet - I immediately withdrew my hand from the helmet and laughed nervously.

- Well, I guess I'll go to sleep now - I said and yawned to avoid being recognized

- yes, you're right, see you later - he said and left, and I was relieved that he finally went, because why did he suddenly want to talk to his son?  As if he hadn't ignored me before.  After 10 minutes, I went to the arena to give the dragon the promised food.  I went home and luckily my father wasn't home, so I went to bed and went to the land of Morpheus.

I'm sorry that there was no chapter for so long.  I hope you like it, in two chapters the action will develop and we will see what will happen during the final exam in the training.  Are you curious?
