Dragons: The Viking Saga (The Prequel)

Chapter Two: After Eight Years of Despair

Mazrieth's POV

After eight years of that day... I'm starting living a new life.. Well... With my NEW family, and my half-sibling... I'm still lived peacefully with them... Although, I'm still never forget of what they've done to my family... That is why I've trained hard in order to become strong and now... Looks like I'm become a strong Viking...

Yeah, I've become strong, a blacksmith and intelligent warrior... I was once a champion of Thawfest games or any contest because I'm too strong to defeat... Maybe this might be enough to kill a dragon, although that's incomplete... I don't have a knowledge of a dragon or what if I might get killed by that for underestimating it?! Looks like I need some training to do...and that's what I'm going to do right now...

On the early of Saturday morning, I woke early to have some early exercise and preparation as I will enter the Dragon Training...but.. "Good morning to you, Maz"...My adoptive father showed up as he wakes up very early than me..

"Oh, good morning to you, Dad..." I nodded to my father.

"So..." My father looked at me and said, "Looks like you're on preparation, Maz.."

"Oh.. For what?" Oh! I forgot.. Today is a big event, eh? "Oh, you did mean about training, Dad?"

Looks like my Dad is very excited at me since I worked and trained hard to pass this training... "Your training has paid off since today is your training with new fellow Vikings, eh?" My dad said it.

"Yeah.." To be exact, my real purpose of getting trained is to kill THEM and avenge of my family's death... "I'm ready you know, Dad.. There's no need to worry me more.. That's because I've trained hard for all those years in order to become stronger...and to become a better warrior..."

"Oh.. Ever since I've found you in that island alone..I have no choice but to adopt you... But that year has already passed... You've already a fifteen year old Viking and you're a professional blacksmith, too..." He really reminded me of that past and now.. Huh!! I'm very lucky to have my father that kind...

"Tsk! Dad... You're very too abusive for me....All thanks to Steven (oh I did meant that he was the one who teach to become a blacksmith) he really teach me well and all the skills... To have a match against dragons... Well, I kinda appreciate those kind words, Dad..." He mean it, eh?

My dad impressed me.. "You've really changed, eh? Then...good luck to you, Maz..."

"Come on, Dad..." Tsk! He did showed me gratitude of 'good luck'  to me and actually it make me blush you know. for saying those words... So then.. "Yeah.. Thanks, Dad..."

Afterwards, I opened my door and says, "See you later, Dad..." And lately, I'm leaving...

After that, I'm on my way to the training arena... To have some 'killing time' training...

Few minutes then, I've finally arrived to the arena... Training hard for fighting dragons is part of my real deal here... When I arrive, they are some fellow Vikings here...

My fellow Vikings or classmate is actually a teens and more young than me I think... I counted and they were five.. They were some that I don't know who are they and looks like they we're planned to join to get a training... But suddenly, a girl with a small pigtail approached me...

"Yo! Its been a while, Mazrieth Hunter..." That girl welcomed me at the arena... And first of all, how does she know who I am? And the looks of it, I don't know her really...

"Uh? Who are you?", I asked.

"Who am I? Eh, do you really forget about me, Mazrieth Hunter??" A teen Viking really knows me but the question is.. 'Who is she?' She asked me that 'Do you forget about me?' I wanna answer that but...
