Today was the day, I was going to kill my first dragon. I told myself as I heard all of the ruckus outside which meant the chaos has started. Normally I would be in the Blacksmith fixing the weapons. The only reason for that is so that my father would know that I am away from the dragons. Which I find funny because most of the dragons come this way. My guess is that nobody else would take the position. They would rather fight the dragons.

Flashback

I didn't get a chose he said "I have exciting news. You know how you wanted to be out in the action." "Yeah" I replied. "Well you get to be out in the action." "Does thins mean..." "Yes you get to be the new blacksmith." 

End of Flashback

And this is how I am here. It took me a week to finally figure out what to do, and now I am even better then the one before me. Yesterday I made many extras of every weapon we use, so that I would be able to leave for about ten minutes tops. (Yeah we go through at least a hundred weapons per battle with these dragons.) Although I don't just want to kill any dragon I want to kill one of the rare ones. So I am going to work on weapons till one of them show up. About ten minutes into the battle and the best thing happened. I heard someone yell "NIGHT FURY!" Almost everybody went to go see where the Night Fury was, because we have never seem a Night Fury before. No one has for that matter. 

Everyone had there fire concentrated on the Night Fury or a dragon that was about to kill them. Me on the other hand, was slipping through people to where I built this catapult thing that was going to do the work for me. I lined my shot up and in about three seconds the night fury was right where i wanted it to be. I shot the catapult thing and it hit the Night Fury, but nobody saw me do this. I quickly returned to my post and started fixing more weapons. I figured that I should go check for it when everybody goes to bed or right away in the morning.

  When the dragons retreated a couple people went to patrol around just in case the dragons were just regrouping and were going to attack again. The patrols only go as far as the Great Hall which is north, the cliff which is south, and right before the woods start east and west. I wait till they have passed the east side and I take my map and start to venture into the woods. 

An hour had passed when I was ready to give up and head home before I was caught, but then I heard a dragon call straight ahead of me. I quickly but quietly moved towards the sound. I cant believe that I am seeing a night fury with my own eyes. I grabbed my sword and swiftly moved forward. The dragon was wrapped in ropes. I smiled at my handy work.

 The dragon saw me come out from behind the tree and tried to escape, but it couldn't move. "Well then Mr.  Night Fury look who isn't so tough anymore." I raise my sword ready to kill it, when the strangest thing happened. The Night Fury looked straight into my eyes and looked straight back into his. What I saw almost killed me inside. 

The Night Fury closed its eyes and waited. I couldn't kill the Night Fury. I raised my sword and slashed the ropes setting the dragon free. The dragon stood up and looked at me as if it was saying thank you. I stuck my hand out to touch the night fury to say your welcome, when it growled at me and walked backwards. I put down my hand and turned away. I looked back at the dragon to see it staring in my eyes. "I am probably going to regret this." I mumble to myself. 

I stick out my hand once more, but this time I am to scared to look so I look away and hold my breath. when I feel something touching my hand I look back to see the dragons nose pushed up against my hand. The dragon looked at me then walked away. "My nightmare has been nicer to me in one day than the entire village has in my whole life. I think that is what I am going to call that dragon. Nightmare."
