Chapter 10: First Day of Training ( Part 1 )
The camera opened to Hiccup and Toothless standing at the entrance of Dragon Heart's Dragon Academy with the Misfits and their dragons standing behind them.
Runa: ( as she pats Hiccup's back gently: ) Today's the day.
Finn: This is going to be legendary.
Berry: Ooh, I'm so excited. I mean, we've been training here before Hiccup came and joined the pack, but this time we have enough members to be officially considered a pack.
Val: Indeed, this is very exciting.
Runa: Are you ready, Under Flyer?
Hiccup: ( takes a deep breath ) As I'll ever be.
The group then stepped inside with their dragons following close behind them, except for Lonewood. The Timberjack just lifted his head to look over the arena due to him being too big to fit inside the arena.
Once inside, Hiccup saw that the arena was decorated with tapestries of past dragon riders and their dragons, then Hiccup spotted the snow white tapestry that had the picture of a boy his age standing beside a Scauldron that hand the words " Kyrre the Golden hearted, may he and his dearest TidalWave always be remembered " embroidered at the bottom, causing him to stare at it with saddened eyes, realizing that this tapestry was of Bellatrix's son and his dragon.
Hiccup then spotted the other rider packs inside, there were three other groups, but the one that caught Hiccup's attention was the group of five that had matching leather bands around their right wrists that had a Silver Phantom embroidered on the leather in white thread. Hiccup then noticed that the leader, a confident blonde girl with brown eyes, a fit build, fair skin, and pink dots painting on her cheeks, was wearing two leather bands.
Runa: ( to Hiccup: ) That's the Phantoms. Kyrre's pack. Their leader, uh....
Berry: ( as she was staring at the Phantom leader with an awestruck look in her eyes: ) Ericka~
Runa: Yeah, Ericka. Each pack has a specialty, the Phantoms' specialty is stealth and strategy.
Hiccup raised his brow at Berry when he noticed how the Lycanwing girl was looking at Ericka, but he then saw Ericka glanced at Berry's way before turning her head away with annoyance in her eyes, but he noticed that it only made a determined look to appear in Berry's eyes.
Finn: ( to Hiccup, as he glaring at a member of another pack: ) The dorks with the dragon scale necklaces, They're the Priders.
Hiccup then turned to the group Finn was glaring towards, and he noticed that the dragon scale necklaces seemed to have some kind of color code as two of the girl members had necklaces with dark orange, orange, light orange, white, pink, and dusty pink scales while the two boys had matching necklaces with yellow, pink, and cyan scales. Hiccup then noticed that Finn was glaring at the tallest of the Priders, who was a boy with long black hair, gray eyes, pale skin, and wore two dragon scale necklaces around his neck, one had light blue, pink, and white scales while the other has pink, purple, and royal blue scales. When the boy and Finn made eye contact, the boy gave Finn a playful wave " hello " with a slightly flirtatious smirk, causing Finn to growl silently in annoyance with a slight, barely noticeable blush on his face.
Hiccup: Uh, why is Finn...um...
Val: Finn and the Priders' leader " Riff " have an....uh... How do I say this....
Finn: He's an annoying son of a Dragon Hunter-
Finn flinched slightly when Runa gently smacked the back of his head, while Riff just gave Finn a playful wink in response, which made him more annoyed.
Runa: ( quietly: ) Watch your language, and keep your voice down.
Val: ( silently, to Hiccup: ) You'll get used to that. The Priders' specialty is caring and saving young or defenseless dragons from any danger.
Runa: ( to Hiccup, while she looked at one of the members of the third ground: ) Anyway, the ones with a piece of vines braided in their hair are the Finders. They specialize in finding homes for dragons that had lost their old homes or are in need of a new home.
Finn: ( under his breath: ) Aka, tree huggers.
Hiccup when he glanced at the Finders pack, he noticed that one of the members, a short scrawny boy with dark skin, soft dark hair, bright brown eyes, and light freckles was staring at Runa from the back of his group with a longing look in his eyes.
Finn: ( whispers, to Hiccup: ) That's Victor. He's Runa's not so secret admirer. He's the yin while she's the yang. You know, the whole opposites attract thing. And the funny thing is... She knows about his feelings, she's just waiting for him to make the first move, you know, to help him gain confidence and stuff.
Hiccup and Toothless' attention then turned when Bellatrix suddenly flew into the Academy on the academy's mascot.... ThunderBash, the elderly night fury. ThunderBash landed in front of the groups of teens with a silent thud and Toothless' jaw dropped when he saw that the elderly night fury was about twice his size with a few graying scales and sharp yellow eyes. Bellatrix was giving all of the groups a stern look while she dismounted the elderly night fury's back.
Hiccup: ( silently, while looking at ThunderBash: ) Is that....
Val: The one and only ThunderBash.
Bellatrix: SILENT, RECRUITS! STAND ATTENTION!
The Dragon Heart teens and their dragons quickly stopped talking, and stood straight as they turned their attention to Bellatrix while Hiccup and Toothless quickly and nervously followed their lead.
Bellatrix: ( with a stern look: ) So, you think you have what it takes to be proper dragon riders, do ya? You think you have what it takes to earn a place in Eir Sanctuary? News flash, Eel lovers! It's not that simple. Only the finest of the finest dragon riders get to receive that honor, but maybe, by the end of your training, one group might have a slim chance of receiving such an honor. In these few weeks, I will be teaching you the basics before anything else, because right now... I highly doubt any of you even know how to properly organize your saddlebags. Today, we will be starting with two warmup laps.... around the Academy on the ground, before I have you lot choose your short range and long range weapons. Now, let's go, you bunch of hatchlings! ( As she pulls out a crossbow: ) And don't let me catch any of you slackin'.
Hiccup quickly followed the Misfits and the rest of the class out of the Academy to do what Bellatrix said after she fire a warning shot in the air, not wanting to test her limits on the first day, making Bellatrix chuckle slightly.
Bellatrix: This is going to be fun.
ThunderBash rolled his eyes slightly in response before he walked away.
