chapter six: The Little Viking

Strikers (it's Toothless, in case you haven't figured that out. But I'm sure you have.) POV.

As I lay there, bound in the viking contraption, I start feeling..... I don't know, different.

Queen? Why can't I hear you. I say in my mind, as that's always how I've always been able to communicate to her. I receive no reply.
What's going on?
The string between us is completely gone.
Your...your majesty?
I feel, I don't know, free, in a way.

Suddenly, my breath is knocked out of me as I get an intense flashback.
------------
"Mummy!" I cry, watching my mum be summoned to the big bunch of dust gathered in the huge hole.
"Run, little one. The queen is evil. Run as far as you can!" she replies, stopping.
What, no!
"I no wanna leave you!" I cry as she moves again, about to be directly above the fog. The control is getting harder to ignore for her.
"Go, darling. Run!" she replies. I scurry off obediently.
Mummy.....
Suddenly I hear a very scary roar so I turn back to see my mum be eaten by the big dragon.
NO! MUM! MUMMY, COME BACK!
"GET THAT HATCHLING!"
I let put a cry of surprise and run for the exit, but my 6 year old legs can only carry me so far before a dragon scoops me up in their claws.
NO!
I'm dropped down on a ledge by the dragon.
"Come, come to me child!"
Mummy....
I suddenly feel like there's some sort of....bond...between the big dragon and I. I feel like I'm..secure.
"Yes, that's it. Open your mind. You will be safe with me!"
"But my mummy!" I cry out, the bond becoming stronger.

"Your mummy was hunted by the humans, remember?!" an image fills my head. I can picture a bunch of dragon killers killing my mum with pointy weapons.
"Oh..." I say, sad.
Them nasty two legged.....two legged freaks! They killed my mummy!
"Hush now. You need rest!" The dragon says and I hop up to a higher ledge obediently, without thinking of doing it. My limbs move on their own and all I can do is think.

That's how I spent the rest of the years.
--------
(Flashback ends)
So this whole time. I was being controlled. I actually have the freedom to move. But I can't. Because I'm still stuck here. Ironic. I'm free but I'm not. But That queen killed my mum. And filled my head with lies. She must pay!

I shut my eyes, and try get some rest.
She must pay....
+++
Suddenly, a small figure stands on me. I lazily shove them off with a groan.
I don't wanna get up.

I snap my eyes open. I watch as they say something about cutting out my heart and taking it to their kin. And about being a viking.

Well yes, I can see that! I think sarcastically, staring at the figure holding a shiny thing above me. I look in freight. The viking isn't much for size. He must be the runt of the litter. Poor guy. Yet he's about to kill me.

We make eye contact, twice. (First when I shoved him off and second when he raises the weapon.)

He looks as frightened as I am! I think.
But what could be possibly so bad in this Vikings life that he is frightened? I'm tied up. I can't hurt him.
I shut my eyes and lay my head down, saying "Just do it!" though I'm not sure if the viking understands me.

Time passes by, and I begin to wonder if the viking is ever going to it, when suddenly I feel a rope loosen then snap.
What?!
I snap my eyes open, surprised and scared. More ropes loosen and fall away.
Whoa.
As soon as I'm free, I strike.

I roll the small thing over and pin it under my talons.
Prepare to....
I ready myself to kill.
Never mind.
He let me go. He is as frightened as I am. I'm not killing him. He had the chance to kill me, but he didn't. I wanna give him a reason why he shouldn't be afraid.

So, Instead of frying him to ashes, I roar/shriek angrily in his face.
"DO NOT EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" I Shout, before turning and flying off weirdly.

I guess I must still be shaken from the fall.

I dip uncontrollably into a crater and I land.
I should rest.
So, I lay down and close my eyes, ignoring a tingling sensation at the end of my tail as I slowly drift asleep.
It's probably nothing.

Thanks a bunch for reading, I guess :)
Image above not mine. Oh and if the chapter title number is spelt out, it means it's Strikers POV only. But that might change. It probably will. So don't rely on it! Sorry for any mistakes etc.
