Heart Of Dragons

...5...

The night had fallen a while ago. Currently it was 3:14 in the morning and I was wide awake. To be honest I hadn't even fallen asleep. I was still struggling to do so but something was troubling me so I couldn't. But the thing is - I have no idea what is troubling me.

Somehow my trail of thoughts fell upon our discovery before we were going to sleep.

When we had started to divide beds to know who would sleep in which one, we, in the process of doing so, had found a note on the table.

I remember Hlif calling us to our attention when she saw it. She had picked it up and read it:

"Dear, students.

I have a few things to say before your real study time starts here.

First thing is that you don't need to bring anything from your home/previous dorm because all you need is already here - academy uniform, training uniform/armor and of course books for studying. You can find all these things around the room.

Second of all, I will tell this only to you. You gathered your five points because of Skurs bravery. She got the courage to speak up. Yes, I know that I am scary.

Thirdly, I recommend for all of you to go to our Academy's library for bonus materials and books for better and clearer knowledge about dragons. Of course the main materials which aren't in your books are already placed in your personal bookshelf under the table.

And most importantly, your first lesson will start tomorrow morning at 9:00. Please be ready on time and don't come late. Your class will be in the main building on the second floor. You will know where to go next.

Best wishes,

Ingeltore"

I remembered checking the closet and seeing that it really was divided by six parts in which were placed both neat uniforms and a few extra pairs of clothing with two pairs of sneakers for each student. "How did they even know our size." I had mumbled under my breath. And to think of it it really is a great question cause I don't remember giving that information to anyone and neither did any of the others.

When we had checked the stuff that was written about in the note I had shouted, "Guys!?" to bring others attention for a brief moment.

"What?" Hlif had answered in return.

"I'm taking the second floor bunk bed at the window. Since I won't bring personal stuff I won't need the space under the bed to put it."

"Okay." Aerinmus said.

Joreid shouted then, "Then I take the space under Skur!"

"Fine, fine." Aerinmus, Hlif and Bolverk said in unison while Gnupa was still looking around in silence.

I hadn't cared anymore what they were talking about so I climbed up to my space with the hopes of falling asleep. But as you know to no avail since I'm still awake...

Please, just sleep. You will regret this later - and you know it. You will need you mind working at full speed tomorrow. Why aren't you tired Skur? Ha? Why?

Gosh... my mind just won't shut up. It's like an infinite game of me and my thoughts bickering at one another which is funny cause it means that my brain is attacking my brain.

I decided to try to think about my most favorite dragon in hopes of falling asleep that way. My personal one from home which my parents had given me on my twelfth birthday. I convinced my dad for him to take it here so my dragon would be the one I train on. The one who trusts me to the end even thou it already does. I just don't know what it thinks about me riding it yet.

My dragons name is Reizzo. Her name in viking mythology means - the warrior - and hell is she a one. My parents had found her left alone in the forest when she was really young. So they decided to gift it to me cause they knew that with my mentality I would help it to heal. In the end we had made a bond noone had predicted to me made. You could say she is my best friend.

Reizzo is a middle sized black dragon with blood red detailing on ears and wings. She is a one of a kind. She's really strong, fast, reliable and most importantly - she focuses on her tasks on maximum. Sounds almost like me, maybe that's because I had raised her after all.

Her being here means that I won't have to go to the training grounds for trust training. I will be able to spend more time on important tricks section. Like finding out what is the fastest way to get on her, many dangerous spins and other similar things.

I will show everyone that I am the best and Reizzo will help me with that.

Because I'm not just a viking wishing to be a dragon rider.

I am a dragon because I have a mind just like them... I have a heart like them.
