Dragons: The Viking Saga (The Prequel)

Chapter Eighteen: The Hideous Zippleback

MAZRIETH'S POV

While I going back towards the village, I've begun to see a big tree with a Terrible Terror sitting at the branches and stared at me...But the rising sun is my chase, I decided to continued to run in order to reach Krell without any suspicion...

'I hope no one noticed me...'

Few seconds later, I finally return to the village...safely and secretly... Instead of returning back home, I'm moving forward and directly to the training arena... But, I have something that I've hidden on my satchel...which is...

FLASHBACK..

When the Razorwhip eats fishes and sea slugs... There was something I discovered that the Razorwhip dislikes eels... Why? Well... I don't know... When I picked the smoked eel and letting the Razorwhip sees it...thinking that the dragon really likes that...but eventually not at all... The Razorwhip whipped the eel out of its sight and growled at my face...

Afterwards, when the dragon continued eating, I secretly picked the eel and put on my satchel as I gonna used it for today's training... Are they disliked for this eel? Or are they afraid of eating eels? Wait, are they allergic of eels??

Looks like I'm gonna find out about this...

FLASHBACK ENDS...

"I hope that this might be useful for this training..."

Until the time I arrived at the arena, everyone now has assembled...With my approach, everybody turned their eyes on me and looking... Camicazi then comes forth to me with saying, "Hello, Mazrieth... Good morning..."

"Good morning to you, Camicazi..." 

Instead of continuing chatting with her, I've turned my eyes against her and avoid her...and let myself sitting on the chair... While everyone are now busy talking, I've put my satchel away and pick the eel and put it on my body strap of my sword...

And then, Steven the Blacksmith and Caitlin the Ranger are now appeared at the training arena...

"Attention!!"

Caitlin yelled and everyone now including me are assembling and formed a horizontal line...and Steven are now standing in the front of us...

"Good morning to you, young warriors..." Steven greeted us with a smile and a simple word of saying 'Good morning'.

"Yeah, right..." Ivory rolled her eyes. "Good morning to you too.."

"And...good morning to you, Mazrieth Hunter, my fellow apprentice..." Steven continued.

"Oh, hi... Uh, Steven... Uh.. Good morning to you...then..." I chucked.

'Fellow apprentice? Hey, why did you said that word to them??'

"Looks like everybody is very prepared since today is the day where this time we'll decide which of you..." Steven paused.

"Huh?? Decide?? About what??" I asked myself.

But suddenly, Silver is the person at the left while Camicazi at right side of me, Silver hears about what I've said and his attention really caught me up, "Huh, did you forget what Caitlin said??"

"Huh?? What the hell are you talking about??" Since I don't know what he meant, I asked about it...

"Did you forget that I'm not here yesterday??"

Silver replies, "Oh sorry... You're not here, right... Sorry, I completely forgot..." And then, he turned his eyes away.

"Oh that, Maz... Uh... Yesterday, everybody now is probably prepared because this day...um...is the day the everybody hoping for... Uh??" Camicazi said.
