Spirit of the Dragon

Chapter 3

It was a week before Hiccup told Jack it was time to start training. During the week, Jack was free to explore the island. There were dragons of all kinds on the island. One had four heads and another had changed color with mood. The dragon that interested Jack the most was one that looked exactly like Hiccup in his dragon form (A Nightfury as Jack was later informed). The only difference between the Hiccup and the other dragon was that Hiccup was auburn and the other dragon was as dark as night

It was someone before Hiccup informed him that the dragon in question was named Toothless. Jack asked why he had such a ridiculous name and was told about the first time Toothless and Hiccup met. He was told about how the two weren't always the closest and what changed. Hiccup explained the dragon training and his father. Hiccup even told him how he ended up losing his leg.

"Is there more to this story?" Jack asked with interest.

Hiccup chuckled and said, "you'll find out later in training."

"Okay, but when does the training start anyway?"

"It's been six days, so how about we start tomorrow?"

"Yes!"

"I'm glad that you're excited."

Next day:

"Jack, wake up! We start training today and we need to get going." Hiccup yelled at Jack and walked off. Jack fell out of a tree that he had been sleeping in. He ended up landing on a Snappertrap, it nipped at him and walked away.

Jack rubbed his head and raced off to catch up to Hiccup. "Hiccup, what are we doing today?"

"We're going to teach you how to fly today."

"Cool!"

Hiccup turned away and started to prepare Toothless for a flight. He put on a false tail and a saddle. After he was done he told Jack to get on. They flew for some time until they were hovering over a cover with a large pond and a beautiful waterfall.

"How exactly am I find learn to fly?" asked Jack.

As Jack glanced at Hiccup, he saw Hiccup gesture at Toothless and suddenly he was falling towards the lake from a hundred feet. He decided to do the reasonable thing and screamed while bracing himself for the crash. His mind quickly went black and then he wasn't falling anymore, he was floating.

"What just happened?" He glanced at Hiccup, confused as hell.

"You just learned how to fly? You don't think when you fly properly. I noticed it over the week." Hiccup said nonchalantly.

"Oh and you dropped me instead of telling me is why?"

"Because learning through experience instead of through listening is always the best. Plus I was ready to save you at any moments notice."

"Thank you so much." Jack's voice dripped with sarcasm.
