Dragons: The Viking Saga (The Prequel)

Chapter Thirty: Friendship Can Change Everything

Mazrieth's POV

I woke early as I could. As of today, it's a time for the valedictorian to show its skills on the arena and to kill a dragon... The Final Training... I prepared everything...my things, my own appearance to be honest.. But most of all, just a dagger on my satchel. Just in case...

"Morning, Krellian!"

I got out from my household and showed something surprising when I open the door. It was..

"Hey!"

A man appeared with the other Vikings, standing at front of me... It was Jaden...

"Hey Jaden? Morning?", I greeted him.

"You're ready?", he asked.

"Yes I am."

"Good. Now everyone, make a way to Mazrieth...", he said to them. But as I started to walk, Jaden suddenly kissed my cheeks. "Good luck.."

"EHH?!" Instead of getting mad, I ended up frustrated and blushed. "What's that for?", I asked bluntly.

"Nothing. It's a good luck charm, Mazrieth..", he smiled lightly. "Anyway, good luck!" Until he walked away.

"Bye? I guess?", I waved my hand awkwardly. But the blush on my face didn't remove out from my face. Goddammit!

"Maz..", came out of blue, a sudden voice called me. "Mazrieth..."

I turned my back and I saw Camicazi looking at me. "Camicazi? What are you doing here?"

"Nothing at all... Just checking on you, Maz..", she replied. She turned her head towards the crowded people surrounded me. "Can't you get some manners of excuses?!"

"Make a way for her..."

Some of them nodded and walked out from blocking her way but some others simply stepped out from gathering. That's weird...

"Thank you, Camicazi...", I thanked her with a bow.

"You're welcome...and...good luck!", Camicazi offers a high five with her right hand raising. "High five?"

"Uh? High five...", then my left hand does the same and crashing our hands together. "I'll be fine...and by the way... I'm gonna do it..."

"Do it what?", Camicazi questioned.

"Well... The hand thing...", I pleaded with my smile at her. "You know...taming dragons?"

"Eh?"

"I mean training dragons...", I whispered at her ears.

"What?!"

Of all the sudden, Camicazi yelled loudly. Making all people looked at us with their blanked expression. 

"Shhh! Cami.. They can hear you..."

"Oh...", Camicazi turn her head side to side and looks back at me. "Sorry... But..", she paused.

"Be careful okay?"

I was surprised to see how Camicazi looked so worried and happy about me. Well, I guess I've changed her... Ah well...

"Thanks.. And don't worry... I'm ready to risk it all, right?", I raised my thumb from my left hand. "Because I am your friend...and your ally..."

Camicazi's cheek turned red and smiles back at me. "Yeah.. Just do your thing and you'll be fine..."

"Oh I will! See ya!" Then I waved at Camicazi and starts to run towards the arena. I can hear Camicazi says 'Bye...'

I galloped fast with my own legs as fast as I could in order to reach my destination. As I ran, I can hear a loud drum noises and some trumpets all over my ears. "It's from the arena, eh?" With all my might, I skipped from the road through jumping to the rooftop and there, I run.

I dashed and jumped nonstop to the rooftop and lands safely at the ground. And within five minutes after, I finally arrived. 

"Finally!"

"Mazrieth..", someone called me again. 

"Oh...", I looked to the person who called me and it turns out to be... Caitlin and Steven. "Caitlin! Steven? Um, hey guys?"

"What's with that sloppy thing, Mazrieth? Get a grip!", Caitlin said with a low growl.

"I know..", I sighed a little. "Although I--..." Before I continued, Steven shook his head and laughed at me.

"Nervous again?", Steven chuckled. 

"No I---..."

Yeah, I was actually nervous...

"Come on, Mazrieth.. You're gonna be proud like your dad.. Just remain calm...and good luck..", Steven widen his smile and pats my shoulder.

"Thanks, Steven..."

"You're gonna be fine, Maz...", Caitlin said. "And don't be a failure for this.."

"I will...", I nodded.

Then, I walked out from them and stared at my right hand when I reminded again when I trained Flare for the first time. 

FLASHBACK

Before anything... I tried to kill that Razorwhip... I tried... But, I ended up surrendering my knees down at the dragon.. I have fear against them... Because they're the one who killed my parents.. My real parents...

One day, that Razorhwhip saved me, twice.. First, without her wings...there is impossible for me to get out from the landslide alive... And second, that Razorwhip protected me....

Until that day again....I felt awkward when I bonded with her...but, this is how I understand about them... For the first time in my life, I tamed...dragons... And I named it... Flare..

END OF FLASHBACK

Dragons are very dangerous for them..but for me... They're special..

Even though, they're deadly.. By taming them, I can provide friendship and peace with dragons... There is much possibility that Krell has a better future without war.. I guess...

"It is time!!", a sound can be heard as the metal gates we're opened and the cheering grew louder. 

"Should I?", I asked myself either to train or kill it. 

But I think it is time to see everyone that they're wrong about dragons... However, there is consequences of that... Although, I must remember that...everything must be changed for good with these hands of trust...

Flare and I... All I can say is...

Trust is all I need to prove that friendship can change everything...
