Goblin

Epilogue

"Heather! Goblin! Wake up!"

Heather let out a groan of dismay as she tried to hide further into her blankets and pillows, but Goblin was much more ready for the day and as soon as his human's mother called he was already stretching out his wings, letting out a big yawn, before glancing at Heather and purring softly.

"Mmmm... Five more minutes..." Heather groaned, but wasn't prepared when Goblin grabbed her blanket and pulled it off her, growling gently.

"Goblin!" Heather snapped sleepily, curling up into a tighter ball and covering her head with her pillow.

Goblin shook his head in dismay, and charged up the tiniest bit of electricity in his scales as he gently touched Heater's arm with the tip of his nose. Heather jumped out of bed at the feeling of the electricity running through her body, her hair even puffing out like cotton candy. Once she came back to her senses she glared at her dragon in dismay. "Goblin! That wasn't necessary!"

Goblin snickered and headed out for the window to go and see his mate and offspring. Heather sighed and got dressed, while trying to fix her hair. When she was done, she rushed downstairs and, after having breakfast with her parents, went outside with a bucket of mutton. Goblin was already there, anxiously waiting for his meal, his hatchlings in tow. Heather hadn't even approached when the hatchlings swarmed over her, letting out squeals and croons, flapping their wings wildly.

"Okay, okay, I got it." Heather laughed at the hatchlings' enthusiasm, and poured the mutton in front of the dragons. Goblin managed to snatch two legs of mutton before his hatchlings ate it all.

"Hey, Heather!" just then Astrid flew overhead on Stormfly, circling around the house. "We're going to have another race, wanna join in?!"

Heather glanced at Goblin, grinning. "What do you say, Gob? How about we win some races?"

Goblin let out a small growl of delight. Heather climbed unto the dragon's back, and he took off with a powerful flap of his wings. They flew over the village, and were soon joined by the other riders. Goblin and Toothless shared an excited roar, while the Skrill twirled around in the air, doing some acrobatics with Heather in tow, she laughed all the while.

He had to admit, this was never the life he expected to have, but he wouldn't have it any other way.
