How to Train Your Dragon: Dragon Ambassador

How to Gain a Human's Trust

The Night Fury sat waiting for the boy to return. He had made up his mind. He didn't want to...but the dragon knew that he couldn't show the boy that dragons are good will be surrounded by dragon killers. The Night Fury sighed; the boy was risking his life to free him from this cage and he had risked a lot to run from the Devil. There was really no going back. But, the Night Fury was surprised by himself. He actually felt really guilty for what he was about to do to a human. Yes, this human was the boy that spared him...but still...

The Night Fury shook his head; his mind couldn't be clouded right now. He had to focus! He had to do this! It was for the greater good! As he sat up he heard the same footsteps coming towards him. The boy did it! The tarp was removed again. "Alright," the boy fumbled with the keys to find the correct one, "I'm gonna free you-again-but this time try to not get caught.". The Night Fury stood ready at the door; the poor boy didn't know what was about to come.

"Hey! What are you doing there Hiccup!?"

The dragon and the boy looked to see Dagur running towards them at full speed and anger. The boy quickly unlocked the door and opened it wide. "Now go! GO!" he shouted. The Night Fury opened his wings wide shot out of the cage. He grabbed the boy by his arms and flew high into the sky. The boy kicked his feet as he screamed for dear life.

"Shoot it down!" a human said.

The Night Fury looked back to see a crowd of humans firing different weapons at him. His eye caught the red beard of one man with a small helmet on his head. The helmet had very long horns that turned up. The mans face was mixed with both terror and rage. "Hiccup!" he shouted. The mans voice grew distant as the Night Fury carried the boy away. He disappeared into the clouds.

O

The Night Fury flew North. He flew so far North that his breath started to show and the sea started to freeze. The boy was breathing heavily. He was scared. The boy held onto the dragons forearms tightly as his feet dangled in the air. Finally, he worked up the courage to speak. "W-Where are you taking me!?" he asked, "I-I-I freed you! Why are you...please...put me down!".

The Night Fury sympathized with the boy; he was tired. The dragon continued to fly until he came to a seemingly deserted island. The Night Fury dropped the boy on the beach then landed himself. Suddenly the boy took off. The Night Fury roared out to him; begging him to stop. He took after the boy. He couldn't loose him now. The boy ran into the forest. He didn't know where he was running, but fear told him to run. All his life dragons raided his village. And when he was little his father told him that dragons ate his mother. He looked back to see the Night Fury chasing him. It roared at him but didn't fire.

As the chase went on the Night Fury slowly came to a stop. This wasn't working. If he was going to get the boys full trust then he could just chase him down like a hunter after their prey. He sat down and watched the boy continue to run. The boy then looked back and was stunned to see that the dragon wasn't chasing him anymore. But his legs continued to run. So the boy kept going. The Night Fury let him run. They were on an island after all; and a small one to boot. Unless this human was the worlds most amazing swimmer; he wasn't going far.

 The Night Fury thought hard. If he was going to gain the boys trust, he had to take it slow. That was something he wasn't use to! To him everything had been fast. But he had to appeal to this boy. He had to show him that he wasn't a killer. That they could be...friends. The Night Fury questioned that thought. A dragon and a human...friends!? Was that even possible? Well, if the Devil was to go down, it had to be possible. The dragon was interrupted from his thoughts when his stomach growled. Hey! That could work! Everything eats. If the Night Fury brought food to the boy that could show him that he was good. The dragon liked that idea!
