Dragons : The Dragon Hunt

85. Gaining Trust (Part 1)

"TOOTHLESS!", I screamed, as my face flooded in joy and happiness as I saw the dragon, it was the mighty Night Fury, Toothless. He is alive! I can't believe it, he is alive! After a thousand years of preserving, he is alive! The almighty king of dragons is alive, praise the gods above! Tears of joy flooded through my cheeks, as I saw Night Fury in my own eyes, and it gets more because, the full grown Night Lights and the Light Fury. As I finally stood up and wiped my tears using my hand pads. I still can't hold my tears back because of the ecstasy of excitement that flooded in my face as I saw the dragons that was still alive. Even the almighty Toothless that had been found by the famous Hiccup Haddock the Third. The gang went towards me and Dusty hugs me, as Dusty hugged me, I released more tears on his shoulder, making his shirt wet. I finally stopped tearing up as I wiped my face again with my end sleeve, I took a heavy breath and finally looked again at Toothless. I was just mesmerized by the looks of the Night Fury's family, mostly Toothless, who is literally bigger than me at some point. The Light Fury, who was the mate of Toothless, was still the same size as if she was on the Viking Age. Not to mention, the adorable Night Lights, who grown a lot bigger since they were hatchlings, they were a little bit smaller from their dad, but they harnessed the powers and abilities from their parents. They were so adorable that you could even squeeze the Night Light's chin so hardly until they bite your head off, seriously, they are adorable. But I still don't know if they still had their naughtiness in their bodies, even Ruffrunner, or as to call myself, Ruffy.

I stared at them again and looked on the cell that they were being preserved in, they were floating moderately in a liquid type mixture that must be preserving them. There were also some kind of oxygen connectors that had been connected towards their snout and mouth, like a rebreather. They had been here, for about a thousand years already! I hope they are still alive and well after a millennia of floating on these 'waters'. As King Reuben finally stood in front of us and finally spoke to us.

"You okay Dennis?", King Reuben asked, looking at me, as I nodded at him and continued to speak, "Well, are you sure? You had been tearing in pure joy and ecstasy. Well, I see that you have finally saw the King of Dragons, Toothless the alpha!", King Reuben roared, motioning his hand to the dragons inside the preservation area. I only chuckled at him as he said that, as I smiled at him and walked towards the wall slowly. As I finally was in front of the transparent fiber-glass wall, I stared at every one of the family, I smiled proudly at them as another tear rolled down on my cheeks slowly, making a steady trail. I placed my hand on the wall slowly spreading my fingers apart, as I tried to open my mouth and spoke a word at them, even though they are in hibernation preservation. As I took a breath and another tear drips down my left cheek, making to steady trails of tears on my face. The gang smiled at me proudly as I did this, as I finally spoke at the Fury family.

"Don't worry Toothless, you will be free again, I will make sure of that, I promise", I whispered at them, my voice barely trembling. As I took several steps forward and rested my head on the glass wall, releasing more tears. Dusty walked to me slowly, as he put his right hand to my shoulder, I looked at him shyly, as I still released more tears on my face, still crying about them.

"Hey Dennis, it's okay bud, they are alive", Dusty said gently, as he took several step forward and patted my shoulder, he looked at Toothless too, as he placed his hand on the glass wall, spreading his fingers also, he smiled at the hibernating dragons inside. As he took a breath and finally spoke at me, I was still crying that time, but I was now staring at the dragons again.

"Don't worry Dennis, they will be safe, we are on a world that no one is harming those magnificent creatures. You will be the next dragon master of the Earth", He whispered, looking at me, as I wiped my tears again with the end of my sleeve and looked at him back. Me, will be the next dragon master? He must be joking, first of all, I don't know how to ride a flying reptile; second, I don't even know if I could stomach the somersaults and other types of spins that Toothless will do; and finally, I didn't even ride a dragon before, so that leaves me unfamiliar with every moves with the dragons or even what they do. So I am totally not will be the next dragon rider after Hiccup. I chuckled at Dusty softly as I finally spoke at him.
