The shouts of Vikings and the roars of dragons resounded around me, seeming distant and faint as I focused on the sky. "Come on, give me something to shoot at." I repeated these words like a mantra under my breath. Suddenly, a plasma bolt hit a tower. The dragon responsible swooped out of sight, its black shape momentarily visible against the star-studded sky. I yanked on the trigger, aiming for the creature above.
"CRACK!" I fired at the beast. Expecting to miss, I was surprised when I saw the dragon's distant silhouette tumble from the sky. I stood in shocked silence for a moment. Then the reality hit. "Yes!" I cheered, jumping up and down in joy. I had hit a dragon! And not just any dragon. That blast, that dark barely-visible shadow, could only be one. I had shot down a Night Fury. "Did anybody see that?" I called into the darkness. The only reply was a Monstrous Nightmare's flame nearly torching me. "Except for you..." I muttered, turning on my heel and running for my life.
The Nightmare chased me through the village, trying to turn me into a crisp. I took refuge behind a pole, shaking in terror as the dragon's flaming breath baked the moisture from my body. Just as it seemed like I was doomed, my father attacked. He brought the Nightmare down in seconds before turning to stare disapprovingly at me. He opened his mouth, no doubt to tell me how stupid my actions were, when the pole fell. I winced with every crash as the top rolled through the village.
I looked up at my father. "I know that was bad, but at least I shot a Night Fury!"
I should have known he'd never believe me.
