Part 1: the reaping

I wake up in darkness. Natalie must be getting some food. I am all alone. I might go to see if Hiccup is ok. I might make him breakfast. I go out to the forests to see if all the dragons are ok. I have a stair case that takes me to the forests. But, I need a dragon to get out of my house. I walk down the stair case. All the dragons are ok. I call Diamond. She comes to help me down.

I walk to Hiccup's house. I walk inside. Astrid ia cooking breakfast, but Hiccup isn't here. Neither is Raven. Must be dragon-races. "Hi Reece!" Astrid says.

"Hi" I say back.

"Scared about the reaping?"

"Yes"

"Why, your name is only in 4 times"

"Valka gave me 34 more"

"38 peices of paper with your name in that one bowl"

"Yup"

"Well, there is a fifty-fifty chance you will get picked"

"I hope not"

"Well, if you do get picked, you have an advantage!"

"How?"

"I heard that" she gestured for me to come closer "that the tributes dragons will be allowed in the games"

"It makes me feel a little better, thanks, but, Diamond is kinda over-protective of me"

"I promise I won't be if you get chosen!" Says Diamond, in dragonese.

"Ok" I say back.

The bells. The reaping is soon to start. I walk over there. I see Natalie in chains. She puts that on her to try to calm herself. She can turn into a Screaming Death. I walk into one of the lines. Raven gets in line behind me. "Who do you think they'll pull out of the bowls?" She says.

"I hope not me. How was the races?" I ask.

"Perfect"

"You won"

"Like always!" I get to the front of the line.

"Does is hurt" I ask. The lady doesn't answer. She grabs me hand, pulls it out, and stabbs one of my fingers. I hold in a scream. She then grabbed my finger and pushed the blood on a slip of paper. She then pushes me away. I give her a dirty look, and walked to the town square.

I saw a stage, and Hiccup was on it. This might get intense. Raven comes out of line. "I hate that lady" she says. I nod my head. Then, some residents of the rich land, they call 'the capitol', come over and say that we need to seperate, unless the cheif says so. We just nodded and walked away into the different gender sides. Once everyone is in, Hiccup walks to the middle of the stage.

"Alright, alright, calm down! Calm down! I know you are all worried if you will be picked! But, only 2 can be chosen! Now, Valka Haddock is going to be pulling out the slips with one of your names on it. Can you please welcome VALKA HADDOCK ONTO THE STAGE!" Valka looks up with a surprised look on her face. Then she sighs, and walks up onto the stage. She has a ridiculously large pink wig.

"Welcome to the 1st annual Dragon-Games! Now, just to make it fair, I will pull out a name from both of the bowls at the same time!" Valka shouts. Two men come up onto the stage with two large bowls. They put the bowls on the table in front of Valka. "Alright, now for the reaping!" Valka puts her hand in the bowl. "And the tributes for Berk are...

Reece and Raven!"
