Dragon Teens

Gliding

HICCUP
I flap my wings, trying to use my tail to improve my flight.

I manage to open the fins, and I begin to fly Night Fury style.
My body shoots forward.

I scream, tail fins causing me to swerve left and right.

Then, I balance out.
My tail settles, and I continue my quick pace.
I do a loop.

I decide to glide to Astrid, a grin on my face.
I cry, "Isn't this amazing?"
She snaps, "This is your fault! How is this amazing? Rejected by out own village!"
She pushes my wing up, and sends me into Toothless.

I sigh, "Why don't they see how cool this is?"
Toothless glares, and snaps at me.

I dodge his teeth.
I fly to the Nightmare, trying to get an answer.

He whispers, "Something inside them isn't right. They were not to be bitten. We will fix that at the den. Their dragons will run them home. This will all be a very vivid dream to them..."

I nod.
Then, Fishlegs struggles over.

He screams, "THIS IS AMAZING!"

Then, he gets pulled away by the angry Gronkle.

The Nightmare sighs, "Except him. Classic Gronkle. Odd and... that."
He waves with a talon.

I almost ask why, when a huge mountain looms into view.

My wings suddenly ache.
My tail fins help keep me up.
I glide after the Nightmare, right into it.

Then, I realize this is no mountain.

It's an Alpha nest.
All I see is a beautiful dragon.
Her body is silvery, and her wings are huge.

Her nose has a horn out of it, but that doesn't subtract from the dragons' beauty.

She looks to me, and giggles.
The Nightmare sighs, "That's the one and only Silver Phantom, our Alpha. We used to have a Bewilderbeast, but it was taken by Drago Bloodvist. She too has a rider like you. Also, I have a confession..."
I look to him.

He sighs, "There are no other Night Furies. Toothless is the last one anywhere from here to America. We believe that one may be resting her wings in the cliffs between Hysteria and Villany, or maybe beyond the Ugli-Thug Stavelands.... we cannot be sure. We do know that, however, there are no other riders of Night Furies. I was hopping to set you up with The Silver Phantom rider, however. The elders will need to approve first, if you do fancy her."

I nod, and ask, "Where is she?"
A girl with white wings zooms up.
The Nightmare chirps, "There. Camicazi, meet Hiccup."
She breaths, "Night Fury."

Everything stops.
Everyone turns our way, and a few dragons whistle in surprise.

Toothless looks at me, and rolls his eyes.
He keeps flying, as do the others who happen to hate me.

Fishlegs bubbles over, and stares at something over in the masses.
I glance around, and see hoards of riders like me.... kind of.

They have wings and tails like the mounts they ride.
I look to the girl, and grin.

She comments, "Ah, you noticed. I figured a smart rider would notice the sheer number we hold, not storms away. Let me guess, angry at you for changing them?"

I nod.

The Nightmare speaks of his plans, and the reason for the rash decisions.
Camicazi nods, and growls, "Silver?"
The dragon flies over, her spikes displaying her fierceness.

Silver purrs, "Who is this young man, Camicazi? You know you should run your interests by the elders."

Camicazi turns red, and speaks of what she was told.

Silver becomes darker, and tells me to round up the ones who disliked the dragon forms.

I flap faster, and find something shocking.

Only one person did not want to be a dragon.
Astrid.

I lead her to Silver, even though she curses me to not Valhalla... if you get my drift.

She stops dead when she sees the angry dragon steaming her way.

She panics.
I feel something happening to my human side, but take no notice.

Then, I decide to take notice.
My arms are coated in black scales.

Astrid fights me, screaming about that same topic.
I hand her to Silver, who takes Astrid off to some side cave.

No one follows but her rider.

A loud scream sends me reeling.

A normal girl is returned to me.
I take her in my hands, and call to Toothless.
Camicazi demands she comes too.

I slip onto my dragon, who seems happy now.
He purrs, "Sorry. I got a little hungry. Now, let's remove this menace."
Toothless roars.

Then, a woman stops us.

She has four wings, and a tail with fins.

However, she lacks hands.

She flies to me, and asks Toothless, "Where was this boy? What island?"

He snaps, "Berk."
The woman cries, "Is it... could it be...?"

I ask, "Should I know you?"
She sighs, "No. You were only a babe, but a mother never forgets."

Camicazi stops, as does the entire mob of dragons.

Camicazi comments, "You are the son of my head advisor and elder. I... I'm shocked. I now have no choice but to accompany you to the nest to return this killer."

I nod, and we begin to fly.

Unfortunately, a Silver Phantom and a Night Fury aren't taken well on an Isle like Berk..,
